🔍Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Apply a base coat to the tray using black and white markers, and let it dry completely.


Step 2
Use a black marker to draw the grid lines, then fill the squares with markers in assorted bright colors.




Step 3
Use the black marker again to trace and refine the edges, enhancing the gemstone-like appearance of the colored squares.


Step 4
Finally, use dark and white markers to add highlights and shadows to the gems, creating a 3D effect.


Step 5
Warm up Part A and Part B bottles in the Preheater in advance. Take them out and mix thoroughly in a 1:1ratio until evenly blended.
In winter (low-temperature conditions), the resin will become thicker. Using the preheater can enhance the flowability of resin, making it easier to mix.


Step 6
Pour the resin mixture into the tray and let it cure for 12 hours.


Step 7
The hand-painted brick resin tray is complete! Looks easier than you thought, right? It would make a stunning decoration for your living room or bedside table. I'm sure whoever receives this as a gift will be truly moved! After all, it's crafted with so much heart and care!


💡Professional Tip
In winter, epoxy resin tends to become more viscous, which may cause bubbles in your artwork. It's recommended to warm the bottles in a resin preheater (set to 122°F) beforehand to restore their fluidity before use.
