Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1

Take one slice of expired toast. Use a craft knife to hollow out the center of the toast. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Leave a thickness of 0.3–0.4 inches to prevent the toast from being too thin and tearing during the process.

Step 2

Mix the epoxy resin thoroughly in a 1:1 volume ratio. Prepare two cups of the mixed resin, then mix the yellow pigment paste and white pigment paste to color the resin mixture individually.

Step 3

Prepare another cup of clear resin mixture. Flip the toast over and pour it over the toast. Let it cure for 12 hours.

Step 4

Pour the mixed yellow resin into a round gem mold. Let it cure for 12 hours, then demold. The "egg yolk" is done.

Step 5

Pour the mixed white resin onto a silicone mat and let it cure at room temperature (68–77°F) for 4–5 hours. This creates the effect of "egg white".

Step 6

Carefully peel the semi-cured white "egg white" from the silicone mat, then place the egg white and egg yolk onto the toast in order. Once the egg white has fully cured, it will naturally adhere to the toast and stay in place.

Step 7

Place the fairy lights into the hollowed-out side of the toast, then secure it with hot glue.

Step 8

Your cute toast & egg lamp is completed!
