🔍Step-by-Step Operation Process
Step 1
Mix regular resin in a 1:1 volume ratio until thoroughly blended. Stir until no swirls and the mixture becomes transparent.
Step 2
Add Opal Chunky Glitter to the resin, then drip in resin dye, and mix evenly using a stirring stick.
Tip: Add color tint gradually in small amounts to avoid overly dark shades.
Step 3
Pour the resin mixture into one end of the alphabet, filling about half of the mold.
Step 4
Pour transparent resin into the other half to create a gradient effect. The total amount of resin should fill two-thirds of the mold’s depth. Allow it to be cured for 12–24 hours.
Step 5
After the resin has cured, place holography alphabet paper inside the mold.
Step 6
Cover with a transparent resin layer to seal and allow it to cure for 24 hours.
Step 7
Once fully cured, drill a hole on the side with a resin drill tool. Attach a keychain, and your glitter letter keychain is all set!
Pro Tip
The amount of the added colorants should not exceed 5% of the resin. Excessive addition may result in a sticky finish or prevent proper curing.
