Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Lay the UV tape flat on the table and place a metal frame on top (sticky side up).
Step 2
Apply pearlescent UV resin to the frame, then cure it under the UV light for 2~4 minutes on the front side. After that, flip it over and cure the back side for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Mix the glitter with UV resin, stir evenly, then pour the mixture into the mold until it's about one-third full. Using a stirring stick to spread the glitter evenly, and cure under the UV light for 2 minutes.
Tip：The ratio of glitter to UV resin is about 2:1. Adding too much glitter will prevent the resin from curing properly.
Step 4
Apply a small amount of UV resin to the bottom of the accessories, then place them into the mold and cure with the UV light. This helps secure the accessory in place and prevents it from moving when pouring resin later.
Step 5
Once the accessory is fixed, pour the UV resin to seal and cure under the UV light for 2 minutes. Finally, flip it over and cure the back side for another 2 minutes to avoid sticky residue.
Step 6
Mix glitter with UV resin, stir until evenly blended, then pour the mixture into the mold. After that, cure it under the UV light for 2 minutes. Don't forget to cure the back side as well!
Step 7
After demolding, attach the snowman sticker to complete the piece.
