Travel Memory Magnets with Resin

by Fran Valera

Here’s a great idea for transforming memories of your favorite trips into awesome reminders that can live around you, not just on your computer!

MEMORY MAGNETS: I used the Doming Technique and added some jump rings to connect our awesome pictures to some simple graphics created in MicroSoft Word or Photoshop.  You can even cut pieces from postcards, brochures, maps….

TRAVEL COLLAGE: And here I use the Casting Technique to layer bits and pieces to create this wonderful collage.  Bottom layer is actually cut from a map and becomes a little translucent when you put it in the resin.  Second layer is a stamp, 3rd layer is a metal charm (I cut off the ring at the top).  Be sure to allow at least 4-5 hours between layers, more if your item is heavy.

Click the image above to watch our new video featuring the little-windows.com Paper Punches, metallic acrylic paints and the Silicone Doming Tray. Here are some of the featured projects, just look how Brilliant Resin over the paints makes them glow.
Here's another idea, I'm always looking for unique hair clips to hold my mop out of my face.  This one used the bendy resin technique, then I attached a metal hair clip using E6000 for flexibility.

 

For these projects you'll need:

Brilliant Resin (includes Measure & Mix Cups and Mixing Wands)
Large Silicone Doming Tray
Punches - you can get our sets or select the matching medium and small shapes you want (eg; small circle + medium circle)
Spring Drill
Clear Button Shanks
Dust covers (can be from any of our mold sets, or you can use a plastic container)
Sturdy jump rings (or other findings)
Metallic acrylic paints and crummy brushes

 

Have fun and send me pics of your creations!
