Hi Everyone, you asked me to show how I resin jar lids, so here is that tutorial. Longer than usual, but necessary to show the entire process.
In this video I cover:
1. Taping off the jar lid, inside and out.
2. The actual bloom paint pour. Waiting at least 7 dry days to dry, preferably 10 full dry days.
3 The resin process from start to finish- always use a Respirator!
4. The finish up including tricks for a clean tape removal and edge.
I hope you watch the entire video for the start to finish explanation of how I make jar lids.
For this round I created 6 total, all different, upon request and the new owner loved them so much, she asked for 6 more. These lucky jar lids get to live out their usefulness in Hawaii! I’ll show all 6 by the end.
