To add waves to your ocean, add white dye along shoreline after 1/2 of curing time (resin will be tacky) use a small nozzle bottle and stream your wave lines on. Blow lightly with a straw so you can froth the line. To keep your pictures from warping, simply spray them with a Clear Acrylic Sealer, let them dry, and then they won't warp, bleed, or fade. To be sure of how much resin which will not overflow simply measure with water the amount of liquid needed in mold. Be sure to dry mold completely, water and resin does not mix. I've worked with Resin now 10+ years and I still find it fascinating. You are right to use all of your PPE. I do every time I pour. My profile picture is a Resin Seahorse.

I have done resin with a friend before, and it was a lot of fun! Here are some hints that I learned from her, some from YT and some just from being old and experienced in the School of Hard Knocks! Be careful with heat tools - you really can burn your resin pieces and damage the molds.
I noticed your work surface got a little cramped as you moved through your projects - I save the plastic and foam trays that come under meats from the grocery. Clean them up and sanitize them with bleach - these are excellent to put your molds on so that you can move them aside when ready to cure (and remember - no heat on those either).
Additionally, you can also put a damp towel over the top of your dryer (or washing machine on spin cycle!) and lay those trays directly onto your laundry machines to "jiggle" out the bubbles.... The Alcohol spray bottle works great too, and the hand sander will work great too (with no sand paper on the pad) and pressed gently up to the side of the wood that is holding your pieces, but that seems a tad I have RA and PSA and can't see myself standing next to a sheet of plywood and holding a sander. But VileAce is 100 percent correct in that this WILL work (I've seen this method used for poured concrete and it works like a champ!)...
As others have suggested, paint the sides and/or apply cork or felt to the bottoms of those pieces that "bother" you when you see them from the side. I would also encourage you to look into your ribbon stash...😃
Oh, and those molds that have a "lip" around them - maybe use a different color to pour in there as well - sort of like adding your own frame!!!! The one with the photo could also make a great fridge magnet!
Lastly, those tiny jewelry pieces? OMG what great little wine glass charms those would make! You could do animal themes, holiday themes, or just beautiful colors!

Sorry this is so long - it just shows how excited your video has made me about doing more I'm a new fan!

I painted different shades of blue & green on a big canvas, spread resin all over with an old gift card, added sand to the bottom, & while the resin was wet, I sprinkled holographic embossing powder used for card making all over. When it was all set, I glued shells & a small piece of driftwood, and it came out so sparkly & beautiful 😊

Loved your video. I had no idea DT sold Resin. I have seen that same brand at Hobby Lobby with kits. I do think I would like those smaller bottles to start out. Less intimidating.😊 Loved watching your process and the lets go for it attitude. Definately gives us newbies inspiration to try it out❤

[livingcreatively]

If you want to use things like the floating snowflakes, do a tiny bit of resin in the bottom, add the flakes, let it set and then add more resin.

[MyVeganLife-mcsm]

I just want to say, that affect is Amazing, I like the end result with the use of Black Acrylic paint, going to give this ago, and who would have thought using Dish Soap with resin would work, Amazing, well done.

When mixing colors, if you don't want your sand to mix with the other colors, let the sand set up for 6 to 12 hours and then you won't have color blend you may not want

[VileAce]

Couple of recommendations. Use a deburring tool to trim the edges instead of sanding. A deburring tool follows the contour and makes a clean cut, where sandpaper you will need to use multiple grits to get back to a clear edge. Second, place your mold on a sheet of wood and use an orbital sander on the wood to remove air bubbles after pouring. Do not use the sander directly on the mold, but indirectly vibrate the mold to move the air bubbles. Like you said make sure your resin is warm, or the air bubbles will be difficult to move.

If you want the Bubbles to come to the surface put some alcohol in a spray bottle and spritz the Resin filled molded with a lil bit of Alcohol and you will see the Bubbles come up to the surface. That’s one way to get the Bubbles to come out.

Great video. I like that you let the viewers know that you are doing this project and using resin for your first time. I find it best to just lay a very thin coat on the coasters and letting it rest a bit before placing embellishments. Just let it get tacky. I find that watching videos is relaxing and very informative. Have a Blessed day.

[DeborahBlaylock-erfl]

I have a suggestion to do with the foam stickers. You'll need to do 2 pours. Place half the amount of resign then place the foam stickers. They will float. Let it dry. Then you can add the 2nd part of your resign over it. The stickers will not move. They will be trapped between the 2 layers of resign. Good luck. When i did it, it worked great.

[christinabrittain]

I love that you tried all of these designs so that I can learn from this. I’ll definitely be giving resin a try for the first time this summer since learning from your experience.

[prettyrichgirl]

Hello all of the items were really cute but, my favorite is the coaster for your son, the hello, and the picture. Thank you for the share. Take care...

[DKP]

When I did a picture coaster I just put a little in the bottom of the mold and put picture in and then finished covering the rest with resin. Turned out great.

[biancajones]

Also one more thing when you add the white into your resin and mix it until well blended. You can pour it to a slant or however you feel is best for you after you've poured it onto your chosen surface. You can take a little blow dryer and jiggle your hand over the white part to give it a more realistic kind of look. And you can also try pigments, and alcohol inks and spray them with alcohol to get even better effects for a more realistic look for your beaches. 😊❤😊 can't wait to see what you come up with using these techniques I gave you on your up coming videos.😊❤

[malikat]

You did great for a first time. I am really impressed by the quality of the resin, not bad at all for a dollar tree product.

[ChristieinFlorida]

Wow, what great fun projects. Your video came across my feed so I decided to watch it. Loved it. Following now. May just have to run to DT now and pick up some resin to play with on crummy days. We are having too many in Florida lately. Good heavens, lol.

[biancajones]

Hi.just wanted to let you know that ii am a Artist 🎨 😊and I have been working with resin for about 5-6 years if not more ..I just wanted you to know that when making your beach coasters, soap dishes, , or even a beach
Sean on a canvas. You can mix your resin as directed on packaging and add your colors of blues, green, and for a sea foam kind of look you can add into.the clear remaining resin like 2-3 drops of White acrylic paint. To give it a sea foam look or just water rolling onto the beach sand. 😊❤ Hope this could help you ❤.

P.s. you can also use dried flowers, 🌸 💐 p, glitters, almost anything you can imagine..youcan use. Happy Resining!!

Also I have never used Dollar Tree Resin Yet. I buy the by the Gallons And they cost $106.00

[TKelly-kdfy]

I have never seen any resin products or molds at DT. Love the projects!!! Thank you for all the tips. I would not have known to wear a mask. Could you go around the edges of the coaster with a gold paint pen to add a little sparkle? I think the snowflake coaster could be reversible--you can use both sides. I love the way some of the sand appears to be retreating into the water. I just wish your video had the button to press to save it into a folder so I can always find it easily.

[renegarcia]

You did an awesome job. I have resin that I purchased probably two years ago and have still not used it because I have just been afraid of messing things up. But, if you mess it up, start all over again. Your video has certainly encouraged me to just get out my resin and get going with it and see what happens. Also, the picture coaster that you made looks awesome even from the side. I know that bothers you though and I just had an idea. Thought maybe you could just take some paint and paint around those edges to hide it. Again, I have never worked with the resin to even know if this is possible. But I guess it’s worth a try. I love to know if you try it and how it turns out.
