Resin accessories

If you’re making resin crafts for the first time, start here ♡ Let’s make accessories super easily! How to make resin accessories. English subtitles. For beginners.

You might think making resin accessories is difficult, but the basics are simply pouring resin and components into a mold, curing, then repeating coating and curing.

While there are tasks like removing air bubbles, it’s surprisingly easy to make—so why not give it a try? Resin accessories are naturally clear, and using parts like shell pieces or sequins gives them an even lighter look.

With findings for earrings, necklaces, rings, and more, you can make virtually any accessory.

Some 100-yen shops also carry the materials and tools you need for resin crafting, so try looking for them if you like.

small pouch with handle

You can make that with bamboo from DAISO! #100yenShop #100yenDIY #DAISO #YouTube #YouTubeShorts

Let me introduce a small handled organizer made from straws.

Lately, you often hear the word “sustainable,” meaning environmentally friendly.

Bamboo straws, which are an eco-conscious alternative to plastic, are even sold at 100-yen shops.

Take 10 bamboo straws and secure them together with glue, then attach them to a small wooden plate with holes.

Glue bamboo straws to both sides as well, insert a bamboo straw into the plate’s hole, and it’s complete.

It’s perfect for holding remote controls or seasonings.

Since it’s made of bamboo and wood, you can create a piece that feels warm and handmade.

Flower Keychain

The trick to not failing is… heat control!! 1) The cleanest finish is with a hot water bath (but it takes time to melt!). 2) If you have an oven, check after about 2 minutes at 200°C and reheat if needed! ↑ I don’t have one, so I couldn’t test this 🙏 3) If you have a toaster oven, start checking after 1 minute on the lowest setting. Doing 2 sets of 1 minute at 170°C will almost completely melt it! If you heat it all at once, bubbles will form, so I recommend low and slow! It’s definitely better to make one test piece rather than jumping straight into the real thing 🙌🏻 Also, even if you pack it full, the glue volume will shrink a lot once it melts, so add clear glue partway through and aim to fill it so it’s just shy of overflowing the mold—then it turns out nicely 😊 Materials: • Glue sticks — having clear as well as colored is GOOD • Mold • Glitter • Screw eye pins (heaton) • Ball chain • Backing card When an adult’s help is needed: • Glue sticks are hard, so have an adult do the cutting • Right after heating it’s very hot, so adults should be careful too! • Attaching the screw eye pins is a bit tough, so it’s good for an adult to handle 😊 Other than that, let the child take the lead and just watch over the parts they can do—it’ll be fine! Hope you make a wonderful gift 🌟 Cost breakdown (about 300 yen): • Clear glue sticks: ~50 yen (half a pack) • Colored glue sticks: ~40 yen (less than half a pack) • Screw eye pins: ~10 yen • Chains: 200 yen (2 packs) ← This is the pricey part 😂#AtHomePlayEducationalwork#Graduation from kindergarten　HandmadePresent

Let’s try making keychains using colorful glue sticks.

Glue sticks are used with a glue gun, a tool that bonds with heat, and they come in a variety of colors.

Cut the glue sticks into short pieces and place them into a mold.

If you add glitter to the mold as well, you’ll get a sparkly keychain.

After heating in a toaster oven or regular oven, remove them from the mold once they’ve hardened.

Trim any excess that sticks out with scissors, attach the keychain hardware, and you’re done.

Depending on the mold, you can make many at once, so they could make great gifts for friends.

Star-shaped shelf

A cute star-shaped shelf made from an ordinary empty tissue box

A star-shaped shelf made from a tissue box not only brightens up a space but is also perfect for displaying small items.

Cut both ends of the back of the box into triangles, remove the center section, and take off the film.

Next, make a star-shaped template using A4 paper and use it to cut cardboard.

Decorate with your favorite origami paper, then assemble the cut tissue box pieces into a star shape and attach the cut cardboard to secure it.

When hung on a wall, it becomes an eye-catching piece of decor, and you can enjoy seasonal variations.

It’s a creative idea that balances playfulness and practicality.
