“You made that?!” Get ready to surprise everyone! A must-see for anyone struggling with bubbles: How to make a new acrylic stand using only resin (2024) [DIY Oshi Goods] – How to Make Acrylic Stand Figures

Here’s how to make an acrylic stand that lets you display an illustration upright by inserting it into a base.

First, prepare a glossy print of your grandchild’s photo or an illustration.

Turn the paper over, apply acrylic paint, and spread it with a sponge.

Next, cut a PP sheet to use as a work base, then cut out the illustration from the glossy paper.

Place a silicone mat over the illustration, add the base portion, and cut.

Then, apply UV resin to the illustration and overlay a clear file.

Press from above with a UV-LED light to cure the illustration, then place a mold on top and apply more resin.

Cure again, then trim away any excess with nippers.

Finally, sand the edges and place the piece onto the base you made to finish.

Original watch

[Jishingi Workshop] Create Your Own Original Clock with Kukki!

Here’s an idea for making an original clock that gives off a stylish vibe and looks great as interior decor.

You can easily put it together using a photo frame, an illustration, and a clock kit from a 100-yen shop.

First, take out the backing board from the back of the photo frame and make a hole in it where the center of the clock hands will go.

Next, align the hole with the illustration and the hands from the clock kit, attach them, and then reassemble the frame to finish.

It also makes a great gift if you draw an illustration based on a cherished photo, like a memory with your grandchild or a family picture.
