TUTORIAL:

The first step to this project is to coat the wooden tray with Resin Spray. This will prevent the black resin from seeping into the wood. I sprayed three coats on the inside of my tray.Happy New Year Glitter Resin Tray- Spray entire wooden tray with three coats of resin spray

Next, mix Envirotex Lite. First, put on your vinyl gloves. Then add equal amounts of Part A and Part B to a large mixing cup (I used 3 oz. of each). Mix thoroughly.

Pour the resin into a second cup and add a couple squirts of black paint. Mix thoroughly again.

Add glitter to your black resin. Begin pouring it into the center of the tray.

Tip the tray to spread the resin across the entire thing. Be sure not to tip it back as soon as it hits the edges. Happy New Year Glitter Resin Tray- tip tray to spread resin across entire tray

Be sure your tray is on a level surface. Use your micro-butane torch to pop all of the bubbles. Be sure not to scorch the resin.

Sprinkle glitter wherever you want while the resin is still wet.

Super glue small corks to the bottom of the tray to elevate it and leave space to slide your hands underneath, and also to prevent it from scratching any table surface.
