Supplies needed to make your own marbled resin jewelry box:

  • Unfinished wood jewelry box with recessed top
  • EnviroTex Lite Pour On High Gloss Finish

  • Vintage wash in two different colors
  • Clear adhesive
  • Paint brushes
  • Measuring cups
  • Mixing cups
  • Stir sticks

Learn how to add a marbled resin top to a jewelry box.

Instructions:

Start by finishing the wood on the jewelry box.  I used a vintage wash so that the wood grain would show through.  You could also use paint however a wash or stain works well with boxes like these that have hardware.  No masking is needed as the wash will wipe right off when wet.

Just brush the wash onto the surface, allow to sit about a minute, then wipe off with a rag.  I actually did the inside in another color.  I thought the contrast was a fun surprise when you open the lid.  Allow any paint that you use to dry completely before continuing.

I personally do not trust that the lip of this jewelry box is completely water tight.  I went around the outer edge with a clear adhesive and allowed it to dry.  This will ensure that you do not have any drips after pouring your resin.

It is now time to mix your resin!  Start by mixing about 6 tablespoons total in a measuring cup.  Be sure to use the two cup method for mixing as indicated on the directions that come with the product.  This will ensure that everything gets mixed well.

Then pour about 1/2 of a tablespoon of the mixed resin into each of three smaller cups.

Add one drop of the paint colors of your choice into each cup and mix well with a mixing stick.

Pour the clear resin that you have left into the recess in your jewelry box first.  Be sure it spreads out evenly and into all corners.

You can add as much or as little of the colors as you wish.

Then use an extra stir stick to run through the resin and give it a marbleized appearance.  You can add more color and swirl again if needed.  Just keep playing with it until you reach the look desired.

Remove any bubbles in the resin by either exhaling on the surface or using a small kitchen torch.  Be sure to follow the directions that come with the product for this step.  Finally set on a level surface and allow to cure at least overnight.

    Very pretty. I like the results from the color wash, and the marbling process for the resin is quite interesting and yields an attractive result.
