Create your very own resin moon phases wall hanging with Promise Table Top Epoxy and colorful Mica Powders from Color Creator!

Hey Resin Crafters! Amber Oliver here with another great resin craft! We’re in a new year and it’s time for some new resin projects. New resin molds, new mica powders, and a new name for one of our favorite two-part epoxy resins. For this moon phases resin wall hang project I used the gorgeous celestial mica powders from Color Creator and Promise Epoxy Table Top Epoxy! (previously called ProMarine!)

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR RESIN MOON PHASES WALL HANGING

  • 8oz of Promise Epoxy Table Top Epoxy
  • Moon Phases Mold
  • Color Creator Mica Powders
  • Small mixing cups
  • Mixing cups and stir sticks
  • Gloves
  • Drill
  • Hanging Hardware
  • Crushed Glass (Optional!)

RESIN MOON PHASES WALL HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

Printable instruction card can be found at the bottom of the post.

Safety first! Before you start working with epoxy resin, make sure that you’re wearing protective eyewear and gloves, cover your workspace or use a silicone mat in case of spills, and be sure to work in a well-ventilated area.

Step 1: Choose your mica powder colors and have small mixing cups ready for each color you’ll use in your project.

Step 2: Prepare the  Promise Table Top Epoxy.  This is a multi-step process so don’t start mixing until you are ready to do the whole process from beginning to end! Most importantly, if it’s cold, add the bottles to a warm water bath before mixing. Mix EQUAL parts of the Hardener and the Resin.

Next, stir for two minutes (be sure to scrape the bottoms and sides) then pour from the first cup into a second and mix with a new stir stick for another minute (or until there are no swirls visible).

Step 3: Gently pour into your smaller mixing cups and stir in a TINY amount of mica power. Add more if needed to achieve the colors you want!

For this project, I only needed a small amount of the purple, magenta, and silver so I added the black to the main cup so the majority of our resin was the gorgeous black metallic.

Step 4: Fill the molds with the black resin mixture.

Step 5: Swirl in the other colors to get a celestial, galaxy look.

Step 6: Use a heat gun to pop any bubbles that rise to the surface of your project. After, you may have to repeat this a few times to get them all! At this point, I also sprinkled on a bit of crushed glass. I used black and it blended too well! I suggest using a color that will stand out a bit better!

Step 7: Allow the resin to cure for 24 – 72 hours (climate dependent).

Step 8: Demold the moon phases pieces and drill holes to add the hanging hardware.

Your beautiful wall hanging is now ready to be hung up in your home. Display in any room you want to add your own creative artwork to! Instead of keeping mine a wall hanging, I decided to take the pieces and add hooks to create ornaments for my Halloween Tree!

I hope this project inspires you to try Promise Epoxy and Color Creator Mica Powders! Create your own Moon Phases wall hanging with your own personal spin and color choices.
