Resin paper weights are amazing!  Each one is an original one-of-a-kind piece of ART.  Since I have been using alcohol inks in some projects lately, I thought I would see how they worked for a paper weight.

The results are a transparent paper weight when looking through it.

Materials for Resin Paperweights with Alcohol Ink

  • EasyCast®
  • Castin’ Craft Mold Release
  • MC Poly Mold, Paper Weight
  • Alcohol Ink, Denim
  • Mixing cups and Stir sticks
  • Toothpick
  • Lighter
 
Project Instructions: 
Spray mold with mold release.
 
Measure out equal parts (1 ounce each) of EasyCast resin and hardener. 
 
 Then, stir together for 2 minutes.  Pour mixture into a second cup and stir for another minute.
 
 Pour resin into mold.  
 
 Add a couple drops of the alcohol ink.
 
Gently stir the alcohol ink.
 
Use a lighter to remove any air bubbles that rise to the top.
 
Let set for 24 hours.

 

Remove from the mold.
 
I love how transparent it seems in the light,  From this photo you can see that it looks a bit layered.
 
From this photo you can see that it appears a bit darker.  What is cool about this paper weight is that it looks different from every angle.
 
Give this a try and enjoy!
