Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Today I continue on from the Wednesday EXTRAS video and show you the full process on how I made this fun little #resin #island. I loved being able to get really creative with this project and hopefully it gives you plenty of ideas too.
I decided to make this piece because I’ve recently had my 5th year wedding anniversary and my husband collected this piece of driftwood from a beach we visited on holiday and gave it to me as part of my anniversary present (5 years being wood). I thought this would be a really cute way of displaying it.
As mentioned in the video, you can get 10% off with free shipping from Rockstar Resins when you use my code HANNAH at checkout. Just click the link below to be taken to their site. In this video I used both their 5 Star 1:1 Thin Coat resin for the sand base and then their 5 Star 2:1 Thin Coat resin for the waves. If you use this resin for your waves too, let the resin sit for approx 1 hour after mixing and colouring to get the right consistency for wave making - rockstarresins.com/r?id=0b4e77
