How To: Homemade Plugs (FINALLY)

I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial! Send video responses if you try it! :)

Things you will need:
A non-waxed bowl (mine is plastic, aka waxed, but i used it b/c it was already ruined)
Steel tunnels (in whatever size you want)
Glitter (I use different colors and sizes together)
Casting Resin
Catalyst (Hardener)
Tape
Stir stick
Clear nail polish

Getting Started:
-Put a piece of tape on the bottom side of each plug so that you get a flat bottom, it will also prevent the casting resin from seeping out the bottom while it's drying.
-Pour some casting resin into your bowl. (I didn't measure mine exactly, I eyeballed it, nothing scientific here haha)
-Pour in the glitter that you've chosen, I used a dark blue chunky glitter then smaller glitter in different shades of blue and purple.
-If you like the color and amount of glitter then proceed to the next step, if not, this is the time to add more glitter
-Add a few drops of the catalyst (hardener) and mix thoroughly
-Pour the mixture into the tunnels, making sure not to overfill them
-Let them dry for a few hours, time will vary depending on the size
-Peel the tape off once they are dry and put a coat of clear nail polish on the front and back sides just to add extra shine.
-Let the clear coat dry and you are done!

If you have any questions or I missed explaining anything, please feel free to let me know and I will get back to you as soon as I can :)

where did you get ur resin from and how much money did it cost

[alfmacintyre]

@emochickluvful i got it from michael's and it wasnt too expensive, maybe like 10-15 dollars, i forget?

coolest homemade ever! And way better than the clay ones lol. Thanks!

[alfmacintyre]

@N33rDow3ll1998 haha yeah, the clay ones are realllyyyy heavy and bulky, not a huge fan lol

[lamezombie]

Those look awesome. How did you made them concave?

[alfmacintyre]

@lamezombie i filled them up like i did with the blue ones and let them sit for a little bit, then you just move it across a surface, like wax paper or whatever you have underneath, and it will seep out the bottom so there isnt as much liquid in the plugs, and let that dry a little, then so on and so forth, continue that until you have them concave to the point you like them. i hope that helps? kinda hard to explain haha

[kassypalacios]

do you think this would work with silicone??

[Paiz0r]

do you think this will work the same with acrylic tunnels?

FYI Micheals has coupons and they also take JOANNEs too. I had a 50% off coupon and bought the easycast 7 bucks. Awesome!
