 We just made three home decor projects using three different resin techniques and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up a welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it? Great that's what we do here and this week we are messing with resin again. We decided we're gonna make a cutting board and a tray. So when I suggested we make the cutting board I had big ideas. I had roses and flowers and Garrett was out. He wasn't in. So I told him he could make the tray and he could do whatever he wanted with his tray. Mine's gonna be feminine. Mine's gonna be bicycle. I found this piece of paper. It's like an old newspaper article with bicycle pieces on it. So I went out to the garage and I grabbed me some bicycle parts some chain pieces and a sprocket. I'm gonna mod podge them on there. Well you're gonna mod podge over your paper right? We're gonna pour the resin and then you're going to float your sockets or just gonna put them on the bottom. Alright okay so step one of mine I'm going to tape off where I think the flowers are gonna go and where the resin where the straight line for the resin is going to be. And that's what I'm gonna start doing. And for me I'm going to mod podge down this piece of paper. Now we learned a lot from our project, our first resin project, our seaside ocean boards. So hopefully we can take some of those lessons learned and some of your comments and make this one even better. So the first thing I'm gonna do to my board is I'm going to add a coat of I guess it would be primer but I'm gonna use acrylic paint for mine. I'm gonna try to go thick to cover up the cracks so the resin doesn't seep through. So now you'll want to cover this paper in mod podge to keep the resin from seeping through and making the paper soggy tearing it up. So it's going to seal the paper. Alright so we have to wait for the mod podge to dry clear. Yeah right clear. Like 15-20 minutes. I'm gonna give my a little more time to dry. It's drying quickly. Now you can do the clock thing. Alright we're back. It's almost dry. This is what I have so far. He's too impatient. Too impatient. Too impatient. My handle is dry. So step two. Step two. Mix the resin. We're using the total boat again because we did some research and it is a food grade safe once it's completely dry. Now I did learn about domable resin but I don't have any of that so I'm just going to have to use all we have. This total boat is a one to one mixture. It's easy. It's so easy. Yeah move those off to the side. Last video Garrett put his sand right in front of my project. Couldn't even see it half the time. Sabotage. Yes sabotage. Alright now it's a three minute slowster. All my bike parts in the tray. Should you pour a small amount in first so that you set them down otherwise will they swim? I don't know. Alright I'm gonna pour a tiny amount in the bottom. I'm gonna add my crimson cut on my clear sticker paper. I'm gonna do that without gloves. Okay so I don't know if you can see that it's clear sticker. I'm gonna add it right to the board. Alright I got my thin layer down. Real thin. Real thin. Now I'm gonna put my bike parts in. Alright so I have a hole in my handle and now I need to cut the center of the sticker out. Yes so. Alright so I've got my sticker on. Looks pretty good. It's not perfect but it looks pretty good. Alright so I'm gonna use some of this mixed clear resin. I don't think I need a ton and I'm gonna add some of this pigment to it. Alright let's see how that does. It's got dark real quick. But we know it doesn't go on that dark. So what do you think? I think I should just try it. Yeah let's say go for it. Hmm. That looks ugly. Are you gonna pour some clear on it? My vision is not where I thought it would be. Okay. Alright well let it dry and see how it goes. Okay so we've each got our resin coats on. Garrett has filled his tray. Looks good. Mine however doesn't look that great. The sticker idea was good although it doesn't like rounding the edges so maybe I should have kept it just on the surface. And I thought I would use a pink tint in my resin and it's gonna look pretty but it's not looking that great. It just kind of looks messy right now. Yeah so I think we're just gonna have to see how this dries a little. So we'll come back in two hours and take the tape off. At that point the resin is set but not fully set or hardened and we should be able to get that off and have a nice clean edge. And then let it harden completely. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. While we're waiting I was gonna pour this resin. Doo doo doo doo doo doo. Two hours later tomorrow. Alright we're back. Let it sit overnight. Mine turned out great. I love it. I can't wait to find a place for it. How'd you turn out babe? So mine didn't turn out so great. So the concept is there but I'll show you a little closer. I used a print and cut sticker but the clear sticker paper and all and it just wasn't pliable enough to wrap around the corner so now I'm thinking I probably should have used a water slide paper. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this. I hate to waste the board. I actually like the cutting board. We'll sand it down and start again. Yeah maybe we just see what we can do to get some of this off and start over. It might be in our next video. I'll try again later. So what are our lessons learned? Don't use the sticker paper and try and cover it with resin unless it's completely flat surface. The part that's flat worked perfectly. Yours? Mine? Well the Mod Podge worked great for sealing the corners and the edges so that it would contain the resin and it also did a great job of protecting the paper so that it didn't mess with the paper. The paper still looks great. Still looks like a newspaper so no I'm completely happy with mine. I'm completely disappointed with mine. But canvas we did. I just had that leftover resin. I poured it on a canvas. That came out great. Looks great. We'll find something to do with this. Yeah I think I can put a vinyl sticker on there and it'll look really cool. I thought for sure it would bleed through but it didn't. Can I put you paint primer or anything to seal it? Nothing. He just poured the resin right on there. Unwrapped it and dumped the leftover resin on it. Yeah looks pretty cool so we'll do something neat with that. We'll make that my project for this week. You can clean that one. Yeah. All right good job babe. I'm going to find a place for my project. I can just stay here. Projects go ahead and leave us a comment down below and hit that like button. It's the thumbs up. Alright until next week you can check out something over here one of these past thingers. You know let us know what you think and we'll see you guys next week.
