 Hi, I'm Meg from Meg D on Art. I am here at Art Resin Headquarters today. I'm gonna be showing you how to make geode phone grips. They're a great way to make your phone unique and they're also super fun to make, so let's get into it. For this project, you're going to need some art resin powder pigments, but of course you can use resin dyes, alcohol inks, whatever you would like, and also some gold flakes. This is the mold I'm gonna be using. As you can see, the outside gives it that nice geode effect. We're gonna be painting that gold later. Of course, you're gonna need your phone grip base, some super glue to attach the top to the base, some gloss varnish to keep the metallic paint on, and your gold metallic paint. So now let's mix our resin. I'm going to be doing 50 milliliters, so 25 milliliters of resin and 25 milliliters of hardener. Okay, now let's set our stopwatch for three minutes and I'm just going to mix it. I try to mix at a pretty slow pace just to avoid getting a lot of bubbles and making sure you're scraping the sides and the bottom so that it all gets mixed together properly. First thing that I like to do is pour a little bit of clear resin in the center with some gold flakes. It gives it that geode effect. So I just pour it in the center. Even if you pour too much, it's not a big deal because we're gonna be adding some colors later, but I try to put about that much and then I will take these gold flakes and just put them in the middle and I kind of separate them into little pieces. And now I'm going to mix all the different colors with the resin. Pour a little bit of resin into each of these cups and now it's time to add the powder pigments. I add about that much and you just mix that in with the resin and you just repeat this process for all the other colors. So now we're going to pour the colors into the mold. I try to stay along the outside that way it doesn't seep into the clear resin that we've poured and then put your heat gun on a low setting to pop the bubbles. And now we're just gonna repeat that process for all of them. Now that we have poured these geode foam grip pieces, we're gonna let them cure for 24 hours. I like to cover mine just to make sure no dust or dirt gets into them. I will see you in 24 hours. All right, so I'm only at art resin for today so I have prepared some foam grip top pieces. I just have to paint the edges gold with this gold metallic paint, only paint in one direction because if you paint side to side it can take the paint off as you're doing it. I usually do about three to four layers of gold paint just to make sure that it's really solid and super pigmented. And the last step is to use some gloss varnish just to keep the paint on because we know we're all rough with our phones and I wanna make sure that this stays really solid and then I just let that dry. Final step is to super glue this onto a foam grip base, place the top piece on and I hold that down for about 30 seconds to make sure that it's really gonna stay. How to put it on your phone, you're just going to peel this piece back here and place it on. There we have it, a geode foam grip. I absolutely love making these. It's probably one of my favorite things that I make with resin. So I hope you had as much fun watching this video as I did making these. Thank you for being here with me today. Bye.
