Make an I spy game resin trinket serving tray

Step 1: Paste

Use hot glue to attach each trinket to the bottom of the tray.

Continue to fill in the gaps with small pieces. The bones are the top of my plate and I use a lot of resin to cover all the pieces ... so plan accordingly and choose straight cut items.

At this point I ran out of pieces ... so I stopped. Space is more, so fill as much as you want.

The second step: resin

Now, in a 2-step process, mix 8 ounces of resin according to the instructions on the package. Mix one part resin and one part hardener and mix for a full 2 minutes.

Then pour the resin into a second bowl and use a new stirring stick to stir the resin for a full minute. This mixing process is very important for the proper curing of the resin.

Then pour the resin mixture onto the surface of the pan. The resin is self-leveling, so it moves around the pallet, filling cracks, holes and small spaces in the trinkets.

So start with just 8 ounces of resin to give you the time it takes to fill the void.

Use a heat gun or mini burner to remove bubbles that form after 20 minutes.

Then cover the tray overnight. This prevents the landing of dust, dandruff and even flies on the substrate. Of course, it would be interesting to add flies to this spy plate, haha.

Allowing the resin to dry overnight, stir and add another 8 ounces of resin to the container. Each glass filled with resin makes them heavier, so don’t forget that. Continue to add this resin and leave overnight until a smooth coating is obtained.

Then add a label listing the items the child can spy on when they see the bowl in which the jewelry will be served. Great handmade gift!
