Retro Craft: Vintage Resin Lucite Grapes DIY

Are you familiar with resin grapes? In the 50's, women loved to do it ... they enjoyed seeing bunches of grapes in the homes of older women. Usually called Lucite grapes. I decided that what I really needed to do was learn how to do it right. My mother-in-law has a collection of purple grape resins, but I decided to use blue-green shades. I'm dealing with blues. If you still can't say!

Start by removing jewelry from the jewelry. Insert them into the egg box by turning the hole upside down. I used ornaments with a metal coating inside the glass ... so when I tore the glass, there was a piece of silver foil left.

If you do not like the silver effect, use clean glass. Sprinkle the solution into each scarf and work inside.

Fill an oversized party glass for a contemporary floral arrangement. Each of me weighed a little over 1 ounce. I mixed about 6 ounces of resin at a time so I could mix different colors. Mix the resin according to the packaging instructions. Mix 1 part resin and 1 part hardener, gently for 2 minutes. Then pour the mixed resin into a second glass, mix with a new stick for 1 minute.

Then add a few green dots and one or two blue dots. I made darker blends, some lighter ... some greener, some lighter blue blends. The variety of colors in my packaging is extremely pleasing. Mix the paint thoroughly before filling.

After mixing, carefully pour the resin on each garnish. Then fill slowly, try to fill the bubbles with resin, but not on the neck ... otherwise you will need a grinder to remove them later.

Continue to fill the decorations with colored resin in the same way. Then allow to sleep for 24 hours. I mixed the resin several times to finish all 18 stones using almost all 32 ounce boxes.

The next day, touch the 2 decorations in the box. Put on gloves again, protect your eyes, work outdoors or in the garage. The glass of this jewelry is divided into pieces as shown in the photo below.

By cutting the jewelers themselves, they break and the glass shell is easier to peel off! Although I had some difficult moments, I had to scratch them with a small spatula. Then wash them all in warm soapy water.

Do you see how much silver is left as a result? But I didn't know it would happen until I tried it ... but I also like the effect.

Then I sent my son to the garage to turn the cones, digging a 1-inch hole with 6-inch wire in each ball. Then pour the wire and add a few drops of super glue.

Then pass the wire through the hole and wrap the rest of the wire tightly around the branch.

Now dig the necessary holes and continue to add the resin balls. Finally, wire the vines while working.

Then fill in the gaps by adding colored resin balls. Finally, hold the resin grains as close to the tree as possible, pushing them gradually as you climb ... give the vines a special bunch of grapes.

The color scheme is absolutely amazing. I like the bright waves of the sea. That's amazing, isn't it? It's like a car from the 1950s. I like to revive fun antiques.
