How to make

1. Reverse Ink Drop Technique

Step 1: Maintain a distance between each ink drip.

Step 2: Pour the resin soon to avoid the evaporation of alcohol ink.

Step 3: Slowly pour the resin into the center.

Step 4: If any ink marks, rub them to soften the edges with a silicone rod.

2. 3D Resin Flower Technique

Step 1: Mix white pigment and resin together with a ratio of 1:100.

Step 2: Pour the resin into the mold after it reacts and reaches 32℃. (Tips: Here we use let's resin brand, each brand is different)

Step 3: Add a few drops of alcohol ink into the resin.

Step 4: Use the white resin to draw the outline of the flowers. (Tips: Make sure the white line is as fine as possible in case of sinking)

3. Cloud Technique

Step 1: Add 30~50 drops of white alcohol inks in 1 oz of clear resin and mix evenly.

Step 2: Pour the resin into the mold but not overfill it.

Step 3: Control the amount of white resin by pinching the cup and pour it out continuously.

Step 4: Use the silicone rod or toothpick to make some random swirls.

4. Resin Petri Technique

① Method #01:

Step 1: Pour the resin into the mold but do not overfill it.

Step 2: Drop several drops of colored alcohol inks into the resin.

Step 3: Drop the white alcohol ink on top of the colored alcohol ink. (The amount of white alcohol ink used is twice that of the colored alcohol ink used)

Step 4: Repeat step 2 & step 3 several times as per the depth of the mold. (The more alcohol ink is added, the deeper it sinks)

Step 5: De-mold the item after 24 hours.


② Method #02:

All the previous steps are the same as method #01.

In the last step, wait for 10~15 min, then use the silicone rod to make some swirls.


③ Method #03:

All the previous steps are the same as method #02.

In the last step, add a small amount of resin. (The resin will help the ink sink deeper and also create a silk effect)
