Weekend Resin Projects: Creative Ways to Put Your Skills to Work

Start Small, Learn the Flow

Resin is one of those materials that rewards practice. The best way to gain confidence is to start small and experiment with clear, low-viscosity systems like Clearpox Ultra Clear. The 750 mL or 1.5 L kits are perfect for learning how to mix, pour, and de-bubble without wasting material.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll understand how colour, temperature, and pour depth all affect your final finish — and you’ll have a few handmade pieces ready for home use or gifts.

Project Ideas for the Weekend

Here are some fun, achievable projects that people love to make — and that can often be found at local markets or gift stores:

• Coasters & Trivets: Use silicone molds or wooden discs coated in Clearpox Ultra Clear. Add pigments, dried flowers, or crushed shell for a unique finish.
• Serving Boards: Combine resin and timber for small cheese boards or platters. Seal first with EpoxyPro EP4010 or EP4020 to prevent air bubbles, then pour a tinted coat for the highlight area.
• Jewellery & Keyrings: Small molds are a great way to use leftover resin from larger projects. They cure fast and look great with pigment powder or metallic flakes.
• Timber Repair & Restoration: Use resin to fill knots, cracks, and voids in timber slabs. It’s a perfect way to save otherwise discarded wood — ideal for coffee tables, clocks, or art panels.
• Custom Signs: Mix resin with glow-in-the-dark pigment or metallics and pour into routed timber lettering or logo cutouts.

For Those Who Sell at Markets

Many weekend creators find enjoyment in sharing or selling what they make — not as a promise of income, but as a natural next step in the creative process. Resin lends itself well to small-batch or one-of-a-kind products that attract attention at local markets, craft fairs, or boutique homeware stores.

If that’s something you’d like to explore, we recommend starting with smaller kits, testing your finish consistency, and documenting your process. Once you’re confident, our bulk & trade options make it easy to step up production when you’re ready.
