If you’re bored at home and want to try something creative, then resin art is definitely worth a go. Whether you’re just starting out or already loving DIY, these resin art ideas are super fun and honestly quite addictive once you start. From cute charms to beautiful home decor, resin is a great way to mix art and craft into one.
At Our Kraft Store, we got everything you’ll need – from silicon moulds to resin and hardeners and even all the necessary items for your DIY resin projects. Let’s check out some fun and creative stuff you can make right from home!
1. Resin Keychains
Probably the easiest thing to start with. Just get an alphabet or shape mould, mix your resin and hardener, throw in some glitter or dried flowers, and pour. That’s it. It makes awesome gifts too.
Our silicon mould collection has some cool letter and shape moulds perfect for keychains.
2. Floral Coasters
Wanna try something that looks fancy but still easy? Make coasters using real dried flowers. Pour clear resin, add flowers, and top it off with another layer. Looks beautiful and makes a great handmade gift.
Just make sure to use a good quality resin and hardener so the coasters stay clear and don’t go yellow.
3. Resin Jewellery
You can totally make your own resin earrings, pendants, and rings. Mix in tiny glitters, shells or foil flakes for different looks. Super trendy and fun.
All tools you need for jewellery making can be found in our necessary items section.
4. Nameplates & Wall Art
Make your nameplate cooler by adding resin art. Use alphabet moulds or free pour your name and decorate it with flowers or metallic powder. You can also make framed resin wall art with any theme.
These make great gifts for weddings or new homes. A real standout from boring wooden ones.
5. Resin Photo Frames
This one is so personal and pretty. Add small photos into resin frames along with some sparkle or dried petals. It’s like freezing memories forever in a glassy look.
Use flat or rectangular moulds and don’t forget to let each layer dry well before adding the next.
6. Agate Mould
If you like a bit of glam, then geode resin trays are perfect. Use gold foil, stones, and different shades of resin to give it a gemstone look. Great for home decor or gifting.
For bigger trays, use proper resin art with hardener designed for deep pour so your tray doesn’t crack.
7. DIY Resin Clock
Make a wall clock that’s not boring. Use a round mould, mix colors, add shimmer or marble effects, and insert a clock kit. Boom – you’ve made your own timepiece.
Looks awesome in your living room and totally custom.
8. Resin Bookmarks
Bookworms, this one’s for you. Make flat bookmarks with quotes, glitter, or mini dried leaves. Add a cute tassel and they’re ready. Quick, easy, and sellable too if you're into small biz.
9. Festive Resin Rakhis
Raksha Bandhan coming up? Make your own rakhi using resin charms! Add the name or initials of your brother, use traditional colors, and tie it with satin ribbon.
10. Resin Candle Holders
Make small tealight holders or decorative candle cups. Use molds shaped like flowers, stars or round cups. Just make sure to use them with LED candles unless your resin is heat safe.
These add charm to any festival setup and look super elegant.

FAQs – Resin Art Ideas
I’m a beginner. Which resin project should I start with?
Keychains or bookmarks are best to begin with. They're easy, use less resin, and let you understand mixing and curing. Once you're confident, you can move to bigger resin decor ideas like trays or clocks.
Can I use normal plastic moulds for resin?
Nope, not a good idea. Resin can stick or even damage cheap plastic. Always use silicon moulds made for resin crafts. They’re flexible and make demolding super easy.
What happens if I don’t mix resin and hardener properly?
You’ll end up with sticky or soft resin that never cures fully. Always follow the ratio mentioned on your resin and hardener kit and stir slowly but properly for a few mins.
Is resin safe to use at home?
Yes, just be careful. Wear gloves, work in a well-ventilated room, and cover your workspace. Some resins smell or release fumes, so don’t use it near food or kids. And store the extras properly.
My resin project came out with bubbles. What can I do?
Next time, pour slowly, use a toothpick to pop bubbles, or use a heat gun. Let your mixed resin sit a bit before pouring. Some bubbles come from mixing too fast or pouring too quick.
