Crushed Kisses

Last week my friend and I went into an op shop.I was curious on what this thing is.I initially thought it was crushed glass.The shop owner called it crushed kisses though.So I got 2 colors.

I immediately went home and started experimenting. I thought it would be cool to mix it with resin so I got my old trusty trinket molds.

I started by putting some glitters in the mold. On hindsight I would have poured in some resin, allowed it to cure and then added some more.

You'll have something that looks like this.

Pour in the resin.I used epoxy resin for my craft.I am in no position to use expensive ones.

Let it dry according to the manufacturer's guidelines.I usually put mine outdoors for safety reasons. This took roughly 2 days to dry up completely.It usually takes a whole 24 hours for most resins.Factors such as the weather condition, temperature, mold thickness and additives play a role in curing. If it does not show any signs of curing within 24 hours though, there you did something wrong.....just saying.....

De mold and you'll have something that looks like this.
