Step 1

Using a clean paintbrush, dust the inside of the mermaid mould with resin powders. Tap out any excess powder and set the mould onto a level, protected surface.
TIP: Choose any powders you want, but to get a similar look as shown, use the blue and green. With resin powders, a little goes a long way.

Step 2

Mix 20 ML of clear casting resin according to package directions. Mix in a small amount of white/clear glitter and pour into mould.

Step 3

Let resin cure for 12-24 hours and enjoy the magic you have created!
