Step 1

Follow instructions on packaging to mix resin. You only enough to cover the bottom surface of your mould.
TIP: Make sure mould is clean, dry and free of dust.

Step 2

Pour resin into mould. Use a toothpick to help move the resin so it completely covers the bottom of the surface and to pop any bubbles. Set aside to cure overnight.

Step 3

Create a design or a quote in Cricut® Design Space™ and cut from vinyl.

Step 4

Use transfer tape to add vinyl design to cured resin in mould. Burnish to make sure all edges of the vinyl are bonded to resin.
TIP: Add a clear layer of resin between layers of vinyl for a 3D look. Let resin cure between layers.

Step 5

Mix a top layer of clear resin and pour into your mould as you did in Steps 1-2. Set aside to cure overnight.

Step 6

Carefully remove your shape from the mould.

Step 7

Attach your keyring to the hole at the top of your resin shape with a jump ring.
TIP: To open and close a jump ring, simply grasp the jump ring on both sides with chain nose pliers and twist the ring open, from side-to-side. Never pull the jump ring which can cause distortion.

Step 8

Embellish your keyring with a tassel from Bead Landing™ and/or a charm from a large assortment of options from Charmalong™ by Bead Landing™.
NOTE: If you want a two-sided keychain, cut the front design in reverse and work the mould as if the front is facing down. Make sure the reverse side of your vinyl matches the front. Attach the reverse vinyl to the first clear layer of resin. Mix another small amount of resin, add dye and/or glitter and pour in mould. Let cure overnight. Add the design for the back of your keychain (not reversed) then add a final layer of clear resin. Let cure.
