Resin Art On Mantra Frame

Picture frame: Choose a frame that fits the size of your desired artwork. Epoxy resin: You can find epoxy resin at most craft stores or online. Resin pigments or alcohol inks: These will add color to your artwork. Choose colors that complement your mantra or theme. Mantra or Affirmation: Decide on the mantra or affirmation you want to feature in your artwork. It could be a motivational quote, a personal affirmation, or any meaningful words. Disposable cups, stir sticks, and mixing containers: These are necessary for mixing the resin and pigments. Protective gear: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and work in a well-ventilated area to protect yourself from fumes and potential skin contact with resin. Heat gun or torch: This will help remove air bubbles from the resin after pouring. Level surface and plastic sheet or drop cloth to protect your working area. Instructions: Prepare your frame: Remove the backing and glass from the picture frame, leaving only the front part of the frame. Choose your colors: Decide on the color palette for your resin art. You can use one dominant color or create a gradient with multiple colors. Mix the resin: Follow the instructions on the epoxy resin packaging to mix the resin and hardener. Be precise with the measurements to ensure proper curing. Add colors: Separate the mixed resin into different cups and add resin pigments or alcohol inks to each cup to create your desired colors. Pour the resin: Place the frame on a level surface covered with a plastic sheet or drop cloth. Pour the colored resin onto the frame, allowing it to flow and cover the entire surface. You can pour different colors separately or mix them on the frame for a marbled effect. Add the mantra: While the resin is still wet, carefully place the mantra or affirmation on top of the resin. You can print the words on transparent paper or use pre-cut vinyl letters. Gently press them down to ensure they adhere to the resin. Eliminate air bubbles: Use a heat gun or torch to carefully remove any air bubbles that may have formed in the resin. Let it cure: Allow the resin to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. It typically takes 24 to 48 hours for epoxy resin to fully cure. Reassemble the frame: Once the resin is fully cured and hardened, reassemble the picture frame with its backing. Your resin art mantra frame is now ready to be displayed in your home or given as a thoughtful gift to inspire and motivate others. Enjoy the process and the meaningful artwork you've created!
