Transparent and colored epoxy mixed with hardener is used for the manufacture of various jewelry and homemade products - for example, decorative elements of the interior.
In this article, we will consider how to make an original box of green epoxy resin and pine cones with your own hands. Such an unusual element of decor will be a great addition to any interior. Moreover, its manufacture will require simple and affordable materials.
Making a beautiful round epoxy box
First we mix the epoxy resin with the hardener (in accordance with the proportion recommended by the manufacturer), after which we add the necessary amount of dye. In this case, we will use a green dye.
Grease a plastic container of suitable sizes from the inside with Vaseline, so that the epoxy does not stick to the walls., And we fill up the pine cones inside. The upper cone is fixed with adhesive tape so that it does not pop up. Then fill the "stuffing" with epoxy.
After the epoxy is completely solidified, we take out the workpiece from the mold and then process it on a lathe. You need to make a cover, as well as a hole inside the box. The surface of the product is ground and polished. The detailed process of making a decorative box of epoxy and pine cones, see the video on the site.
