Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and mix resin. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with your resin.
Step 2: To the resin add black pigment and glitters. Mix well.
Step 3: Pour the black glittery resin mixture into the silicone mold. Fill the mold all the way to the edge.
Step 4: Wait for the resin to cure.
Step 5: Remove the cured resin from the silicone mold.
Step 6: Using white acrylic paint, paint the engraved detail on the tombstone. Do not worry if it's messy at this stage, it's very easy to clean up later when the paint is dry.
Step 7: Wait for the paint to completely dry.
Step 8: To remove excess paint, use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol (or surgical spirit). This will only remove the paint from the surface of the charm, so you can easily wipe the entire surface at once without worrying about the paint coming off from the engraved parts. Finish by polishing the surface with a soft dry cloth.
Step 9: Stick the magnet at the back of the charm.
