Instructions

Step 1: Prepare and mix epoxy resin as per manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2: Pour some of the clear resin into a separate small mixing cup.

Step 3: To the small mixing cup add holographic gold fine glitter, holographic gold chunky glitter and gold pigment.

Step 4: To the large mixing cup add holographic gold fine glitter, holographic gold chunky glitter and iridescent blue fine glitter.

Step 5: Mix each cup well.

Step 6: Pour the golden resin mixture into the star silicone mold. Keep a small amount of this mixture to be used for the bookmarks in Step 11.

Note: These stars will be added later on to the tops of the bookmarks. This helps keep the bookmarks in place when they are in use. Make the stars as thick as you prefer but not less than 5 mm. 

Step 7: Pour a small amount of the clear glittery mixture at the middle section of the bookmarks silicone mold. See picture below or video tutorial for guidance. Do not use all of the mixture.

Step 8: To the clear glittery resin mixture add blue alcohol ink and mix well. Make sure that the pigment has been thoroughly and evenly distributed into the resin to avoid curing issues.

Step 9: Add gold hollow star confetti onto the clear resin.

Step 10: Pour the blue resin mixture into the silicone mold. See pictures below or video tutorial for guidance on how to pour the blue resin mixture to get results shown.

Step 11: Pour tiny amounts of the golden resin mixture to the bookmarks mold.

Step 12: Wait for the resin to cure.

Step 13: When the resin has fully cured, de-mold the stars and bookmarks from the silicone molds.

Step 14: Prepare and mix some epoxy resin as per manufacturer's instructions.

Step 15: Pour a tiny amount of resin at one end of each bookmark and then place one star on each bookmark, pressing the star gently to secure it in place.

Step 16: Wait for the resin to cure.
