My original post wasn’t enough as I have more Christmas decorations to share! See part 1 here.

From the mould set I bought for part 1 there was one mould I had a few issues with. I tried several ways of pouring and even brushing on mica into the mould but when demoulding it snapped or looked terrible! I gave up for a while but tried again and used two very shallow layers of resin in gold then a silvery white to create a silhouette in gold and attempting a snowy background.
It’s a bit of a fiddly mould and I needed to use a pipette to be able to keep it neat and the second layer in particular was very thin as the mould is not very deep. I am happy with the way this one came out though. When I demoulded this was the result.

This next Christmas decoration mould was this snowflake bauble. I bought this separately from Resin8 but I think the same one comes in this set along with the moulds I used in Part 1.
To make the snowflake stand out I poured a thin layer of glittery red just up to the height of the snowflake inside the mould. After this had cured I filled the mould up with silvery white to make this colour come through the snowflake and the top of the bauble shape.

I also tried a different technique with black and gold fine glitter. Instead of doing layers I filled the whole mould with black fine glitter mixed with clear resin along with a very small amount of gold glitter. When this had cured I filled in the front snowflake area with a gold glitter mix. I don’t think this technique gives as much definition to the snowflake as the other one but I still like the overall effect.

I also wanted to try something a bit different and in the end I tried out this mould to make a free standing Xmas sign.
This took quite a bit of resin but I mixed some different epoxy gold and black glitters into this one with a bit of red mica for the Santa hat with a bit of silver for the bobble.
I filled it to about half and after this had cured filled the rest of the mould with clear resin.

I think this is it for resin Christmas decorations for this year but look out for some resin Christmas gift ideas coming soon.
Turned out nicely especially red glitter snowflake

Thanks the red is my favourite! It sparkles beautifully in the light too.
