How To Make a Candy Resin Tray

So after ‪@ArtsyMadwoman‬ inspired me (as she ALWAYS does) with her candy resin piece video (I linked hers down below), I knew I had to try to make a candy resin tray myself!! It came out better than expected! I will probably have to hide this tray from my daughter haha!!
Stay tuned for more resin experiments!!

so awesome!

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

What a great idea!

[@donnamay1150]

Very cool!

[@CreativelyErica]

Thank you! 😊

[@johnsonsfamilyof4]

Beautiful 🥰

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks love!

[@katherinecastillo3621]

That is very cool. How do you restore the shine once you sand it?

[@CreativelyErica]

I just do a thin top coat 🙂

[@mam07643]

What do you use the tray for? Can you put food on it?

[@marymiller5431]

What type spray to use spray over the candy tray

[@craftingcaboodles2142]

Are you worried about the candy changing colors over time?

[@edgegymnastics8409]

It would deteriorate over time because she didn’t spray the candy with protectant first

[@kellycottrell9707]

Did you have to add a layer to the back to cover any pieces of candy that wasn't encased by resin???

[@CreativelyErica]

I was worried about that too but surprisingly, I didn't need to. I think because I did a decent layer on the bottom and was careful to not push down the candy to the very bottom.

[@NB-ho2tk]

If I don’t have a heat gun , could I use a blow dryer ? If so what setting ?

[@CreativelyErica]

If it gets hot enough to pop the bubbles, sure. I would do as hot as it can go but on low.

[@glorfindelchocolateflowery6392]

Is it food safe?

[@lindylopez9865]

Where did you get your mold?

[@CreativelyErica]

Link is in video description 🥰

[@DigitalBuddies31]

After the first layer why couldn’t you just fill it all the way up. Why 3 layers?

[@CreativelyErica]

I mean you technically could, it just might take a lot longer to cure, or it might not cure evenly, or bubbles might get trapped if the layer is thicker. I like to do small layers with resin to ensure it cures all the way through with no issues. For me it's just a "rather be safe, than sorry" kinda thing after having issues in the past pouring thicker layers.

[@terryw5500]

How much would you charge for this

[@jennacricket8421]

But I watched other videos and 5 years later. It faded.

[@CreativelyErica]

I'll definitely have to do an update video with all my resin pieces to see how they look few years from now.

[@evelenaerts7690]

but resin is so expensive

[@user-hz7ze9qv4j]

I HAVE NO VOLUME SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH TIME YOU LET IT SET
