Crafting is fun. If that wasn’t enough there is also evidence that crafting can boost your mood and improve self-confidence. (Note to self — ask personal physician for a prescription to justify all the time I put into being a resin artist.) But maybe making what everyone else is making isn’t your thing — nor should it be. Let me introduce you to resin. It’s an easy way to make unique crafts, either for yourself or gifts. Here are some easy resin crafts you can make this weekend.
Paperweight
Resin paperweights are fun and easy to make. Plus, they make great gifts by adding personal mementos or other trinkets that mean something to the recipient. You can include ticket stubs, small charms, stickers, notes and more. Here’s one of my favorite resin paperweight projects: Resin paperweight DIY
Drawer Pulls
Cured resin is hard and durable, which makes it a great base for knob pulls. Color it with resin colors to make it unique, then finish your crafts with knob hardware to install. Here’s how I made these drawer pulls: How to make resin charms

Start with a purchased tray and the rest only requires resin and your imagination. Learn more: resin tray DIY
