A simple pictorial explainer. Work in progress...
Supplies
Gather together the supplies. If you use the links to Amazon, I get a small commission. I will only link to products I have used:
Resin. I've used the resin from Walmart and it works fine. This is the resin I am currently using.
Silicon mold. I use the ones from Walmart. You can also use shells, jar lids, mint tins...
Stuff: holy cards, magazines, junk mail, old Magnificats, shells, beads, dried flowers, broken rosaries, metals, trinkets, Christmas cards...etc!

Self-explanatory, but do extras in case you have extra resin to use up.

Measure

Make sure to follow the directions on resin. It is typically a 50/50 mix. It matters to get it right. Ask me how I know. WEAR GLOVES.
Stir

Make sure to stir for the required amount of time. It matters. Ask me how I know.

Try to cover as much as the mold as possible.

Add your main images and text and pour more resin.
Babysitting
Babysitting
Unless you use a gluegun to keep everything in place, things like text and glitter will try to float around. Use a skewer or toothpick to put back in place. I do this while I am cleaning up. After about 30 minutes, the resin has hardened enough.
