I think I first saw these on Martha Stewart's website, as soon as I saw them I really wanted to try them...but was a little nervous about using resin. After much research on the internet, I felt confident enough to use it, being a nurse was handy as I was able to have access to gloves/protective eye wear/ measuring cups. Everything I used was disposable because you cant wash anything in the sink unless you want it clogged!
So after collecting lots of bottle caps, I looked through magazines to find some cool pictures, then I sealed the pictures with white glue so the resin wouldn't sink though and ruin them. The resin is pretty easy to use once I worked it all out. I learnt the hard way I have to let them dry in a box or something with a lid so little bits of dust don't set on the surface. I also have made a few brooches, which turned out pretty cute, I'll blog about them another day!
