I loved the Resin Paper Weight Mark James created a couple months ago, that I wanted to give it a try with some glitter added
I gathered some glass marbles, a coaster mold, and EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy.
I measured out equal amounts of the EasyCast Resin and Hardener
I mixed them together for 2 minutes, then poured them into a new cup and mixed for another minute.
I sprayed the inside of the mold with Castin Craft Mold Release.
I added some Iridescent Ultra Fine Glitter.
I filled the mold half way with the resin mixture.
I decided to only add green marbles and I places them into the bottom and along the sides of the mold, then I put it aside for 12 hours.
I then mixed more EasyCast, this time adding a couple drops of translucent...
and I added a bit more glitter...
and poured the resin mixture into the mold.
I let this dry for 24 hours and removed it from the mold.
I love how the paper weight turned out!

Wow that a great idea! I may have to make one...
