New Project Idea for Christmas - 3D "Button Tree" Tutorial
I started on a new project this week - resin trees, (I know its a tad early for Christmas) but I thought these may be good for the sewing crafters amongst you or for your friends - something different to hang on the tree!!
1st Stage - pouring the resin into the tree and star molds, then filling with miniature buttons and silver tone sewing charms.
2nd Stage - Just taken the 3D tree out of it's mold, looks good so far. I have had to put a thin coat of resin on one side as the mold tends to come out opaque looking on the side that you pour the resin onto. A bit fiddly to do but I'm sure it will be worth it, I have lots of ideas for these little trees!!
3rd Stage - Finished "Button Tree" pleased with how my first attempt came out. I think I will use solid colours next time, as you can see the back of the charms when you look from the other side and they are not all double sided charms. I'm going to try a "Make a Wish Tree" next and put the charms on the outside of the tree rather than embed them in the resin.
