These include resin molds (with a link provided in the description), hair clips (often included with the molds), various glitters (some from Michaels and Dollar Tree), mini cups, stir sticks, and casting resin. The creator uses a 1:1 ratio for mixing the resin parts A and B, recommending precise measurement for those new to using resin.
Creating the Resin Hair Clip Design [1:41]
The process of creating the resin hair clip design involves pouring resin into the mold and adding glitter for decoration. The creator demonstrates mixing glitter from Dollar Tree into the resin and pouring it into the mold, starting with a small amount to allow it to spread. Additional elements like beads can be added and moved around with a stir stick while the resin is still fresh. The mold is then left to dry for approximately 24 hours.
Demolding and Attaching the Clip [2:46]
After 24 hours, the cured resin piece is removed from the mold, which should be easy due to the hardened resin. The creator then uses a hot glue gun to apply glue to the hair clip and attaches the resin design to the clip, applying pressure to ensure it adheres properly. The process is repeated for any additional clips.
