Shaker Resin Charms




Recently, I've been having fun making resin shaker charms.  It was easy because all the supplies needed (except the resin) came in a kit.  I purchased these kits from Japan and HM Ben Franklin Crafts.  Although the instructions for the charms are written in Japanese, it wasn't difficult to use an app (Google Translate) to decifer the words into English.  I was quite impressed with the cleverness of these kits to use resin to construct little pockets to hold the confetti, forming shaker elements.


Some of the kits make two charms and I printed acetate film with the designs so that I could later make multiple charms using the reuseable resin molds.  There are many shaker charm kits available and I am eager to try more as the end products are so pleasing.  You should try making a shaker charm if you can acquire a kit, UV resin and a UV-LED light (sorry not in photo).  I know you'll have fun and will enjoy shaking your charm as it hangs from a favorite handbag.
