Resin~ate the Love by making this adorable "Dads and Boys, Have the Same Toys" Father's Day Picture frame.
Start with a Dollar Store frame and toy truck.
Because I am such a lazy crafter, I decided to try to mold both sides of the truck at once with some Amazing Mold Putty. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation.
Came out pretty good, if I do say so myself!
I brushed the inside of the mold with Deep Red Alumidust.
Just about everything I cast I start by mixing in some black Alumilite Dye into the Amazing Casting Resin. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation.
I love how they turned out! I added some silver Rub 'n Buff® for extra roughness!
I used an Etsy purchased compass mold to cast another embellishment.
I need something else that kind of represented the truck. My first attempt was to make tread marks but the wheels on this truck were smooth, so that was a bust. My next idea was to use my hubby's truck key, but that had a giant fob on it that looked rather blah... so I settled on just an ol' generic key.
Not bad! The resin key looks almost as good as the real one! I actually walked out of my craft room and asked hubby if this could turn a lock. He doubted it, but I am not so sure!

Pieces being glued in place. I couldn't help to add my bestie's beautiful baby to the frame. And since we are in Louisiana, the ever present Fleur de Lis was added too.
