#Cre8time Transformations... AMAZING Copper Resin Finish by Tanya Ruffin

When I wanted to paint a piece of MDF that I had used in a previous studio space to look like copper, I never imagined how great it would turn out!

I learned a trick a long time ago that to make copper really pop you should paint your base a rust color. It took just 3 steps to achieve this great metallic finish!

Step 1. Paint surface a rust color.

Step 2. Mix your entire box of Amazing Clear Cast Resin and add a little (I used the end of a craft stick to dip) Alumilite Copper Metallic Powder. A little goes a LONG way!

Step 3. Make sure your surface is completely dry and you don't have any wet spots from cleaning. Tape off the edge of your surface and pour. You can use a foam brush or an old credit card to smooth it out.

Allow it to cure overnight. You may have some spots you need to even out later but it really does give it character. I used a file from the dollar store to clean up the edges.

And then... TADA!

The little touch up spots (see the circle above) looks awesome!

You can make your counter any color you want using the powders!

I love it!

What would you give a metallic finish?

#Cre8time Play can be Sticky and Sweet... AMAZING Inspiration from Aimée Wheaton

Hi guys, Aimée here with a simple little project anyone can do. :) So my mission that I chose to accept was to play with the new Amazing Remelt, I have to admit I was a bit intimidated at first but soon discovered it was easy peasy! This product is great if you love to work with small items with resin or if you like to be creative in the kitchen because it is food safe and non toxic. It melts right in your microwave and pours really easy when melted into your molds.

My idea was completely different than what is in the photograph above, it always happens that way right? Originally I thought it would be awesome to mold candy canes and then use melted chocolate in the molds, um no. Don't try that because they broke into a gazillion pieces and I had to figure out something different to create.

I thought it was a good idea and gave it a try, live and learn right? I hot glued them down to my tupperware container so they wouldn't start swimming in the Amazing Remelt. Please CLICK HERE to view how this fun molding product works.

Remember the other letters I made from the Sculpey clay last project? Molded them! They turned out to be my focus for this one. These were also hot glued down to prevent swimming.

They made such a clean mold, but the candy canes didn't and I found that they were disintegrating in the warm Amazing Remelt and made very choppy spaces in the mold. The good thing is I can remelt it and reuse it. :) I bet if you're the Betty Crocker/Martha Stewart type you could do wonders in the kitchen with this amazing product! I on the other hand am not like either of those women! LOL!

The Love letters were super good to me and I followed through with the melted chocolate idea.

Here is what I used:

Not the prettiest in the mold.

Glitter makes everything better!

You have to work fast because they were melting in my hands!

Bring on the white Oreos and add more glitter! Ever notice how pretty the relief designs are on them?Add the chocolate on top and they make for a pretty dessert for a holiday party.
