What You’ll Need

Before we start, make sure you have the following materials and tools:

1. Clayzy Fun Mini Plate Silicone Molds (includes three unique designs).
2. UV resin or epoxy resin (choose clear or colored resin depending on your design preference).
3. UV lamp (recommended for quick curing) or ample sunlight for curing.

1. Optional: Resin pigments, glitter, dried flowers, or other decorative elements to personalize your plates.
2. Mixing tools such as disposable popsicle sticks (for stirring resin and removing bubbles).
3. Disposable gloves to protect your hands.
4. Disposable mixing containers for combining resin and decorative elements.
5. A flat, clean, and well-ventilated workspace to ensure a smooth crafting experience.

Step-by-Step Process to Make Mini Plates

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up a flat and clean surface where you can work comfortably. Ensure the space is well-ventilated and free of dust to avoid contamination of your resin project.

Step 2: Mix the Resin

1. Wear disposable gloves to protect your hands.
2. Measure out the required amount of UV resin or epoxy resin into a mixing container.
3. If desired, add resin pigments, glitter, dried flowers, or other decorative elements to customize your plates. Stir thoroughly with a popsicle stick until the mixture is even.

Step 3: Fill the Mold

1. Carefully pour a small amount of resin into the bottom of your Clayzy Fun Mini Plate Silicone Mold.
2. Use a popsicle stick to spread the resin evenly, ensuring the entire surface of the mold is covered.
3. Tap the mold gently to remove any trapped air bubbles. For stubborn bubbles, use a toothpick or lightly heat the resin surface to pop them.

Step 4: Cure the Resin

1. Place the filled mold under a UV lamp for 2-4 minutes. A UV lamp ensures quick curing and prevents dust from settling on the resin.
2. If using sunlight, ensure the mold is in a clean and sunny location. Note that curing with sunlight may take longer (around 20-30 minutes).

Step 5: Demold Your Mini Plates

Once the resin is fully cured, gently flex the silicone mold to release your miniature plates. Be careful not to damage the mold for future use.
