Thanks for checking out my video today. This is hopefully the first of a 3rd weekly/biweekly video alongside my regular Saturday tutorials and their Wednesday EXTRAS.
I had a lot of fun today testing out all these #household items to see what would and wouldn’t #color #resin; my ‘wins’ and ‘bins’. I hope you found it fun and interesting and maybe even useful if you’re in short supply of ‘official’ resin #pigments. Lots of these items worked really well, surprisingly well actually, and I’ve even added some of these items to my supply cupboard!
I think my favorite discovery was the white #acrylic #paint. I’m not kidding when I say that for me this seemed to work better than actual resin pigment. I’m pretty sure it’s what I’ll be using for all my beachy pieces in the future.
Some of the items from the kitchen that were ‘bins’ still looked pretty cool like the #coffee and #paprika and even though they didn’t work in terms of #coloring the resin, they still provided #fun effects. Unfortunately all the white options were total fails, although the #toothpaste very nearly worked.
But I think it was clear that, aside from acrylic #paints, the items that were originally designed to color other things such as #hair and skin worked the best in the resin. I’m so glad I finally tried these out!
Let me know what you thought of my testing and which was your favorite or most surprising result.

I’m very excited to be bringing out more weekly content for your guys and hope you enjoy what’s to come. I’m also going to be adding in more ‘crafty’ elements going forward and not solely focussing on resin.
I love resin and won’t be leaving it behind but I also miss working with other mediums too so will be bringing them back in over the next few weeks.
Thanks again so much for watching and, as always, drop any comments or questions down below and I’ll be sure to get back to you.
