How-To: Easy ResinCrete Skull Casting – Add Colour, Sparkles & More!
Yesterday I mixed up a batch of ResinCrete and cast this cool two-tone skull – and I’m hooked! It’s way less smelly than traditional epoxy resin, sets fast, and you can customize it with colours, glitter, marbles, or anything else you want to embed. Perfect for beginners!
What You’ll Need: ResinCrete powder & water (follow package ratios)
Silicone skull mold (or any shape you like)
Liquid or powder pigments for colour
Glitter/sparkles
Small marbles or trinkets (for future projects)
Mixing cup, stir stick, and gloves
How to Pour ResinCrete – Step by Step
Prep your mold: Lightly spray with mold release if needed and set it level.
Mix the ResinCrete: Combine powder and water exactly as directed until smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
Add colour & sparkle: Stir in pigment until you love the shade, then swirl in glitter. For layered looks like mine, mix two batches (light blue top, white bottom).
Pour slowly: Fill the mold, tapping gently on the table to release air bubbles.
Add embeds (optional): Drop in marbles or small objects now – they’ll stay suspended as it hardens.
Cure: Let it sit undisturbed for 1-2 hours (full strength in 24 hours). Demold and admire!
ResinCrete is forgiving, low-odour, and beginner-friendly. Next I’m trying an epoxy resin skull with deep red tint, hidden marbles inside, and tons of extra sparkles for that wow factor.
This technique works for coasters, garden statues, or jewellery too – endless possibilities! Have you tried ResinCrete yet? Drop your creations in the comments – I’d love to see them!
