Resin is a versatile material that can be used to create beautiful and unique pieces of art. One popular application of resin is to use it to coat or decorate a purse. If you're interested in learning how to resin a purse, follow these simple steps:

Materials you'll need:

Epoxy resin

Mixing cups and stir sticks

Disposable gloves

A well-ventilated workspace

A heat gun or torch

Purse silicone resin molds

Metal hardwaves

Purse chain

PVC Cloth

Optional: pigments, glitter, or other decorative elements

Step 1: Prepare your workspace

Make sure you're working in a well-ventilated area and wear disposable gloves to protect your hands from the resin. Place your purse resin mold on a flat surface and cover it with a protective layer, such as a plastic sheet or newspaper.

Step 2: Mix the resin

Follow the instructions on your epoxy resin kit to mix the resin and hardener in a mixing cup. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until it's well-blended.

Step 3: Add pigments and glitter (optional)

If you want to add color or sparkle to your resin, you can mix in pigments or glitter at this point. Use a small amount of pigment or glitter and mix it into the resin until it's evenly distributed.

Step 4: Fill up the molds ,make 2 pieces of your purse

Use a stir stick to apply the resin to your molds. Start by applying a thin layer of resin, spreading it evenly over the surface of the purse mold. Use the stir stick to smooth out any lumps or bumps in the resin.Resin 2 times to make 2 pieces if you have only 1 purse mold.

Step 5: Cure the resin

Allow the first layer of resin to cure for about 12 hours. Once it's hardened, you can apply a second layer of resin if desired. Repeat the process of mixing and applying the resin, making sure to spread it evenly over the surface of the purse.

Step 6: Apply UV resin along the gap of the metal frame

After the resin has cured, use a heat gun or torch to remove any bubbles that may have formed during the curing process.

Then you can attach the purse chain and done.Use only AB Epoxy Soft resin if you want to make a flexible bag. Or a Hard type AB resin if you want a more sturdy bag.
