Resin is extremely sticky and is hard to remove from clothing and skin. You’ll definitely want to at the very least, wear gloves when working with resin! Those who are more sensitive to chemicals should also consider wearing a respirator (use vapor cartridges) or a mask to lessen the effects of coming in contact with resin. Personally, I wear a respirator, gloves, and long sleeves and pants to prevent my skin from coming into contact with resin. I also work in a well-ventilated room with good airflow. It’s possible to have an allergic reaction to epoxy. If at any point you experience itching or swelling, discontinue using epoxy resin. I use the 3M 7500 Series Mask with the 3M 60926 Pink Vapor Filter Cartridges. Resin is currently ALL the rage! I couldn’t help but jump on this fun trend after seeing it popping up everywhere. -How to Make Epoxy Resin Barrette Hair Clips or Earrings- Resin can look overwhelming to work with, but don’t worry, I’ll share all of my tips and tricks to get you started and creating like a pro! Begin by warming your resin in hot water. This helps to raise the temperature of the resin allowing it to mix more easily and also decrease the number of bubbles that form during the mixing process. I usually let me resin warm for about 10-20 minutes while I prep my table with a plastic covering, organize my supplies, and get my molds ready. Remove the resin and resin hardener from the hot water bath and dry the bottles completely. you don’t want to accidentally incorporate any water into the resin as you are pouring it.

Has it been forever since you printed off photos!?! Thanks to Mixbook, I can create beautiful photo memory books at the touch of a button. I’m not even joking, it’s so EASY that my girls helped me make this book. And by “MAKE” I mean we selected our favorite family photos from the past year and Mixbook automatically placed them in our book for us.   The best part? I don’t have to live with mom guilt about not scrapbooking their every waking moment because my kids are obsessed with our new photos books. And I just love reminiscing on our favorite family memories over and over!   You can use the code SRP50 to take 50% off of your first Mixbook photo book. (Expires 7/31/2020) Click here: https://bit.ly/3fFo5s9 P.S. they even have baby templates, so you can finally make that book you’ve been putting off. 🤣 Full disclosure…I just made three.  #mixbook

EASY How to SEW a LINED Zipper POUCH Beginner Project Sweet Red Poppy Learn to sew an adorable zipper pouch with this video tutorial! Sewing Machine: https://bit.ly/34RA94k Quilting Cotton: https://bit.ly/3eC9Rrc Rotary Cutter: https://bit.ly/3aqcIjV Cutting Mat: https://bit.ly/3eCa1Pk Iron: https://bit.ly/2KhpuGR Zippers: https://amzn.to/2ywM8bm CUTTING CHART OUTSIDE FABRIC: 11" x 8" LINING FABRIC: 11" x 7" ZIPPER: 12" With right sides together, sew the top of the lining and the top of the exterior fabric together using a 3/8th’s inch seam allowance. Backstitch at the beginning and the end. Press the seam towards the lining and turn the fabric right side out. Repeat with the other side. Lay one of the fabrics with the main print facing upwards. Lay the zipper on top of the seam and pin in place. With the zipper open, sew the left side of the zipper to the left side of the pouch, using a zipper foot. If this step is tricky for you, be sure to use plenty of pins and go slowly. Once the first side is sewn, zip the zipper back up and pin the other side. This will help you to align each side perfectly. Unzip the zipper and sew along the zipper. Once you reach the zipper, backstitch and lift the presser foot. Zip the zipper to the top and begin stitching again until you reach the end. Align the exterior pieces of fabrics with right sides together and repeat with the lining fabrics. Make sure to leave the zipper open before you begin sewing! Carefully align all seams together before sewing. You may need to hand-crank the sewing machine to get it over the zipper. Pin well and stitch (5/8th’s inch seam allowance) along all four sides leaving a 3-inch hole for turning along the bottom of the lining. Trim back the seam allowance around the entire bag, especially the corners. This will eliminate any excess bulk. Gently pull the bag through the small hole. Push the corners out using a turning tool. Sew the opening closed by stitching close to the edge. Push the lining back into the bag and press.
