Can You Add Colour or Glitter to a Resin Memory Box Kit?

← Back to How much does the liquid resin kit cost?

Personalising your resin memory box is a wonderful way to showcase your style. You can easily enhance your creation by adding colour or glitter to the resin during casting, making each box truly unique.

Compatible Pigments and Glitters

Epoxy resins designed for memory boxes, such as those found in the Resin Memory Box Complete Epoxy Resin Kit, are generally compatible with a broad range of pigments and glitters. Always opt for epoxy-safe options: mica powders, specialist resin liquid dyes, or fine cosmetic or craft-grade glitters. Avoid using water-based or non-epoxy pigments, as they might affect the clarity or curing of your cast.

How to Colour Your Resin Safely

Add pigment slowly to your mixed resin to reach your desired hue, mixing thoroughly to prevent streaks and undissolved particles. For glitter, sprinkle it in and stir gently to ensure even distribution. Test with small batches at first if you’re unsure how the colours or glitters will settle or look in the finished piece. Always measure carefully and work on a clean surface to avoid contamination.

When Creative Touches Matter

Adding colour or glimmer truly shines when you’re commemorating special moments—like preserving a wedding bouquet or memory flowers. A subtle swirl of pigment or sparkle can highlight your flowers and make your keepsake stand out, turning a thoughtful gift into something even more personal.
