Left with extra resin after pouring your vase? It can be put to good use with a bit of creativity and the right approach to safety and sustainability.
Creative Uses for Leftover Resin
Unused resin from vase casting can be saved from waste by pouring it into small silicone moulds. Try making coasters, pendants, fridge magnets, or even miniature decorations for your home. Adding pigments or mica powders before pouring creates eye-catching effects for these smaller items. Mini-mould projects are ideal for testing out colour blends, especially if you’re using kits like the Flower Vase Resin Art Kit that includes a variety of pigments.
How to Dispose of Leftover Resin Safely
If you can’t use the extra resin, it’s essential to cure it fully before disposal. Pour the remaining resin into a disposable cup or mould, allow it to harden completely, then follow your local guidance for throwing away solid waste. Never pour uncured resin down sinks or drains, as this can harm the environment.
When This Matters Most
Making the most of leftover resin is especially important if you work on small projects or frequently cast decorative items. It saves money and minimises wastage, while offering a chance to experiment with colour combinations or test moulds for larger pieces in the future.
