How To Make A Gold Geode Resin Art

Supplies Needed

Resin mixing cups and spatulas

Metallic gold paint

Chunky gold fireglass

Quartz crystals

Glitter for resin

Respirator & gloves for protection

Step 1

Gather all of your supplies so that everything is ready to be used. Make sure you are using the proper safety equipment for using resin, like a resin mask and gloves.

You can see that there are many things that I used to make this geode below and I had everything ready to go.

I like to do my resin projects on a large table that is covered with either a plastic sheet or a large cardboard sheet from the dollar store.

Step 2

Take the artist board and draw the shape of a geode. I used a pencil for this and just drew it right onto the board.

Step 3

Cut out the shape very carefully using the exacto knife. The artist board can be tricky to cut so make sure you are being very careful.

Step 4

With white gesso, cover the whole board. You will want it to be thin enough so that it dries quickly, but not too thick.

There's going to be lines that are drawn into the gesso so you will want to be able to see them.

Step 5

With a craft stick, draw lines into the wet gesso and then let it completely dry before moving on to the next step.

Step 6

Take your craft concrete and go over the outside and inside of the geode. Lay it down nice a thick so that when you pour the resin, it will stay inside these borders.

Step 7

When the concrete is completely set up and dried, take your metallic gold paint and paint over the concrete.

Step 8

While the paint is still wet, you can now go ahead and start to add the crystals and fireglass pieces. Or use whatever you have on hand to create the chunky part of the geode.

If you find that the pieces are not sticking properly, wait until the paint is dry and then apply them with a tiny bit of hot glue.

Step 9

Now it's time to mix the resin. I'm using a respirator for this part. I always make sure my lungs are protected from glitter and epoxy resin.

Never use resin without the proper safety equipment.

Also, keep in mind that any project that we do with resin is for adults only.

So mix a large batch of the resin and then separate them into a few different smaller cups. Then you can mix your resin colors in to the small cups.

Step 10

Start to pour the colored resin starting from the center and working your way out with different colors and layering. This is the fun part! There's so many different designs to play with.
