Epoxy Ideas for Layouts

Design by Lori Bergmann

Using epoxy product and a basic pouring technique, I crafted two types of accents to coordinate with the watery theme of my layout.

Tips

House a photo. Adhere an accent photo to the back of a metal frame and cover it with a thick layer of epoxy that will dome as it dries.

Create custom tints. I tinted a batch of epoxy with a few drops of transparent dye and poured it onto waxed paper to create free-form "puddles" that easily peel off the waxed paper once they're dry.
