Oh, dear! Cracks and holes in resin can be a bit tricky, but with a little patience and a touch of magical know-how, they can be mended.
Steps to Fix Resin Cracks
Clean the Crack
Start by cleaning the crack with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure it's free from any debris or dust that might prevent a seamless repair.
Prepare the Resin
Mix a small batch of resin according to the manufacturer's instructions. If coloring is required, add pigments now.
Apply the Resin
Carefully apply the resin into the crack using a small tool or toothpick, ensuring it's filled completely.
Remove Air Bubbles
Use a heat gun or torch lightly over the surface to eliminate any air bubbles trapped in the resin.
Cure and Sand
Let the resin cure completely. Once cured, sand the area gently to smooth it out and blend with the rest of the surface.
Polish
Polish the repaired area to restore shine and blending the patch with the remaining piece.
Steps to Fix Resin Holes
Clean the Surface
Begin by cleaning the area around the hole with isopropyl alcohol.
Prepare a Mold or Seal
If needed, create a mold or dam around the hole using tape or a mold putty to prevent resin spillage.
Mix and Fill
Mix resin and carefully fill the hole completely. Use pigments if color matching is necessary.
De-bubble and Cure
Use a heat gun to remove bubbles and allow the resin to cure fully.
Finish
Sand and polish the area to ensure the repair has been properly blended into the original piece.
With these steps, your resin masterpiece will be as good as new! Remember, practice makes perfect. 🪄

Creating an iris fold outline on card from an image involves a blend of design and precision. Here's a streamlined approach to help you cut with clarity.
1. Image Preparation
Select your image and make sure it's suitable for vectorizing. High-contrast images with clear lines work best. Use a tool like Creative Fabrica's Vectorizer to convert your image into an SVG file.
2. Editable Design
Once your image is vectorized, use design software to simplify the lines, if necessary. Separate the outline part of the image that you want to cut.
3. Craft Cutting
Load the SVG into a cutting machine if you have one, or print it at the desired size for manual cutting. For a machine like a Cricut or Silhouette, ensure the lines are set to 'cut'. For manual cutting, use a craft knife and cutting mat to carefully follow the outline.
4. Iris Fold Template
Position your template over the cut-out and start placing your folded strips according to your pattern. Secure as needed with tape or glue from the reverse side.
With these steps, creating a beautiful iris folded card becomes a slice of creativity! Enjoy crafting your unique design! ✂️✨
