Creating a Metal object Dupe
As far as dupes go it was quite easy to make, I am sure you can do it :)
- Mix Resin
- Pour into tube
- When you can feel it is set and malleable cut the tube and remove the resin piece
- Mold or fold resin around an object and clamp in place, leave to cure till resin is set in place
- Spay resin to give a base colour
- Add gold leaf or spray with gold paint
- Spray with a clear sealant coat

West Elm Dupe, Metal Object.
I came across this when I was scrolling through West Elm's adorable home decor range, I loved it immediately, for many reasons... it's so shiny, its lines are clear and precise, and the most exciting thing to me was I knew how I could make it. I have been a lover of resin for over 10 years I mainly use it in my art as a finishing coat or a medium, but this took me down another road, as I had done something similar a couple of years ago as an installation in a gallery.
