How I Turned a Cheap Box Into a Stunning Resin Gift

Transforming simple, inexpensive items into something unique is one of the most rewarding parts of working with resin. In this video, I show how a cheap box can be turned into a stunning, personalised gift using careful preparation, decorative techniques, and resin finishing methods. This includes a useful technique to allow deeper resin pours on lids without overflow, along with the steps needed to achieve a smooth, professional final result.
