Neon Rainbow Resin Tic-Tac-Toe Set

Use resin and vibrant pigments to create your own Neon Rainbow Tic-Tac-Toe Game Set!


Neon Rainbow Resin Tic-Tac-Toe Set

There are so many ways to use resin, and I'm loving this latest creation! Made using resin, neon mica powders, and glitter this custom Tic-Tac-Toe game set is a simple project to make and is a great gift idea. I had a lot of fun making this set, and have been so excited to share it with you. Resin crafters of any skill level can confidently create a tic-tac-toe game set like this one, and kids of any age will have hours of fun playing this classic game!

To make your own Neon Rainbow Resin Tic-Tac-Toe Set, you will need these supplies:


*Save 10% on Polytek resin supplies when you shop with code AFM

SAFETY FIRST: Before getting started, wear disposable glovesprotect your workspace, and be sure to work in a well-ventilated area!

Prepare 1 oz of Amazing Clear Cast epoxy according to package directions. Pour in equal parts of resin and hardener to a large mixing cup. Slowly stir the resin together with a stir stick for two minutes or until combined. If the resin looks cloudy or has any streaks running through it, you need to keep stirring it until it becomes clear.

Add a generous amount of black holographic glitter to the resin and stir with a clean stir stick until evenly incorporated. Give the resin a few minutes to "rest" and allow the bubbles to rise to the top.

Slowly pour the resin into just the border of the tic-tac-toe board mold, but do NOT cover any of the squares! Next, fill all of the game piece molds to the top. Be careful to not over-fill! Let the resin sit for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to rise to the top. Use a straw, heat gun, or spritz with 91% alcohol to remove any surface bubbles.

Leave the resin pieces to cure in an undisturbed, well ventilated area for 24 hours. You will know that the resin is cured when it is no longer tacky to the touch and easily pulls away from the edges of the molds.

Prepare 25ml of Amazing Clear Cast epoxy according to package directions. Pour in equal parts of resin and hardener to a large mixing cup. Slowly stir the resin together with a stir stick for two minutes or until combined. If the resin looks cloudy or has any streaks running through it, you need to keep stirring it until it becomes clear. Add in a generous amount of white iridescent glitter if you want some extra sparkle.

Split the resin equally into 5 smaller mixing cups. Add a little bit of pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple neon mica powders into each cup and mix until completely combined.

Use the stir sticks to add lines of neon resin across the tic-tac-toe board mold. I poured my resins in a diagonal line, starting with pink in the center and then adding the other colors, one at a time, in rainbow order.

Let the resin sit for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to rise to the top. Use a straw, heat gun, or spritz with 91% alcohol to remove any surface bubbles.

Leave the resin to cure in an undisturbed, well ventilated area for at least 12 hours. You will know that the resin is cured when it is no longer tacky to the touch and easily pulls away from the edges of the molds.

Now, for my favorite part of the resin process - demolding! Removing a piece from the mold is so exciting!! Carefully remove the cured board and game pieces from the molds. Trim away any excess resin with scissors or a craft knife. Sand down edges, if necessary, and bring back the shine with clear spray sealant.

If the resin still feels flexible, it may just need more time to cure. Let the pieces sit in a warm, flat area to cure for a few hours (or days) to completely harden.
