FAQs

What types of items can I buy at the dollar store to make a rolling tray?

Some good options are plastic trays, faux glassware, decorative tiles, and ceramic plates. Look for items with smooth, rigid surfaces that can withstand liquid resin.

How do I make the dollar store items smell resistant?

Apply a sealant like polyurethane or enamel spray paint. Allow pieces to fully dry between coats, applying 2-3 layers for optimal odor blocking.

What if I'm new to resin art? Where do I start?

We recommend watching YouTube tutorials to familiarize yourself with resin mixing ratios, pouring techniques, how to pop air bubbles, etc. Start with small test pieces before tackling a whole tray.

Can this project be done with kids?

Supervise closely if doing a project with children. Resins & sealants require caution. Consider kid-friendly clay, stickers, glitter glue as safer decorating options instead.

How long do these homemade rolling trays last?

It depends on materials used and frequency of use, but they can potentially last for years if properly sealed and handled with care. Touch up sealants if they start wearing over time.
