  • Treasure Chest Lid: 20-25mL
  • 2 Lid Side Pieces: 4mLx2
  • Other accessory pieces: <5mL total

80mL total will make 1 complete chest.

Instructions:

Casting: Pour resin in each part on both molds. For the lid- pour slowly in the opening (circled). Wait for the resin to settle & even out, reaching the top on both sides. Follow your resin's curing instructions before unmolding.

Unmolding

  • Lid: Use a popsicle stick in the opening to carefully peel the resin piece from the silicone. Then, roll the mold down a bit so you can grab the piece and rotate it out of the mold.
  • Base: Fold the mold down around the piece. At the bottom, gently pull the inside silicone from the piece.
  • The other pieces will demold easily.

Hinge assembly: Place 2 hinge pieces with rod through both as seen below. Make two of these sets. Hold the chest lid so the slots match with the chest base. On the base- glue one hinge from both sets on each slot . Be careful not to glue the hinges together! Wait for this to set. Then, glue the second hinge from each set onto the lid slots.

Sides for lid: Glue the side piece in place. Try to leave as little gap between the base and lid as possible when the chest is closed.

"Lock": Add the flat piece to the middle, bottom ridge of the lid. Align the u-shape on the middle, top of the base so that they close together.
