How to Make Resin Dominoes (Step-by-Step Overview for Beginners)
Create custom resin dominoes at home with this easy, beginner-friendly guide.
Are you ready to dive into your next creative project? Resin dominoesare a fun and functional way to explore resin art, and they make amazing gifts, game night accessories, or small-batch products for your shop. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make your own resin dominoes step by step—even if you’ve never worked with resin before!
Work in a well-ventilated space, cover your surface, and gather all your supplies. Put on gloves and make sure your mold is clean and dry.
Step 2: Mix the Resin
Follow your resin brand’s instructions. Most require a 1:1 ratio by volume. Mix slowly for 3–5 minutes to avoid bubbles.
Step 3: Add Color or Embellishments
Once your resin is mixed, add pigment, glitter, foil flakes, or dried flowers. You can also leave it clear!
Step 4: Pour the First Layer
Pour about halfway into each cavity. Let this layer cure (usually 12–24 hours) before proceeding.
Step 5: Pour the Second Layer
Top off each cavity with more resin. This seals in any embellishments and gives your dominoes their full shape.
Step 6: Demold and Finish
Once fully cured, remove each domino from the mold. Sand rough edges if needed and polish the surface for extra shine.
Step 7: Paint the Pips
Use a fine paint pen or acrylic paint to fill in the dots and dividing lines. Let dry completely before sealing (optional).
