Whatever your reason, you’ll love this list of resin ideas you can sell.
Paperweight
Skill level: easy
This is the classic resin gift, especially when you personalize it. You can add pictures, concert tickets, or other personal items. You can even add a dandelion to make a paperweight.
Business card holder
Skill level: easy
The new graduate needs something to hold their new business cards. Find out what their passion is and add that to the clear resin. Then, they’ll think of you every time they sit at their desk and admire their business card holder.
Flower vase
Skill level: intermediate
Preserve your favorite flowers in a vase for your future flowers. Of course, this project requires you to dry the flowers before you use them to craft with resin. This adds to your project time, but the results are so worth it.
Trinket box
Skill level: intermediate
Who doesn’t need a little box to hold onto the items that easily get lost? Resin trinket boxes can do just that. Use them on a desk with paper clips or on a kitchen windowsill to hold rings. They’re the cutest way to keep track of small items.
Entryway tray
Skill level: intermediate
Speaking of corralling items, a trinket box might not be big enough. In that case, you can create a catch-all tray to catch more than small items. This can be the place for keys, phones, wallets, and more. Everyone will love having a spot to put down their pocket items as soon as they enter the door.
Coasters
Skill level: easy to intermediate
No list of resin ideas to sell would be complete without coasters. You can make resin coasters in so many designs and shapes. Start with a coaster mold, then decorate. You might decide you want to make geode coasters. Or perhaps something more kitschy like bottle cap coasters. You can personalize these with pictures too.
Tumbler
Skill level: intermediate
Did you know you can craft drink tumblers with resin? I wouldn’t kid you about something like that. Start with a metal tumbler, add a design, then coat with a resin for tumblers. You can add epoxy colors or make them one-of-a-kind by adding vinyl stickers. Your beverage will be so bougie.
Letters
Skill level: easy
Did you know you can make resin letters without a mold? The trick is using wooden letter cutouts that you decorate with resin. Mix your epoxy, add resin colors, then pour onto the letters. Get abstract and crazy in this step. No two letters will look the same.
Shrink plastic earrings
Skill level: easy to intermediate
Do you have drawing skill? Even if you don’t, you can transfer designs to shrink plastic, then coat them with clear epoxy. Here’s how to make shrinky dink earrings (Halloween theme optional).
Charcuterie board

The next time someone asks you over for tapas, you can let them know you’ve got the perfect charcuterie board for the occasion. Of course, you’ll need good resin skills to take this one on. But once you do, you’ll love making these. They’re also perfect housewarming gifts in case this is one of those resin ideas that you choose to gift instead of sell.
Bowls

Ask any gamer if they want a custom dice set, and I bet you’ll hear a resounding YES. Making resin dice is almost as much fun as the game itself.
