How to make a wedding favor with Aqua Resin

• Mix 100g of Aqua Resin with 30g of cold water, or 50g of Aqua Shield for a more resistant, shiny, porcelain-effect result.
• Add pigments or glitter directly to the powder before the water, to obtain an intense and uniform colour.
• Pour the mixture into the chosen mold and let it rest for about 30-60 minutes.
• Unmold your creation and, if you like, finish with light sanding or natural protective wax.
• Wrap the favor with eco-friendly materials such as cotton ribbons, recycled labels, or dried flowers.

Why use Aqua Shield for a porcelain effect?

The combination of Aqua Resin and Aqua Shield transforms your favors into design objects. The surface will be smooth, shiny, and slightly translucent, just like porcelain. This finish enhances every detail, waterproofs the surfaces, and protects them from moisture, wax, or dust. The result is elegant, durable, and professional , perfect for special occasions like weddings, communions, graduations, or baptisms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use Aqua Resin even if I have no experience with resin?
Yes, Aqua Resin is perfect even for beginners. Its water-based formula is easy to mix, odorless, and doesn't require special protection like gloves or masks.

How long does it take for a natural resin wedding favor to harden?
With the basic mix (Aqua Resin + water), the creation hardens in about 30 minutes. If using Aqua Shield instead of water, wait at least an hour for greater strength and the porcelain effect.

Are resin favors waterproof?
Aqua Resin, on its own, is durable but not completely waterproof. For longer-lasting favors that are protected from moisture, water, or wax, we recommend adding Aqua Shield to the mix.

Can I color the favors with different pigments?
Absolutely. Aqua Resin can be colored with powdered pigments (Aqua Pigment), inks, or acrylic paints. You can also mix multiple pigments to create unique shades.

What kind of molds can I use?
The best ones are those made of silicone, because they allow for easy extraction and keep even the finest details intact.

How can I get a porcelain effect on my wedding favors?
The porcelain effect is achieved by mixing Aqua Resin with Aqua Shield. The result is a shiny, smooth, and slightly translucent surface, ideal for elegant and refined wedding favors.

Are Aqua Resin creations safe for children or sensitive people?
Yes. Aqua Resin is non-toxic, solvent-free, and can be used with children under supervision. It's ideal for family creative activities.

Is it possible to insert decorative objects into the resin?
Yes. You can add glitter, dried flowers, beads, or small natural decorations directly to the mold before pouring the mixture. This will give you an even more personalized result.

How far in advance should I prepare the party favors?
We recommend starting at least 1-2 weeks before your event to allow plenty of time to carefully create, refine, and package each piece.

How do I store Aqua Resin properly after opening?
Store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and heat. Under these conditions, it will keep perfectly for up to 6 months.
