You Will Need
-
Step 1Do As I Do, & As I Say.
WEAR GLOVES OR GET BURNED. -
Step 2Put a Desk together,
or use an old one it doesn't matter.
If it needs sanding, then sand it. -
Step 3Get all of your supplies together,
I am going to list everything here too: Desk
Scissors
Paintbrush
Resin (epoxy)
Acrylic Sealer
Mod Podge
Some Magazines
Cardstock Paper (I used animal print)
A Ruled paper cutter (mine is lighted
so I can see the lines better)
Latex Gloves
Glue/Wood Glue
Newspaper
Something to spread the resin with.
Plastic Measuring cups
& A Painters mask (If you cant stand the smell of resin, I am immune to it now) -
Step 4Take some of the card stock paper & cut it into long even strips.
-
Step 5Now cut the strips into even squares.
-
Step 6Now that your squares are cut,
lay out some newspaper & spread them out evenly. -
Step 7Take your podge & spread an even layer over the squares. Take not that the square will pop up when it is wet or be convex so to speak, like the green leopard print one in the pic, once it dries though, it will turn concave or fan out. Normally takes like 15 mins to dry.
-
Step 8Clear off the desk & Glue your squares down in a dope pattern. XD
-
Step 9Once you are finished with that, it should look pretty cool, I messed up my patten on here but most people don't notice it haha. You can spread another layer of mod podge on the desk if you want.
-
Step 10Shake up the sealer & spray it across the entire surface, I only do this so the color wont leak into the epoxy.
-
Step 11Take your magazine pages & cut out whatever you plan on putting on there.
(dues ex is super sexy so..yeah.) -
Step 12Glue those down wherever & then spread a layer of podge on it, or spray it with the sealer.
-
Step 13I would suggest taking the desk outside (so the fumes wont get to ya), & laying a huge piece of cardboard, or laying down lots of newspaper. The resin will drip, so this prevents it from ruining yo porch.
-
Step 14Now put your gloves on & get ready to mix your resin, I am just using cups to measure, the resin can eat the cup up, so its best to mix it in something durable. I mix mine in a jar.
-
Step 15Now go back outside & pour the resin mixed on to the desk, bubbles will form but the heat outside will pop them, so does your hot breath but hyperventilating is not a good idea. XD
-
Step 16Now spread it out evenly (sorry I couldn't get a pic doing this, cause I didn't wanna ruin my camera)It will take days to dry sometimes weeks, so don't think this will happen overnight.
But after that you are done! I hope I helped! :)
