How to make gorgeous DIY bookmarks with resin! These resin bookmarks are easy to customize and make a great gift idea!
 I spent a LOT of time reading in 2020. In fact, I read 40 books last year! I love to DIY practical crafts that are not only cute but also useful. These DIY bookmarks are both!
This is such a simple resin project and is a GREAT project for beginners! I used two part epoxy resin for this craft. It’s as simple as mixing equal parts of the resin and hardener and adding in your decorations!
For this project, I didn’t have bookmark molds and simply used rectangle ones. If that’s all you have, just be careful to to overfill the mold. You don’t want your resin bookmarks to be too thick!

Materials
- EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy
- Molds
- Glitter
- Metallic/foil confetti
- Mixing Cups
- Stir Sticks
Instructions
- Start by preparing your EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy. This is a multi-step process so don’t start mixing until you are ready to do the whole project from the beginning to end! Start by mixing EQUAL parts of the Hardener and the Resin.
Stir the mixture for 2 minutes (be sure to scrape the bottoms and sides) then pour from the 1st cup into a 2ndand mix with a new stir stick for an additional minute.
- Once your resin is ready you can add glitter in if you'd like!
- Now add your resin to your molds! I didn't have bookmark molds for this project, so I used rectangle molds and only filled about 1/4 of the way so they were thin enough to use!
- After you've poured your resin bookmarks - add in any embellishment you'd like!
- After your resin to cures, you can remove from the molds!

For my resin bookmarks, I used metallic confetti. Something with a coating works much better than say, paper for instance. They won’t discolor or have weird spots on them!

Very nice. I haven’t found any of my talents yet so I would like to try this. You did a great job. I am 71 lol! How did you make the holes?

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, Jackie! I hope you do try! I drilled a hole to add the ribbon for the bookmark because the mold I used was just a rectangle. I’ve since found these molds and really like them! No drilling necessary! https://rstyle.me/+QTpa4XWDLtJN0OzoAXx1zg

How did you keep the resin from climbing up the sides of the mold? Or did you sand and top coat after de-molding?

I usually sand if needed 🙂
