Whether you're a new resin hobbyist or just starting out, here are some creative resin mixed media craft ideas that will bring Christmas cheer to your home and make thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts
Resin Christmas Ornaments for the Tree!
Turn your Christmas tree into a sparkling masterpiece with unique hanging resin ornaments. Use moulds shaped like stars, snowflakes, or even Christmas icons like reindeer or stockings. You can pour resin mixed with mica powders or chameleon pigments to create shimmering colours and add glitter or small festive-themed items like faux snow or dried flowers for an extra Christmassy touch.
Tip: Personalise each ornament with Cricut vinyl initials or names for a custom touch perfect for gifts!

DIY Resin Coasters
Resin coasters make great gifts and are a stylish addition to any home. You can create a set of coasters with beautiful colours, patterns, or even images embedded inside. For a Christmas twist, consider using gold pigments, or add small xmas charms like mini snowflakes or dried pine needles.
Tip: Peaceful Glitter (in the piccy) is a wonderful fine glitter that works a treat on resin coaster edges – try teaming it up with Bloom finish for extra reassurance for a perfect edge.

Resin Gift Tags
Add a special touch to your presents with handmade resin gift tags. You can create clear or coloured tags and embed mini decorations like tiny flowers, rhinestones, or seasonal charms. Use glow in the dark powders to create an elegant nighttime neon pop whilst they're sat under the tree, or chameleon pigments for a unique colour-shifting effect.
Tip: These tags double as keepsakes! They can be hung on the tree or kept as a memento from a memorable gift.
You can also use your resin drips or leftovers to make unique one of a kind resin tags.
Resin Candle Trays or Dishes!
Resin can be used to create decorative mats and trays to hold candles – a bit like a tealight place mat. You can match the candle you are gifting for a truly unique one off gift that will add a cozy, festive glow to any room. Consider using moulds that form trees, stars, or snowmen for a cute Christmas design.
Tip: Remember not to use Epoxy resin as a candle vessel – resin is not flame safe.
Resin Jewellery: Earrings & Necklaces
Create beautiful, custom resin jewellery perfect for gifting! Use resin to make pendants, earrings, or bracelets with embedded decorations like holiday charms, dried flowers, or even tiny seasonal trinkets. You can experiment with different moulds to create shapes like stars, snowflakes, or holly leaves, and add pops of colour with mica pigments.
Tip: You can also use resin to create resin cabochons which can be attached to pendants or rings for a chic, handmade look.

Resin Wall Art
Resin art can be turned into stunning wall art that will brighten up any space. Create a Christmas-inspired piece with a combination of fluid resin pouring, glitter, and pigments.
A simple snowy landscape or a colourful abstract design will make a striking focal point on your wall. You can shop art surfaces for pouring onto here https://www.createandbloomcrafts.com/collections/art-boards
Tip: Try layering different colours of resin to create depth and add gold or silver leaf for an elegant touch. Create and Bloom Transparent tints are a great pigment to consider for second and additional pours - see more here. https://www.createandbloomcrafts.com/collections/transparent-epoxy-resin-tints
Resin Magnets
Small but delightful, resin magnets are great for spreading Christmas cheer! You can create resin magnets with tiny embedded items like glitter, sequins, or even small xmas polymer clay slices such as trees or stars. Use round or festive-shaped moulds, and then attach magnet backings once they’ve cured.
Tip: These make excellent stocking stuffers or quick handmade gifts for colleagues or friends.
Resin Picture Frames
Frame your Christmas memories in resin picture frames that are as beautiful as the photos themselves. Use festive moulds, and pour resin mixed with metallic pigments, or incorporate Christmas-themed embellishments like holly leaves or little ornaments.
Tip: Personalise the frame with small resin touches or a message and add a layer of resin over a favourite Xmas photo for a unique and sentimental gift.
Use Apex UV resin to embellish the finished frame with diamantes and gems – you can grab the best UV resin here. https://just4youonlineuk.com/collections/apex-resin/products/apex-resin-uv-100g
