Here is the video tutorial:





Directions:

1.  Draw a shark on poster board and cut it out.  Then trace it onto a piece of MDF.

2.  Cut it out with a jigsaw.

3.  Sand the edges.

4.  Spray paint it silver or gray.

5.  Paint on the details – 


Like the belly…


The mouth…

The gills…

6.  Glue on the eye.  I made the eye out of a glass gem and painted the back of the eye black, with multi-surface paint.


7.  Mix resin and I added a little tint of pigment powder and transparent blue pigment.

8.  Pour it onto the shark and move it around.

9.  Use a torch to pop the bubbles.

10.  Allow it to cure for 12 hours before handling it.

11.  Now you have a colossal shark to for your decor inside, or out!  If you put it outside, be sure to seal the backside too!


That’s it!  Thanks for stopping by!

Remember:  Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™  Stay safe!
