Valentine's is creeping up on us and I thought it would be fun to make some resin crafts for Valentine's Day! If you want a box of chocolates out for display, but can't resist the temptation, here's a box of candy you can't eat!
Here is a quick video video, so you can see exactly how I made it!

Mix four ounces of resin and add red pigment. Pour into heart mold. Allow to cure.
Mix six ounces of resin and split into three cups. Add brown into two of the cups and white in the third. Pour into mold. Allow to cure.
Remove the chocolate from the mold.
Add some dimensional fabric paint to look like icing.
Mix two ounces of resin and add red pigment. Pour it into the heart mold.
While the resin is wet, add the chocolates.
Once the resin has cured, remove it from the mold and cut a strip of stiff red felt. Glue it around the heart.
Add white ribbon for additional embellishment.
Mix five ounces of resin, with red pigment. Pour it into the heart mold and allow it to cure.
Position the heart over the candy portion (you want to have it offset) and drill a hole through the heart and into chocolate portion.
Add a screw.
Glue ribbon and bow over the screw.
And now you have a box of Valentine's Day chocolates!
