Making Use of Off Cuts

Lanterns with intricate cutouts make great quick gifts and it’s so satisfying to lift parts free after a good cut. I find the bits left behind both beautiful in their own way and annoying as hell to pick off the crumb tray so started using tape to pick them up. This just means I end up with stacks of taped together bits . I’ve finally figured out a use for some of them.

Tape them up and fill the spaces with resin! My first pour was a mess and started leaking immediately. I figured out a better taping method for the second pour. These make serviceable petite coasters
