Prepare the Epoxy Resin: Mix epoxy resin with the hardener in a 3:1 ratio. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and bubble-free.

Color Allocation: Divide the mixed resin into three portions and tint each with white, pink, and light green colorants, respectively.

Casting and Initial Curing: Pour the tinted resin into keychain molds, ensuring all corners are filled, then allow the resin to cure at room temperature for 24 hours to ensure complete solidification.

Add Decorations: Apply UV resin glue around the edges of the molds, then place the colored resin accessories such as tulip petals, mini macaron hearts, and glittery hearts into each of the three molds.

UV Curing: Use a UV lamp to cure the molds for 60 seconds to fix the position of the accessories.

Add Text: Affix gold stickers onto the surface of the cured resin, making sure they are centered or placed in other predetermined locations.

Seal Layer: After decorating and applying the stickers, cover with a layer of clear epoxy resin as a sealant.

Final Curing: Allow the entire keychain to cure again at room temperature for another 24 hours to ensure the top layer of resin is fully cured.

Demolding and Polishing: Once fully cured, remove the keychain from the mold and perform any necessary sanding and polishing to smooth the surface and tidy the edges.

Assembly: Finally, attach a key ring or other hanging fixtures to the keychain to complete the creation.
