Sparkly Twilight Gnomes Tutorial - Easy Resin Project You Can Follow!

178| Resin art gnome tray tutorial using Just Resin Twilight Sparkle pastes and the Molds & Shapes gnome mould
Right, this one started because Claire “inspired” me… I finally grabbed the gorgeous Gnome Tray Moulds from @moldsandshapes and thought, “Yep, this needs sparkle.” And nothing sparkles harder than the new Twilight Sparkle pastes from @JustResin.

So in true Kirnix fashion, I sat colouring this gnome like a glitter-obsessed toddler while Kirk provided weather updates and commentary. These colours are ridiculous — every pour had me ooooh’ing like a magpie. And yes, this tray took days because I let each section cure like a responsible adult. Rare moment.

We also made matching gnome keyrings and honestly? They’re adorable… even the one with a slightly purple beard. It happens. You’ll cope.

This mould is stunning, the pastes are sorcery, and the final result? Shiny. So shiny I instantly wanted to make ten more.

Grab a cuppa and settle in for sparkles, sarcasm, and proper Kirnix resin chaos.
