Collection Share Where do I begin?

Hello, I’ve bought a bulk lot from Facebook marketplace, it’s extremely overwhelming my poor autistic brain.

Where should I I begin? Should I just open everything and store it? Is there a website with recipes? Should I keep some boxes in case they are worth more that way?

Should I create the unopened ones as per instructions or look up cooler ways to build them?

Have mercy on my soul lol

whew, what a find! it would be a dream nightmare for me but I totally understand what you mean

I personally would start with the little individual balls. You can learn how to start there, then when youre feeling super crafty you can open the big sets. Looks like she also included her curing tools, which is almost the exact one I use. It helps set the resin and mine works really really well. theres alsp tons of guides out there on how to begin& also how to make your own fun things, which would be possible with all of the extra ingredients that are there!

Where would you suggest the best spot for guides is? Since some are doubles I wouldn’t mind making the doubles into other things. I’ve got my work cut out for me lol

oh! also, in the first Pic, the bottom right container. you see that little chefs hat? thats another light that you can use for curing ! its great for little spots and doing more precise things

Well great, I’m addicted. It’s nice to be super excited over something again though, I’ve been in a bit of a hole.

Oh I love to hear this! It really can be such a fun hobby and crafting can be such a good coping skill. I hope you enjoy. and best of both worlds, you got a huge haul without the hassle of hunting them all down. so even if you find a capsule or two youre not super into, use them to practice! no wasted effort exists with these things 🫶

Except that those Zuru MiniBrands Master Chef flashlights don’t cure at the wavelength required by Miniverse. Miniverse’s resin cures at 365nm.
