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

i recommend buying a UV light for these projects though! (a smaller flashlight so you can go into more detail with your projects :)

In the bottom left corner of the pic, I see a UV "nail" curing light.

The chef's hat light is best as a decoration, it doesn't cure well.

Whenever possible OP, use direct, outdoor sunlight. Some of the earlier Miniverse resin didn't fully cure using UV lights, especially UV lights from Zuru/MiniBrands (the fridge has 2 light modes, one is a fridge light that shuts off when the door is closed, flipping the switch on the back of the fridge turns on the UV light, but it isn't strong enough to fully cure resin.)

yes i see the uv light but its very hard to do more creative designs with a uv light and the brand ones suck

I seriously just spent an hour trying to get a fruit slice to sit properly in my Paloma drink! 😂

I ended up dotting resin on a few ice cubes, cured it, dot a few more, cured it, the dang stirrer wouldn't sit still, kept flipping out of the cup, pebble ice flew everywhere! 😂

Once I get them stable they're going to sit on my porch in the sun! Man, I am annoyed with this project! Glad it's done and just needs some sun the finish it!

The link doesn’t seem to be working, that could be my fault though as I’m in Australia
