Limited time bonus: includes a gem silicone mold to make treasure to put in the chest! *This is an exclusive, original design. * First round of orders ships with a bonus, gem shaped mold! This purchase directly supports the owner and sole employee (that's me!) of Craft Kitsune in my 3D design & mold making endeavors. As with all items in the shop, this ships from the U.S.! Designs on the mold(s): Treasure Chest Base Treasure Chest Lid 2 Lid Side Pieces 4 Hinges 2 Pegs 1 U-Shape for Lock 1 Flat Piece for Lock Sizing: Treasure Chest Base: 2.73 wide x 2.12 deep x 1.4 tall Treasure Chest Lid: 2.73 wide x x 2.12 deep x 1.12 tall Combined, closed: 2.73 wide x x 2.12 deep x 2.52 tall Resin needed to make one: Treasure Chest Base: 40-45mL Treasure Chest Lid: 20-25mL 2 Lid Side Pieces: 4mLx2 Other accessory pieces: <5mL total 80mL total will make 1 complete chest. Instructions: Casting: Pour resin in each part on both molds. For the lid- pour slowly in the opening (circled). Wait for the resin to settle & even out, reaching the top on both sides. Follow your resin's curing instructions before unmolding. Unmolding: Lid: Use a popsicle stick in the opening to carefully peel the resin piece from the silicone. Then, roll the mold down a bit so you can grab the piece and rotate it out of the mold. Base: Fold the mold down around the piece. At the bottom, gently pull the inside silicone from the piece. The other pieces will demold easily. Hinge assembly: Place 2 hinge pieces with rod through both as seen below. Make two of these sets. Hold the chest lid so the slots match with the chest base. On the base- glue one hinge from both sets on each slot . Be careful not to glue the hinges together! Wait for this to set. Then, glue the second hinge from each set onto the lid slots. Sides for lid: Glue the side piece in place. Try to leave as little gap between the base and lid as possible when the chest is closed. Lock: Add the flat piece to the middle, bottom ridge of the lid. Align the u-shape on the middle, top of the base so that they close together.
