The handcrafted Liquid Keychain is mainly achieved through the epoxy resin process, combined with different shape designs.
The following are the specific steps and key points
1. Material preparation
1-1 Basic Materials: Silicone gel, keychain template (optional), gel tools (such as silicone squeezes, gel guns).
1-2 Shaped accessories: such as cat claws, turtle molds, etc. (need to be prepared in advance).
2. Production steps
2-1 Design the shape
Choose or customize keychain templates, such as cat PAWS, turtles, etc.
If silicone molds are used, they need to be demolded in advance and cleaned thoroughly.
2-2 epoxy resin molding
Pour the silicone resin into the template and keep the surface flat.
Use a silicone scraper to smooth out the excess resin, and pay attention to maintaining a natural transition of the quicksand texture.
2-3 Demolding and drying
Place the formed quicksand keychain into the demolding tool and wait for it to dry completely.
If a silicone mold is used, it needs to be left at room temperature for several hours until it cures.
3. Precautions
Tool safety: When using a glue drip gun, pay attention to the operation norms to avoid burns.
Design details: Glitter, painting and other decorations can be added to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
Storage method: After drying, it should be sealed and stored to avoid moisture and deformation.
4. Creative expansion
Theme diversification: In addition to animal shapes, natural elements such as raindrops and rainbows can also be designed.
Mass production: Purchasing silicone molds can enhance efficiency and is suitable for mass production.
