Anthropology Enchantment Dresser Inspired Makeover | DIY Thrifted Dresser

I have been wanting to recreate a similar look of the Enchantment Dresser from Anthropology for quite some time now. I was just waiting to find the right piece. It's my first time making molds out of resin, (or any other material) and trying anything like it. With some @amyhowardathome decorative molds, acrylic glacier resin and One Step Paint I made my own version of this charming dresser on a beautiful Hepplewhite piece.

Beautiful work, Walessa! I have had these same molds for about 1.5 years and keep saying I am going to get around to using them! Your piece is beautiful and I am more motivated to get going and do my piece!! I occasionally look for just the "perfect piece" to use them on and never seem to find it, but I am just going to have to pick one and go with it! Thank you for making this piece and sharing your process. :)

WOW this piece is absolutely stunning and the colours are eye catching but not over the top. Only thing I was curious about - The resin technique with the 60/40 ratio may cause issues as it wont cure as it should. However, using the recommended ratio and taking it out when it's at the still bendy stage will allow it to be moulded to your piece. A heat gun can be used to heat up the resin piece if it's gone a little too hard. You've totally inspired me to use my resin flower/leaf pieces to make a mirror I have fancy 😊

@aliferefurbished Жыл бұрын

I noticed that by the time I glued the bendable ones, they felt harder. Using a heat gun sounds like a great idea.

@aliferefurbished Жыл бұрын

Yes the resin hardened, it just took a little longer. It basically gives you more play time. 😊 And the leaf pattern did not damage easier. I just carefully removed the more intricate and smaller flowers, since they could get damage during the removal process.
