Prepare your workspace: Ensure your crafting area is well-ventilated and covered to protect against spills.
Mix the resin: In a mixing cup, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to combine the resin and hardener. Stir thoroughly for about five minutes until it’s completely blended.
Add color: Divide the resin into smaller cups, adding different pigments to each to create a rainbow effect. You may use a small amount of glitter for each color to enhance the sea urchins’ sparkle.
Pour into molds: Carefully pour each color layer into the mold, starting with the lighter colors and gradually adding darker shades. This will create a beautiful gradient effect.
Cure the resin: Allow the resin to cure according to the package instructions. Typically, you’ll leave it for 24 hours to ensure it hardens completely.
Demold and finish: Once the resin is cured, gently remove the sea urchins from the molds. If needed, sand any rough edges for a smooth finish.

Customize your sea urchins by adding small shells or sand before pouring resin for added texture.
