[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

I love this. I like the buckle because it gives it that rustic look.

[@BelindaWragg]

You know Mona I like this so well, I am considering redoing my end tables and coffee table with this!

[@CraftKlatch]

What a fun idea Belinda!!!

[@cindybaker9653]

looks great, I wouldn't give the flaw another thought!

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Cindy!

For years I have worked a lot with plywood and glued together pieces of thin chip board for my acrylic pours and sealing the surface right is a must. Usually I use a spray sealer for acrylic over the surface or a latex based paint. I use a gloss because it does allow the paint to slide easier, but I also pick up my pieces to shift them. Matte and satin work well too. You also need at least 2-3 coats of anything you use, especially gesso, since the gesso will wick into the wood. Hope this helps.

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks minnie0923! Great tips!

[@Gagalover3434]

I love it! would be super cute on a mantle with smaller ones around it!

[@gconnolly2]

I would not worry about the split as it looks awesome anyway good job x

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you sweetpie!

[@kathrynjackson3007]

Mona, flaw schmlaw! It's unique and any flaws add to the flavor and beauty. I love it. 👍🏻

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Kathryn!!

[@rosebud5543]

I really like the "not" so perfect star. 🇺🇸

[@MixinMadness]

As you said, you must seal it well before pouring. 2-3 coats of gesso should do it. I also see that your paint crazed because it was laid too thick and mixed a bit too thick as well. Once you finish pouring, tilt it to run some of the paint off and you'll also cover the sides at the same time. A glitter top coat would really make this baby stand out!

[@christywinkleman9830]

I think it's awesome and I wouldn't care if it's got the bubble or the imperfections. You might not can sell it that way but you can sure put it out in your yard or something for the 4th of July I think it's beautiful.

[@sandraadonis]

Lovely. Loved the technique :) Thank you for your tutorials.

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you Sandra!

[@martinosharon]

Love it Thanks for sharing and have a bless day. 💕❤️️💕

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Sharon!!!

[@kathleenl4387]

How clever!! I really like this and will consider trying it!! I think it would probably a perfect gift for one of my sisters, or to use myself in decorating, for not only Independence Day, but any time here in Texas 😃Thank You, Mona 😊🕊🌈💙

[@magical.unicornsanti1345]

You should do a resin with silver or white iridescent glitter pour on top to give it a high shine and sparkle! Either way...it looks awesome!

[@CraftKlatch]

Great idea Santiago!

[@robinarmstead885]

I think it turned out very patriotic. Great to hang on the front door.

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Robin!!!

[@azalea5560]

The lump adds character

[@cancersurvivor1242]

This is amazing mona I love it 😊

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you Tamara!

[@terripipher1300]

Love it mona I found that MDF Board it comes in different sizes and and it is less expensive you can paint it what ever color if you want cells try putting in 90% Alcohol and liqutex with water or resin

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Terri! That MDF will puff out if not properly sealed too. I don't know why I haven't thought about using it! It has a better edge. Thanks Terri!

[@terripipher1300]

CraftKlatch I use it all the time with my RESIN Art I have not had any problems with it some ppl call it peg board with no holes ...i use it sometimes for mosaics ...enjoy...😁

[@CraftKlatch]

You are right, Terri! It's perfect for resin! I think you have to seal it really well if you are using it with something waterbased. I see some MDF in my future!

[@terripipher1300]

CraftKlatch I'll have to try and seal mine nxt time good luck with your nxt project I'm gonna try your star I'll tag you on Instagram...😁

[@CraftKlatch]

I can't wait to see it!

[@merfaewit]

First comment and like yay! Love this craft it looks awesome mona

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you and yay first comment!! :)

[@a.shiflett709]

Awesome job! I did not even notice the flaw until you pointed it out! You know those red, white, and blue ribbons? Perhaps, you could obtain one of those and glue it over the flaw? You are so creative! Keep up the great work!

[@CraftKlatch]

Good idea! Thanks!!

[@helenterwellen1118]

I think it turned out great. had you not said anything don't think anyone would notice. as my dad would say a dumb man won't notice and a smart man won't say anything.

[@CraftKlatch]

Hahaha! Great saying!! Thanks Helen!

[@maggieblue9253]

Oh man that star is so cute. I do NOT like it when you put so much work into something and it messes up. I run into wood problems if there are knots in the wood. It breaks my saw blades.

[@wingsofindia4996]

[@trishaturner2078]

Very patriotic the flaw doesn't show.

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Trisha!
