There are various shapes and designs to choose from. For example, a hexagonal cylinder nightlight, an ocean-themed pyramid lamp, or glittered cube lamplight. Lastly, put it on a wooden platform for a better presentation. 

Fruit Platters

An elegant fruit platter as a centerpiece on your dining table is a great craft project to do. This is also better if you have small kids at home because resin-made materials are durable and don’t break easily, unlike glass or plastic fruit platters.

River Table

River tables are beginning to trend. The majestic table with a center that looks like a natural river can become a lovely focal point in a home. Most river tables are made from repurposed wood, so this will be a perfect opportunity for you to reuse the old woods in your shed.

Flower Vase

A resin vase will be a great project if you like to add a touch of nature indoors. This is a versatile project as you can place it in any part of your house and with flowers and greenery arrangement to decorate the space. Moreover, if you’re allergic to certain plants or flowers, you can replace them with artificial ones.
