Make a \glove box\ (sealed container with gloves for accessing inside it) from a transparent box, gloves, and duct tape. This is a simpler method than the one given by Instructables, which has advantages (doesn't require cutting PVC pipes) and disadvantages (probably isn't as comfortable or sturdy).

Coaster tutorial. Coaster mould + resin + transparency film + circle cutter = coaster! This tutorial adds a few interesting techniques to the repertoire: (laser) printing an image on transparency film, and cutting it out to the shape and size of the coaster using a circle cutter. If one doesn't have a colour laser printer, one could possibly print something out in black-and-white and colour it with sharpies.

Melted crayon project using white space to create a Tardis design. But could be used with any design you could cut out.

This could probably be done on things like tiles on a smaller scale.

Beach and shells resin coaster tutorial. What I like about this one is the way it has blue water at the edges of the sand. Because the sand-and-resin mixture is thick, it doesn't spread all over the bottom, thus enabling the making of the blue water parts.

Resin paperweight, using a heart resin charm, gold leaf, and lots of blue glitter. I love the way the gold leaf and the blue go together.

This shows how to stencil on resin. The idea is to make one layer of resin, take it out of the mould, stencil on it, put it back in the mould, and pour another layer of resin on it. So the mould needs to be very simple.

This tutorial shows how to make a little charm using epoxy clay, mica powder, and a stamp. One could probably use other types of clay, such as polymer clay or air-dry clay, though the effect might not be quite the same.

Create a galaxy effect pendant tutorial. This one makes the galaxy background with white acrylic paint and (sparkly) black/blue/purple/clear nailpolish painted into a bezel. The 3D effect is done by layering glitter and stars and microbeads on top, and doming it all with (UV?) resin and adding a few more glitter-stars into that.

This tutorial shows how to make simple charms with resin and Pebeo paints. These paints create beautiful abstract and unique designs. Paints used in this video were:

Pebeo Prisme Fantasy Pebeo Moon Fantasy Pebeo Vitrail Glass.

The usefulness of this technique depends entirely on whether one can or cannot get hold of these Pebeo paints, alas.

Tutorial for glittery galactic clouds in your resin piece. Holographic glitter + dark shades of glitter + black glitter. This could probably be done with mica powder too.
