How difficult is it?

Making gorgeous work really is super-easy thanks to the simple-to-follow booklet and tutorial that will help make you look like a professional!

Creating your own drop-dead gorgeous statement pieces for any room using this kit is a great way to add a string to your upcycling bow or simply to make a one-off piece to create a focal point for your room.

This easy-to-use resin is really easily pigmented and gives amazing results for beginners and more experienced resin users alike.

The GlassCast 3 resin is the perfect way to protect painted or wallpapered surfaces on any upcycle project. Marcie will also demonstrate how to recreate her signature leopard print technique using resin giving a hard wearing and waterproof surface.

The pigments included in the kit can be used to add tints of colour or stronger tones and can also be mixed together to make additional colours and hues.

With two projects covered in the tutorial - a bureau turned into a cocktail bar and a decoupage cabinet protected with resin - and more inspiration in the book and on the GlassCast gallery - the possibilities really are endless.
