Resin Bookmark

A resin bookmark is a decorative and functional item used to hold a place in a book, crafted from various types of resin.

Material

The primary material is resin, typically either:

• Epoxy Resin: The most common type, known for its clarity, durability, and ability to embed objects. It is a two-part system requiring mixing a resin and hardener.
• UV Resin: Cures quickly under ultraviolet light, suitable for smaller projects and layering. Generally less durable than epoxy resin.
• Polyurethane Resin: Offers flexibility and good resistance to yellowing, but can be more expensive.

Within the resin, a wide variety of materials can be embedded for aesthetic purposes, including:

• Dried flowers and leaves
• Glitter
• Small charms (metal, beads, etc.)
• Pigments and dyes
• Photos
• Paint
• Shells
• Pearls

Purpose

The primary purpose is to mark a page in a book, preventing loss of reading progress. However, resin bookmarks are frequently used as decorative items and gifts due to their customizable nature.
