Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Manipulate and size your cut files to fit onto the pop sockets. Ours were 1.5”. Mirror your images.
2. Cut, weed, and apply transfer tape to your designs.
3. Measure, mix, and pour a thin layer of epoxy into the bottom of your silicone molds. Use the lighter to pop any bubbles, and cure for 12-24 hours.
4. Use the reverse tweezers to carefully place the designs on the epoxy. DO NOT remove the epoxy from the molds for this step.
5. Measure out your epoxy, mix, add glitter, mix again, and pour a very thin layer into the molds.
6. Use the lighter to pop any bubbles, and cure for 12-24 hours once more.
7. Remove from the mold and use sandpaper to flatten the bottom of the epoxy pieces.
8. Use adhesive to glue the epoxy to the pop socket and allow the glue to cure.
