Bag handles

After doing a small survey around Etsy bag makers, I decided to give resin bag handles a whirl as an addition to my shop. I used nearly a whole kilogram of Vinamould, which took about 40 minutes in total in small 20 second stages in the microwave. The bag handle I chose to use as the model was a bit tacky when pulled out, so I've rendered my pair unusable now! I will have to post some guidance notes on successful mould making using the microwave, as it is generally not recommended by the manufacturer.This morning I filled the mould for the first time with the pink galaxy marbled resin style I have used in some recent jewellery pieces (also on Etsy). I will probably pull it out tomorrow morning and have a look, only then will I know if it has been successful or not! Fingers crossed...
