"Place Cards Could Be Adorable Too! Will Resin-Made 'Heart Shakers' Become the Next Trend?"

The heart-shaped resin keychain is cute＊

Recently, I've been seeing heart-shaped resin keychains frequently on Instagram♡

They are items born in Korea, containing pressed flowers, beads, pearls, and holograms inside, with alphabet stickers stuck on the surface.

They look like jewels and are adorable, right?♡

It seems to be called a heart shaker♡

This item is referred to as "heart shaker" in Korea.

(In Korean, it's written as 하트쉐이커.)

The name comes from its heart shape, as well as the parts in the slightly indented center that sway back and forth.

It seems to be trendy to make them with your name or the name of your favorite idol or character＊

How to make it?

This video provided a clear explanation of how to make a heart shaker＊

The steps are,

1) Pour resin into a heart-shaped silicone mold (you can include flowers or other elements depending on the design)

2) Cure the resin in the mold

↓ It will look something like this.

3) Stick OHP film on the center part, apply more resin on top, and cure it

4) Insert the desired parts inside

5) Stick OHP film on the opposite side, apply resin on top again, and cure it

6) Attach a chain, and it's done!

To make it cute, you can add colors or glitter to the resin — that's a fun tip for handmade creations＊

Make sure to choose a design with a frame for the silicone mold.
