I used 4 shades of glistening gold, copper and rose gold glitter to give these pixelated heart design keychains their depth and shiny finish.

These heart pixels are the perfect little guys to make for a handmade gift...anyone who loves old 8-bit games and Minecraft, will love these.

Supplies Needed for Pixel Heart Keychains:

• EasyCast Epoxy Resin
• Glitter
• Pixel Heart Silicone Mold
• Mixing Cups, Stirring Sticks, Disposable Gloves
• Screw Eyes (Key Chain Hardware)
• Drill/Bit
• Mini Carabiner
• Jewelry Pliers

Step 1: Mixing Resin

Begin by mixing a few ounces of EasyCast Resin in the 2 phase process. Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly before mixing.

If you aren't sure how much resin to mix up, here's a trick:

Fill up the mold with water. Then pour the water into a measuring cup. This will let you know how much resin needs to be mixed to fill the mold.

Step 2: Pouring Resin in Pixel Heart Mold

Next, pour a bunch of glitter into the resin and gently mix it into the epoxy resin to avoid whipping bubbles into the resin.

Now pour the glittery mixed resin into the pixel heart silicone mold all the way up to the top rim of the mold.

Let the resin sit for twenty minutes, then pop the bubbles that form on the top.

You can use a heat gun, mini torch or gently blow through a straw holding it near the bubbles.

Step 3: Curing Resin

Now let the resin sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours to allow the resin to cure.

I always let my resin projects cure overnight at least...or leave them in a random closed room for an undisclosed amount of days because they were forgotten for a while, meticulous attention needed.

Then the best part--pop the hearts out of the mold.

The glitter gives the hearts so much depth and sparkle!

If the resin pixel hearts have rough edges, use a nail file to file the edges smooth.

I love the 2 different design patterns of the pixel hearts.

Step 4: Pixel Heart Keychain Hardware

Now it's time to add the keychain hardware. 

At this point, you could put a pendant bail on them and make necklaces, add knob pulls and make dresser knobs, or any number of other things. 

But today we are making keychains with a stainless steel screw eye and a carabiner.

Use a drill bit the size of the screw eye to pilot a small hole in the top of the heart.

Just mark the drill bit with a little masking tape so you drill in the perfect depth for the screw eyes.

Then twist the screw eye into the drilled hole, use the jewelry pliers to help twist the screw eye into the resin pixel heart.

Just use caution, as it is easy to twist the loop right off the screw eye.

Finally hook the mini carabiner right in to the screw eye loop.

I love the mini carabiners, they give a fun and unique addition for a keychain, but you can use typical keychain hardware too.

Repeat the same process for all the little resin pixel heart keychains you have.

Now they are ready to attach to a handmade gift or a card to pass out to friends, family and teachers to let them know how much you love them.

These are great for and gift-giving holiday gifts...Christmas, Valentine's day and more!

That's it--Enjoy!
