Just Might DIY

When we first started mapping out the build for the Anthropologie-Inspired Cabinet, we knew we wanted to have two marble-looking handles that formed a diamond. However, the plan for how we were going to achieve that evolved as the rest of the project proved more challenging than anticipated.

The original plan was to build a resin mold and do a deep resin pour, making the marble pattern with different colors of resin. But we wanted a simpler way.

After some creative brainstorming, we came up what has to be the easiest way to achieve this look: print off a marble pattern on photo paper, adhere it to some wood and top it with a clear resin flood pour.

With only about 50% confidence that it would work, we gave it a go. And they turned out BEAUTIFULLY (if we may say so ourselves).

There really are only four steps to this process:

1. Print off a marble pattern onto photo paper
2. Cut it to size for your handles
3. Adhere photo to handles using spray adhesive.
4. Pour a flood coat of clear resin over it.
