Resin is a durable and strong medium, leaving a high gloss, protective finish that allows for a variety of effects to be achieved in art.
Its versatility opens up plenty of artistic opportunities, which has likely led to the mushrooming of small businesses online making their unique creations, from tiny preserved botanical earrings, to large ocean-themed furniture.
Since these often make great gifts and with so many options on the market, we’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of 19 Malaysians selling their resin crafts online.
Do note however that resin products are time-consuming to make and also require time to harden, so you should speak directly with these sellers to manage your expectations in receiving parcels.
