If you love vintage Christmas treasures as much as I do, you’re going to adore this project! I found a vintage-inspired Santa mold on Amazon and decided to give it new life with a little casting resin — and the results turned out so sweet and nostalgic. Let me show you how simple it is to bring vintage charm into your holiday decor!

Step 1: Make sure your mold is clean and ready — you don’t want anything stuck inside that could ruin your finished Santa!
Step 2: Pour equal parts of resin A and B into two disposable cups.
Step 3: Mix them together quickly — resin sets fast, so don’t wait too long!
Step 4: Once it’s well mixed, pour it into your mold.
You’ll see it start turning white within a few minutes. It usually takes about 10 minutes to fully cure. Once it’s ready, gently peel the mold away and reveal your adorable Santa!
I just love how he turns out!
To make him really pop, give him a quick coat of spray paint — it brings out all the vintage details.
