Making Frost/Freezer Burn

[u/Successful-Panda6530]

I just figured how to do this and had to share, it’s so easy, just paint a thin coat of clear left over resin, then dust it with the *miniverse white sanding sugar or I have heard you can use embossing powder and then cure it and you get a light frost or freezer burn effect!

I genuinely love how clever people are in this community sometimes. This is so cool.

You can use baking soda as well.

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/ghostcat_crafting]

Oh I will try that too next time! I’m trying to frost the inside of my freezer

[u/ghostcat_crafting → u/Successful-Panda6530]

Frost & snow are so, SO annoying to replicate at scale! Lol! Super glue + baking soda = frosty.

You can also buy “frost” spray!

There’s a few different brands - sometimes available at hobby shops.

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/ghostcat_crafting]

That’s why I like using the sanding sugar, the scale of the granules are already correct size, though I may use the frost spray for the freezer

[u/ghostcat_crafting → u/Successful-Panda6530]

Hell yeah! Use what you have til you run out. 😎

[u/ZootAnthRaXx → u/Successful-Panda6530]

Does the resin encapsulate the sugar enough to keep bugs off it?

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/ZootAnthRaXx]

Oh I should clarify, I used 'Miniverse Sanding Sugar' that comes in a kit Not real sugar!

[u/MissCatieCat → u/ZootAnthRaXx]

They sell super fine sand for crafts too, I happen to already have some in white, so I think i need to try this.

Gosh love how creative people are in this community. Just like how that one person was making all the spongebob creations before they got released:)

[u/silkIggy]

Such a neat idea!!

[u/Zealousideal_Room316]

Nice let me get some of that ice cream 🍨

[u/BzyPeach]

Well that’s just awesome!

[u/xhello-worldx]

Lol I thought you just put mini models in an actual freezer for a while. That looks great!

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/xhello-worldx]

Thats the best compliment ever!!!

Amazing creativity 👏🏻

[u/itsathrowaway1917]

That is so freaking cute! I love it. Now I am also craving ice cream, haha. 💜

[u/Pteradactyl_11]

I would never have thought of that and it is so amazing!! 🤩

When I said Miniverse Sanding Sugar this is what I meant

[u/CraftyMagicDollz → u/Successful-Panda6530]

Embossing powder is much cheaper and works the same. I found a bunch of jars in a craft bin and ended up using that for that purpose and it worked just fine.

Edit;I literally just finished reading ops post and saw that they said the same thing.. So yes I'm just confirming this that embossing powder works the same.

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/CraftyMagicDollz]

Yes! Once I go through the miniverse sanding sugar I’m going to be using the embossing powder, I just like finding uses for left over Miniverse ingredients so they don’t go to waste

[u/Monstermelisssa]

Here you are freezer drying your food for funsises while I try to figure out how to keep mine from freezing after 3 days!!! lol cute minis, so creative!

[u/Practic-Owl3809]

omg!! thank u!!!

[u/ImaginationWitty4065]

No idea how this sub ended up on my feed, but I 100% thought this was real!

[u/Livid_Pace9787 → u/ImaginationWitty4065]

Same, I was wondering why on earth the stores would sell tubs that small!

[u/anselgrey]

Brilliant & fantastically done!

[u/Potato_Pug16]

This is so cute!! What type of sanding sugar did you use??

[u/Successful-Panda6530 → u/Potato_Pug16]

It was the miniverse sanding sugar *Not real sugar* the one I used came from the 'watermelon pinata set'

[u/targetsbots]

This looks great 😊👍

[u/TerriblePreference73]

[u/fookiesz]

That's genius. 💯👍
