Resin Bookmark — Build Plan (#15)

Build a slim, feather-light bookmark that marks a page without bulging the book: real pressed flowers sealed in clear resin, finished with a tassel. This 5-page PDF plan (Build Plan No. 15 in the Fox Feather Farms winter series) makes the 6 x 1.5 in (15.2 x 3.8 cm) bookmark at about 3/32 in (2.5 mm) thick — the diagram gives the working range plainly: over 3 mm distorts a binding, under 1.5 mm cracks — at about 15–20 ml of resin each.

Inside: a dimensioned layout diagram, a cut/pour list, a full materials list with per-line costs in Canadian dollars (about $4 typical per bookmark), the tools required, finishes and cure times for both epoxy and UV resin, and a 6-step build summary. Bookmarks are a batch piece by design: one 90–120 ml mix fills a whole 6-cavity mold in a 25–35 minute session. Slim and mini/feather variants, the lead colourways, and adding a vinyl name, initials, or date sealed under a doming coat are all covered. About 12–15 minutes of active work each, batched, with a 72-hour wait before packing.
