Resin Ashtray Pictures – Clear/Blue Gear Ashtray

This is the first resin ashtray I ever made! It is clear resin with little gears inside, and a magnet in the bottom. It also has bright blue resin poured on the bottom, and that is my favorite part!

I made this one for my dad for Christmas, and he wanted gears and a magnet in it because he does not smoke. He wanted to be able to put it up or down somewhere and put magnetic things inside of it so he did not lose them. I really like this idea and I would not have thought of it myself, so I am glad that he did.

When I did the pouring of the blue resin, I expected there to be more noticable drips down the sides, and not just on the top. However, this was not the case, but I like the result anyways. I think that the next time I want to make this kind of effect, I have to let the resin get a little more viscous before I pour it onto the resin item. I am glad that I now know how to do this.

This is not for sale, but if you want something similar, DM me on my Instagram or leave a comment so we can talk about it! I do customs of all the ashtray shapes!

Since I made this ashtray, I have a lot of ideas that include different things from this ashtray. I think it would be a cool idea to include gears and magnets in some ashtrays that I sell for Father’s Day gifts, and things like that. I really think that it would be a super cool idea to include magnets as an option in my custom resin things, even though it would make them a little more expensive.

I also think that it would be really cool to look for more small things online to put into resin things, such as gears or small trees or tiny bricks or papers or anything like that really.

P.S. I have created a new site page for all my resin pictures that I have uploaded so far, and you can access it with this link: https://baileymchatton.com/resin-pictures/

I will be updating it periodically whenever I upload more pictures. If any of you wanted to go check it out, I would really appreciate it.

P.P.S. If you would like a custom ashtray, the general pricing for just color and glitter in my medium to small molds would be $15 locally in Vegas, and $20 if I am shipping it to you. This would be $5 extra if I am using a larger mold, since it takes more resin to make. The general pricing for color, glitter, and flowers or a picture or whatever else you want me to put in it would be $20 locally in Vegas, and $25 if I am shipping it to you. If you would like me to add a magnet in the bottom or the sides, that would be $5 extra. If you wanted something that had more stuff than this, the pricing varies.

Thank you so much for reading my blog post and supporting my journey! It really means a lot to me!
