Geode resin art is one of the most visually striking and meditative forms of epoxy work — mimicking the look of natural gemstones using layers of resin, pigments, and crystals.
If you’ve ever admired those shimmering, layered artworks and wondered how to make your own, this guide breaks down everything you need — materials, tools, and what to avoid as a beginner.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Geode Resin Art
- Prepare the Base - Seal your MDF or wooden board with a primer coat of clear resin. Once dry, outline your geode design lightly with a pencil.
- Mix Your Resin - Use 1:1 ratio (resin:hardener) and mix slowly for 3–5 minutes. Divide into small cups for different colors.
-
Pour the Layers - Start from the center outward. Pour darker colors first, followed by lighter tones. Add gold or silver metallic lines between sections for a luxurious finish.
- Add Crystals & Texture - Place crushed glass or stones while the resin is still tacky. Avoid overloading the center — balance texture and clarity.
- De-Bubble & Cure - Gently pass a torch or heat gun 6–8 inches away from the surface to remove bubbles.
