Boxometry Darby Smart August 2015 Review - Supplies

Product: Dried Flowers (Flowerfetti)
Retail Value: $2.75

The dried flowers are from Flowerfetti, a store specializing in flower confetti for events like weddings.

Product: EnviroTex Jewelry Resin
Retail Value: $12.00

This is a clear resin used for the bangle mold. You mix two equal parts from each bottle. Complete curing takes 48 hours, which is normal for most resin molds.

Product: Reusable Plastic Jewelry Mold
Retail Value: $3.99

The bangle mold is too big for my wrist (I have tiny wrists), so I need to purchase a smaller one or perhaps make a pendant or earrings instead.

ProductsRetail Value
Dried Flowers (Flowerfetti) $2.75
EnviroTex Jewelry Resin $12.00
Reusable Plastic Jewelry Mold $3.99
Total $18.74

Final Thoughts: I think this is a fun and cute DIY project. Although they included a bangle mold, you can use the supplies to make anything you want. The dried flower petals are really pretty, and would look good in a pendant, earrings, clear cellphone case, coasters, and just about anything you can think of. The value of the supplies is just about the cost of the box.
