Shop craft resin for DIY jewellery, art and homewares projects. Our range covers epoxy resin for general craft, UV resin for small fast-set pieces, silicone resin for making your own moulds and Ecrylimer eco resin for stone-look pieces — all stocked and shipped from our Australian warehouse.
Four main resin types cover almost every craft project:
Epoxy resin — the workhorse. Two-part system, cures in 24 hours, ideal for jewellery, coasters and general craft
UV resin — cures under a UV lamp in minutes. Best for small pieces, cabochons and quick jewellery work
Silicone resin — a two-part silicone that cures flexible. The pick for making your own reusable moulds for epoxy or UV resin
Ecrylimer eco resin — an Australian-made, water-based resin that sets to a smooth, stone-like finish. Low odour, ideal for classrooms, coasters and trinket dishes
Popular Craft Resin Projects
Craft resin has become one of the most versatile mediums in the craft cupboard. Common projects include:
Homewares — coasters, trays, serving dishes, small bowls, keyring blanks
Preserving keepsakes — dried flowers, letters, photos, small mementos set inside clear resin
Custom moulds — make your own flexible moulds from silicone resin, then cast in epoxy or UV resin
Choosing the Right Craft Resin for Your Project
Epoxy resin is the right pick for most craft projects. It's forgiving, cures in a day, and works across jewellery, homewares and general craft. Start here if you're new to resin.
UV resin is faster but works only for small volumes — a UV lamp can only cure a thin layer of resin at a time. Best for jewellery cabochons, small pendants and any piece you want finished in ten minutes rather than a day.
Silicone resin cures into a flexible, rubbery material. It's the pick for making your own moulds, not for clear finished pieces. Ecrylimer eco resin is the low-odour, water-based option for stone-look homewares and classroom projects.
What Else You Need for Craft Resin Projects
Resin is only part of the setup. To finish a project you'll also want:
Silicone moulds — the mould defines the shape of your finished piece
Mixing cups and stirrers — for measuring the two-part epoxy accurately
Nitrile gloves — resin is a skin irritant when uncured; never handle it barehanded
Colour pigments and dyes — resin-specific pigments deliver the cleanest results
For resin jewellery — jewellery findings to turn cured pieces into wearable earrings, pendants and keyrings

Craft Resin Frequently Asked Questions
What is craft resin used for?
Jewellery making (pendants, cabochons, earrings), resin art (wall art, coasters, geode-style pieces), homewares (trays, dishes, keyrings), preserving keepsakes, and making your own custom moulds.
What's the difference between epoxy resin and UV resin?
Epoxy is a two-part mix that cures over 24 hours and works for any project size. UV resin is single-part and cures under a UV lamp in minutes but only in thin layers.
Can beginners use craft resin safely?
Yes — with basic PPE. Always wear nitrile gloves, work in a well-ventilated space, and avoid skin contact with uncured resin. Once cured, resin is inert and safe to handle.
Do you stock resin in bulk sizes?
Yes. Larger volumes of epoxy and UV resin are available for artists and resin-based small businesses, with additional trade pricing through Ribtex wholesale.
Where can I buy craft resin in Australia?

Established 1902
About Arbee Craft
The Arbee Business began in 1902. The owner Mr. R.B.Stevens, a leather merchant, started the business to sell his leather items.
The original Arbee business, shop and factory, was in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
By the 1930s Arbee had expanded to make the famous Arbee moccasins. These became well known as they had durable cowhide on the outside and a layer of lambswool on the inside. Arbee made the moccasins for many years and the kits were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. During this time Arbee diversified with some other products that were popular e.g. cane items.
