How to Make DIY Resin Lava Lamp Art lamp

1. Prep your mold
   Make sure it’s clean and level. You can use a rectangular tray mold or a round one for that classic lava vibe

2. Mix your resin
   Follow the instructions for your epoxy resin carefully and split it into smaller cups

3. Add color
   Choose bold contrasting colors like neon pinks purples blues and yellows Add pigment to each cup and mix well

4. Pour your base layer
   Start with a dark or black resin base to give it that glowing look

5. Drop and swirl colors
   Pour small puddles of your colored resin and let them slightly blend Use a toothpick or heat gun to move them around in slow swirling motions

6. Use the heat gun for lava effects
   Gently apply heat to move the colors even more and mimic the fluid motion of a lava Be careful not to over mix or you’ll lose the effect

7. Let it cure
   Allow your piece to fully harden per your resin’s instructions

Layering is key Try making a two pour design where the first layer cures partially before adding more color This gives more depth and creates the illusion of floating blobs—just like real lava
