Here's how…
1. Follow directions on box to mix the resin.
2. Add glitter to resin and mix.
3. Pour resin mixture into the top of each lid, carefully smoothing out to get an even layer.

Ta-dah! They're a fun and practical piece for lunch or snacks! If you stack them, we like to secure them together with a thick colorful band.
