Resin Boxes, Phone Stands and Plant Holders: Home Decor Moulds

Seashell Storage Box Silicone Mold (D0060) - Haanz Sri Lanka
Haanz Art GuideFree, practical advice from the team at Haanz Art & Craft Materials

Resin isn’t only for jewellery. With the right resin box mould or decor mould, you can make trinket boxes, phone stands and plant holders that are useful every day. This Haanz Art Guide covers the home decor moulds we stock and how to assemble multi-part pieces neatly.

Storage and trinket boxes

Box moulds usually come in parts (a base and a lid) that you pour separately and fit together.

Tip: pour the lid and base from the same mix so the colours match.

Phone holder

The Phone Holder Mold makes a resin desk stand. Pour it thick enough to hold a phone securely, and let it cure fully before use. A non-slip pad underneath stops it sliding.

Indoor plant holders

Water cuttings such as money plant look lovely in clear bottles on a colourful resin stand.

How to pour multi-part pieces

  1. Lay out all parts of the mould on a level board.
  2. Measure the total volume with water, then dry the moulds completely.
  3. Mix one batch of resin and colour for all parts, so they match.
  4. Fill thin parts first, such as lids and walls, then the base.
  5. Pop bubbles and cover with a box to keep dust off.
  6. Cure fully before demoulding; walls of boxes are thin and can bend if removed early.
  7. Sand the joining edges lightly so the lid sits flat, then assemble.

Practical tips

  • Keep resin boxes away from strong sun and heat.
  • Don’t store food in resin boxes unless your resin is made for food contact.
  • Wear gloves and work with good air flow. See Resin Safety.

Caring for silicone moulds

Silicone moulds last a long time if you look after them:

  • Demould gently by flexing the silicone. Don’t pull pieces out with tools.
  • Wipe moulds clean with a soft cloth or tape to lift dust. Don’t scrub with anything rough, or the shiny finish of future pieces will suffer.
  • Store moulds flat, out of sunlight, and don’t stack heavy things on top, so they keep their shape.
  • Keep a separate set of moulds for resin only. Food and resin should never share moulds.

Frequently asked questions

My box lid doesn’t fit. What went wrong?

The lid or base may have shrunk or bent slightly while curing. Let pieces cure flat and fully, and sand edges gently.

Can I put water in the plant bottles?

Yes, the indoor plant bottles are made for plants and cuttings. Keep water off the resin stand.

Do you deliver islandwide?

Yes. We deliver across Sri Lanka in 2–5 working days, with cash on delivery, card or bank transfer. You can also visit our shops in Boralesgamuwa and Horana, open every day from 9 AM to 6 PM.
