How to Start a Resin Art Business from Home in India

Many artists across India now run successful resin businesses from home. They sell keychains, nameplates, trays and wedding keepsakes. You don't need a big investment to start, but you do need a plan. Here's a simple step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Learn and practise first

Before selling, make 15–20 pieces to learn mixing, bubbles, curing and finishing. Start with our first project guide.

Step 2: Choose what to sell

Start with 3–5 products, not 30. Popular choices in India:

• Keychains and bookmarks: low cost, quick to make
• Coasters: easy to sell in sets
• Nameplates: high demand for new homes
• Trays and clocks: higher price, great gifts
• Varmala and flower preservation: premium wedding orders (see our varmala guide)

Step 3: Set up your workspace

• A table near a window or exhaust fan
• Resin kits, moulds, scale, cups, heat gun and safety gear (see the materials list)
• A dust-free area or boxes for curing
• Storage for finished orders

Step 4: Price your work properly

Include resin, materials, packaging, your time and profit. Read How to Price Resin Art Products for an easy formula.

Step 5: Take great photos

Good photos sell resin art. Shoot in natural daylight, use a plain background, and show the shine, the details and the size (for example, held in a hand).

Step 6: Start selling

• Instagram: post reels of pouring and demoulding. These get the most views.
• WhatsApp Business: share a catalogue and take orders directly.
• Local: gift shops, exhibitions, wedding planners and corporate gifting.
• Your own website once orders grow.

Step 7: Orders and delivery

• Take an advance for custom orders.
• Share a design preview before pouring.
• Pack with bubble wrap and corner protection.
• Use a courier service with tracking.

💡 Pro tip: Buy resin in larger packs once you're selling regularly. Bigger kits cost less per gram, which raises your profit on every piece.
