This is a simple wooden golf tee, already painted white. You only need the top 15mm for this project.
Cut a 55mm square of artificial grass. This piece was sold as a sample on eBay.
Trim the grass with scissors to neaten it, and drill a hole in the centre the same diameter as your golf tee.
For this project I'm using a 2-part clear epoxy art resin, which has a 2A:1B mix ratio by weight
The first pour shall require 25g
Add some green mica powder to make the resin completely opaque
This is a 65mm cube mould. I buy mine from sellers on eBay.
Pour the resin into the mould and use a flame to quickly pop any surface bubbles
Drop the square of grass into the mould, and press it down so the resin rises up over the rubber mat
Allow the resin to cure until firm
Ensure there are no ladybugs in the grass before doing the next pour
I have prepared about 50g resin, which is just enough to cover the tee
The tee produced quite a few tiny bubbles, so wait for those to stop and pop them with a flame before adding the golf ball
The golf ball will just sit on the surface of the resin, which will hold it in place once cured
Tilt the mould before the next pour to help prevent any air getting trapped under the ball
About 75g resin will reach the half way mark
Don't pour too much resin at once or it may overheat and boil in the mould
Continue to fill the mould in layers, almost to the top
Don't allow the resin to dome at the surface
Take some glitter stickers of a suitable size, and apply them to the surface of the resin to create your message
Use masking tape to create some lines to follow
Take care when removing from the mould as those edges are razor sharp
To finish the piece, dome the surface using more epoxy resin to a depth of 2mm
As long as you don't exceed 2mm it won't overflow
The acrylic gems on the letters vanish in the resin to leave only the backing mirrors visible
