If you love resin crafting but are always looking for new colours, moulds, embellishments and creative ideas to try, the Resin D’Etre Supplies Journey Into Resin boxes could be right up your street.
We recently got our hands on one of the Journey Into box (Journey into the Ocean) and, honestly, this was one of those resin deliveries where the more you unpacked, the more you found. As it was the summer holidays, I had my kids help with the unpacking and they were even more excited than I was!
So, is a Resin D’Etre Journey Into box worth the money? What do you actually get inside? And would we recommend one for resin beginners?
Let’s take a closer look.
What is a Resin D’Etre Journey Into Resin Box?
The Journey Into Resin boxes from Resin D’Etre Supplies are themed monthly resin crafting boxes packed with a selection of creative supplies.
Rather than receiving one simple resin kit containing everything needed to make a single project, these boxes give you a much wider selection of resin crafting materials to experiment with.
The contents can include things like what we received in this month’s box:
- Resin pigment pastes
- Mica powders
- Glitters
- Chrome powders
- Chameleon powders
- Handmade silicone moulds
- Bezels
- Charms
- Beads
- Inclusions
- Metallic pens
- Presentation boxes and tags
- Mixing supplies
- Gloves
- And plenty more
One of the things we particularly love is that the boxes encourage you to experiment rather than simply following one set project. We also found that lots of the supplies came in handy for not just resin but a huge range of craft projects. That makes them especially appealing if you are still discovering what type of resin art you enjoy.
What was inside our Resin D’Etre box?
This particular box was absolutely packed with goodies.
There was a fantastic mixture of resin pigments, moulds, glitters, inclusions and embellishments, take a look at our unboxing video to see the utterly huge haul that you get!

We found everything from beautiful speciality powders and pigment pastes through to decorative inclusions and jewellery-making supplies.
And that’s where this box really stood out.
It wasn’t just a box of random resin supplies.
The contents had clearly been chosen to work together, while still giving you plenty of creative freedom.
You could use the materials for jewellery, keyrings, decorations, coasters, ornaments and a whole host of other resin projects.
The thing we loved most: the variety
If you’re anything like us, one of the most exciting parts of resin crafting is discovering a new material and wondering:
“What can I make with this?”
The Journey Into box gives you plenty of those moments.
There were so many different textures, colours and finishes to experiment with that we immediately started making a list of projects we wanted to try.
Speciality powders such as chrome and chameleon effects can add completely different finishes to resin compared with standard mica powders, while glitters, charms and inclusions allow you to personalise your projects. It’s a great way of getting out of a creative rut.
If you’ve been making the same resin coasters or jewellery pieces over and over again, opening a box like this can give you a whole new collection of materials to play with.
Is the Resin D’Etre Journey Into box good for beginners?
Yes — with one small caveat.
If you’re completely new to resin, you may not immediately know what to do with every item in the box.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, we think it’s one of the biggest advantages.
A beginner resin crafter can use the box as an opportunity to experiment with different techniques and materials without having to buy full-size packs of every pigment, glitter or embellishment individually.
It can also help you discover which products you actually enjoy using. Maybe you’ll discover that you love chameleon powders. Perhaps you’ll become obsessed with chrome effects. Or you might discover that making resin jewellery is much more your thing than making coasters.
That’s part of the fun.
And if you’re completely new to resin, don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything immediately. There are plenty of resin tutorials and guides available to help you learn how to use different materials safely and effectively.
Is it good value for money?
This is probably the biggest question when buying any resin mystery or monthly box.
Based on the box we received, we were mega impressed with the amount of crafting material included. I honestly would have spent a fortune buying each of these individually!
Instead of purchasing a single pigment or embellishment at a time, you’re getting a whole selection of materials to experiment with.
Resin D’Etre’s previous Journey Into boxes are priced at around £45-£60, although pricing and contents can vary between boxes. The current Mystery Boxes section is priced at £60. These do sell out super quick though but you can secure yours for a £5 deposit.
Is it actually a monthly subscription?
The Journey Into concept is designed around regular themed resin boxes, with new themes and contents giving you something different to discover.
However, the best bit is, you don’t have to subscribe, instead you can pay a one off fee each month.
What could you make with a Journey Into box?
The possibilities will depend on the contents of your particular box, but you could potentially use the supplies for projects such as:
- Resin earrings
- Resin pendants
- Keyrings
- Coasters
- Bookmarks
- Resin decorations
- Trinket dishes
- Jewellery
- Bag charms
- Shaker projects
- Resin cabochons
- Small home décor pieces
- Gifts
