Failed resin and trying to salvage it.

I have a bunch of failed resin.  They are a bit sticky.  I tried to be careful in the measure for each part.  There are time where it isn't enough and I end up with sticky resin.  So, I didn't want to throw some pieces of shaped resin solely based on stickiness.  My plan: glue them on a piece of fabric with modge podge.  After that, I cut around each resin pieces leaving some fabric around, so I can stitches some seed beads.  Of course, I think to bezel out of seed beads too and maybe do the back if I have the patience to do it on all the pieces.

Of course, it will be a long time project where I will do some here and there when I will have some time.  Meanwhile here are some pieces of resin on sheets of fabric, just before I cut out each pieces:



Of course, what gave me the idea ot do it is the cabochon.  I had done a good batch of cabochon made out of resin.  I gave them the fabric treatment and have started to use seed beads with the cabochon.  I wanted to try that technique.  It wasn't perfect but I wanted to practice more to see if I could have a better result with time.  So, I will have plento of material to practice!
