Functional Art Supply List

Below I've copied all the supplies you may need. Keep in mind that you probably already have many of these supplies and most pouring formulas will work with what we're doing for the project. So feel free to substitute where you need to and take advantage of what you already have. I've also uploaded a pdf file of these supplies you can use as well.

Lazy Susan Specific Supplies

Wood Rounds – I use 12”, 15” & 18” edge glued rounds, I purchase these at Home Depot or Menards, they are approx.. 1” thick. These are very cost effective as they are about $8 for the 18”

• From Amazon: This is only ½” thick however if it is a solid piece of wood it would probably work and not warp if prepped properly, you would have to use much shorter screws though
• From Ikea: You would need to sand the finish and then use primer, but this option already has the mechanism attached
• From any Home Store: You could also purchase an inexpensive lazy susan from any home store, but the cost will be higher, and you would need to be sure it is prepped properly. If you do purchase a pre-made lazy susan you would not need to purchase the mechanism

Lazy Susan mechanisms – I purchase my round mechanisms on Etsy or Amazon, and the 6” square mechanism can be found at most large hardware stores as well as Amazon or Etsy.

¾” #10 wood screws

Small Drill Bit (optional)

Gel Bumpers – To protect bottom of lazy susan and add grip

Torch (optional for helping pop bubbles)

For prepping

• Sanding block or sand paper for the rough edges

• Painter’s tape to tape the back side of the rounds

General Acrylic Pouring Supplies

Paints – Acrylic paint (Amsterdam, Liquitex Basics, Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, etc)

• Interior House paint will also work if thinned properly

Containers and stir sticks for mixing your paints

Pouring Medium - I mix all of my paints with my pouring medium at a ratio of 1 part paint to 2-3 parts medium to get the consistency I want

• 4 c. Floetrol strained
• 1 c. Elmer’s Glue All
• ¼ c. Liquitex Pouring Medium
• ¼ c. water

For Finishing Coat

• Resin, I recommend using a brand that is heat safe - I use Counter Culture DIY Artist Resin, it is cured in 3 days to 500 degrees heat safe, you will need a torch for resin. In Canada I have heard great things about ArtWorks Resin, their Liquid Diamonds is heat safe to 248F
  • Minwax Polycrylic High Gloss Varnish and nice varnishing brush (DO NOT use Polyurethane based varnishes it will turn your art work yellow
  • Liquitex High Gloss Varnish and nice varnishing brush
