Direct Answer A handmade 3D resin wall art panel like MEHMAT’s Tree of Life is built in stages: a raw wood board, a tree hand-sculpted in modeling paste, metallic gold detailing, hand-placed clear and red fire glass crystals, and a final high-gloss epoxy pour. Each stage has to dry or cure before the next, which is why MEHMAT’s Resin Collection quotes about 10 days of crafting. You can make something similar yourself, but expect several sessions, a list of materials to buy, and a real learning curve with epoxy.

 

Why the Process Is Worth Understanding

Search for this style of art and you will find two kinds of content side by side: listings from people selling finished pieces, and long tutorials from people making them at home. Both answer the same underlying question: what actually goes into a piece like this? Knowing the process explains the price, the lead time, why no two panels match exactly, and how to care for the finished work. Here is the sequence used for MEHMAT’s Luxury Tree of Life Resin Wall Art, based on the materials listed on the product page and on how the technique generally works.

Step 1: The Wood Board

Every panel begins as a raw, pure-grain wood board, according to the listing. A solid board gives the artwork a rigid, flat base that can carry sculpted paste, crystals, and a layer of resin without flexing, and it is the reason the piece can hang without a bulky frame. The listing also says the back is finished for straightforward wall mounting. In general craft practice, wood is sealed before painting or pouring so that moisture and air trapped in the grain do not cause bubbles or uneven curing later. That preparation is invisible in the finished piece, but it affects how well the piece holds up.

Step 2: Sculpting the Tree in Modeling Paste

This is where the three-dimensional character comes from. The trunk and branches are built up in professional-grade modeling texture paste, a thick, workable compound that can be shaped with tools and holds its form as it dries. Rather than painting a flat tree, the artisan sculpts it, adding bark-like texture to the trunk and letting the branches rise off the board. The listing’s close-up photos show this stage clearly: a plain wood board on one side and the carved tree relief on the other.

Paste cannot be rushed. Thick layers need time to dry all the way through, and drying too fast can cause cracking. That waiting is one of the first reasons handmade panels take days rather than hours.

Step 3: Gold Detailing

Once the relief is dry, the tree is hand-detailed in gold. Here it helps to know the vocabulary. True gold leaf is a very thin sheet of gold, or of imitation metal often called Dutch metal, applied with adhesive. Metallic gold paint or pigment is a coating brushed on. The product title says “gold leaf” and the description says metallic gold, so the safest reading is a gold-toned metallic finish. Either way, the purpose is the same: gold on raised texture catches light along its edges, which is what makes the trunk and branches appear to glow. If the exact material matters to you, ask MEHMAT before ordering.

Step 4: Placing the Fire Glass Crystals

Next come the crystals. The listing describes hundreds of clear and red fire glass crystals, placed by hand along the branches to form the canopy. Fire glass is faceted glass, not gemstone, and hand placement matters more than it sounds. The density and spacing of the crystals control how full or airy the tree looks, and a cluster of red stones among clear ones creates the jewel-like accents visible in the photos. It is also why no two panels are identical: the listing states plainly that small variations in crystal placement and gold texture are normal.

Step 5: The Epoxy Resin Pour

The final stage is the one people photograph. A two-part epoxy, resin plus hardener mixed in the ratio the manufacturer specifies, is poured over the finished artwork and spread so that it encases the crystals and paste in a smooth, glass-like layer. The pour deepens the colours, adds the reflective shine, and protects the texture underneath.

Because epoxy is unforgiving, this is the stage where experience shows. The mix has to be accurate, bubbles need to be released, dust has to be kept off the wet surface, and the piece must stay level while it cures. Epoxy typically becomes hard to the touch within about a day and keeps curing for several days after that, though times vary by product and temperature.

Step 6: Curing, Checking, and Finishing

The work is not finished when the pour ends. In general practice, the panel has to sit level and undisturbed while the epoxy cures, ideally somewhere clean and free of dust, because anything that lands on the surface at this stage becomes part of the finish. Once cured, the surface is checked for flaws such as trapped bubbles, dull patches, or uneven edges, and the back is finished so the board can be mounted cleanly, as the listing describes. Only then is the piece ready to be packed. This is one more reason a made-to-order panel cannot be turned around in a day or two, however skilled the maker.

Why It Takes About 10 Days

Add up the drying and curing between these steps and the timeline makes sense. MEHMAT’s Resin Collection page states that pieces are crafted by hand and customised only after you place your order with advance payment, with about 10 days for crafting and 4 days for delivery, roughly 14 days across Pakistan. That is a made-to-order model: nothing is sitting on a shelf waiting, which is also why custom sizes are possible. It is a good trade for buyers who plan ahead and a poor one for anyone who needs the piece next week.

Can You Make It Yourself? An Honest Comparison

Plenty of people can, and enjoy it. Video tutorials for textured gold-and-crystal tree paintings run from a few minutes to well over an hour, and a small first attempt is a rewarding project. Here is a realistic comparison:

Factor	Making it yourself	Buying handmade
Materials	Board, texture paste, gold leaf or paint, crystals, epoxy resin and hardener, mixing cups, gloves, ventilation, a level surface	None to buy
Your time	Several sessions over days, with drying and curing between them	Order, then wait about 14 days
Skill curve	Sculpting, gilding, and epoxy handling all take practice	Skill is built in
Common problems	Bubbles, cracked paste, dust in the finish, sticky spots from a wrong mix ratio	Handled by the maker; you inspect on arrival
Cost	Materials add up, and a failed first attempt is wasted money	Higher upfront, more predictable
Satisfaction	Very high if you enjoy making things	Very high if you enjoy having them

 

If you want the craft, start small: a 12-inch test board teaches you more than a large panel you are afraid to ruin. If you want a finished statement piece for a specific wall, buying handmade saves the learning curve. Either way, treat epoxy with respect. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, work with good ventilation, wear gloves, and keep it away from children and pets.

What “Handmade” Means for You as a Buyer

Handmade means variation. The listing says every panel is made to order by hand and that small differences in crystal placement and gold texture are normal, part of what makes each one one of a kind. Buyers who want a machine-identical copy of the photo will be disappointed. Buyers who value individuality tend to be delighted. If you would like reassurance about your specific piece, ask MEHMAT on WhatsApp before ordering.

Other Pieces Built With the Same Materials

Fire glass appears elsewhere in the collection too, for example in MEHMAT’s Handmade Luxury Resin Art Wall Clock with White Fire Glass, and epoxy is the star of the Luxury Irregular Resin Mirror Wall Art. Seeing how the same materials behave in different shapes is a good way to decide what you like before choosing.

Packing and Delivery

A glossy, glass-like panel is fragile in transit, so packing matters. The listing does not describe how MEHMAT packs these pieces, so it is a fair question to ask before you order. Good practice for resin and crystal panels includes soft protection over the face, padded corners, a rigid outer carton, and clear fragile and this-side-up markings. The 4-day delivery leg on the Resin Collection page covers the courier journey, which is why the inspection step on arrival matters so much.

What to Do When It Arrives

Carry the box upright and open it on a flat, padded surface. Check the resin surface for chips, cracks, or scratches, check that the crystals are secure, and check the size and design against your order. MEHMAT’s return policy asks you to inspect your order on reception and contact them immediately if an item is damaged, defective, or wrong, so take photos or a short unboxing video as you open it. Then read our care guide and FAQ before you hang it.

The Bottom Line

A handmade Tree of Life resin panel is the product of several patient stages: sculpting, gilding, setting crystals, and pouring. That is what you are paying for, and it is why the timeline is measured in days rather than hours. For price, sizes, and buying details, see our full review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is resin wall art made?

A wood board is built up with a sculpted paste relief, finished in gold, set with crystals, and sealed under a poured epoxy layer, with drying or curing time between the stages.

How long does it take to make?

MEHMAT’s Resin Collection page states about 10 days of crafting plus 4 days of delivery, roughly 14 days in total across Pakistan.

What is modeling texture paste?

A thick, moldable compound used to build raised relief. It can be shaped with tools and hardens as it dries, which is how the tree gets its 3D form.

What is fire glass?

Faceted glass crystals. They sparkle like gems but are glass, not gemstones, which keeps handmade pieces affordable.

Is epoxy resin safe to work with?

Uncured epoxy needs care: work with good ventilation, wear gloves, follow the maker’s instructions, and keep it away from children and pets. Once cured, resin is a common decor material.

Can I make Tree of Life resin art at home?

Yes, many people do. Expect several sessions, a list of materials, and a learning curve with sculpting and epoxy. A small 12-inch test piece is a sensible start.

Why is handmade resin art expensive?

Materials, hours of hand work, drying and curing time, one-off production, and the risk of a failed pour all add up, and no two pieces can be mass produced.

Does resin art turn yellow?

Epoxy can yellow over time with strong UV exposure. MEHMAT’s listing advises keeping the piece out of direct, prolonged sunlight.

Are two pieces ever identical?

No. The listing says small variations in crystal placement and gold texture are normal in a handmade piece.

Can I request a custom size?

Yes. The listing offers custom sizing on request, so message MEHMAT on WhatsApp with your wall measurements.

How should a resin panel be packed for delivery?

Good practice is soft protection over the face, padded corners, a rigid outer carton, and clear fragile markings. Ask MEHMAT how your piece will be packed.
