All about Shakers!
What is a Shaker?
My shaker keyrings are beautifully crafted resin accessories that combine visual appeal with sensory delight.
Each shaker keyring features a sturdy resin casing filled with mineral oil and an array of delightful inserts, like glitter, tiny charms, or other decorative elements. When shaken, these pieces move fluidly inside, creating a captivating, sparkly display that is as fun to watch as it is to carry.
How do you make them?
Creating a shaker keyring is a meticulous, multi-step process:
- Casting the Case: First, the resin for the casing is carefully mixed and poured into a mould. This step involves precise measurements and a keen eye for detail to ensure the perfect shape and finish.
- Curing: The resin is left to cure for 24hrs, hardening into a durable, transparent casing that forms the base of the shaker keyring.
- Adding the Fillings: Once the casing is fully cured, I add mineral oil along with the chosen inserts, such as glitter, tiny charms, or other decorative elements that will move and shimmer inside the keyring.
- Sealing and Finishing: The shaker is then sealed with a layer of acetate and topped with UV resin to create a smooth, durable surface. This final layer is cured under UV light to ensure a perfect, crystal-clear finish.
Why I make Shakers
Shaker keyrings are more than just a fun accessory; they are designed with purpose and care. As someone who understands the unique sensory needs of individuals with AuDHD (Autism and ADHD), I create these keyrings to serve as a portable, stylish visual stim. The gentle movement of the pieces inside, combined with the vibrant colours and sparkles, provides a soothing sensory experience that can help with focus, relaxation, and stress relief.
By making these keyrings into something you can carry with you, I hope to offer a tool that’s not only beautiful but also functional, allowing you to stim whenever and wherever you need to, without drawing unwanted attention. It’s my way of combining artistry with utility, crafting something that brings joy and comfort to those who need it most.
What is Stimming?
Stimming, short for self-stimulatory behaviour, refers to repetitive actions or movements that some people use to help regulate their sensory experiences and emotions. For individuals with neurodivergent conditions like Autism and/or ADHD , stimming can be a crucial way to manage sensory input, focus their thoughts, or cope with overwhelming situations. Common forms of stimming include hand-flapping, tapping, spinning objects, or even watching repetitive movements like those inside a shaker keyring.
Stimming isn’t just a coping mechanism—it can also be a source of comfort and joy. By providing a safe and discreet way to stim, tools like shaker keyrings offer a portable and visually appealing option for sensory regulation on the go.
