I just have to say, I love the level of confidence it takes to film yourself experimenting and making goofs. It's very inspiring to watch.
A tip that I thought of while you were pouring the hearts: Add a small layer to all the molds first and gradually top them off. If you need to add more resin, you can add more and give them a gentle stir, this will ensure consistent color between all the pieces.
The leftover resin that you poured on the waxed paper might make a really nice window hanging. The light comes through pretty well. Love this video!!!
Thanks, Sally! I love that idea!
Love that big piece of leftover! Pretty
That flat thing is perfect for a fairy garden pond! Thanks for inviting us to watch you craft. I learned a lot and I can't wait to try making resin treasures.
ooo, thats a great idea!
Hi! I'm a Soaper that's expanding my art as I want to sell at Ren faires and festivals. Soap uses mica and some of the same pour techniques. I would suggest that you use less mica. The amount you used is what I would use in two pounds of soap. It doesn't take much. Hope this helps. Finding your channel has been a major help to me
You saved my life with the soapy water trick. I had resin rage on trying to get some pendants out a few nights ago.
omg, resin rage is a Mood!
It seriously was a mood. Haha
This is a great demonstration. I especially liked the "gemstones." One thought for the flat resin that you poured in a puddle. When you curled up one end of it, it looked like a wave on a beach. Maybe a thought for your fairy house - a beach wave frozen in time!
that last one on the wax paper would look lovely as a sun catcher
The faceted gems are STUNNING. Less is deffo more. You should keep those scraps and combine them into one big pour. Make some cool wall art maybe. Also play around with sand. Use the materials that sink to your advantage. Imagine a pendant with a pointed crystal tip, the tip is shimmery sand, going into a crystal clear aqua blue, let that half set after a hour then a nice clear.
you are full of brilliant ideas! Thank you!
And you’re not limited. Could use soil, the let that set then add a green layer, then some small dried flowers in a light blue and then more blue for sky. Or imagine if you cast one of your wire and stone trees inside a sphere of amber, the roots all twisted on the bottom half. There’s a lot of down sides to using this product but the REALLY special creations are the ones where you use those flaws to make something beautiful.
@@TrueTydin wow..thank you...I love the clear..but I want to make cabs to wrap that look more "nature" inspired...plus I'm limited on funds to spend on inks & powders..I do have food color..acrylic paint, nail polish & mica looking body powders..aluminum foil..lol. I purchased the semiprecious cabs but I want something unique🤦♀️🤭!
That would make a Great Lake for a fairy garden!
I have been making resin jewelry for a few months, here are my tips. Alcohol inks can prevent resin from setting. Yes, a little pigment goes a long way. I use the plastic lids from disposable aluminum pans to cover my castings. Experiment experiment experiment. As usual, you just taught me about putting metallic nail polish on the back. I am going to try that right now.
I love your episode. I'm just learning and I need to find molds like yours I loved them
@Yvonne Williams A trick I used when making prosthetic mold pouring silicone (cause that shit is $$$$) Before I pour I take rice and pour that into my mold to see how much silicone I will need. I now never have too much or wasted product. Also If I a molding from molds like you have it write with sharpie on handle how much to fill the whole mold and how much just one of the shapes from the mold takes. Leaves guessing game out of it. Awesome job!! Thank you for sharing your learning process, it is so helpful. Also that blue left over resin look like a fin or coral. I love the idea of resin fairy wings but would it get too heavy? PS if you let the resin cure till is get gelly like then add the pigments they will not sink to the front.
Add lines on the pouring cups in measurements so you know.
Instablaster...
Thank you for the tips...I appreciate you!
Hi I am enjoying your resin beginners episodes with my leftover resin i make little pours of theme items eg. Rainbow with sun, clouds, water drops etc and make windchimes or/and mobiles, - your pretty transparent coloured objects look beautiful with the sun shining through. To get the bubbles out I use the gaslighter over my work only takes a few seconds.Hope it helps.
Love the end sheet pour. Looks like a galaxy sheet against the light
ooo, it does! Thanks Brenda!
I love that you are sharing while learning and growing your own skills.
I have only done one resin project so I’m glad to see this.
I wasn’t sure how much to mix so before starting I added water to molds, poured it off and then measured water. That helped to make enough resin without wasting it. It worked for me anyway.
Ice job Yvonne. Thanks for sharing
That first round blue piece you revealed is really gorgeous. I loved all the pieces you made. Thankyou for sharing.
I love the idea of making lilies and roses with the extra and also the wings and sun catchers you are incredible
love the colors.. I use a torch or heat gun to pop the bubbles. ty for the tip about the warm water and soap on the tubes. would love to see how you finish them
I appreciate your calm demeanor and enjoyed your creations. I'm just beginning this process, starting with making molds for resin projects. Nice job! 💙
You didn't lollygag! I loved your work as always. I have some resin I haven't even opened yet because shopping is easier than making and I think I chickened out. You made me want to give it a try because it looks pretty easy.
I'm also a beginner when it comes to working with resin and a good tip someone told me was; when coloring your resin remember less is more, adding tons of pearl x and dyes will over dye your resin so that your pieces come out way to dark and pouring a clear batch first before you pour a colored batch can make your pieces look better...if your doing just glitter and resin than its not always necessary to do a clear pour first.., also even if you have a tiny bit of resin left, you should pour into a small resin mold or combine colors if you have more than one left over..hope this helps..
This is very helpful, thank you!!
Very cool! Can't wait to see what you make with them! Those ones with the powder came out amazing, love the metallic-y-ness!
The resin spill looked like the universe with gas clouds and stars from the bubble holes........ love watching your vids.
The Flat resin could make a nice pond for a Fairy garden or yard.
Looks like so much fun. If you poured the left over into smaller patches maybe you could use them like the amber chunk in the tree of life sun catcher.
You are adorable, you know that? :) Thank you for sharing this. I just acquired some resin and I'm too afraid to use it (expensive!) but watching you will help me not waste my supply. I hope. Eee...
Love how the last crystal mold came out almost veiny so pretty.
Peter Brown's Shop Time channel does a lot of resin projects. I bet you'd get some great tips and ideas!
Thanks, Janx! I will check them out :)
omg i love legend of Zelda!!! that whole series is definitely one of my favorites of all time!!!
I love to play with resin. You can make a lot of stuff for jewelry making .
lol, Patricia I have fallen deeply and madly in love with resin!!! Its so Versatile!
Just wanted to drop you a note, I love all the video's I've seen so far. Keep up the good work. Also love the way you are laid back, plus nice tips and n tricks.
You could use the poured resin to cut shapes out and make a mosaic, suncatcher, or lampshade.
to let you know heat gets rid of bubbles use a long lighter works well,and to get your resin to set hard you have to stir the resin for 3 mins.
What about a sun catcher with the pour onto wax paper, maybe set into a steel hoop. I don't mean to think or create for you, but you are such a delightful creative muse.
I love your videos. So relaxing and interesting. Nice background music too.
Hi Yvonne. Another great tutorial. I find that using a hair dryer on a medium heat but a gentle blow (if that makes sense) will help to rid your castings of bubbles without causing you to become light headed.
Very beautiful... Suncatcher also
WOW, beautiful results!!! THANKS for sharing it with us!!
“Randy’s Rubies” sounds like a business name. : )
Thanks for sharing keep making cool videos please ! : )
Great tutorial. Thanks helped me out alot
Does anyone else tip their phone while she is pouring into the molds.....lol
I don't realize it till my phone is sideways.
I love those first ones that came out of the little red mold & Rany's sapphires are beautiful. Love the translucent.
Looks like a pond or lake.....for in front of fairy garden....just first thing that came to mind
I didn’t tip my phone but I did crane my neck to look around Yvonne’s hand to see the bubbles pop.
yes,, :) and when she goes off camera or her hands in the way, i look around. cracks me up how weird I am
So excited to see this video I remember asking you about this (resin and molds for making layered eyes) a while ago.
:-D I still have quite a bit to learn, but I am excited to start layering more!
I've only made a few Resin items, but by gum, it's addicting isn't it Yvonne?! Thank you for sharing, so loving it all! xx
An idea for your leftover resin from the wax paper: maybe use some mod podge to attach a photo on the front and treat it as a "pseudo" picture frame? I just started working with resin and really appreciated your tips and openness to share your successes and failures with your first few attempts :)
Gorgeous work
Vonn, you can actually get a stained glass effect for jewelry by making a nouveau style frame with wire, using packing tape to back the frame, and then gently filling the frame with colored resin. I’ve done it before, but only recently learned that in order to get the nice stained glass effect, you have to use colored India ink to tint the resin. :D
I enjoyed your 2nd learning experience, which was also a visual learning for me. When I saw your leftover resin I immediately thought of a wall sconce lamp shade. When the light is on it will shine through as it did when you held it up to the window. Even the tiny holes from the air bubble will shine light through and be very cool. IMHOI if you plan to start selling your products you need to make sure the animals are not allowed in your craft room and to ensure no hairs or dust drift in use a canned air duster. Many people are allergic to dust and animal hair and food (nuts, strawberries etc) so ensure every thing is wiped clean with alcohol before sending. Also if you cover the resin in the molds as they dry you will reduce the introduction of airborne particles as before mentioned. Also invest in a level if you don't have one so that your molds are level as the dry. Inside that banker box lid was probably not level. Loved your video, you speak well, your camera was in the right place 95% of the time and you gave understandable descriptions of what you were doing. Keep it up and I will keep watching. Best of luck.
I love the flower idea!!
As soon as you said "ok Google" it activated my Google assistant and freaked me out. Omg lol
Adrienne Kain That happens to me every time I watch ROSEANNE, my voice & hers are very similar. I listen to TV while watching videos, scares the crap out of me, but still very funny and another you tuber channel I watch & I sound similar & will happen while I'm watching her too.
Great video, I've been concerned about mixtures. I don't like measurements either!
I finally talked myself into buying some resin, but now I'm procrastinating on playing with it until I plan out my project lol
That leftover hunk of resin would look awesome as a background piece for like displaying your jewelry at your booth!
Me too! Bought resin with a 60% off coupon 3 days ago, now I am doing everything possible to procrastinate getting started! I have done every craft imaginable over 40 years, and it is only this resin stuff that intimidates me!
w50mf1f I still havent started mine lol I dont want to waste it and mess up
Mandi Armalius I finally took a deep breath and did it!! It was easy and now I feel so stupid for being so afraid of it!! Just try it, you will love it!! Just be very careful on the measuring part- that is the most important thing!!
Wow I really love what you did with the resin, I have molds including the Roundball like you have I bought it through your link it's called the little windows I believe it was at Amazon A link you gave,Really new at doing resin especially pouring molds,You make it look so easy.Thank you again for great tutorial.
For the fairy wings when you pull them before they are totally cured and still malleable you can bend the wings a little like in flight.... like u did with trumpet flower
I love watching your experiments! Thanks for bringing us along. When you're comfortable enough, maybe you can experiment with resin & wood?
Beautiful work
Yvonne that blue pour would make an awesome base for a fairy house on a pond with some lilly pads, frogs, and maybe dragon flies on cat tails??? I got the same mod podge molds that you did the other day and I hadn't even watched that video yet..I thought was sorta funny....All the mod podge stuff that goes in them is is colored hot glue so since I already have glittery colored hot glue and a plethora of glue guns I opted for just the molds...but I imagine the work great for resin!!!
The random pour at the end looks like a universe. I think I'd glue crystals over the tiny holes.
You're very good! Thanks!
Baby oil works well to help get the resin out of the molds.
A suggestion: pour some water,sand,salt or anything you wish into your molds and then measure the amount used. That takes all of the guess work and waste out of the process.
Good suggestion for testing for volume. I need to find a material that weighs as much as my resin, so I can test for weight needed.
You could use the resin left over for bracelets and necklace diplay
You could try adding another layer of the mica resin mix to the back of the first set you did, might help balance the color out. Also you can rub mica powder onto the mold and then pour your resin for a different effect.
Would it help to fill the molds with water (ahead of time to give them time to dry back out) to about the same level you want the resin to be, then pour the water into a measuring cup or just a regular cup, then mark or write down how much you will need?
I haven't done anything with this resin I got yet, but when I do, I am wondering how to gauge how much I will need. The only thing I could come up with would be to just measure the amount in water, then mix that same amount of resin when the time comes to actually make something with the resin.
That is exactly how to do it. Or even better, if you have a syringe, see exactly how many ml of water you put in, then you can even write on top of each mold how much they each contain so you remember til next time.
I know someone else wrote to use rice ,but you will still have space between the grains of rice so the measurements will be a bit off.
That was going to be my next comment. Unfortunately you won't have any cool leftover colored resin to invent totally cool things with. Exacto knife or cookie cutters or random shapes and mosaic, the list is endless.
awesum love your videos xo Rock On!
That final flat piece is so pretty! what if you incorporated one into your fairy gardens? like a transparent swirly portal instead of a door, now I'm just sat thinking of possibilities... lol sometimes you inspire me too much
Those are really super cool!!
Swimming Hole For a Fairy Garden... or Windows for the Fairy Houses? that last pour really looks like a POND... Oops, now it's a flower. LOL
These are GORGEOUS!!! Wonder if you could do butterflies with the final pour on the wax paper. Just cut them in to parts and pieces.
I love that you said lollygag you are so fun and informative
great video!
We are using resin on the bathroom floor and to get the bubbles out we just use a torch\lighter just wave it over the top and no more bubbles also the flat price you did on the wax paper try heating it with the heat gun I bet you may be able to cut it.
Oooh I didn't know you could sand the resin pieces. Can you do a video to show how please?
You are beautiful person, thank you for sharing, I love the results👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Awesome stuff
not sure if you read old comments but what the left over resin reminded me of is stain glass ..
Really loving the Zelda ❤️🙂
you are one of the best crafters I have ever watched. Very smooth and descriptive and relaxing. I truly enjoy your projects and videos. So thank you ! :) for the last part that you poured on the wax paper, is it possible to cut it into the shapes you would want? or would it not cut good?
Wow beautiful colors great video
I love the way you think ❤️💋
I love your video on resins. I am wondering if you could pour some of the clear resin in the molds if big enough and then add the colored resins and swirl together using something like a toothpick
I enjoyed watching this video. I am just thinking about getting into doing rezin work.
Rubies are red, sapphires are blue, I have the same colored gloves as you ... Lol ... Nice work ... I hate it when my lolly gags ... Next thing we know you will be copying the crown jewels ... Wonderful work ... The leftover piece almost looks like a sea fan coral ... Make a stained glass window ...
James Witte, your reading her right? Cuz we know rubies are red but rupees on the other hand....
James Witte I think she’s saying rupies not rubies
Shoot now I did it lol rupees
You could maybe use a handheld frother for mixing the micca powders, they can be super cheap on amazon and they'll smoothly integrate them ^^
love them
If you are still making fairy houses, you could cut out little stained glass windows from that large piece of marbleized resin.
Sharing the Bounty Or even a stained "glass" piece. Good work.
Nice demonstration, just wanted to ask that what would you do with the plain moulds which has no holes in it??
Oh. Can you cut that flat piece or use an exacto knife on it? Maybe a fairy wing wind chime?
Hello. Im do happy to have found this video. It will be so helpful to me when I get my order from amazon. Btw will a hairdryer bend the blue piece you have leg over. ?? Like to create a mask for cosplay. ?
Make it into a jewelry display :)
Love this. It was so neat. OMGosh. If you use clear resin in a mold, is it possible to put like a small flower or charm in the resin and let it harden?
I was curious about that.
I've never done any of the crafts you've shown, but I think I'd like to try, just for fun.
I love crafts, just don't know how to do them very well. I'm newly retired, and want something fun to do.
Love everything I've seen you make. I'm still going through past video's, LOVE THEM AND LISTENING TO YOU.
ohhh, love that idea, maybe using hot glue to outline the fairy wings!
Have you tried using a hair dryer, on its hotest setting can get the bubbles out of the resin, i have heard some people saying it works almost as well as a heat gun. Just a thought
Hello Yvonne, Hope all is well ! I found that Dr.Ph Martin's Bombay India Ink has more intense color and greater vibrancy, while still being translucent, compared to the Tim Holtz brand. A little goes a long way. Just the colors as the India ink white and black are very opaque. Also found that layering, allowing the cure in between, yield fantastic results, utilize the matallics last. You have to get used to working backwards, as the front is the bottom of the mold.
I love the way Randy's rubies came out super shiny..where did you get that mold ?
The little windows molds like awesome too...nice high quality. I have to check them out.... What is your take on Resin itself? I have heard that purchasing "bar top" style resin in the gallon is the same product as the smaller "jewelry casting" or "art resin" at a significantly lower price and much more for your money. Would love to see you compare outcomes with the different types and brands. Thanks again for your time and fun to watch tutorial/experiments !
Kindest Regards, Cheryl
Hey, Cheryl! I will have to experiment more with the india ink in resin! I got the rupie mold from JoAnne's but I think it is also available on amazon :) I am really loving resin and learn more each time I work with it! I think I still have so much more to learn, though! I'd love to keep sharing what I discover with yall!
I'm wondering about different paints.....acrylics, oils,...I have on hand..also Lumere ..but don't have alcohol inks right now...have some vintaj too..
I would love to see the projects you used these in...
Cool!
Very Nice, please tell me what the Stuff in the JAR was? BRAND NAME please... look like Turquoise. will keep watching and Thumbing UP !
