I use holographic window clings in my molds to get this effect even tried it on a cup which was cool. But I havent seen it used for chocolate ! I'll have to go watch that. So pretty
They are all so very pretty! I first saw this holographic window film that you can get off Amazon. On Sandra lett's Channel where she did a free-form bowl using NO colors at all just resin and the film. And a set of coasters she did the SAME way. They are so cool. Since I only started watching Tumblr tutorials probably 5 months ago? I've wanted one of you to do exactly this method on one of your cups. JUST USING the FILM and resin.. NO colors added at all. I BET THAT would MAKE for a awesome & unusual 1 of a kind cup! Because with the holographic film the best dispersion of the prisms is from the film itself it shows best to use Clear resin and no colors added. You can make a Suncatcher with the ones you made.💗👍
@@Luxinda 😆 I knew you'd like that! Are you going to buy some holographic window film? And try it on a tumbler with just clear resin? That would be so flipping gorgeous & unusual NOBODY else has done it! I might want to add somebody I watched used their holographic film with just clear resin.. BUT then they put glitter in it and I thought oh that's going to look really pretty. Unfortunately the glitter overpowered the prism that the holographic window covering creates! That was NOT on a tumbler by the way. It's been over a year since I saw Sandra lett's freeform bowl and coasters.. so you might have to go into her playlist to find them. Love your projects can't wait to see more!💗
I also saw the holographic film on Sandra Lett’s channel. I bought some and made a gorgeous blue glittery tray with it. Since I wanted the tray to have a smooth finish, I put a thin layer of clear over it. That made the beautiful rainbow effect go away since the clear filled in the texture. 😭 I’m guessing that is what will happen on a tumbler too unless you leave the film’s texture as the final layer. There was so much window film left over that I put some on my kitchen window, and every evening it makes my walls look like they’ve been tie dyed. It’s super cool! 💜
Yes, that would definitely be an issue - the holo resin layer would absolutely have to be the final layer with absolutely nothing over it, even a spray varnish. Not sure how practical (I’m sure the holo would wear off with handling and washing the cup), but it could be lovely just to look at!
It's very tricky sometimes, because that's what the inks always want to do is go to the center. The thing most folks do is keep putting new inks drops along the outside. When those move toward the center, put more at the outside, etc., until there really isn't any more room. It's not perfect, but with practice you can judge things to come out more like what you want. I hope this helps a little!
Hi lovely video, but was just thinking with your shapes not been fully opaque, they would probably make a beautiful sun catcher if you hung them near a window.
Yes, yes you are! I was spared for awhile - other neighborhoods in my area got them weeks earlier - but they finally emerged at my house, too. The noise - wow!
Yes, as long as you take care of the molds (gentle washing between uses and using mold release spray), you should be able to get many holographic resin pieces from the molds before the holographic effect wears out. Thanks!
Excellent question! The first piece I used was pretty much ruined when I yanked it off (that was the unfortunate moment I didn’t have my camera on). But! The second piece of holo film I used to make the silicone mat is still in perfect condition, so I should definitely be able to use it again for something, maybe try to make a better silicone mat that doesn’t have a bald spot in the middle. So, yes, if the film isn’t damaged, it can definitely be reused.
Possibly, yes. I'm pretty sure if I'd made the black resin opaque black, that would've shown the holo effect much better, and probably stirring mica in, which also makes resin opaque, it would've shown off the holo better, as well. I plan on trying these again using different colorants than this time, which was a first-try experiment. Thanks!!
I really don’t have a clear answer for you. All handmade silicone molds tend to wear out with repeated use, so these will too, but I don’t know how many pours you’ll get before the holo doesn’t appear in the resin anymore. The use of mold release - both before pouring resin and again after demolding - will significantly prolong the life of the molds, so that will definitely help.
I suspect it will wear off with time and repeated use. I am using mold release spray both before and after I pour resin in, so that will help. But I would be very surprised if the holo super-fine etched lines don't wear out at some point. Thank you!!
I don’t see why not, as long as the uv light can get all the way through the resin to cure it. So it might not work with uv resin that’s been colored with a dense black. In that case, the resin actually touching the mold might still be uncured when you demold. You’d need to experiment with that a bit to see what happens. But any color uv resin that the uv light can shine through should work fine.
Holographic film is used to make the blank that the mold is made from, so the microscopic etched lines that make the holo effect transfer from the blank into the mold. Then when resin is poured into the mold, the holo etched lines transfer from the mold into the resin.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel 😊 The molds can be reused many times and the holo effect will happen on its own each time, no need to do anything else but add resin.
Hey I don't know if you follow Naptime Creations? She just put up a new video using holographic film with a different pattern a flower. She also links at the end the regular holographic prism design which this lady has created in her coasters. In the Coasters you bought. Trish at naptime just makes her own using silicone caulking and hot glue for the mold
My favorite is the butterfly, but they all look great
☺️
Thank you!! Yes, the butterfly one was really pretty!😊🦋
Yup Juli’s molds are the best. Good quality and made with love.
Loved watching you play with new toys!. Would make a beautiful windchill with all that sparkle and holo.
Not windchill. Windchime. Darn autospell.
Thanks! Yes, I think that would be very cool!
LOL! I knew what you meant :)
Oh I saw Anne Reardon's hologram chocolate. It looked fantastic!
As do these, Luxinda!
Thanks!
Cool effect. Great idea with the holographic wrap.
Definitely! Thank you!
I use holographic window clings in my molds to get this effect even tried it on a cup which was cool. But I havent seen it used for chocolate ! I'll have to go watch that. So pretty
It’s pretty amazing stuff! Thanks!
What happened when you tried it on a cup?
Love this
Thanks!
So pretty!

So much fun, and beautiful shots at the end! Am I also hearing the drone of the Cicadas in the background?
Yes, yes you are! I was spared for awhile - other neighborhoods in my area got them weeks earlier - but they finally emerged at my house, too. The noise - wow!
@@Luxinda That's nuts! We haven't had a problem here in MA.
@@wtglb thankfully they’re completely gone now 🥳
@@Luxinda You're good for another 17 years!!
@@wtglb
Do they only come every 17 years?
Will it do that look more than the first time
Yes, as long as you take care of the molds (gentle washing between uses and using mold release spray), you should be able to get many holographic resin pieces from the molds before the holographic effect wears out. Thanks!
Will the holographic film transfer more than once?
Excellent question! The first piece I used was pretty much ruined when I yanked it off (that was the unfortunate moment I didn’t have my camera on). But! The second piece of holo film I used to make the silicone mat is still in perfect condition, so I should definitely be able to use it again for something, maybe try to make a better silicone mat that doesn’t have a bald spot in the middle. So, yes, if the film isn’t damaged, it can definitely be reused.
I wanted to get these however the international shipping to Canada is way too high. Anyone know of an alternative?
I don’t, but hopefully someone else here will.
That is cool. Do u think if you did the mica powder with resin then poor it. It would make the holographic pop more? But they turn out cool.
Possibly, yes. I'm pretty sure if I'd made the black resin opaque black, that would've shown the holo effect much better, and probably stirring mica in, which also makes resin opaque, it would've shown off the holo better, as well. I plan on trying these again using different colorants than this time, which was a first-try experiment. Thanks!!
How long does the holographic effect last? Will it eventually not be there after so many pours eventually? Very cool!!
I really don’t have a clear answer for you. All handmade silicone molds tend to wear out with repeated use, so these will too, but I don’t know how many pours you’ll get before the holo doesn’t appear in the resin anymore. The use of mold release - both before pouring resin and again after demolding - will significantly prolong the life of the molds, so that will definitely help.
@@Luxinda thank you! That makes sense!! Thanks for the reply!!
Love these.. Do you think the holo effect will wear off the mold after multiple uses?
I suspect it will wear off with time and repeated use. I am using mold release spray both before and after I pour resin in, so that will help. But I would be very surprised if the holo super-fine etched lines don't wear out at some point. Thank you!!
I was wondering the same thing.
Can you use UV resin with holographic molds?
I don’t see why not, as long as the uv light can get all the way through the resin to cure it. So it might not work with uv resin that’s been colored with a dense black. In that case, the resin actually touching the mold might still be uncured when you demold. You’d need to experiment with that a bit to see what happens. But any color uv resin that the uv light can shine through should work fine.
The two that are not black i like looks good....the black ones no......Did great on the others
Thanks for watching!
How does that work??? Holographic transfers???
Holographic film is used to make the blank that the mold is made from, so the microscopic etched lines that make the holo effect transfer from the blank into the mold. Then when resin is poured into the mold, the holo etched lines transfer from the mold into the resin.
Cool
Thanks!
I love it!! After you use the mold once do you have to refill it with holographic chards? Thanks!! Newly subscribed!
