I live in the Carribean/Puerto Rico have been collecting beach class for years. We walk our dogs every day on the beach. I have jars and jars of glass. You inspired me to do some creative with glass ❤ Thank you!
That is awesome! I would love to see what you make. You are so lucky I have lived not far from the ocean for years and I have yet to find one piece of sea glass. LOL not sure why
Thank you! I think when i made that video I would set up the glass then remove it then pour the resin then replace the glass. If you watch some of my more recent videos after I set up the glass I just go ahead and pour the resin, much easier. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I would love to see what you end up making if you would like to share it my email is under my about info.
Aww. Sam is 13 years old he was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago. They did not give him long to live and they put him on prednisone and he has been fine ever since. so we are enjoying our time with him. We have 4 other cats also. So sorry to hear about your kitty.
Something to be aware of if you will hang outside, put resin on both sides of the glass. I did an old door with a glass window. Probably single pane as the door is vintage. Well we had a storm and a small rock hit the back side of the window in the corner and then it cracked from end to end. I think if the back side had resin over it it would have been protected. The good part is that the resin on the front held everything together.
@@crazyglasslady yes and it had only been installed for a few days when it happened. Normally our weather is pretty mild. I sent you a picture of the completed door.
I love the height and width of these particular windows, it really sets off your beautiful art work! Thank you for inspiring us and sharing your talent & tips! ~~Christy~~
This is beautiful and exactly what I needed to see today. I'm putting a window over the sink in my daughter's house for light. The room on the other side of the kitchen is her office/craft room and this would still give her light and privacy. Thank you for sharing!
I just can't get enough of your videos. I'm anxious to try my hand at this. Santa 🎅 got me a rock tumbler for Christmas. Lol. Thank you for the inspiration.
Dang it, my husband gave away a tumbler that was his uncles after his uncle passed. I wish I seen this video prior. How do you collect and cut your solid colored glass? Your windows came out beautiful. We have a tree house the previous owners built. The windows are cut out with no windows in them same with the door, cut out but no door. The construction is solid and good. I think they just didn’t get to the finishing touches. From what I understand his job relocated him to another state. He left behind tons of building materials, everything from roofing materials, cherry wood panels, boxes of tiles, rebar, ect. We have used some of the materials and my husband built an extra shed and a greenhouse but we had to purchase the twin wall polycarbonate sheets…they were expensive.
Thank you! I mainly get them from garage sales. Some from thrift stores the prices are going up at the thrift stores. This is one of my first video 3 years ago where I talk about the glass.ruclips.net/video/YgvleUtaONM/видео.htmlsi=w5n1sdscLWKyK0F4
Wow, that was inspiring! Beautiful. Love your location by the water. We used to live about 50 ft above the water up in Washington. How fortunate we were for that period of our life. New subscriber!
Thank you! Yes, enjoy living by the water. I visit in Washington state for the first time this past year and we stayed in an Airbnb that overlooks the cruise ship terminal it was beautiful.
You are very talented! Love these. We have a tumbler so I'm definitely going to try it. I'm assuming you break the glass before putting in the tumbler?
Well for the most part I now put the glass down first, just because it's easier. I do think you use less resin puting the glass down last like i did in this video also then you dont get bubbles under your glass if you put the resin down first. So there are pros and cons to both.
This is just beautiful! I am so glad I found your channel. You are very creative and artistic, as well as a great teacher. LOVE your sweet kitty, what a handsome boy he is. I just subscribed and look forward to your other interesting videos! Thank you for sharing with us.
I just discovered you & have been binge watching! I did notice you've used resin before placing glass AND after. Which do you think is best for a beginner? Love your art!!!!
In this video I put the resin down 1st then the glass on top of it. This was one of my 1st videos. now I usually put the glass down 1st then either pour the resin around it or over top. You can do it any way you like . Some people like the glass to be shiny, I do and that is why I pour the resin over it the resin makes it shiny. Some people like it to be more like true sea glass which is frosted, so they either put the resin down 1st and glass on top or they pour the resin around it. sometimes the glass will move a little and you can use a toothpick to push it back in place. Now as long as you have it on a level flat surface after everything is poured it should not move. Having said that I still think its a good idea to go back and look at the project after about 20 min or so and make sure nothing has shifted. If it has you can still push back with a toothpick. Now this tumbled glass is translucent and when you pour resin over it it becomes more translucent. The lighter the color ( such as a pink) the more translucent it becomes and sometimes if you pour resin over a light pink as opposed to pouring around it, it may be more difficult to see
Thank you for your amazing tutorial. I'm in the process of gathering glass for a project. I would like to know how you get the long pieces for the stems. I'm just using a hammer in a box and then tumble- can't seem to get stem pieces for my flowers.
I talk about it a little bit in this video that I’m sending you a link to, but there are a lot of RUclips channels dedicated to cutting Stainglass. It’s very simple to cut stems and you do not have to tumble them. ruclips.net/video/N5cezBdPYxE/видео.html

I do have a Dolphin near that I attached Seaglass in jewelry to with clear silicone and that is outdoors and that is never yellowed. ruclips.net/video/jS2hOUGO-WA/видео.html
Yes it is amazing , because now I pay $25 a window at a local store. I did get one at an estate sale last week for $10 so I grabbed it. Yes Sam is my buddy, he's always there.
It is all broken tumbled glass that I find at garage sales and thrift stores. Here is a video on how I make it.ruclips.net/video/dMqmKrRgxm4/видео.htmlsi=4EWOy3VFn0IfZhDF
@@lauriewilson4741 yes very cool i wish they sold the barrel separate it would fit on my MJR tumbler Then I wouldn't have to use such a big barrel for the long satined glass pieces
So this is one of the first videos I made and I have changed a few things . no you just need to put enough resin on so that the glass window panes are covered with resin and touching all the glass that is on top.But what i do is set everything up then pour the resin and I do like the glass to be shiny so i pour the resin over it. Some people would like the glass to stay frosted like real sea glass so they pour around it. The only drawback from pouring resin over glass is it makes it more translucent. so if you have a very light color like pink sometimes if you pour resin over it will not be very visible. I just did another large window and the video comes out on Friday. I hope that answers your questions. feel free to ask anything.
Nancy from Virginia here i noticed in this vid you Put the resin on first and then put the flowers in on a couple of others you put the glass down and then spoonfed the resin on top of it and I'm wondering your difference in deciding whether to put it on the top of it or underneath it
Well now for the most part I have figured out that I can just keep the glass on and put the resin on top. I decided I like the the glass to be shiny, so you will see in all my newest videos that I put the resin on top.
@@dally4905 In this video I put the resin down 1st then the glass on top of it. This was one of my 1st videos. now I usually put the glass down 1st then either pour the resin around it or over top.

@@dally4905 The tumbler smooths the glass out , takes the sharp edges off, and i think makes it look prettier, like sea glass. It also makes it easier and safer to work with. I hope that answers your question.
I would not put resin in direct sunlight it will speed up the yellowing process. If you want to do that I would attach the pieces with liquid nails or silicone. I did a project as one of my first videos with 3 seahorses and I did one on glass with I think liquid nails. no resin and when hung on a wall it looks beautiful. ruclips.net/video/yA1cA_j3FMY/видео.html. If you are going to hang it in a window you can see the glue behind it. I think I may do another project like that and spread the silicone more evenly and see if its less noticeable. I do not want to give you any false info I would hate for you to ruin your project All the ones i have indoors are beautiful.no yellowing one is 3 years old. One that I have had in direct sunlight is very yellow I did a video on it and 2 that I have out on my back porch ( Very hot here in south Florida) but not in direct sun have slight yellowing very slight. I hope that helps.
I currently don't have a glass tumbler, but I do own a glass grinder. Would the edges of the glass be smooth enough to use? I so want to try this technique.
You could but the only problem is that air that comes out of the blow dryer is so strong it may blow the resin up over the frame or off the canvas also it will blow the glass around even some heat guns are strong i now prefer the kitchen torch. Someone want suggested one of those long lighters that you used to light a grill you can get up at the Dollar tree for $1.25 I’ve not tried it though
@@crazyglasslady Hmmm. That's a thought.I think these are so pretty and my 6 and 2.5 year old granddaughters would love something like this. Any other crafts up your sleeve?
@@dawnfuhrman1516 Well I have done all sorts of crafting all my life. I was involved in Girl scouts for years. Wish I had some grandkids to do crafts with. Right now I am just experimenting with and learning more about all types of glass art. I only suggested the dollar tree lighter if you were trying to think of ways to cut costs otherwise I really like the kitchen torch. I was nervous about it at first but it make things so much easier.
I have done a few resin glass projects on mirrors here are. some links to them: ruclips.net/video/OLuqYbdisZM/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/n4zFZ4trl9g/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/pvk6GPPNtoU/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/wtcDTlg81gQ/видео.html I have a few more you just have to scroll through my videos. Anything you can do on glass you can do on a mirror. I have a few coastal videos on round mirrors also a couple of my first videos
@@crazyglasslady Yes absolutely however what you created is gorgeous. I can't wait to do my windows.. My problem is I agonize over the design for so long it sort of incapacitates me sometimes
I have a question about the resins you use. I am getting ready to do a window and was wondering which has the best UV resistance as I want to put it in my garden where it will be exposed to the elements. With so many products out there it gets rather confusing when you're a beginner. Plus I do not want to use resin over the whole window only where I am using tiles crushed glass and other trinkets so would I use a clear silicone around the edges of the area I want to resin to keep it from flowing onto the rest of the window?
Hi Penny so I have been using the brand called Art resin alot. Honestly if it is going to be outside in the direct sunlight even if it has UV resistance it will yellow over time .I have used a few different resins and I have a video where I tested it in the direct sunlight Art resin and clear cast 7000 yellowed the least After that video ended I put them all back out in the Florida sun for another 3 months ( Direct sunlight ) and they still held up the best but there was some yellowing. the ones I kept inside are fine. I am wondering if you could attach the crushed glass and trinkets another way. The clear silicone you would see if you tried to use as a barrier now you could attach the trinkets with it unless the window could be seen from both sides and may look bad from the back. So if you really want to use resin you may be able to create a barrier with painters tape. To see what I mean look at this video where I used painters tape to divide the water from the sky and keep different color resins seperate I believe I took it off after 2 hours. ruclips.net/video/ThgFF4jPKKI/видео.html So there are a lot of stain glass artists out there who use different glues to attach the stain glass to the glass . I think if I were you I would practice on an old glass picture frame first. I have also used CLEAR SEAL LIQUID NAILS to attach glass to glass and you could not see it behind the glass when it dries. Watch this video from beginning to end where I use liquid nails. At the very end I pull out and old seahorse project where I put silicone behind it and you will see what that looks like also. I also show what the liquid nails looks like behind the glass. ruclips.net/video/Tc46G6lotes/видео.html I hope this helps in you decision. But please practice on a old picture frame first!
@@crazyglasslady Thank you! I use DAP Auto/Marine to adhere glass pieces to my outdoor windows and it has held up with them being in all kinds of weather in PA and has never yellowed. We built a tall covered (roofed) trellis for the window to be hung in which gets more late afternoon sun but is semi shaded most of the day. I have never incorporated crushed glass/small beads and thought resin might be the way to go. I will definitely watch the video and appreciate your feedback!
All different resins I use art resin if I’m working on a canvas and then I usually use let’s resin resin when I’m working with glass on glass and moldS
My first tumbler has been non stop for 2 years: amzn.to/3B4dDoL My second tumbler larger I have 2: amzn.to/3eb0pwG Largest Tumbler amazing: amzn.to/3hCha5G For the larger pieces that you see in this video i have to use my largest tumbler it is a MJR 40 lb tumbler I have a video out about it. ruclips.net/video/ooCwb2iDdPg/видео.html here is the link for the video

All resin will eventually yellow you can do things to slow it down. Any of my resin projects that I have in the house and some are over 3 years old have not yellowed . the 3 I have out side in the florida heat have yellowed.
@@crazyglasslady: So you live in Florida. That is good to know since Florida's heat is an issue. I have used E6000 on many glass projects. After a while it does get brittle (the E6000) and will fall apart. The E6000, it seems, does not yellow from the sun though. I love your project and will definatly try it. Since you are in Florida you should go to the McIntosh Festival. It is a GIANT craft show. The Micanopy Festival is 1 week later. ✌🏻♥️
@@diannenaworensky6698 I do have a dolphin mirror out in the heat that I have glued seaglass to and the silicone that I used has never yellowed Mccanopy is by Gainsvile about 3 hour from me
That was one of my first videos. I was using total boat resin and I thought because it was a low odor resin that it was safe . At that time I knew nothing about VOC's. I have learned alot and changed quite a few thing that I do as far as safety and the order I put the glass on the glass. Learning as I go.
a lot of chalk paints you don't need to prep the surface and they cover well with fewer coats. Also it covers flaws better than other paints. But I Have found ones that don't work that great and others that are great
@@lolodee3528 Yes I feel like a lot of people use chalk paint to farm house and coastal projects and the matte finish is better for that look. You have to be careful with the sealers for chalk paint though because some will leave a shiny finish.
I live in the Carribean/Puerto Rico have been collecting beach class for years. We walk our dogs every day on the beach. I have jars and jars of glass. You inspired me to do some creative with glass ❤ Thank you!

Have you tried rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.. spray once or twice should help with the bubbles to
really? I have never tried that and it wont bother the resin? I will have to try on a test piece. Thanks

Linda, I found 2 jewelry tumblers on Amazon. One is clear acrylic and they’re long enough to maybe tumble some longer grass pieces.
$99
Ive never heard of jewelry tumblers I will have to look for them. Are they to clean jewelry?
never heard of it just looked it up so that barrel would be perfect. so it looks like it will run just for an hour at a time. I bet that would work.
@@crazyglasslady the bonus being it’s clear so you can see your product tumbling

How much resin is used, just enough to places glass pieces in it? Does it cover over all the glass pieces, so they are completely covered with resin?
So this is one of the first videos I made and I have changed a few things . no you just need to put enough resin on so that the glass window panes are covered with resin and touching all the glass that is on top.But what i do is set everything up then pour the resin and I do like the glass to be shiny so i pour the resin over it.

@@dally4905 In this video I put the resin down 1st then the glass on top of it. This was one of my 1st videos. now I usually put the glass down 1st then either pour the resin around it or over top. You can do it any way you like . Some people like the glass to be shinny, I do and that is why I pour the resin over it the resin makes it shinny. Some people like it to be more like true sea glass which is frosted, so they either put the resin down 1st and glass on top or they pour the resin around it. sometimes the glass will move a little and you can use a toothpick to push it back in place. Now as long as you have it on a level flat surface after everything is poured it should not move. Having said that I still think its a good idea to go back and look at the project after about 20 min or so and make sure nothing has shifted. If it has you can still push back with a toothpick. Now this tumbled glass is translucent and when you pour resin over it it becomes more translucent. The lighter the color ( such as a pink) the more translucent it becomes and sometimes if you pour resin over a light pink as opposed to pouring around it, it may be more difficult to see. I hope that helps. I am happy to answer any questions.
Amazing such pretty colors
THANK YOU!
@@crazyglasslady what is the result of leaving the glass in the tumbler for 5+ days ?
@@dally4905 The tumbler smooths the glass out , takes the sharp edges off, and i think makes it look prettier, like sea glass. It also makes it easier and safer to work with. I hope that answers your question.
@@crazyglasslady yes I have tumbled my glass so far no more than a couple of days
Crazy Glass Lady just wondered if you pot it in for a week does it look different
Can something like this be put up on an outdoor porch year round?
I would not put resin in direct sunlight it will speed up the yellowing process. If you want to do that I would attach the pieces with liquid nails or silicone. I did a project as one of my first videos with 3 seahorses and I did one on glass with I think liquid nails. no resin and when hung on a wall it looks beautiful. ruclips.net/video/yA1cA_j3FMY/видео.html. If you are going to hang it in a window you can see the glue behind it. I think I may do another project like that and spread the silicone more evenly and see if its less noticeable. I do not want to give you any false info I would hate for you to ruin your project All the ones i have indoors are beautiful.no yellowing one is 3 years old. One that I have had in direct sunlight is very yellow I did a video on it and 2 that I have out on my back porch ( Very hot here in south Florida) but not in direct sun have slight yellowing very slight. I hope that helps.
I currently don't have a glass tumbler, but I do own a glass grinder. Would the edges of the glass be smooth enough to use? I so want to try this technique.
So you are wanting to cut up glass in the petal shapes and use the glass grinder on them to smooth the edges. Yes that would work fine!
Thank you!
Would love to see it after you do it
Maybe this is a crazy question but can you use a hair dryer to get the bubbles out? Your work is so pretty and I would love to try this project.
You could but the only problem is that air that comes out of the blow dryer is so strong it may blow the resin up over the frame or off the canvas also it will blow the glass around even some heat guns are strong i now prefer the kitchen torch. Someone want suggested one of those long lighters that you used to light a grill you can get up at the Dollar tree for $1.25 I’ve not tried it though
@@crazyglasslady Hmmm. That's a thought.I think these are so pretty and my 6 and 2.5 year old granddaughters would love something like this. Any other crafts up your sleeve?
@@dawnfuhrman1516 Well I have done all sorts of crafting all my life. I was involved in Girl scouts for years. Wish I had some grandkids to do crafts with. Right now I am just experimenting with and learning more about all types of glass art. I only suggested the dollar tree lighter if you were trying to think of ways to cut costs otherwise I really like the kitchen torch. I was nervous about it at first but it make things so much easier.
Have you ever done this on mirrors?
I have done a few resin glass projects on mirrors here are. some links to them: ruclips.net/video/OLuqYbdisZM/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/n4zFZ4trl9g/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/pvk6GPPNtoU/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/wtcDTlg81gQ/видео.html I have a few more you just have to scroll through my videos. Anything you can do on glass you can do on a mirror. I have a few coastal videos on round mirrors also a couple of my first videos
I liked the bright blue better
Oh wow you do?
@@crazyglasslady Yes absolutely however what you created is gorgeous. I can't wait to do my windows.. My problem is I agonize over the design for so long it sort of incapacitates me sometimes
I have a question about the resins you use. I am getting ready to do a window and was wondering which has the best UV resistance as I want to put it in my garden where it will be exposed to the elements. With so many products out there it gets rather confusing when you're a beginner.
Plus I do not want to use resin over the whole window only where I am using tiles crushed glass and other trinkets so would I use a clear silicone around the edges of the area I want to resin to keep it from flowing onto the rest of the window?
Hi Penny so I have been using the brand called Art resin alot. Honestly if it is going to be outside in the direct sunlight even if it has UV resistance it will yellow over time .I have used a few different resins and I have a video where I tested it in the direct sunlight Art resin and clear cast 7000 yellowed the least After that video ended I put them all back out in the Florida sun for another 3 months ( Direct sunlight ) and they still held up the best but there was some yellowing. the ones I kept inside are fine. I am wondering if you could attach the crushed glass and trinkets another way. The clear silicone you would see if you tried to use as a barrier now you could attach the trinkets with it unless the window could be seen from both sides and may look bad from the back. So if you really want to use resin you may be able to create a barrier with painters tape. To see what I mean look at this video where I used painters tape to divide the water from the sky and keep different color resins seperate I believe I took it off after 2 hours. ruclips.net/video/ThgFF4jPKKI/видео.html So there are a lot of stain glass artists out there who use different glues to attach the stain glass to the glass . I think if I were you I would practice on an old glass picture frame first. I have also used CLEAR SEAL LIQUID NAILS to attach glass to glass and you could not see it behind the glass when it dries. Watch this video from beginning to end where I use liquid nails. At the very end I pull out and old seahorse project where I put silicone behind it and you will see what that looks like also. I also show what the liquid nails looks like behind the glass. ruclips.net/video/Tc46G6lotes/видео.html I hope this helps in you decision. But please practice on a old picture frame first!
@@crazyglasslady Thank you! I use DAP Auto/Marine to adhere glass pieces to my outdoor windows and it has held up with them being in all kinds of weather in PA and has never yellowed. We built a tall covered (roofed) trellis for the window to be hung in which gets more late afternoon sun but is semi shaded most of the day. I have never incorporated crushed glass/small beads and thought resin might be the way to go. I will definitely watch the video and appreciate your feedback!
@@pennywilliams1178 You are very welcome and good luck!
How do you tumble the glass
In a rock tumbler I have a more recent video that talks about how you tumble glass ruclips.net/video/dMqmKrRgxm4/видео.html
What resin do you use?
All different resins I use art resin if I’m working on a canvas and then I usually use let’s resin resin when I’m working with glass on glass and moldS
Which rock thumbler do you use?
My first tumbler has been
non stop for 2 years: amzn.to/3B4dDoL
My second tumbler larger I have 2: amzn.to/3eb0pwG
Largest Tumbler amazing: amzn.to/3hCha5G
For the larger pieces that you see in this video i have to use my largest tumbler it is a MJR 40 lb tumbler I have a video out about it.

Where can I buy the tumbler? My husband wants to order one.
Watch my rock tumbling video it will give you an idea of the size you want then I have links to them all under the description. Here is the video. ruclips.net/video/dMqmKrRgxm4/видео.html
Does the epoxy yellow after time?
All resin will eventually yellow you can do things to slow it down. Any of my resin projects that I have in the house and some are over 3 years old have not yellowed . the 3 I have out side in the florida heat have yellowed.
@@crazyglasslady: So you live in Florida. That is good to know since Florida's heat is an issue. I have used E6000 on many glass projects. After a while it does get brittle (the E6000) and will fall apart. The E6000, it seems, does not yellow from the sun though. I love your project and will definatly try it. Since you are in Florida you should go to the McIntosh Festival. It is a GIANT craft show. The Micanopy Festival is 1 week later. ✌🏻♥️
@@diannenaworensky6698 I do have a dolphin mirror out in the heat that I have glued seaglass to and the silicone that I used has never yellowed Mccanopy is by Gainsvile about 3 hour from me
@@crazyglasslady Yes, Micanopy is by Gainesville. McIntosh is one town closer to Ocala
How did you make oval shapes or different shapes on the glass ?
It is just the way the glass broke up
I have all size pieces and i just fish through them to select the sizes and shapes I want
You shape something of them with glass cutters? What is that tool actually called ? Ty
Very nice❤
Thank you!☺
I see you follow your own safety advice.
That was one of my first videos. I was using total boat resin and I thought because it was a low odor resin that it was safe . At that time I knew nothing about VOC's. I have learned alot and changed quite a few thing that I do as far as safety and the order I put the glass on the glass. Learning as I go.
How much would you sell this for?
I’m sorry I have no idea. I do not sell anything but you could probably get an idea by going on Etsy
What is the resin called again?
The resin I used for this is Total Boat resin. The resin I have been using now is the brand name Art resin.
@@crazyglasslady thanks 😀
There’s Sam! (Not Stan 😹)

Why is chalk paint so popular?
a lot of chalk paints you don't need to prep the surface and they cover well with fewer coats. Also it covers flaws better than other paints. But I Have found ones that don't work that great and others that are great
I think it's matte finish is desirable.
@@lolodee3528 Yes I feel like a lot of people use chalk paint to farm house and coastal projects and the matte finish is better for that look. You have to be careful with the sealers for chalk paint though because some will leave a shiny finish.
People are so taltented!
you really cant buy anything that good nice job a lot of 2 part resins seem to yellow and are not crystal clear like what you're using.
So this was about 3 years ago and no yellowing.
