Glitter sinks in resin. To avoid that, let the resin sit and thicken about 30mins before adding the glitter, then you won't have the clear type layer on the back!
Oh thanks so much lovely .. that's a great tip ! That clear layer was annoying for sure x it didnt happen to the smaller pieces but I'm guessing I really packed It in there for those xx
From the US.....just listening to you makes ya feel happy. Wish we could work these ideas out together. I am waiting for my First supplies to arrive....wish me luck...and Thanks!
@@MsMerrye oh heyyyyy lovely .. sorry just seen this !! You tube doesnt notify me of comments underneath other comments xx good luck for sure !!! Hope you've been enjoying it xxxx
I cast with glitter have had no issues
@@karinaashmon I havnt had any issues to be honest .. not since this xxx it works really well x
That was an excellent first time with epoxy resin, you have learnt a lot from those experiments already 😎 The best couple of tips I can give you following that: Firstly, don't put fresh flowers in resin, as anything containing moisture does not do well in resin. You already know they go yellow pretty quickly, but they will continue to decompose and eventually turn brown. If you want to use flowers, go for dried ones.
Secondly, when using those silicone pendant moulds, fill them right to the top and then keep adding resin a drop at a time until you see a slight raised dome. Then as the resin shrinks as it cures, the surface will level off and not leave that concave effect with a sharp raised edge.
Looking forward to your next resin adventure already 😊♠
wow thank you ! Great advice .. that makes total sense about the flowers ha ... I literally picked them straight from the garden lol x And great tip on the concave ... really appreciate you taking the time to help me out ! x
Hi I'm a Resin Ace stalker, you won't find a better tutor then him, just watch out for his Alexa, she's a bit entitled. I'm trying to figure out how altitude and desert climate affect the resin. BTW I'm a new subscriber.
@@anneargo-davies692 heyyyyyy lovely x I'm so sorry for delayed response... You Tube doesn't actually tell us if there are *replies* underneath comments x so every now and then ... I scroll through to check I haven't missed any xx Thanks so much .. I'm loving resin Ace too .. and lol on Alexa x Ditched mine when it turned scary haaaaaa 😂😂
resinAce May I add......seal any pictures or stickers with Mod Podge or Elmer’s glue and dry completely. You can do photos, as well. 👍🏼
@@maggiem4734 this is great thanks so much Maggie xx
I bought my first set today and I'm totally no experience and it's a good start for a hobby while I'm dealing with my anxiety and depression
Heyyyy M.C .. so sorry to hear you are dealing with anxiety and depression xxx Resin is a very therapeutic hobby for sure x I really hope it helps you xx make sure to be safe and but a respirator also xxx I am filming a video tonight about starting resin xxx you might find it helpful xx
I think resin art is the best.good luck
❤❤❤
Claire’s Crafty Corner me too am a total begginer , I have question I bought some of the moulds but they really small and I am struggling to take it out, is there an easy way to do that? I appriciate your channel is very helpful.
Im 100% with you both on being a beginner and suffering from anxiety and depression much love
You've done really well. Bit of advice: cover your work surface with a bin liner so you don't get resin on your work surface. I got resin on my desk and it will be there forever now! Also, do try adding all sorts of things to your resin. You can add alcohol inks, crushed chalk - seriously, finely crushed chalk looks amazing in resin. You just stir it in. Also you can colour your resin with acrylic paint, nail polish, spices like paprika and turmeric. And there's a great book which is perfect for beginners called 'Resinate' by Jen Cushman. I've got it and it's brilliant. Good luck, love Amanda
Amanda thank you so much xx my desk is destroyed you are right ! haaa .. I spent the morning chipping off chucks of resin with a Stanley lol xx great advice .. I do use something under the mould now much easier xx :)
You advice about different additives is great! But it's important to note you get difference results depending on the resin you are using. I've had some pretty epic fails with crushed chalk. I do a lot in polyurethane resins, and they don't seem to play as well with others.
I got some on my glass desk and I could just reheat it and wipe it but I guess that wouldn't work on wood!
My plan for fixing my wood us just to make a resin top on my table so it covers my early mistake.
@@chelseascott6360 no need to reheat it on glass, let it cure and scrape it off
**ALWAYS WEAR A proper Respirator mask AND GLOVES**
I know my nails are shockingly terrible in this video ! I was due a refill but figured I would destroy them with resin before that .. Sorry in advance... they get wrecked on a daily 😩😩 Already noticing some editing errors here. It's taken HOURS to upload and caused me lots of problems. So some of my sentences are cut short. Apologies. I am also aware mold/mould is spelt differently accross the world 🤣 I hope the main fabric of the content is easily understood.
Hey I have been wondering how you could get a pendant to be half clear half full of glitter/different color resin?
@@janettemoore3191 well I have now learned that you can layer the resin ... so if you want it half and half like a domino ... pour the clear at the same time as the glitter but dont mix them let them just sit xx if you want half and half like a sandwich... pour one layer .. let it cure .. then top up with other layer xx hope this makes sense
I have been doing resin for a bit now I would recommend wearing plastic gloves and as for the lighter part you can put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and it works great for getting rid of the bubbles
Oh...and I just want to let you know that all the resin I have done and research I have done it says to ware a mask because the fumes are bad for your lungs. 👍Just be careful and good luck
Thanks so much Meagan xx I do wear a mask now ALWAYS !! .. and gloves when mixing etc ... xxx
Love your video
Eye shadow ? Wow that's so cool I did not know that .. thanks xx I know we can use acrylic paint and chalk but I guess there is still a lot for me to learn x thanks Kathy xx
if you are going to use eye shadow get the ones made with Mica Powder, non mica can clump and not mix in well, do to the fillers used in some.. I have also used acrylic paint, water color paint (the dried stuff) When using glitter do not be afraid of the chunky stuff.. gives it a whole new look.
I use nail polish to color it.
With the letters do a thin layer of resin wait until it's tacky to put the letter piece so it sticks then add move resin
Thank you so much Carmen xxx really appreciate any advice xx ❤❤❤
Disabled mom with a toddler & needed something constructive to do while the little one is napping or visiting with family. I had seen some of the resin crafts & were super intimidated, but your video & your excitement gives me hope & the encouragement to try this.....Thank you💖
Tray this is music to my ears thank you so so much ❤❤❤ it really is straight forward if you measure, use gloves and a mask etc ... you can pretty much just go with the flow and create whatever you fancy xxx I really hope you enjoy it as much as me xxxx
Have you considered Polymer clay. Not as expensive as resin which is rather expensive.
Thats a great idea Lyn xxx
@@Lyn4817 ucuxuxi
I would find a hobby that involves less toxic ingredients especially if you have little ones.
From what I’ve seen you need to sealant on flowers first to avoid what happened here. Also with anything paper, you can seal it with Mod Podge and then use it. As far as this batch goes, I actually like the scrabble tile off center 🙂
Heyyyy Erin thankyou so much x yes ... I know now we need to dry our fresh flowers first x you can press them or put them in silica gel to dry them whole .... great idea about mod podge not tried that yet xxx So glad you like the scrabble tile off centre so many do ha ❤❤❤ thank you so much lovely xxxxxx Merry Christmas xx
Im setting my eye on resin project as well but im intimidated as shit... I'm so glad to see a beginner... your excitement makes me want to go for my goal of trying this craft.
I was totally intimidated !!! But honestly ... it's all in the mix ... get the mix right ... and the world is your oyster no rules..no limits ! Just go with it its FAB !!!!! ❤❤ enjoy x
I know right, she is always smiling, like nothin in the world could be the matter, right Claire?
@@karenbitter8857 awwwww thanks lovely 😁😁😁 it does help that I love making videos xxx
I have been watching resin videos of all kinds for awhile now and am quite intimidated, however, Claire’s Crafty Corner excitement is somewhat contagious. I know that I’m close to making the purchase of the things I need to try this craft. Although I haven’t even tried the craft I would like to suggest that you watch the video by The Frugal Resinesta on jewelry making. She has great ideas and what appears to me to be a wealth of knowledge. The other suggest I have is to try some resin pigments to get some of the colors you’re looking for. Today I saw another artist doing a pour using several pigments, but one of her colors was spray paint. She sprayed the color of paint that she wanted into the cup and then immediately added her resin and mixed the two together and got a beautiful color. Good luck on more successful resin crafts. I’ll be watching for more videos.
@@maryellenrichards391 hey lovely ... I've only just seen this ... I dont get notified of new comments if they are written under existing ones 😩 sorry.
Thanks so much glad you like this I will totally check out that channel for inspo. I too have since used spray paint in my resin a few videos back I did an art piece on canvas it came out stunning was quite impressed. Xxx thanks so much for taking the time to help me and send me in the right direction ❤❤
Hooooray a british crafter. I watch so many from everywhere but can never find the products they use or we don't have them in the UK. But I must say your video is absolutely fantastic for a first timer. I love resin art but never tried it but I think I'll give it a go. I had to subscribe to your channel it was great to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Ahhhh fabulous to have you here .. xx so glad ya found me ... I dont just do resin on here but I hope you enjoy my other content xxx ❤❤
i totally agree.. not enough UK crafters. Ive ordered this resin set and so I loved you using it. cant wait for it to arrive. I dabble with polymer clay too and hoping to combine the 2 mediums.
Hi! I stumbled on this video while looking for resin making tutorials and it’s like watching/listening to myself, haha 😂 I’m a total newbie and I find your video very informative and good so thank you for posting 🌺
Oh hey Viktoria .. thankyoooooooo xx haaa so glad you're going to do it ... I absolutely cannot get enough xxx been loving it still ❤❤❤❤
I have bought a resin kit & am a bit intimidated with it, too. I enjoyed your vid ... you know how when you watch vids of peeps who have worked their crafts for years and make everything look so effortless? I HATE that! It’s nice to see another resin noob working the kinks out so I won’t feel like an idiot. I appreciate your posting the good & the not so good ... thanks!
Hey Kim .. yes I totally get that ! I'm the same when I watch videos but I honestly do prefer to just keep it real and let everyone learn from my own mistakes or at least share a few things that I would do differently next time xxx I'm so glad you found this helpful honestly it means I'm doing something right xx yay ! 😁😁 thanks so much 😘😘 really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤❤
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets intimidated by trying new things
@@TheWoowoo36 sorry Clare .. (great name) haaaa sorry only just seen this .! I am so intimidated by things I dont know xx I think we all are just some dont like to admit it is all xxx hope you try resin it really is so much fun xxxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner I've tried resin I do love it I dont do it as much because it's so messy
I was just going to mention; when I use resin, I wait a minute or two and then gently blow through a straw on each resin filled mold. For me, the bubbles just pop out! I was surprised how well that worked. I repeat that method after a few minutes if I see new bubbles have formed. It was amazing; and so easy, too. No cords to plug in and I don't have to worry about the dryer blowing so hard that the resin overflows the mold. Maybe just try it and see what you think.
Herovely thanks so much for the advice... I've never tried a straw .. definitely something to have a go at thankyou x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner You're very welcome. Let me add that the bubbles pop because my breath is just warm enough to bring them to the surface. It sometimes happens so quickly they all pop at the same time. Of course, I always check multiple times to see if new bubbles have developed. Once in a great while there will be a stubborn one that refuses to surface. In that case I use a needle to gently pop it. Then I follow up with the straw again because the warmth of my breath will soften the resin just enough to fill in any dimple that's left and level it all out again.
Thanks again for your videos and your humble attitude while showing us. Making mistakes is a part of life and we'll all make them. But you smile, sometimes even laugh, and begin again knowing that you've just learned how to do it better in some way. That's a great example to follow and I appreciate it. :)
@@MrOnyxpony wow thank you such an amazing comment x I'm so glad you enjoy my style of showing how not to do things 🤣🤣🤣 I do like to keep things as real as possible... if I dont show people my own struggles then they stumble on something I dont wanna come back and say .... ahhhh yesss that all happened to me too I just didnt let you know about it x thanks so much xxx
I know it works but please don't do this you're basically inhaling the fumes off the resin which is TOXIC. There is no such thing as non toxic resin. As soon as the hardener and resin is mixed fumes are released till it's fully cured which depending on the resin can take 3-30 days.
@@vinacasibang5085 thanks so much for this advice xxx safety must always come first xx ❤❤
You dont need makeup, youre gorgeous, theres nothing like a natural woman who is confident in that.
I love this woman I could watch her all day. I want to use her ideas on the mental health wards I work on. Keep this Chanel going pls. Fantastic xx
Omg me Jeanette ??? Haaa that's so amazing xxx and wow what a great job you're doing ! Xxx ❤❤❤ thank you ! Xxxx
finally glad to find some who is starting out like I am
I really am .. feel like I'm learning so much as i go ! Thank you so much Margaret lovely xx
Your pure excitement and enjoyment is infectious. Thank you for sharing your begginings. Much love xxx
Thankyooooo Mandy I was so excited to finally get my hands dirty with resin I waited long enough xxx ❤❤❤
I absolutely loved this video. Your enthusiasm is so contagious and I very much appreciated that you got right to it without a lot of chit chat that has nothing to do with the purpose of the video as so many others do. Well done Claire and thank you for such a straightforward video on resins!
Oh thanks so much ❤❤ it's quite unlike me .. I usually get told I talk tooo much ! 🤣🤣 so glad you liked the video and hope you give it a go xxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Please explain to me why it doesn't dry out? Does it remain liquid ?! Thank you
I am thinking about getting started in this. I also know someone probably told you by now, but for anyone else needing to know- the scrabble piece may have moved because the table wasn't level. Always use a leveler to make sure the table you're working on is perfectly flat
Thanks so much Hayley .. yes a flat surface is ideal for sure ... I still havn't managed to get that part right since I filmed this a year ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣but definitely the best advice xxxx thankyou
I just started with resin and it’s really encouraging to see other people just starting. I also bought all the pretty things to put in it too, lol. 😄 I’m also learning a lot from all the helpful comments. First time I’m actually glad I’ve read the comments!
Brandi that's so exciting you will LOVE IT !!!! I'm fully obsessed ! Let me know how you get on if you find me on insta xx tag me in your amazing creations ❤❤
You’re very brave to do your first resin work on video. Thank you. I’m also a beginner, and have had some good results and some real failures. Keep it up, we’re all in the same journey ☺️
Oh Penny thanks so much x I honestly love the fact that I'm learning at the same time as anyone who might watch xxx a lot of my videos are beginner ish... I just enjoy loads of different crafts xxx
Best beginner video that i have seen so far. I haven't started resin craft just watching video, reading up and window shopping suplys.
Thank you so much Jac that's amazing to hear ! Xx so glad you found this helpful honestly .. I'm still very much a beginner but I have been playing around with more xxx I hope you enjoy it as much as I do xx ❤❤❤❤
I use UV resin because I don't have the patience to wait 24 hours lol. Also I like that I can layer it (you can also layer epoxy resin, but have to wait 24 hours between each layer! 😂). I have used stickers in UV resin (not paper stickers though; plastic ones, like the type which are a bit 3D or look like they're slightly raised?), and I've put in tiny polymer clay roses as well. I've seen people use acrylic paint to paint tiny paintings onto a layer of resin and then pour clear resin over it to seal it, but I haven't tried that. As you said, I really love that we can put anything we want into it and the sky's the limit! We can go all out and give our creativity free rein!
I've just bought my first batch of UV resin .. its definitely super fast at drying.. I'm making huge batches though ... so UV resin seems way more expensive KG v's KG .. I think it's easier for me to pour and walk away lol .. UV resin has been a dream for connecting keychain and when I get home I need to attach necklace chains to pendants I've made UV resin is totally going to do that easily xxx
Irene Kiew I’m a beginner and want to get the easiest but best type of resin. Is there a specific UV resin that you recommend?
@@msglamgirl123 I live in Malaysia so I'm not sure you could get the same type. I buy my UV resin from my local craft store and the bottle has their own brand name on it. Sorry!
@@IreneKiew alamak dh berbulan ni agak2 reply lagi tak😅 sorry ganggu nk tanya apa nama resin tu kt malaysia? Baru nk berjinak juga bab2 resin ni. Thank you in advance🙏🏻
@@chubbybunny6425 I beli dari kedai ni online: monsterkraft.com/products/uv-resin?taxon_id=81
Fast shipping, trusted seller. I selalu beli drpd sini sbb I also buat beaded jewellery. Good luck with your crafts!
Someone's probably already said this but if you want layers of different colours the best way is to mix up a smaller batch of resin with the glitter in put it in the mould (which can be at a slight angle, but not so much that the resin overflows) & allow that resin to set to the point where it is very thick and/or tacky then mix a batch of your next colour & add that (you can change the angle it sets at too).
This is also the way to add different layers of inclusions including scrabble tiles, etc..
With the leaf or other intricate object that may not let the bubbles out, try "painting" the resin on the item before putting it in the mold. I'm a newbie too but have picked up a few tips along the way & did make some resin items when i was at school.
Draco this is so amazing thank you ! Nobody has suggested painting the item with resin first ! This is genius I need to make some flower petal pendants so this would totally work for that too ! The air bubbles wouldn't get in underneath this way I think x tha k you so much for helping me ❤❤
@@ClairesCraftyCorner hope it works!
Love your honesty in how to make these. As a beginner myself it's good to see someone like me just give it a go
Thanks Cathrrine .. so true .. we are all beginners at some point arent we 😁😁 I think it's important to show all the lil bits in between lol xx
❤️
Claire I just bought resin and molds and I’m excited too. I appreciate your excitement even though you’re a beginner also. Good job
Ahh amazing Zena ... hope you enjoy it xxx I've done so many resin videos lately you might find helpful .. this video feels like an eternity ago xxxx ❤❤❤❤
Love that you were willing to share the flaws and can only suggest that when you are mixing the resin that you scrape the sides and stir stick more, as it will help fill in the negative space at the back of your pieces. I also loved your enthusiasm about learning something new!
Thanks so much Dayna .. really appreciate your advice xx it's been so much fun hearing from others and really sharing great tips to help me xx ❤❤ I will for sure do that xx
I really love that you took us on this journey with you. I just ordered my first resin kit.
Ooooo Tanya you are so welcome and I'm now excited for you !! Its so much fun honestly hope you love it as much as me xxx
Hi I also ordered the kit 2days ago.and my name is also Tanya😄
I just got my first kit. Thanks for showing your progress and what you learned.
Ohhh that is exciting x I hope you love it x
I have only been playing with resin for less than a month and have like buckets of pieces already. Have no idea what I'm doing with them but just love them! So fun!
That's totally the fun bit ! Just having fun with it xxx no rules ! Xxx
If you have a Nursing Home, Senior Citizen Center or Group Home in your area I'm sure they would love them!
You can sell them online
This is absolutely fabulous. I really like the way you showed the trial and error. Also, I actually liked the scrabble tile being off set 😍
Thank you sooooo much Fae ..n I think most of my videos are trail and error x ha ha but that's what I love about making real videos x lol .. i say *keeping it real* but what i mean is .. can't get anything right haaaaa 🤣🤣🤣
I love your energy and your enthusiasm as a first time resin person. I will definitely start this myself now. Thank you!
Thankyou so much xxxx hope you enjoy and keep me posted xxx
i'm a first-timer with resin also. I think you did a great job and thank you.
Thankyou so much Deryl thats so amazing xxx hope youre enjoying it so far xxx
I love seeing your older past videos. You’ve come a long waaaaay; now your personality has is full on. ❤
Perhaps to blend the colors, you can use a wooden toothpick or skewer and draw it gently through the mixture. Good job!!
Yesss thanks so much Lauresa ... that is such a good idea ... I actually have some somewhere... I must dig them out xx making some more soon so I'll need to find them 😁😁
Hi Claire, I am relatively new to resin and a couple of things I have learnt around flowers is that they have to be dried, fresh flowers will turn yellow and then moldy after a while so I dry my flowers in silica gel for 24 hours. With the scrabble piece and anything like that I.e coins etc I usually put a small amount of resin in the mold and then stick the item onto the resin let it dry and the fill the mold with resin
Heyyyyy lovely xx thank you so much this is great advice xxx I have learned so much from doing my first resin video xx ❤❤❤❤
I bought the same molding kit on Amazon and came here to figure out what I'm suppose to do. You're excitement makes me so excited to try it out! Thanks for posting!!!!
Ahhh Alexandra that is so cool thank you xxx im glad this helped ❤❤ I have continued to adore resin since this video xxx
You have done a wonderful job! I bought the molds 6 months ago but I’ve been so busy to try this. After this video I’ve decided that I’m going to give a try! For a 1st time they turned out marvelous! Fantastic job! Be blessed! 👍💐
Thanks so much Penny x that's fantastic so glad you're gonna try them now yay ! Xxx they were so much fun xx
I adore the 'be kind' pendant. Plus your glitter and sequin icicles. 💞
Thankyou so much xxx the icicles were definitely my favourite ! Xxx
I actually like the "C3" off to the side! It looks creatively purposeful!!
Ahhh thanks Cindy xx then I shall pretend i totally planned it xxx haaa
I love how excited you were in this video. I'm new to resin too, I had the same excitement after the first batch. 😆
That long blue pendant turned out great!!
Heyyyyy Ellen, I am so glad you enjoyed it ... the excitement never goes away and it has been nearly 2 years now since this video ... I fell hard in love with Resin xxx
Thank you for your lovely video Claire. It certainly was exciting, I can hear the excitement in your voice. You have done so well for a first time. I will be a first timer too when I try it. You have helped so many crafters. Keep it up! You went through every step clearly and pointed out what not to do. I agree with your choice of favourite - it is beautiful.
Valerie thank you so much xx that really does mean a lot xxx
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do xxxx
Love your enthusiasm. Great for a first timer, you’ve given me confidence to do this myself.👍
Thank you so much Jackie xxx so glad it could help xxx
I wanted to buy this exact kit but wanted to research everything before I bought the resin etc. then, I found this video, which was perfect! (Especially as I am definetly a beginner) Thank you!
Heyyy lovely... it's the perfect kit to start with for sure ! I fully recommend it xxx
Really loved your beginners resin video, has given me inspiration to do my own.
Tha is so much Caroline xxx so glad you loved it .. definitely having fun with it xxxx
Love it
Thank you❤
Nicely done. I’m a beginner too and hit the same learning curves so anyone not sure about this, it’s real and honest. Well done x
Ahhh Sharon thankyou soooo much xx that means a lot ! I hope you enjoy resin as much as I am .. I know I said in this video I'm not going to be a resin channel but it's kind if dominated my life since haaaa xxxx
Loved watching my first items are now setting 🤞. I’ve printed photos of my dad to do pendants for my girls as they miss him. X
Ahhh Sian that is such a beautiful idea xx ❤❤❤ thanks so much glad you enjoyed x
You are just so adorable and fun to watch! Great job on the jewelry molds. I have all of the molds but just haven’t tried yet! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Awwww Tam thank you so much xxx loving your channel too xx I hope you get around to trying it ... really is fun xxx
😂GIRL..my lord, You just made my night! Im giving you a big FAT thumbs up! U think i repeated this video about 4 times now.#1 because i ❤ your freaking accent you are adorable. "Just shove it in there! Grass leaves twigs ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE" yessss, you are right and i needed to hear that. Because i too have had a bunch of resin crap molds coasters glitters shrubs clovers alcohol ink ecetera but i have been in a stuck in a seriously depressing funk - afraid to fail and completely 🤬 up this incredibly awesome little hobby that i have been absolutely DYING to get in to . Your video has inspired me.. thank you for giving me a push "shoving me right in" i hope i get as lucky as you did!
Cheers❤
I appreciate the lesson on resin jewelry for beginners. The reference to the type on resin and quantities will be a big help.
Thanks Crdric .. so glad you liked it xxx
Thanks for this tutorial! I have been wondering how to do this and this video definitely piques my interest!
So glad it helped M Jane x I honestly was ummin and ahhing fir around 8 months before I finally just bit the bullet and bought some xx I was so intimidated by it ... but I'm over it now just need to keep in learning more stuff x
Perfect! Thank you. I'm gaining to be brave and open the resin now.
That's amazing go for it xx hope you enjoy xxxxxx ❤❤ find me on insta I would love to see how you get on xx
I so enjoyed this video and you ooze enthusiasm is quite infectious and I will follow your beginnings with my own. I loved how you were so excited and yet you managed to capture the moments perfectly when you had a tiny spill and just blew it off without fuss or ado. Thank you for sharing this very precious video and I can tell just by the coments that you have entertained so many of us as well as passing on tips and what not to do's. I look forward to seeing more from you Claire. xx Annie xx
Annie thank you so much xxxx what an incredible thing to say ❤❤ I am so happy you enjoyed this ... I did say in the video that this wouldn't be a resin channel but it has totally taken over my life ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am back to some traditional frafting now for Halloween xxxx hope you enjoy my content xxx
Hi Claire! Great video! I'm a newbie too. One thing though please make sure to wear PPE and I've seen the comment below. DO NOT use a straw to get rid of bubbles. The reason you're meant to be wearing a respirator mask is to not inhale the fumes and by blowing on a straw defeats the purpose of the mask. Resin+hardener=toxic no matter what the box says. By themselves they are fine but it's when they're mixed! Better to use PPE or perhaps a lighter to get rid of bubbles or better yet a toothpick or tap them!
Heyyy lovely thanks so much xxxx Since this video went out a year ago I purchased a proper respirator and have been using this since .. replacing filters when needed x thanks so much for your great advice ! Safety is so important xx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner no problem lovely! May I ask where you get your respirator mask from? I've been having a look but I'm not really sure which one to get 😅 I've just been looking at Amazon and don't know whether to splurge or not considering I only do it as a hobby hehe x
@@vinacasibang5085 I have a half mask from Screwfix direct xxx it's great! Although a full mask would be better xxx
@@vinacasibang5085 it was around £25.00
@@ClairesCraftyCorner thank you Claire! I'll have a look! I really appreciate it! Love watching your videos your voice is so calming 💕😍
I've been crafting for ages....but this is on my list!
Its definitely something I can see me doing for longer than many other crafts xx I love it xx
Loved coming across this. I’m a great fan of yours, mostly the past 2yrs of content. Now making my way to older content. Refreshing to see you discovering the possibilities of resin, made me smile.
Great job,I love the glitter they turned out beautiful,I truly understand because what I'm learning resin myself doing it for like a year and a half and still new to me and still causes Minor problems,Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much Lydia xx really glad you like it ... I think i will be new at this for a long time to come as there is so much to learn xx but so glad you liked it ... enjoy your resin making fun xxxx
Enjoyed watching your video, I’m waiting for my kit to arrive, like you I’ve watched loads of videos as part of my research. I’m getting excited can’t wait 😊
Great news Christine ... so exciting hope you love it like I do xxx I've lost count of how many I've watched .. but I've done so many more videos since this one ! I said it was gonna be a resin channel ... but that now appears to be a lie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope you're safe where you are xx
Well thank you for that. I've had a resin kit sitting around for a long time and I've been a bit afraid of it, so now I think I'll give it a go!
Hey Crystal amazing! I'm so glad you're going to go for it xxxx
Love your video and your great enthusiasm Thanks
All the greens are my favorite. So beautiful
Great video! Gave me some ideas. I just got my molds in from Amazon and can't wait to give it a try!
Thanks Kathryn xx excited for you to try ❤❤ glad I could help in some way xxx
your video was very helpful for me! I'm going to try to make bookmarks, Thank you!
Heyyyy lovely you are so welcome xx really glad it helped xxx ❤❤❤❤
Let me know how you get on xxx would love to try that x
Claire’s Crafty Corner I made them!! I used glitter as u did and they are beautiful!! I also used pigments pouring them at each end then i swirled it a little to blend a sort of ombré. Had no problems...Thank you for replying!!
@@aflowerofsomesort66 ahhh that's amazing ! Bet they're gorgeous 😍😍 thanks for letting me know x I hope you continue to create xxxx
Thank you! I love the scrabble tile to the side. Great job
Thanks Misty xxxx a few have said that lol I still cant cope with it haaaaa
I have been meaning to try these experiments for a while. I'm still unsure as to going about it but you have given me the extra boost that I need. You did really well as a beginner, doing things that works for you through these experiments it what matters most. What's the job is being done regardless.
Ashley I really hope you give it a go ... it's so much fun and satisfying ! Xxx you will love it xxx thanks so much so glad you love it xx
Thank you so much I know nothing about resin I make jewelry from stones ( wire wrapping) but wanted to try resin you showed me that it was easy to do thank you
Oooooo Nancy I'd love to make jewellery with wire wrapping ... I think they look so beautiful ! So glad I could show you how simple this is to do xxx enjoy xxx
So nice to see your lovely face! Glad you’re feeling better. THIS! This is so cool. I love your tag line: “Resin: just shove it in.” Ha ha ha you crack me up. I agree with you, the tall, slender, piece with the hombre of sequins is definitely my favorite. I can see them in all colors looking fabulous. Also love the ones with the real flowers. I wanna do this. I’m just wondering what i would use them for. Not really a floral necklace type a guy...I’ll have a think on it. Love you bunches, Claire!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks BOO 😘 honestly not entirely sure that I will carry on with jewellery ... I REEALLLLY want to create a wall art piece or a chopping board or river table that's my goal ! jewellery is my starting block ❤ 🤣🤣 I just wanted to make people see how easy it is cos I was intimidated for soooooo long didnt wanna try it ... all you gotta do is mix it .. shove stuff in haaaaa simples ! (but way scientific and a lot more to it I know)
Got my first kit today ...felt I had to watch loads of videos to even get an idea of how to do it. So thankful I came across yours second ..watched your video and went straight to the kit and made some pendants... they look fantastic so far..can’t wait to see if they set...thanks so much for such a simple and informative tutorial.
That is great news I am so glad you found this helpful ❤❤❤ I hope you love resin as much as I do xxxx ❤❤❤
You are so enthusiastic. I love it. I haven't tried resin yet, but it on my list of things to try. Thank you so much for sharing.
Heyy Hope thank you so much! You absolutely should try it for sure .. I'm in love with it now xxx each de-moulding is like Christmas .. you never know what you're going to get xxx
Kind of reminds me of candle making. I get bubbles in my candles often. And I usually have to add more hot wax on top. I actually added jewelry to some candles once. I'm excited to try my hand at resin.
hey lovely .. sorry for the delay I have not been getting my notifications xx I tried candles once .. but used cheap stuff .. and it just does not work ! investment is needed … I do love scented candles xxx
She sounds like she's having a ball.♥️
I absolutely loved it Leslie ... found the one craft I can stick to for more than a day x 🤣🤣🤣 done sooo much more since
Wow, great job Claire. Really enjoyed this video. The glitter sequin piece is stunning 😍. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
thanks Brenda xx really enjoyed doing it ❤❤ I love the glitter also xxx
So pretty....you did a great job! Thank so much for sharing!
Thank you soooo much Christina xx so glad you liked them xx and thanks for taking time to comment xxx ❤❤
" I spilled it." It might be because I haven't slept in days or it was just that funny but I'm dying laughing! They way you said it was like "yeah I spilled it! what are you gonna do about it?" I loved the video and it was helpful for me as a beginner with resin as well. Thank you for being amazing!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks hunee haha glad you liked it and really happy it's helped as a beginner x lol I spill a lot ! Haaaaaaaa
Please wear eye and respiratory protection as well as gloves. It’s so important for people that share their experiences, experiments and talent to also share basic safety tips.
I urge everyone to read the MSDS/SDS on every product they use, and protect themselves accordingly.
Thank you so much .. this advice is vital ! I have it all written in my pinned post.
Why? It is harmful for the eyes. Just asking because I want to.start as well
@@siddhijoshi7942 , the fumes from the chemicals can cause damage.💗
Love this video, total beginner, wasn't sure what was needed etc, but this shows everything that you'd need to start. Thank you so much 🥰
Hey Tracy .. so glad you found it helpful xxx
Thank you, love this, you give me the confidence to try please put more on here your so good at teaching x❤️🙏🏼
Heyyyyy Gwyn ... I did say it wasnt going to be a resin channel but if you check out my page you will see that it has taken over my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thankyou so so much xx I'm glad you have the confidence to try it now xxxxx ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi I am new to resin myself and I just found your channel today. Great tutorial by the way.
I found that when using stickers or like the scrabble piece it is best to put a layer of clear resin and wait for that to get tacky and then put the scrabble piece or sticker that will help avoid them moving about.
Hey Sakura ... yay another newbie like me . Thankyou so much this is great advice ! Xxx ❤❤❤
Omg how are you so pretty even without makeup on??? 😍
Aww JoJo thanks ... I have a semi ok camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much, for a down to earth video, I really enjoyed watching it & learned so much from your demonstration / experience / comments. I can’t wait to see more videos ❣️
Thabk you so much Sue xxxx this was my very first video a long while ago .... I am hooked now xxx ❤❤❤ I hope you find something else you like in my content xx
Love your joy , am going to give this a try, brilliant❤️
heyy lovely x thanks so much xx hope you enjoy it like I do xx
I love the daisies!!
Ahh thanks Melinda ❤❤ I've tried pressing some flowers now and hope to do another video soon ... I'm just waiting on the resin :)
@@ClairesCraftyCorner remember dont use fresh flower dry them first when it is water it become yellow
@@thomaseidst3170 thanks so much Thomas .. I understand this now xx learned so much since this video xxxx
I like the scrabble tile being off-center. It looks like it belongs that way! 😄
Thankyou so much AnnaLeigh quite a few have said that 😍😍 I am still not sure I can cope with it 🤣🤣🤣 xxx ❤
@@ClairesCraftyCorner I agree with @AnnaLeigh . To me the offcentered letter has a lot of potential to add a little something like a name beginning with C or jewel or whatever on the top. Definitely not a fail! I think it would've looked plain and wrong if it went perfectly. Fun video I learned a lot :)
I thought too. Like that it's not central. ❤
@@KimberlyPinkney hey lovely so sorry only just seen this xx haaa yeh I still cant quite cope with the off centre... but lots of cool ideas to decorate it xxx
Agree! Would think a little wire around or add a flower and a tad bit more resin to the other side!
I love that you shared all your trials and errors. It's nice to see what doesn't work too, so when I get this crazy idea, I can be like, nope, already know that won't work lol.
🤣🤣 absolutely you will know don't do it ! Haaa I'm glad this has helped x I do like to keep it real .. I cannot claim to know much at all as a beginner xx
Just found you on here and how pleased am I..you make everything so simple, I love it. I have only done one resin piece I am a total beginner, but after seeing you making lovely pendants, I’m off to order some moulds and have some fun. Thank you so much for keeping it easy and simple 😊
Love your enthusiasm :D
... watch out for the fumes though !! Well ventilated space is an absolute must.
Think I might try resin myself :D
I will be checking out your other crafts now :D :D
Bluedragon x
Thanks so much lovely xx I have full on safety gear now ... purchased straight after the video aired.... because I'm a tad obsessed 🤣🤣 said it wasnt going to be a resin channel but ... lol
Acrylic gems do melt with the chemical reaction that increases the temperature of the resin when it’s curing. You are so energetic and positive! (I meant to say this first). You can prevent the gems from melting if you do a shallow layer of resin first and let it cure, (the heat is less in smaller quantities of resin) and then add another shallow layer of resin let it cure and so on until you cover all your gems. It is only worth your time if it is a very nice gem. Try glass gems next time. Keep up the good work!
Oh gosh do they ? I so never knew that thank you so much ... 🙈🙈 and thank you 🤣 glad you liked the video .. its definitely something I need to look into getting glass xx
Claire’s Crafty Corner I just learned that from another you tuber I watch. We all learn as we go along👍🏼😄
@@rosaerivas395 very true Rosa .. it's one big lesson xxx thanks so much for letting me know ❤

thank you so much for this video, i make and sell my jewellery as a hobby and am about to start casting my own resin so this was fantastic to show me what i need to do. I look forward to your next video and thank you again xx
Hey Leigh, thanks so much glad you found it useful xxx so excited for you to start resin .. it has taken over my life ! xx lol I hope you like all of my other resin videos it's all I have been doing lately xx
This inspired me I just ordered a resin kit and I cannot wait!❤️
Hey Caitlin that is great news xx hope you enjoy it as much as me x i'm obsessed since doing this a year ago x
Hello Claire! LOVE LOVE this video! I’ve wanted to try resin for YEARS and never had enough courage...now thanks to you I will try! I’m so excited! I’ve even seen resin used in wood table tops filling cracks or gaps. I’d like to try both. Maybe try making jewelry with plant parts in the resin...leaves or flowers! I just love the glittery parts you made...they’re so pretty!!! Love hearing you laugh Claire...love your sense of humor. Thank you so very much for this video. Hope you are feeling better. Have a great week Claire😘 Cat Xx
Cat thank yoooooo SO MUCH yes yes that is what got me started with the resin .. the hope that one day I could make a river table! it would be amazing xx So glad you love it .. it really is way easier than I thought it would be ! and so excited to try more xxx
I am all better now thabk you xx just a horrid head cold that swept through the office xxx
@@ClairesCraftyCorner YES a river table would be amazing! So glad you are better Claire. Always look forward to your videos♡
@@catsanchez5749 eeeek only just seen this x thanks so much Cat xxx ❤❤❤
@@ClairesCraftyCorner That's alright Claire, I'm sure you are busy. Have a great week😁
The flowers were my favorite but i have heard that you should dry them first. Thanks for sharing.
Ahhh thanks so much x you're very welcome.. I will most definitely press some flowers ready for next time xxx
I absolutely love those precious lil pressed flowers! They are adorable. Great packaging with that one to one resin set...you could totally DIY with those tins after they run out. It is so satisfying to watching the placing of the flowers in the resin. It's like upscale confections with the delicate accoutrement. Wow...they are lovely...the un molding --wow! stunning! Those silicone molds are incredible. And I am all about the gems. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN BUTTONS. I love it. Thank you for sharing. You are now the queen of resin as well as cement.
Thanks so much babe xx 😘😘 you know I'm obsessed .. just about to watch your latest video it looks stunning ! Xxxx 😘😘❤❤
Myke Lyfe if you’re prepared to wait Wish sell those dried flowers for perhaps a quid or two p&p, whilst the item could be free. Check it out, so many bargains to be had but only if you’re prepared to wait for the order to arrive. Sometimes up to three weeks 😟that’s the only drawback. Get in there quick because the initial very low prices are being hiked up now so I think they will be losing custom quickly now. Good luck 😉
Loved it. I'm a complete novice and this gave me confidence to continue x
Heyyyy Maria thanks so much ... really glad this has helped you take the plunge ❤❤❤ that means so much and what it's all about xxxx you need any advice just holla xxxx (not that I'm a pro) but I've done sooooo much more since this video xxxx
I like the scrabble piece off center. I thought you made it like that. Way more interesting than it being centered.
Thanks Oonagh .. I wish it was the plan lol .. x thank you so much xx
"You can just...wow! shove it in there" 🤣🤣
haaaaaaaaaaa literally !!! haaaaa its great !!!
Thank you for sharing this video, it was extremely helpful and encouraging. Your passion and enthusiasm really shone through. I'm a complete beginner and have yet to try working with resin. You have given me the confidence to take that leap of faith. ❤
I love this lady, absolute star thanks for your tutorial.
Awwww ha amazing thank yooooo xxxxx
just received my mold, I'm waiting for the glow in the dark & colored mica powders to come in!!
Glow in the dark mica ?? Omg how exciting is that ! I didnt even know ... but then I know next to nothing still x lol
Dyllin Supelano Are the mica powders for coloring the resin?
The glow in the dark pig ants are great. I have tried using just a bit mixed in when I’m using certain crystals. Clear crystals w8ll do like your hearts facets, just disappear, but certain crystals show up nicely. I was using aquamarine crystal, a light blue color, so I added a small pinch to the resin so it just had a very translucent light blue effect which brought out the blue a bit, and at night if I put it in the sun first then went into the dark, it was just a tiny bit of glow, it just made the pendant have more dearth. Then I tried a few with a larger amount of glow in the dark yellow with moonstones and very small amounts of larger German glass glitter. Mixed with the moonstones and the little shards of German glass glitter, it sparkled, and this one glowed quite well...so many things to try!
