Bless you big! I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why my pens were not turning out right, way too much sanding and I needed to be able to multitask while they were curing. I was putting the uv resin on them like a tumbler. THIN COATS IS LIFE! 😅 and the way you rigged your lamp….genius! Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks for this. You can add a mirror under the turner when curing the pens - it doubles the Uv light and cuts down on time and makes sure all the angles are cured. Hope this helps.
Lysha great tutorial!! I would get yourself a UV flashlight also. Its great you can hit it with the flashlight for just a couple seconds to secure in place then you can go under the lamp for a full cure. Comes in handy when you just need to secure it for a second when doing more than one pen!
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I love how descriptive you are. Some people are very vague. Forgive me if I miss this , but where do you get your little pen holder that you stick the dowel inside of while you are working on others
1st time viewer, forever subscriber! I loved your video, it's so detailed! I've tried these and failed and your video showed me areas where I went wrong! Thank you! 🥰🌵🥰
Oh my goodness love thank you so much! I truly hope you enjoy my tutorials and so happy you were able to use this one to help you with your UV glitter pens!
Love your video. Question, how big are the rings you got? I purchased sines but it’s seems like they are to big. Also my pen did not cure in the first round.
I bought the large ones, they should be linked in the description ❤️ if you hav an issues send me an email at lyshabcreative@gmail.com and I can send you the direct link
Crafting is meant to be fun so don’t stress. And believe me there are plenty of projects I have tried that just haven’t been my thing and that’s ok too ❤️.
@@lyshabcreative2659 do you attend craft shows. I just moved to Tennessee from Florida my whole life and loving. I have so many ideas I'm like omg and just got 2 new puppies males. And 7 cats. I have anxiety . I want start selling things I get so many ideas in my head. I need to focus and prioritize. In order to declutter my head. I'm trying pen idea first just ordered them. Stores don't carry them .I tried to use a pen I already had couldn't put beads on it it frustrated me. How do you know what to charge them for? charge ugggg
Do you need to purchase a bunch of different spray paint colors that match the glitter you are using in order to get full coverage or can i just purchase a black and white spray paint?
Nope having spray paint to match is not necessary. Many times you can get great glitter coverage with just doing two coats of glitter OR using acrylic paints as your base color
@@lyshabcreative2659 Thank you for getting back to me!! I literally walked out of Michael's craft store when you responded. I did buy acrylic paint too.
I do encourage sanding in the beginning for prep for better adhesion of your resin. And in between layers after you have a few layers on as you might notice your layer being thick on one side or the other or to sand down poking glitter
I was watching your video again :) question after you rolled ur glitter pen on the parchment paper did you put it under the UV light or did you go right into putting the resin on?
Any uv lamp used for nails in a salon is perfect I wpuld say at least a 120 watt lamp or higher. The only ones I would avoid are those little dinky ones that sometimes come in a bundle with UV resin they aren’t strong enough in my opinion
Oh no! Have you tried the water hack? You lightly cure under your lamp then submerge your pen in a glass cup surrounded by foil and cure with yourUV lamp from the top or exposed side of the glass. I have tried it and it does seem to work!

They came out so cute! Thank you
Great vid!!! Ty
Thank you
I heard that if you place a mirror under your UV lamp 🔦 it helps with the curing
Wow haven’t heard that before I’ll def have to try that!
@@lyshabcreative2659 especially if you are using translucent molds it helps with all over cure ,instead of having to turn mold over for total cure
1st time viewer, forever subscriber! I loved your video, it's so detailed! I've tried these and failed and your video showed me areas where I went wrong! Thank you! 🥰🌵🥰
Oh my goodness love thank you so much! I truly hope you enjoy my tutorials and so happy you were able to use this one to help you with your UV glitter pens!
Girl you are so talented!!! I love these!!!
Thank you Deanna ❤️❤️
@@lyshabcreative2659 you’re so welcome
Do you cure a layer of resin before adding another layer to add glitter? Or just first layer add glitter and cure?
I did the uv resin then went right into glitter before I did the first cure, then carried on with another coat of uv resin
Love your video. Question, how big are the rings you got? I purchased sines but it’s seems like they are to big. Also my pen did not cure in the first round.
I bought the large ones, they should be linked in the description ❤️ if you hav an issues send me an email at lyshabcreative@gmail.com and I can send you the direct link
@@lyshabcreative2659 okay, I sent you an email of the ones I brought
Love this video! What wattage is your uv lamp? Your link let’s me choose byeeem 168w and 180w
Mine is the 168w one! Works amazing!
can you refill the pen with pen refills
Yes you can! These pens are refillable with the ink joy replacement or similar inks you can get on amazon
Good ideas beautiful but overwhelming I'm always scared to try I loose patience
Crafting is meant to be fun so don’t stress. And believe me there are plenty of projects I have tried that just haven’t been my thing and that’s ok too ❤️.

Where did you fund the jump rings
Found them on Amazon! All are linked in my storefront
@@lyshabcreative2659 where is your storefront
Do you need to purchase a bunch of different spray paint colors that match the glitter you are using in order to get full coverage or can i just purchase a black and white spray paint?

IS the sanding a completely necessary step? And why?
I do encourage sanding in the beginning for prep for better adhesion of your resin. And in between layers after you have a few layers on as you might notice your layer being thick on one side or the other or to sand down poking glitter
I was watching your video again :) question after you rolled ur glitter pen on the parchment paper did you put it under the UV light or did you go right into putting the resin on?
UV light and then start adding your other coats of UV resin over top
Is there a UV Lamp that you would suggest not getting over the one like you use in video
Any uv lamp used for nails in a salon is perfect I wpuld say at least a 120 watt lamp or higher. The only ones I would avoid are those little dinky ones that sometimes come in a bundle with UV resin they aren’t strong enough in my opinion
@@lyshabcreative2659 the one you suggested come in two watts - 168 and 180. Is the stronger the better?
What size are the rings that you attached to the top on the gel pen where the clicker is?
I ordered the large ones!
Hove ur pens!!! How long do you wait after you spray paint?
Hi there! Thank you so much!
Typically I wait maybe 10-15 minutes and the paint is usually dry
@@lyshabcreative2659 thank you 😊
Where do you get the rings for the charms?
I grabbed everything from Amazon!
What size of toggle did you use
I bought the silver small ones
Is your lamp 168 w or 180 w?
I have a 168w lamp
Ahhh! I tried this and my resin stayed sticky and never cured right :(
Oh no! Have you tried the water hack? You lightly cure under your lamp then submerge your pen in a glass cup surrounded by foil and cure with yourUV lamp from the top or exposed side of the glass. I have tried it and it does seem to work!
