How to Make Your Own Dice Set | Liquid Core Dice

- In this video I go over MY process for creating the magical swirly dice that everyone is going crazy for these days!
I know that the process that I go through is far different from the other makers as far as I can tell, but I think I get decent results overall. Just be careful when using UV resin, and be really careful when using a pressure pot on enclosed spaces like the glass orb that I use for my process, it can be dangerous.
The combination of glitter effects and the liquid swirls makes for some seriously cool looking dice! This is far and away my favorite d&d dice that I have ever made. Having a Wish specific dnd dice makes me happy! I can now also use it to bring back my wife, which is an added bonus I guess. Good to have her back.

I'm really curious about how this affects the roll result distribution.
I plan to test it in a future video testing dice fairness! As well as how weighted dice really effect your rolls :)
I wonder that too
I'm guessing with how well he gets the air out it should be pretty fair. Even with a little air I'd think because that little bit is free to move it shouldn't really effect how random it is (at least that's my theory lol)
@@jessicaglovsky5704 depends how centered the ball is and how the density of the resin compares to the ball.
@@scottchristofersen2367 very valid point! Didn't think of that
As corny of a joke as that wish spell was, I love it! Feel free to include your wife in on any future skits like that. It was actually well worth the wait :-)
Now that she is alive again, I'll happily include her :)
@@Rybonator u better
“Hey, missed you.” One would think she’d be a little more angry when she got back lol. I guess that just shows what a great person your wife is.
Oh she's the best. She would NEVER sacrifice anyone for a soul stone
Na, it's passive aggressive jaja
what's the story behind the whole sacrificing his wife thing? I see it all over this channel and it seems interesting.
Alastor But With a Gun he made an infinity stone dice set and of course to obtain the soul stone you have to sacrifice that which you love most. So he started an arc about how he sacrificed his wife to be able to make his soul stone die and this was the end of it.
I think if you added a little bit of glycerin it would make the glitter suspend longer and swirl better! Overall it looks great :)
That's a great idea. I will give that a go for sure!
That's a classic trick if you've ever made your own snowglobes :)
Adding nitroglycerin adds a nice blast as well
@@Rybonator Hey, Seriously Creative does resin shakers and she uses a little piece of clear plastic to cap her holes, so the resin can seal on the first go. You may want to take a peek, she seems to have a method down pat.
Hey there! Quick question - for the glycerin thing would it be the food grade kind from the grocery store? Also would it be instead of water or in addition to the water? Im really looking to try this out!!!!
I'd love to see this with mineral oil and say drops of red water! You could get a cool bloody lava lamp type of effect!.
OHhh that's a great idea :)
@@Rybonator It may alter the balance of the dice a tiny bit though, so experiment with different ratios of oil and water and test the dice extensively if you're gonna do it.
I love this idea!
You can test any dice by floating them in saltwater.
Won't the oil and water emulsify after a while, though?
I like how she wasn’t mad at all when you wished her back.. sacrifice must be a norm at the Rybonator household
Everybody knows that Rybonator and Sacrifice goes together like Goblins and Dice.
@@Rybonator who said dice
Where are the dice??
Knowing me, I'd paint the orbs to look like pokeballs before putting them in the dice lol.
These look so cool, btw.
Don't tempt me frodo. I can have a gold+silver set and a pokeball set haha :)
@@Rybonator Do it.
The power of random internet people compels you!
It would be interesting to have a pokeball inside a glass orb that’s only slightly bigger, that way the pokeball could roll freely inside the dice
Livi Hand how would you put the Pokéball inside the glass orb. T opening is tiny af.
Bianca Brooks maybe not glass, but you can get tiny fillable Christmas ornaments that open like gacha capsules
"I will implement gold into anything and everything I can in my life" finally someone who GETS it
It is in fact my passion to bring gold to all the good people in the land :P
Big Pharaoh energy
My first thought when he said that was 'this man is a dragon'.
Ah! Put myrrh in the orb, ground frankincense in the resin, and gold painted numbers.
God-Emperor Approved™
Hey, fledgling dice maker here. Your tutorials are incredibly helpful, easy to follow, informative, and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you for the kind words :) I truly appreciate hearing that
That silver and gold dice is so gorgeous, I need to get my hands on some resin so I can make myself a version with holographic glitter!
Oh absolutely! That would look spectacular :)
I really like that you're one of the only channels I know that consistently shows every failure.
Took some trial and error, but that came out really nice! Also, congrats on the return of your wife.
Worth the effort in the end :) And yeah she's ok I guess ;)
Hahaha! Yeah your wife is back! Now you have the power of the soul stone and the wish spell! YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE!
The universe is whatever I make it ;D
Who else expected the intro to be like "What is going on my aesthetic boys its fresh"
Haha Yeah it's a pretty common track
I've seen people freeze water to add resin to close. this dice looks amazing. glad your wife's not mad.
I've heard that might work, I just have doubts. As well, it'd be hard to find a 16mm spherical ice mold haha
@@Rybonator you could always start with a 1 inch cube and melt it down lol.
I was thinking it could help you close your sphere and get a good closer without any bubbles.
"I will implement gold into anything and everything I can in my life" Same, gold is awesome. Also the dice are really cool
Gold is 100% my aesthetic
It is a great feeling making something yourself. The feeling of accomplishment when you have worked out all the flaws through trial and error. To be able to sit back and look at the finished product. I love that feeling.
I am glad you show the flaws as well. Even the mistakes look good, they have their own character.
Absolutely! It's an expensive hobby to get started in, but there's just something about creating it yourself that makes it magical :)
These look so amazing! Also this might sound a bit wild, but a good tip for getting a good cover with the uv resin is to freeze the ball after you fill it with glitter and water. This will give you a solid base to cure the resin on so it doesn’t fall in and the result will be the same after the water melts. This is also useful for a project similar to this on a bigger scale.
Oh that's a good idea! I would be afraid of the glass cracking, but I can give it a shot for sure :) Glad you like 'em!
Would the ice end up expanding outside the glass since you have to fill the orb to the brim? Would the glass break?
Water expands when it freezes you wouldn't be able to fully fill the ball.
Sorry, I forgot about the ball being glass when I commented so I’m not sure if that’s will be a major problem.
Water expands when freezing, sure. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will expand enough to break the glass or anything. Given glass has some strength after all; it could likely withstand a very small amount of water expanding a very small amount.
Could run the numbers and that wouls.give you a good guess as to if it can withstand it, if ya gonna try
*gasp* You did iiiit! Congrats! When my molds are done and I get some orbs and UV resin, I'm totally trying it out! Maybe try with different liquids and see where I can get.
Edit: I made the molds differently, btw. I made a silicone base in a cup, waited for it to cure completely and then put more silicone and the die. When done I take it out and cut one of the sides carefully to not hurt the die and the top number! This way I can reuse the dice for molds AND don't need to go through the whole scraping process at the end (especially bc I don't have that much time and patience DX)
Sounds like you are using Squish molds! Those are really popular :) I still need to give them a shot sometime!
Also thank you :D
that sounds like a really interesting process, is there a tutorial you used?
Yes the glitterdice! Thank you for taking the time to make them! And now your wife's back so it's a double win!
Really I couldn't have asked for better results all around haha
I’m not sure why I watched this, since I don’t plan on making dice. But I watched the whole thing because I was so fascinated. You explained it very well and I appreciate that you included where you went wrong.
Well I'm glad you like the process even if it's not your thing :) I figured if I include my fails, others can hopefully avoid them!
I've seen crafters use pieces of clear tape or clear sheet of plastic to cover the opening in resin shakers, maybe you could give that a try instead of letting it drip into the bulb and trying to cure it before too much of it falls in?
Hmm good call, I'll give that a shot :)
These look great! I am making the potion bottles from the DMG and have been experimenting with all kinds of liquids and glitter, mica powders, etc. Have you tried using isopropyl alcohol instead of the water? I don't have the exact formula but I find alcohol and a touch of water makes that glitter swirl forever. Thanks for the great videos and tutorials!
I have not tried that! I'll have to give it a shot in the future. I was doing almost straight guess work on the liquid. You probably have a better idea than me :) Thank YOU for the tip!
I too am a fan of Pokemon silver! These dice look amazing! I’m glad you got your wife back lol
Me too, really missed her ya know? :) Also thank you!
You're the main reason why me and my Group of friends are going to play our first game tomorrow ❤️
No kidding!? That's awesome :D You're going to love it. Just remember to have fun and lose yourself in the roleplay aspect of it. It's so much more fun when you can just lose yourself in the character :)
@@Rybonator yasss I'm so excited, going 2dm this game because none of my friends wanted to read the rules 😅 but I'm definitely going to try to encourage them to role-play I can't wait :))((
Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy these premade? I don’t have a set up for resin crafting and I’d like to get my fiancée some for Christmas. 😃
Check out Dr. BellCookie Games, they are doing preorders for similar styles soon :)
Best hand modeling of all time!!
Glad you finally got your wife back, and that she isn't too mad about the whole sacrifice for some dice thing XD. Also that die is gorgeous! I love the how silver swirl is accented by the gold.
She get's it. She understands that it had to be done. She's great.
Also thank you haha :) Glad you like it! I'm always a fan of the gold numbers.
My fiance just had his birthday a several days ago, i wish i saw this video much earlier as it could have been such a great gift!
Ahh dang! Well tell them happy birthday :)
That looks beautiful, it gives off an awesome magical vibe!
Thank you! I like the celestial vibe it gives as well :) Very proud of these!
"BABY YOU'RE HERE"
*Cuts to Reece's ad*
"Are you drooling?"
Congrats on your wife's Resurrection as for the gold an silver both looked amazing
It's good to have her back :) Thank you!
Yesss so cool I just saw a giant glitter dye set that was waaaay out of my budget and was going to RUclips how to make one. Soo glad this was in my recommended ❤❤
this might sounds odd, but both you and your wife have great voices for narration!
Thank you :) We've been working on them since we were born!
I really enjoy and appreciate how you show the screwups as well as the amazing finished product. Not all RUclipsrs do that, especially on the woodworking/DIY channels. You earned a subscribe from me, good sir, and +1 CHA.
Finally! I have a 10 in CHA. Been operating at a -1 modifier for too dang long!
I'm glad you like the mess-ups :) It's the best way to learn after all! Thanks for subbing :)
oh godly dice... im in awe.
Glad you like them :D
@@Rybonator im glad you made them
thanks for making this video! I was really looking forward to seeing how a swirling dice could be made. The silver one looked amazing!
Of course! Glad you like it :)
Yay! You have your wife back!
As I was watching this, I was thinking that it would be cool to maybe get some leag-shaped confetti to put in the sphere for an autumn-themed die.
So glad to have her back :) It get's lonely ya know?
Ohh that would make for some awesome fall dice!
I only use baby oil in a slower moving resin piece and usually only in the bigger pieces, so I'd use water in these smaller ones too.
This is really cool, thank you!
Good to know! If I upgrade in size, I'll try oil again.
Thanks Mrs G :)
you did an incredible job. I take my hat off to you on your success.
Thank you my friend! I appreciate that
That is so cool! I showed this to my husband and now needs this in his life lol :)
That's awesome :) I bet he can find some for sale out there!
The house of the mouse now has your name, number and You Tube Address... Clearly expect to see a house lawyer in the next few days about the stone reference as well as the Main Mouse claiming they invented your dice process first! (no one expects the Disney Inquisition!) (I mean clearly I do as I have just warned you...wait is that a 6 foot talking dog at my door? Dear GOD!!! Is that a 4 foot talking DUCK???!!! What on gods green earth is he yelling at me?...I'll be right back.........) .................
Don't get Hyucked up by the big Goof
@@Rybonator I actually heard that in his voice when I read that! (LOL)
Really Love your content! You should try to make a dice Ring where the dice is the "gem"
I actually have something similar to that in my to-do list :)
@@Rybonator awesome sauce excited for it!
Nat 20, wife back, "I guess so" haha!
She's nice I guess :P
Ugh RUclips tell me when my favorite dice channel uploads challenge
I'm a favorite of someone's? :D
@@Rybonator you're definitely my favorite!
I did not realize how badly I need these
Now you know how to make em :) Get crackin!
I wonder would the swirl effect look better with 50% water and 50% glycerin in those glass orbs?
I've heard that would make it WAY better. Gotta try it sometime :)
It won't give you the nice swirls, trust me I tried lol
@@bigtgamer1 It's probably too thick. Maybe 9:1 or 4:1 would be better
welp- yet another idea to make! lol Thank hun and Welcome back wifey!
I'm always trying to put a dent in people's wallets haha :)
Dude! Dude! Duuuuuude!
First they are so f-ing pwetty! 😍
Then: your favorite Pokémon Games are Gold and Silver? Now I love your channel even more! Maybe you could do dice with miniatures of each of the starters in them! ☺
Also: I'm glad the soul of your wife is finally free again :'D
I actually planned that at one point haha :) Just trying to find good enough looking tiny pokemon. They have to be REALLY tine to fit in most dice.
Also thank you :D
@@Rybonator if you wanna be rlly mad you could try to sculpt them yourself with polymer clay or something similar xD
But I can also understand that that would be a hell lot more work^^
I just hope you'll find fitting miniatures soon :D
Also: your welcome :'D
This was awesome, would love to see more of these "custom dice with stuff in them" videos like this, and the druid one. Maybe some experimentation on how to keep elements staying in the middle and not floating up to the top or sinking to the bottom of the dice. Necro dice with bones in them would be amazing for example, could be attained by cutting up some skeleton miniatures!
Check out my Halloween set for ones with skulls in them ;D
But that would be a good video topic to show how to suspend things in the center more easily. Good idea!
Two haiku for you
I love these tutorials!
Your channel rocks hard!
Seriously I
truly enjoy your channel!
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for all the
Haikus, they mean a lot to
Me, thank you kindly
Haha, I've had a bunch of those glass balls sitting in my Etsy shopping cart because I had the same idea. Good to know it works!
I'm curious about how balanced these are, have you tried them in salt water?
I am certain that the saltwater won't be effective with this set, as it's got so many different materials in it. The best way to test these will just be to roll them a whole bunch. Which I plan to!
@@Rybonator It also occurred to me why people might recommend using mineral oil instead of water - it doesn't expand when it freezes, and it has a WAY higher boiling point than water, so it might not expand and contract as much as water in temperature changes. Water can also grow algae if it's not kept in a dark place. It could be worth trying mineral oil too to see which one stands the test of time better.
@@VGlauren alcohol actually sounds like the best bet. Some everclear would work great.
@@SylviaRustyFae Didn't think of that, good call! Although I wonder if alcohol could corrode any of the additives like the UV resin or glitter
Algae dice. Make it happen
That is so beautiful omg I adore silver end gold together that dice is so precious what a wonderful job!
Thank you for the kind words Zelda :D I'm glad you liked them!
Why don’t you have a subreddit?
Can I make you a subreddit?
That’s it, I’m making you a subreddit
Didn't think anyone would be interested :) Go for it!
r/Rybonator has been created. Post in it and I’ll add you as a moderator
It's SOOOOOOO pretty!!!
Thank you :D Glad you like em
this is def my fav dice youve made so far, its beautiful!
Thank you! Me too :) It's just got a magical look to it
Thank you so much for including safety info for working with resin!
Of course :)
I wonder if you could make your resin orb caps away from the orb first, on a surface they don't adhere to, basically just a little dot that you can place on the opening. You could place it over the opening then resin it into place. Might make that capping process easier?
That's not a bad idea! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get the size right. I know that some people use clear silicone caulking to fill the hole which works well too, but you can see it a bit more.
Best video yet 😅 cant wait to try to make these dice
Glad you like it :D Let me know when you do, I'd love to see!
Where did you find the tiny glass balls for the core of the dice?
Great job... I think adding those music notes in it and you got bard dice. Lol
Have you thought of casting a ball then do slush casting so you can make them for any dice?
Thank you! And yes that would make some awesome bard dice!
I haven't thought about that, but I might have to now ;D
BIEEEEEEEEEEN SHE IS ALIVE
Muy Bien :) Good to have her back!
Oh my gosh y'all are cute 😊 thank you for the laugh!
The fails were very cool to see. The dice with the water bubbles reminded me of the eye dice where the iris stays up (but like, spider eyes I guess!) The gold die with the blue ink is seriously pinging my "unique dice are interesting" radar, haha! And of course the final result was amazing. Thank you for sharing everything with us!
Oh she's the cute one, I just borrow the cuteness haha.
Glad you like seeing the fails too. I got a lot of em :P And yeah the uniqueness of them does make them kinda cool too :)
I don't know if anyone suggested it, but a mix of clear glue and water will help the glitter stay suspended longer. People use those in those time out bottles for little kids. If you mix the right amount of water and glue the glitter will stay suspended for so many minutes after mixing and the child can watch it settle. When it's done, the kid gets up. But yeah, just a suggestion you might could try one day if you wanted to.
I have heard that a few times now, and I need to give it a shot! Thanks for the hint :D
That's so clever! I love those! They came out really well too!
Thank you! Glad you like them :D
I love how positive and smart this comment section is, time to become a subscriber!
Maybe you could try a oil and coloured water mix. Dunno if it would look good but it might plus it will have a cool colour separation going on while it waits to be rolled.
Ohh that would be very lava lamp-ey :D
This sort of thing would be interesting to make some sort of Christmas snowglobe sort of dice? Also welcome back from the dead Rybowife !
I now insist on being called Rybowife at all times.
She now is making me call her Rybowife
@@rybowife888 its a good nickname!
@@Rybonator accept your fate its the perfect nickname :D
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST. Great job Ryan! This is actually the exact process I had in mind for these, so it's good to know it's not more complicated than I thought! I've also heard you can use isopropyl alcohol for the liquid too.
I was affraid of that evaporating before I could get it filled and leaving a bubble, but I've heard water + alcohol is a great combo for swirls :) Can't wait to see how you give it a shot!
Oooh you should do this with the big d20 and make it like a proper snow globe!!!
Gotta find me a suitably large insert replacement :)
i really hoped you used purified water and not tap water for this, thats why people use ababy oil i assume; so it doesn't rot or whatever
Baby oil just doesn't swirl like AT ALL for me. And no I didn't, but I will in the future :)
Of you pull a low vacuum on the water you use it will remove some of the dissolve gas in the water so you can have even less bubbles in the final product
That's a good idea! Hadn't thought of that :)
make a set of die that looks like the milky way seen from earth
The duck lord Ohhhh that soynds lovely! Maybe one of those glass galaxy marbles to put in...
i have so many mental images right now and they're all gorgeous.
Using some purple/black dye in the water with glitter would be a great way to make this happen :)
@@Rybonator yay
i just had a idea for this if you're going to make it. And its a idea for painting the number. I dont care what colour you use but i do suggest you try mixing in some glitter for a sparkly effect.
EDIT:Im sorry if im a bother but i just want to say that if youre going to make these to not make them full blocks without transparancy.
@@Rybonator oooooh
This looks amazing!! And I'm glad you got your wife back from the dead lol
Me too, missed her ya know :) Also thanks!
I feel like the water dye would work better if you dye the water before you put it into the orb.
Now that's what SMART people do. You've come to the wrong channel bub.
(Also thanks, that's probably a good idea haha.)
Your dices are awesome !
Thank you Barbara :D
Your work makes my inner dice goblin happy.
That's my entire goal :)
i'm super stoked to see how these were made. beautiful. i wish i could afford to make dice tho.
You can always build up slowly to get the materials you need :)
You should try making slytherin dice
Ahh the one true house Dice ;D
Rybo, I just realized that you can use this kind of setup to basically make a Magic 8 ball. A divination magic 8 ball with a custom d20 inside sounds so cool.
Hahahahaha! I LOVE that ending! So happy you got your wife back though, now you have extra hands to help you with all your cool crafts, these dice are AWESOME!
Really lucked out with that Nat 20 roll I guess :) Thank you!
I own an old school survival from from my late great grandpa. A feature of it is a small compass on the pommel of the snife, which uses water to allow the magnets in the compass to work. Despite being fully enclosed with no space for water to evaporate or escape, it no longer has water in it to function. I worry using water as you have will get this same effect from my compass.
Next time, fill the water to the brim and then freeze it, it'll make it easier to put the UV resin in
That's not a bad idea! :) Thanks for the tip!
For real that joke was worth the wait 😂😂
Whew, months of build up made it worth it :)
as a fellow "pokemon silver and gold are the BEST" fan, I absolutely loved these! don't think I'll attempt making them though, otherwise I'd do nothing all day but shake and swirl them around.
also congrats on the return of your wife! the payoff of the joke was well worth the wait :)
It has become a significant distraction for me now haha. Glad you like them fellow Gold/Silver nerd! :)
Yeah it's nice to have her back. She's cool I guess :P
So I don't know if it matters too much, but if you fill your inside globes full of water with no air, that should help prevent it from breaking. Water does not compress very much under pressure, as do most liquids. This was a neat video. I wish I had the set up to do things like this.
Good point :) Probably why mine worked out pretty well. Glad you liked the video! Nothing saying you can't eventually get set up for this yourself!
I've been wanting to make dice like this, they're so beautiful! I love the finished product. Are these dice balanced?
This one seems to be so far! Though my testing will be more extensive later.
they look so cool
Great video, thanks for sharing the whole process!! : )
Thanks bud! Glad you liked it :)
*cries in critter cause the DnD beyond add at the beginning has Molly* Long may he reign
Giveaway of the Soul Stone dice now that it doesn't contain your wife? :P
Haha can't give them away for legal reasons unfortunately :/
The only time you would have to worry about a globe imploding under pressure is if there is air in them. Check out Bernoulli's principle.
Will do! Thanks for the info :)
Damn these are beautiful dice. Now I want a set :(
Thank you! Glad you like em :)
Great video watched it on my work break
You know watch this and wonder what would happen if glow in the dark meet swirly core???
Don't tempt me frodo...
@@Rybonator The precious they calls to us....
i just gotta say, you got beautyful hands
You know, I'll say that's a first I've ever hear that :) Thank you!
Do you think that mixing the water with some glycerin would make a cooler effect?
Some people have suggested that, I wouldn't have even thought about it. I'll have to give it a shot :)
@@Rybonator a lot of homemade snowglobe recipes have glycerin in the mix because it "thickens" the water, making the particles swirl and float longer before settling. should work out for a better effect.
Di is singular. Dice is plural. Love the videos!
That's old English actually :) Dice is both singular and plural now!
@@Rybonator We'll call it a draw and you just keeping making beautiful dice.
in my opinion a discord server would be cool
I think I am going to try and tackle that soon :)
That would be fantastic, I already spend most of my time on Discord anyways haha
Yesss lol wife for the win😂💜🎀💜
Glad to finally have her back :) She's a good wife ya know? :P
Rybonator Happy wife, happy life lol. I just shared your inside joke with my hubby, and we had a good laugh. He’s also relieved that your wife is ok now lol.💜🎀💜😂
Yay! Your wife is back!
Also, absolutely love the dice 😍
Me too, Missed her a bit I guess :P
Glad you like them! Thanks :)
