Cathy Koch Thank you for setting the record straight about our "collection and repurpose" abilities! I would even go so far as to say that makes us a bit of a genius in the imagination field! ;)
Loving the red/amber. On my screen the silver looks a lovely aqua shade! As always you gave us a GREAT money saving tip as well as very creative. Thanks so much
I can just imagine every time you go food shopping or buying other things, the most important bits are in the packaging for you to keep & use in a project one day!! Sort of like when you buy a toddler a cute toy for Christmas and all they want to play with is the wrapping paper & boxes their present came in 😂. Love your work Steve you are very inspiring
This is a great idea, Steve. I am relocating to the mountains as I've mentioned before. Have you any ideas on how to pack up and move all my "collection and repurposed" supplies that I have saved. I mean besides the obvious I need to figure out a way to organize them in the new place. It's easy to organize ordinary craft supplies. It's quite another thing to organize repurposed items as they are so many different bits you have cleaned and gathered. You know what I mean. How do you organize empty cereal boxes, pudding cups, plastic bags, acetate sheets, toilet paper rolls, etc.? An idea for a vid????
I enjoy bling in all things. Affordable bling is the best. What an awesome idea! I will now hoard tinsel in all colors and sizes. (As I watched your video I immediately thought about the aluminum tree we had during part of my youth. Thank you for triggering a sweet memory.) Great video, as always.
Also works with the iridescent, foil and colored easter grasses. I recommend rubbing them with a used dryer sheet first to remove excess static electricity from the plastic.
I tried it once with iridescent decorations, they turned out beautiful. And i also tried with cutting long strips from foil wrapping paper and it turned out beautiful too ☺️☺️
I actually just bought myself some Pro Marine supplies' a mix ratio 1 to 1 I'm really excited it comes out really clear I got two smaller bottles I'm unfortunately while they are being delivered one of the bottles was damaged I let Pro Marino what happened and they're sending me a new set of Earth in which is really awesome of them so not only do they make a very nice merch resin also different sorts of resin but they have a wonderful customer service team
Hahaha!! I, too, save so many pieces of this and that for my resin! My daughter has gotten so annoyed at me for asking for her garbage that she told me to stop asking and just take it!! I can’t resist clear, coloured candy wrappers, bubble wrap, hard, clear plastic, pretty paper, oh this list goes on and on!! I believe one of my favourite things about resin is all the inventive items you can use with it!!
I know this video is a year old, but I wanted to let you know that used packaging, wrapping paper, and other colorful and shiny packaging can make some really pretty glitter that you can make as fine or as chunky as you want. I've been making my own glitter for a long time now, but I didn't think to use my Christmas tree garland. I have to admit that I took out my box of Christmas decorations and took out some red and gold Garland and started chopping it up! And you don't need much off the end to get quite a lot of glitter. Thankyou for making this video a year ago. I wasn't doing resin then but I am now! I also want to tell you that over time, I developed an allergy to resin as well. I'm sure you know how uncomfortable and painful it can be. However, I wasn't going to let that keep me from my craft. I bought a respirator, nitrile gloves, and protect my skin with cream before I pour. Again, thanks! ❤️💜❤️
Ugh! I also am a “hoarder” I keep all these lil things thinking I can make something out of this. I actually feel super dumb that I didn’t think of this! I bought some beautiful mesh like wide ribbon at Christmas thinking I can use for resin or nail art and I’m lost at what to do. I wish you uploaded this while my stores were having 75% off Christmas items 🤔
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts lol it’s prob better i didn’t see this when sales where on. I’ve just recently found a 1$ glitter company and my glitter stash is getting out of control! I’m holding out on buying glitter for now, but I will 💯 remember this hack! Oh wait they will def have some tinsel out for Valentine’s Day I will be waiting for that 90% sale! Thanks again!
@@hollylowery26 Nice one! I was thinking the same thing to make very fine size flake for mixing in paint when I airbrush. Thank's all for the tips everyone!
You seem to be an expert at glitter! Isn't glitter, all silver, just with a colorant over it? I made a disc with blue holographic chunky glitter and it turned to silver holographic glitter in the sun! It was sooooo disappointing, as it was something I was going to market some day, as a garden ornament!
You think I am a horder? 1. I recycle 2. I save things from the trash 3. I keep the rivers clean 4. I keep wildlife safe 5. I bring beauty to things 6. I repurpose things 7. I bring smiles & joy to people 8. I give to others more than most 9. I earn a living without a boss. Can you see things differently? Are you crafting yet? Crafters lives matter. I use every color, for every color!
Every time I use moverlease on my molds whether it be the aerosol or just a cast and craft stuff for some reason I get these water spots or what looks like water spots on my art pieces my resin art pieces even if I use the aerosol or just the past and crafts stuff I'll spray it in their dual-layer and like as it starts to be almost so I'll just kind of like rub it in and then let it dry and then I'll pour my resin in and then when I feel feel it out it's nice and glossy but as you're looking at it and almost looks like water spots on a clean glass
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts i do a light spritz but I'll try a fine mist and see what happens, I do want to say that using the aerosol spray for diemolding is a lot easier than the cast of crafts that specifically for resin I bought me a can of the Kay me molding spray and it works just as well
I have wanted to do resin art for a couple of years but I'm finding some scary videos of people saying using epoxy resin is extremely dangerous, one wears a full respiratory mask. So now I'm scared, this is the first time I've worried about art, please help is it that dangerous?
Alot......of ppl with artsy fartsy brains get lotts of labels.. Idc. Call me whatcha want. I hate seeing things go into trash. Like my shreaded mail makes excellent mulch. Or packin material. Think y'all. Love watchin ya. Have u saw a video of brown paper glued elmers glue on the floor that looks like leather? Gonna do that in my bedroom. .An if it don't look good then u can always cover it with whatever flooring. Im gonna do it or die tryin. 💌💞💪✌🙏😘🤗

We do not hoard, we collect and repurpose! LOL! This is a great idea! Thank you 💖

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts That is too funny!
Loving the red/amber. On my screen the silver looks a lovely aqua shade! As always you gave us a GREAT money saving tip as well as very creative. Thanks so much
I did this a few years back and thought I was being silly when I did, glad to know I'm not the only one that's done this.
Am I the only one who likes these videos just to listen to him talk. Lol. Such a fun unique voice. Lol
I just did this with a pink holographic Christmas bow and it worked great. A hole punch worked well too, if you're patient...

Look at how long your list is now of subscribers of your special group that’s amazing I can’t believe how big it’s grown this year you’re awesome!

They would look fantastic in pen blanks too, thank you for sharing x
They look really good! Thanks for sharing.
As always, you deliver with the great ideas!! Thanks Steve.
Also works with the iridescent, foil and colored easter grasses. I recommend rubbing them with a used dryer sheet first to remove excess static electricity from the plastic.
Wow what a great idea of recycling the bits u used I would have chucked away
Woah I've never thought to do this before! Cool! I swear resin crafts have absolute endless possibilities
That's actually an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing. Been working on binge-watching ur videos I can't get enough. 💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I tried it once with iridescent decorations, they turned out beautiful. And i also tried with cutting long strips from foil wrapping paper and it turned out beautiful too ☺️☺️
The simple ideas are always the best 🦆💕
Thank you kind sir
This is an incredible idea!! Thank you for sharing!!
I love your videos, thank you for for sharing tips and tricks! Keep up the good work!

shoot i NEVER thought of doing this before . THANKS dude
Thats brilliant idea steve hahaha
Thank you. Brilliant ideas.
Cool...I wonder if one could use an old blender to make glitter faster. lol
I thought the same too but i guess the foil will get caught in the blades and ruin the machine
How about some herb scissors with multiple blades?
Hahaha!! I, too, save so many pieces of this and that for my resin! My daughter has gotten so annoyed at me for asking for her garbage that she told me to stop asking and just take it!! I can’t resist clear, coloured candy wrappers, bubble wrap, hard, clear plastic, pretty paper, oh this list goes on and on!!
I believe one of my favourite things about resin is all the inventive items you can use with it!!
Put it on a cutting mat. Use a rotary cutter and run it back and forth over the glitter. It will make it even smaller
Great idea
Great idea. Thanks for sharing

You are a genius!
That’s pretty awesome
Very cool, but it's just passed Christmas buying time... Guess I'm off to dig through my own Decorations 😆
Great idea I'll have to try it all that stuff is on sell right now
All that stuff is almost free right now. 75% off up to 90% off I have seen.
@@hollylowery26 I'm on it today thank You time to stock up
A coffee grinder is great for making glitter! You can make it finer.
Ooooooo!!! That’s an amazing idea!! Thank you! Now to find a coffee grinder somewhere....
I have thought of using a coffee grinder to grind up shiny bits but worried it would just be dust instead if flajes
@@mignoncreatoroffunward3203 you just barely tap on the button. Just tiny bits of energy and look at it.
@@hollylowery26 Nice one! I was thinking the same thing to make very fine size flake for mixing in paint when I airbrush. Thank's all for the tips everyone!
I clicked on this SOFAST!!! Is it hoarding if we just KNOW we will reuse it? Eventually...one day...
hey great idea, have you made resin shakers?
You seem to be an expert at glitter! Isn't glitter, all silver, just with a colorant over it?
I made a disc with blue holographic chunky glitter and it turned to silver holographic glitter in the sun! It was sooooo disappointing, as it was something I was going to market some day, as a garden ornament!
i wonder if you could cut it down further with a food processor or blinder to get glitter dust. I
I wonder if I could make “fine glitter” if I put it in a blender or food processor 🤪
Hi Have you ever tried mixing in Glitter Glue?
You think I am a horder?
1. I recycle
2. I save things from the trash
3. I keep the rivers clean
4. I keep wildlife safe
5. I bring beauty to things
6. I repurpose things
7. I bring smiles & joy to people
8. I give to others more than most
9. I earn a living without a boss.
Can you see things differently?
Are you crafting yet?
Crafters lives matter.

Would a grinder work?
Also what is water clear resin?
