I'm a fairly new sub. The more I watch you honey, the better I like you. Your quirky personality is rather like my own. Maybe you better hope you're not as crazy as me lol. (in a really fun way of course) I love the way you've come up with these money saving tips. Brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work you do putting into these videos and ideas for us. Happy New Year.
GENIUS! Thank you for all your videos. Not only are you informative but you are quite entertaining. Love love love binge watching your videos. Keep it up and keep me laughing. 😘
I just bought a square silicone mould to put inside my pyramid but haven't tried it yet. Those little pots are a great idea for smaller things and didn't know vaseline would work - thanks :)
Maybe you could use some silicone and mold that plastic piece, then you won't even have to throw it away. Just thinking. It's an amazing idea, ty for the share
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I was also watching the whole thinking you should do a resin pour one time to seal the sand in there so you never even have to dump....maybe do both of these ideas together! cast a silicone piece and then fill it with a resin sealed sand block for weight!
@@annelisecochran9291 But that kinda just defeats the purpose of the vid “saving resin” ~Have you ever tried pouring resin into sand?

Make it heavier/have more weight...you know?? Anyway, geez...I digress....sorry for rambling on & on!
The 3 houses on a base with lights and some of your tiny fence pieces etc would make a fantastic night light, or each one by itself for a small light. Brilliant idea!
Yes yes yes...I did a pyramid and put a clear party cup in the center and it did save a ton of resin...then I was able to put fairy lights inside the party cups, which you can't tell there's a cup in it, and then the lights are gorgeous...but I'm very new at this so I still need alot of help...these are GORGEOUS!!!
I just happened on this video and became a subscriber. I use water bottles for the pyramids and that saves lots. Thought you were very clever with your little pots. Most of my work is clear with flowers but I can save big on the pyramids. Good day from the USA!
Excellent tip! I'd seen something similar done with the pyramids for lights installation, but hadn't thought about smaller molds. I've got quite a few small cake molds that this method would save a bunch on!
OMG!!!! I would have never thought of that. Many many thanks Steve you just saved me money so grateful 🙏 your houses are super cute with the lights would make a beautiful town under the Christmas tree. That technique probably wouldn't work for a diorama would it? Once again great video thank you for your great ideas. 👍 hugs from Quebec Canada 🫂
Those look great and I can see it looking good on a nice piece of dark wood with the lights inside. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a happy and safe New year.
In a previous video you said that alcohol ink fades with resin. Well , I make tumblers with inks in resin to make for some very long lasting colors , and pigments as well...
This is a good idea ive been mixing my resin with salt it creates a good effect and makes me use less resin and makes my piece lighter but when I want a clear piece I'll try this method
very neat. Good way to create pieces that will be lit up as well. :D I would use marbles instead of sand as I have plenty of marbles plus I use the sand for crafting so might run out at some point. :P Also those little cook stones used when making pastry or pie crusts would work well to keep the pots weighted down. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best for 2021. :D - Heidi
Thanks for this helpful video 🙏. I watch almost all of your videos, which always give me great tips and inspiration👍. I have a very big request for you 🙏. Is it possible to create a silicone mold from a cell phone case? And if yes, how does it work? Do you think it's possible to make a Video of that? I would be so happy about it 🙏. Many greetings from Germany 👋
Awesome! Would like to do like to make a fake mug of beer - do you have an idea for the reverse of saving resin when the top needs to be covered for looks? Thank you.
I love the box you keep your jewelry pliers in.
These would be great for a fairy garden or fairy house for a plant! ❤️❤️❤️
Ooh! Think how many island pendants(getting mold next week!) I could make with that amount of resin!! Those little machine coffee pods would work too!
That is simply genius, and on bonus if its bit sea through you can later add led lights if you wish to turn it into lamp 😎👌
Love it!
this is so cool omg, I like the light-up house lol
I feel like I found my guru so glad I found your channel
Very good idea. I think I'd opt for stones instead of sand to avoid getting sand in the resin, but I'm clumsy.

Fun idea! Saving resin is always a good thing. Battery operated tealights might also be an option to safely illuminate the house molds.
GENIUS! Thank you for all your videos. Not only are you informative but you are quite entertaining. Love love love binge watching your videos. Keep it up and keep me laughing. 😘
Love the little box you keep your pliers etc in❤️and patiently waiting to see you doing this method with a pyramid

Your houses could be a little village under a Christmas tree💖. Thnx so much for this awesome idea

I was thinking the same thing. Some silicone putty would work great for making that
Nice to know how to save more! Thanks so much

that is awesome! cant wait to see the pyramid tutorial
That is a great idea. I usually use the larger moulds for my leftovers and although that gives an interesting effect, this is a much better idea.
I’ve used this same mold for cement. It makes really cute houses.
I can't wait to see the pyramid mould video!
Wow what a fab idea
Mate, love your videos!!!!.... you really inspired me to be creative with resin. Thank you so much!!!!....🦋🌻
Cue little houses!! Great idea too.
I love your tutorials!! When I joined your channel you were at 8k now you're at 19k! Your channel is growing fast! Best of luck!!
I'm so glad I saw this before I wasted resin.Thank you for sharing.
Your videos give so much pleasure to me. You are very talented.

That is AWSOME cuz in that space you can add different things such as color changing lights!!
Brilliant idea.
So very happy for discovering your super brilliant channel....
Ohmygod thats absolutely genius! Thankyou so much, that will make casting my mushroom pot lids so much better, I swear it takes like 80ml alone
This is a fantastic idea (and I love the lights in the house)!! Those house molds are great!
I BOUGHT THIS MOLD A FEW MONTHS AGO, NOW I CAN USE THEM!!! TY TY TY!!! 🥰
Those look great and I can see it looking good on a nice piece of dark wood with the lights inside.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a happy and safe New year.
Thank you so much. I have the same mold and only done once as it was a lot of resin and very heavy. Now I can. Thank you! X
If it's something where weight is a concern, filler material, like foil or clay works as well. Makes it more stable than empty space too
That is awesome now I’m going to be saving those little cup things now. Thank you!
Wow didn't know you would be saving that much
I think those houses are so cute! Great tip to save a huge amount of resin. Fantastic video as always 💜
Thank you for this, Steve!
Omg, you give the best advice, and demonstrations!!

You mentioned a video on painting the molds with mica powder. I can not seem to find that video, could you provide me with the #
