Comparing my homemade Gelli Plate with the Gelli Arts Gelli Plate

- Hopefully this video will help you decide whether to invest in a Gelli Plate or make your own. I made my gelli plate a couple of years ago, and it is now a bit pitted and weathered. I could of course melt it in the microwave, but I love the texture it provides. What do you think?
Here's the link to Lindsay Weirich's (The Frugal Crafter) video where she shows you how to make one: • Make_a_permanent_gelat...
Nice to see your comparison of the two plates. Good results from both. I always thought the homemade would go mouldy but after two years yours is still going strong. Thanks 'Nina.
+maria clegg You can remelt the homemade one to make it smooth again, but I like the texture from the pitting 🙂 xx
I love them all. I think they’d all be lovely for different styles
They both have their charms! I have a couple shop bought ones but after seeing this I'd like to give making my own a go. Thanks for the comparison and link for the recipe!
+Linda Fitch You're welcome and hope you give the homemade one a try 🙂
That was such an interesting video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I'm after a round plate to do some printing. So rather inspired to make my own.
those finished prints are simply gorgeous!!
+Crafty Crafter Thank you. Gelli prints are so addictive. I was glad to be able to use them a project too 🙂
Finally got to watch this video!! Been so interested to see! I've been wanting to buy a gelli plate... saving my pennies! These are sooo pretty!!
+ZeeCee Creations The Gelli plate is such a lot of fun Marsha, either home made or store bought. I'll be getting mine out again soon! Hugs xxx
Beautiful and such a contrast love both
Thank you 💕
Decisions decisions! Both work beautifully. I do like the texture from your homemade one. I've not made one to try, but now I might. Thanks for sharing the recipe, too.🖒
+tori swanson I much preferred my homemade plate when I first bought the Gelli Arts one. Interesting comparing them side by side though!
EVERYTHING YOU CREATE IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!!!
Aww, thanks so much Donna 💕
I like the prints from both plates. I recently bought myself a gelli plate from gelli arts and I love playing with my gelli plate. You never know how your prints are going to turn out. I love that about it. Thanks for doing this video.
+Laura Murphy Thanks Laura. I'm glad I did this experiment 🙂
Pretty prints. I have both types of plates. My homemade one pitted but I like the texture. Finding the ingredients was the hardest part of making it. Having both kinds gives us variety in our prints. Great job of comparing them.
+carol m Thanks Carol. I was surprised how different the prints were, doing them side by side.
Thanks for the comparsion video, I have a store bought one and I love it! Happiness to you.
+Crystal Dragonfly We all love a bit of Gelli printing. I think it's because we don't have to think about it too much, and can just lose ourselves in the fun!
Thanks for the comparison Nina. I never bought a gelliplate, and I made my own by the recipe of Hanny Tromp. Seeing your plates side by side I must say they are both so different and both so beautiful....I couldn't choose if I had to. Another great test, thank you so much! X
+Mieke Middelhuis If you'd have asked me before this experiment I'd have said homemade is best, but I prefer some prints from one and some from the other. This was interesting for me. Thanks Mieke xxx
I love them both. I like that you get two prints of the same on the homemade one. very good comparison. Thanks! Diane
+Diane Bumback Thanks Diane 🙂
This is awesome Nina, I'm in the process of gathering the ingredients for a homemade Gelli plate! I was searching the web for a recipe, and think I've got it. I'll let you know! thank you so very much ❤️️
+Tara Gillen-Howie Tara, you will love your plate. They are so much fun to use. I used a recipe from The Frugal Crafter. Pink Poodle Crafts also has a good one 🙂 xxx
Thank you so much Nina that's a great tutorial. I think that both bring out some interesting stuff 👍👍👍😁 I really love ❤️ them all.
+Mags Nash I must dig them out again! 😊
You can renew your old gelli plate if you wish by cleaning off the surface with alcohol - melting it in a plastic bowl in the microwave - pour the liquid in your brownie square - put it in the fridge for 2 hours - a new gelli plate
Thank you so much for doing this comparison, Nina. I like both plates. I like the texture from the homemade plate and the brighter colors from the store bought plate. I think either plate would be fun to have. Tfs Hugs, Shell
+TheTapeQueen Thanks She'll. I like them both for the same reasons as you 🙂 xx
Nina, this was fascinating. I must admit to saying I really liked the Gelli Arts plate version. I've just got a gelli p,ate for Christmas and I'm really enjoying playing with It. Thank you so much for another brilliant video. xxx Mags
They’re so much fun aren’t they. I don’t get mine out as often as I should! 💕xxx
Thank you so much Nina, although I’ve seen this before, I really really love ❤️ watching you experiment again, and I felt the brought Gelli plate was a much sharper print. But, they’re all useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags. I still have my homemade one and find they are both still useful 💕 xxxx
thank you for doing a video comparing them side by side. what i have learned is that your homemade plate makes better prints. wow : )
+Janet Visochi-Baum Thanks Janet, I love playing with the Gelli plate and I'll be getting it out again soon 🙂
I've had my Gelli Arts plate for about a year and after watching this, I will be getting my homemade plate out and see if it's changed like yours! I hope so because I love the texture and grungy look from your homemade plate! Both plates gave you fabulous prints, though, and I am surprised by the difference in some! Thank you for doing this comparison, hugs, Debra
+elvisisabigsweetie I'd be interested to know if yours has pitted too. Love the Gelli plate! Hugs xxx
They each have their own appeal. I like them both!
+Angelica Titus Yes, I like the. Both and certainly won't be giving up my homemade one. 🙂
I love the results from both!.My son brought me a small gelli plate for my birthday in June,but just havent been up to playing with it yet.I havent tried to make one yet,as contains gelatin in all the recipes I have seen,which I prefer not to use.Was great seeing all the different results 😊 X
+Lynda Pearce You will have fun with it when you give it a try. The small one is great for stamping. 🙂 xx
I like them all - I don't think I have a preference of gelli plate. I'm also very surprised by how lovely the paper turned out on which you had run the roller to remove paint between prints. Amazing the different patterns & textures you can get with gelli plates. Thanks for this video.
The difference is amazing. I love my shop bought one xx
+Tracey Platt I was surprised by the difference too! Xx
I like both version of yours. I only have a homemade one and I really like them. Love gellie printing!
+Lise Danis Me too, they're such fun to use in our projects 🙂
I love them both! I think it is just a matter of the look you're trying to achieve! Hugs xxx
+Debbie Dunham I was surprised there was such a difference! Hugs xxx
It's a tie! For some prints the homemade one is a clear winner, for some the gelli won. I have purchased a small one to see if I would actually get it used. I'm so happy, because they are quite pricey. I'll try and make a large one myself. Tfs! ❤️
I love them. Thanks for the comparison. I think I like the grunge effect of the homemade plate better. My homemade one doesn't have texture like yours but it's stored in an air tight container. I'm going to make a bigger one this weekend I might just cover it like you did and see if I can get that kind of texture. I always enjoy your videos thank you for sharing!
+Kim Gableson It took about 3 months I think for the pitting to appear. Thanks for your sweet comment 🙂
Thanks Nina - now I want to make one even though I have the Gelli Arts ones .. I prefer the texture.
+sherry thrash You will love the homemade one too!
I have the Gelli plate and I love it, but I really love your textured home made one.
+CraftySamarita I was surprised how different the prints were!
pretty prints !!
+josie gitto Thanks Josie 🙂
Great video! My gelli plate is also homemade using Lindsay's updated recipie and was made about 2-3 years ago. I agree about the added texture of the older plate is wonderful. I seem to remember her saying that you could also remelt the gelli plate and let it set up again if you needed to. Thanks for this video....I too was wondering about the comparison of the 2 plates. Sending love your way.
+Cathy Whitney Thanks Cathy! Yes you can remelt it. I keep putting off remelting mine because I like the texture from the pitting. I might do it though just so I can show a further comparison. 🙂 xx
Really nice prints fom both plates Nina! I am undecided which I liked best because they each produced really nice patterns and textures. I only have a home made one myself and dont see me being able to afford a store bought one any time soon - but I am happy with the results I get from that. I also really like the pages made from wiping off the brayer - in fact when I last used my gelliplate that was my favourite page! Lol Tfs Hugs, Ginny :o)
+BraveBlueRaven Art and Craft The brayer pages are some of my favourites too! I am shocked at how expensive materials are to buy in Australia. I don't think you are missing out though! 🙂. Hugs xxx
I like them both !!!!!
+Suzanne Hale Thanks Suzanne. Great aren't they 🙂
I like both bit have a slight preference for the home made one. I think if I wanted to try using one id try and make my own first. great effects and colors
+Angie Beaumont Thanks Angie. Both are great, but you would not be disappointed with a homemade one 🙂 xx
LOVELY!
+MR.VICTOR CRAFTER Thanks Victor 🙂
honestly I like the texture of your homemade hello plate the best
+Brenda Price Thanks Brenda. The texture is pretty cool!
Thanks Nina for recording the difference between the two plates. It would be nice to ha e a few extra p.ates around, by making so,e myself. I wonder though, if I would really make my own.... Thanks for all the videos, you take time to make for is.
+cheryl7476 I thought the same as you, but I am glad I made my own. I would love some more of the smaller ones. I have the 5 x 7. Must get the plates out more, the prints are such fun!
i like both...the pitting comes from the paper or brayer pulling up bits off the homemade plate...made a new one (8 x 8") and a 5 " round one last night...love both...will remelt the new one and add more gelatin as it's a bit wobbly. the round plate was my old 8x8 square remelted and it's firm and thick and i love it...sure...someone is going to bless me with the GE plates...in the meantime...i have a small collection of microwave glass square, rectangle and round plates to house my 'gelli's' and for someone who doesn't bake, a growing group of baking pans...
+Judith Morgan Good to know why the pitting occurs, that makes complete sense. I love the texture from the pitting so I'm reluctant to melt it. But I might just so I can show a further comparison! They are fun to make and I just love experimenting! 😃
Really interesting Nina!!
+Roz Willoughby I was very surprised!
I just bought a Gel Plate. I do like your home made one much better. TYFS
Thanks Bonnie. They’re such good fun ❤️
Your homemade plate works really well, if not better than the shop bought. I must look and see if I can find the recipe on the frugal crafter.
Great video,Nina! I don't have a preference,I love them all! I keep remelting my homemade plates as and when I think they need it. I made my plates following Stacy/Pinkpoodlecrafts video 👍Tfs. Hugs, Dee xxx
+BettsyDoodle Thanks Dee. I couldn't get used to my Gelli Arts plate at first as it's quite slippery in comparison. I like the thickness, stickiness and springiness of the homemade one. It was interesting seeing the results side by side though, and I was surprised how different the prints were. I still love my homemade one 🙂. Tfw, hugs Nina xxx
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Thank you so much for this! At the time, I believe you said your homemade plate was two years old. Do you recall the age of your Gelli Arts plate at that time as well?
It was new and had only been used a few times x
I just have the Gelli Arts plate never made one but love what you can do with it
+Donna L. Hanrahan Thanks Donna. They are such fun, I love all the layering 🙂
Interesting experiment.
Thank you 😊
I love both and actually it depends on what you want to do. Which style you want to give to your creation! Tfs dear Nina! xxx
+Katerina Mylona Thanks Katerina. A homemade one is definitely worth the effort for anyone who can't afford or can't get hold of a Gelli Arts one!
Great video.
Thanks Donia!
Hi Nina, I got to say I prefer yours, I love the texture better. Tfs Marina :)
+mari hop Thanks Marina 🙂
I have one of each, but haven't used ether one very much, I think it's because of the choice of my color choices. It's so different than working on a journal page where you have more time to thing about or test your paint combination.
+Linda Kichler You should just go for it and try not to think about what your doing, just be random. The fun is not knowing what you will end up with and you will end up with some fabulous and unexpected papers. Give it another go 🙂 xx
I love my Gelli Arts plate. I did make my own to start with, but there were techniques I wanted to try that wouldn’t work on the homemade one. I also have a Gel Press plate and love it as well.
Thanks Kristy. Its nice to have them both isn’t. They’re so much fun to play with 💕
Fun to watch. You use the same amount of paint on both, but one is larger.
I kind of liked both. I have a homemade one. But was wondering how you made yours?
6 of one & half a dozen of the other aren't they. both are nice. i like the home-made for the grungy effect, but then there are other prints i like the store bought one for the clearer prints. FINAL CONCLUSION: just depends what yr doing at the time. thanx for the demo's.
Would you say that the ink went on smoothly with the homemade plate? Try doing a test with a flat color for each
Thanks for the side by side comparison. I have a small store bought gelli plate and think I'll try making my own. I'd like a larger size and the price is much better making my own.
+Katie Goodale I much preferred my home made one when I first bought my Gelli Arts plate. Seeing them side by side is interesting though as I prefer some prints from one and some from the other!
Homemade gel plate is cool....tfs....
The gelli art plate the most. But jolly good job on making your on..👍🏻
Thank you 💕
Hi Nina - some lovely prints. I know you're enjoying the texture on your homemade plate, but when mine got a bit much, I just remelted it down again in the microwave. It seemed to stay smoother for longer after that. - Raewyn
+33hahaha33 Thanks Raewyn, I keep toying with the idea of remelting it, but I can't bring myself to do it yet, lol!!!
I loved the Comparison....
I would like to make my own Gelli plate soon...I have all materials at home....so soon will try it n make new lovely prints...... Thanks for sharing comparison
Nice video! When you have the homemade one that gives you all that texture, because there are pits in it, does it tend to make all your prints look a like with the same pits impressions? It was hard for me to tell in the video.
Thanks Linda. Yes, all the prints show pits on them, but the other side of the plate is smooth so I can use that as well. I hope that helps 💕
Very good comparison video! Have you tried melting your homemade one down and remaking it again? I've seen others say in their videos that they have done so several times and it makes it great again.
Thanks Itaya. I have contemplated melting it, but I like the texture, so I haven't as yet :)
Awesome prints, I had a homemade one first but it only lasted about 6 months and was always sticky, What recipe did you use, tfs Nina I would like to make some smalerl ones
+Maggie Lockley Thanks Maggie, I used the Frugal Crafters recipe. Here's the link to the vid. ruclips.net/video/h9taUh073vQ/видео.html
Thank you Nina
I have yet to make or buy a gelli plate but Im watching every video I see. I also have seen people printing from fun foam and also hard services.
+Crafty Crafter Yes, you can achieve some great results on glass sheets. Silicone baking mats are god too, and a mouse mat would probably work! You must try it, it's great fun!
Don't know what recipe you used for the homemade one - mine holds up to a year or so. And than I break it in pieces and melt the stuff. Works fine for me. for i pour it in the mold I delete the paint residue from the surface.
+Mincka's I love the texture from the pitting, so I don't know whether to remelt mine or not! 🙂
I made one. I like it! Lindsey the frugal crafter said you can reject it if it goes bad. You may want to remelt yours.
Thanks Charlotte. I kind of like the dimples in mine, but I will remelt it - eventually! 😁
They are both good but I think the homemade one is great.
Thanks Kay. I must get it out again soon ❤️
I tend to like the results better from your homemade plate. The purchased plate has more of a commercial look to the prints. It's almost a tie, both results are great.
Thank you. I’ve kept it as it is as I can’t bear to part with the texture ☺️
Hi Nina. I just got my Gelli Plate recently but have been very disappointed with the results I've been getting up to now. I think I am using the wrong types of paint. I have Dylusions paints, Jane Davenport paints and then a very cheap Dala acrylics paint. I've gotten the best results with the Dylusions, but with the others I never get a second print even though you can see the paint on the plate. I think the paint is drying too fast. I live in South Africa so we do not have the wide variety of craft supplies that you do, but what do you suggest - must I use a cheaper, thinner paint or is the problem not in the paint but something else that I am doing wrong? Please help if you can. Due to our bad economy, art supplies here are EXTREMELY expensive and I would hate to think that I have just wasted all that money to buy the plate and now I can't use it. Thanks Santa
+Santa Roos Hi Santa, sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your gelli plate. I am no expert, but I may be able to offer some suggestions. I have used all types of paints on my gelli plates, from cheap kids poster paint to student grade such as Liquitex Basics and have not experienced any issues, although cheap craft paints which are thinner seem to work best. Some paints dry quicker than others and this may be your issue. There are a couple of thing you can try. Firstly, try thinning your paints down with a small amount of water. This will dilute the colour slightly, but might help you achieve a better impression. You can also purchase a flow medium which will thin your paint without affecting the colour. Also look up slow dri retarder. You may even be able to add some gel medium (which you may already have) to your paint to help it flow better. Gelli Arts have started selling a speciality paint with a longer open time. I imagine this is regular paint with some kind of retarder added to it. I hope that helps😊
Chances are we will never get the specialised Gelli Arts paint here and if we do it will only be a few colours. We do however get retarders here and I will speak to my craft shop to get the best one. You are truly kind to make time to answer my questions. I appreciate it. Regards Santa
I made a homemade one, I love the way it feels but after a day it tore and had holes in some spots
Awww that’s such a shame 😩
Special K someone remade theirs and added more gelatin. Some things you need to keep trying at. This whole process isn't all that easy.
I preferred the more artistic look you produced with your home-made Gelli Plate. Both were nice.
Thank you. I did too 💕
It seems that the home made one is absorbing more color than the manufactured one, maybe because it isn't totally flat. was it like that in the begin with?
I mean, does the homemade is not totally flat from start?
+Irit Avraham It was flat when I first made it, and I could easily re-melt it again, but I like the texture from the pitting. 🙂
Is it easy to make?...i have a new manufactured one and i enjoy it a lot, but i like to try making things...:)
+Irit Avraham It was very easy to make. Here's the link to Lindsay Weirich's video showing how to make it. Have fun! 🙂 ruclips.net/video/h9taUh073vQ/видео.html
Thank you Nina ♥
I wasn’t happy with my plate. I really like the Gelli Arts the best. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Evelyn, gelli printing is such fun isn’t it 💕
I’m retired now and the eyes and hands aren’t what they used to be. A. Gelli let’s me be as creative as I want. 😊
Homemade prints onto fabric perfectly as it has a much more spongy surface to hold medium. Shop doesn't....
That’s really interesting! I’ll give it a try 💕
Did you know you can redo your homemade jelly plate?? I just did mine and it is smooth again.. Just wondering if you knew! Love your videos.. 😇
Thanks Janice. Not sure if I will remelt it or continue to enjoy the texture 😊
Nina Ribena its cool 😎 with that texture I think...
I like the home made one better
You put far more paint on the homemade plate. Hence the two pulls and deeper color. The purchased plate doesn't lighten color -- you just used FAR less paint.
Just clean and re-melt homemade gelli plate, then good as new.
+Claire Will Thanks Claire 😊
The homemade one is 2 years old? If so that's probably why it's more textures due to cracks. Either way both pretty. Thanks for sharing. Make a new homemade one and compare them.
Thanks Janette, great idea!
Nina Ribena your welcome! I just bought a speedball Gelli plate today and it works wonderfully. It actually wasn't that costly. I have all the ingredients for the homemade Gelatin plate. I will make a homemade one soon I also ordered a Gelli Arts Gelli plate. They all are a bit different. I wanna do a comparison with the three. I think there is one more brand on the market stampendous, I believe. I watched a tut on it and it didn't stamp very good. The plate appeared to be a harder plastic/rubber. Thanks again for the comparison.
janette aguirre-terry I have used home made gelli plates, and purchased ones. The large Stampendous one is my least favorite. Don’t know if it is because it’s so thin, or in fact it is a harder material as you noted. But yeah, not a fan of that one.
LOL your homemade one looks like the skin of a 100 year old man lmao but i do love the texture!
+Pink Poodle Crafts It does doesn't it. I might remelt it!
I just made a homemade jelly plate yesterday. It is as clear and smooth as my shop bought one.
You are comparing a two year old home made plate with a newer store bought jelly plate. This is not a good comparison.
Why don’t you clean up you home made one really well, then cut it up, melt it down in the microwave and make a new one and rthen compare the two? This does not make sense. At all.
Hi Golaleh. Thank you for your comment and feedback. To me it makes perfect sense as it’s showing my viewers the difference between a home made plate over time and a commercial one. Of course I could melt my homemade one, but I happen to like the texture it gives as if deteriorates. I did mention in the video that my homemade plate could be melted to make a new smooth one.
you know you can clean your home made plate and microwave it for about a minute and remold it. TaDa repaired
Thanks Stephanie, I do yes. I love the texture of my homemade one so much and used it again in a recent video. I’ve decided to leave it just the way it is as I have my commercial one if I want a smoother finish 💕
This is a fantastic comparison video. I think the pages from both plates look good. Thanks for sharing.
+Mary Ellen Cook Meynig Thanks Mary Ellen. I was surprised by the different results, but love both 🙂
