You have no idea just how useful your videos are. They're simple basic easy instructions to follow along & remember. Not to mention thorough. For someone about to start it's wonderful. Plus they're just plain entertaining to watch. I've really enjoyed them. As evidenced by how many I've watched before even getting around to trying my new kit. Now I'm going to watch this one because we have the same mold. Then I'm going back to the video I was about to watch of yours when this was recommended by RUclips. Love the experiments and money saving tips too!
Hi Steve, love you’re videos. Just sharing a little tip I use, when putting your stickers in, I tend to pop a tiny amount of resin into the mold first, heat to remove bubbles, add my sticker then pour the rest of the resin on top. Still learning myself, just sharing the love.
You're ABSOLUTELY not the only "messy crafter" out there 👋 Thanks for that heated blade tip! I sure can use it, as always great tut, awesome personality! Thanks 👍
Doing open backs and have found it difficult. Thank you for the tape idea, I used tape before but apparently didn't work the bezel enough to securely seal it.
Oh I really think that these are wonderful. I can’t pick my favorite. I absolutely love the cufflinks, of course the silver hearts make it special. I also love the larger green one and then the blue round one. Thank you so much for sharing. I still haven’t tried resin yet. Maybe after the holidays. Have a great week.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I should make notes but usually end up going somewhat in a different way my work may be bi-polar considering the directions I take our tree is up going to add lights later and sometime this week take pics
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Yes and when it turns out I need a pleasant surprise my poor brain feels scrambled most days and I exercise it more than my body but find I love learning and being stimulated hopefully my body catches up some day...hehe
Is it possible to layer different opacitities of resin to make a cameo necklace? I've some ideas for classic interpretations as well as some goth/horror inspired ones.
Steve please help me! The front of my pendants look okay except for a few bubbles after it cured. However the back of my bezel look bad because I made a mess. Is there a way to clean them up? I don't want to throw them away. I have popsicle sticks and wood stuck to them.
Great video...can I ask what brands of resin you like? I was looking into getting craft resin. Have you ever used it and if so what is your experience with it? Looking to make pendants and keychains too :)
Hi Steve, Thanks for making these tutorials they are very informative. You said in your video that you would add the link where you buy your chain from but I can't see it. Could you please tell us where and what size you use .
Do you have to seal the little picture for the cufflinks? What is the purpose of sealing it before pouring the resin? Could you just put the picture in the resin directly? what would happen?
I happend to have some issues trying to "peal of" the finished piece of the tape. It sticked strongly to it and not my jewelry is sticky on that one side. Does someone has an idea what to do? How to remove the stickyness?
Hey I’m a diabetic and epileptic so it’s difficult for me to get around as much as I used to be able to I used to be a very good gymnast since I was 4 to 13 got diagnosed diabetes at five and Epilepsy at 6 1/2 I’ve also got a few surgery sense so it’s difficult for me to keep up with my physical health mentally I’m very strong physically I’m not as strong as I used to be would this really help?
This has been very helpful, thank you so much for sharing this. One thing I wasn't clear about, did you let the original resin in the bezels cure for a while before adding the doming resin? Or do you make all the resin, including the doming clear at the same time, then add it after you have filled all the bezels if it's been about 30 minutes so that all the resin is at the same "age"? Thank you so much!!
And again, when you are pressing your open bezels down on the tape,...packing tape not painters tape. Painters tape doesn’t stick very much bc it is designed to be able to pull off easily without pulling fresh paint off. Packing tape is very sticky bc it is meant to hold a heavy box
Gloves babe if gets on your hands it can cause a reaction which is very nasty and sore and itchy you a nice person I'm worried about your hands sweety 🥴😘
I'm sorry but you lost me in a number of places. Cuff links: all I saw was brown paper workspace. All prep work was off-camera. Commentary: please work to a script, then it will flow rather then hearing pauses, ah', oh's etc. Though you may have all the information in your head, we are dumb-bunnies. You must assume that your audience has no knowledge at all. But beware of losing your work going off camera.
Thank you. Its so refreshing to have someone down to earth & honest ( & easy to follow) help us beginners. Cheers 😉
Just bought these items..not yet attempted this lovely craft..It will be a good demonstration for me Steve, thank you

Which stage needs really good ventilation because of the odour? The entire time it’s setting or just the first little while?

Hey Hi.. Do You Mix Paints In Your Resin? And What Kind Of Paint They Are? Can We Add Glitter Too In Resin?
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts thank you so much sir.. 😊🙏🏻😊
Thanks for informative video
When you are doming. Do you add just Part A of the resin or a mix of both?
Steve McDonald Arts and Crafts thank you. That’s very helpful.
whats the best resin part a & part b 1:1 ratio to use for your projects?
i'm curious?
Could you use uv resin to dome?
How do you removed the resin out of the jewelry if it messes up
They're cute 😍 especially the cufflinks
Great video...can I ask what brands of resin you like? I was looking into getting craft resin. Have you ever used it and if so what is your experience with it? Looking to make pendants and keychains too :)
Does alcohol ink in resin affect resin drying?
Hi Steve, Thanks for making these tutorials they are very informative. You said in your video that you would add the link where you buy your chain from but I can't see it. Could you please tell us where and what size you use .
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Thanks Steve, I am in the UK.
Do you have to seal the little picture for the cufflinks? What is the purpose of sealing it before pouring the resin? Could you just put the picture in the resin directly? what would happen?
What about sublimated pictures or printed vynil do they need to be sealed?
I loved this video, thanks so much.
Where do you get your bezels and chains?
Have you tried UV resin?
I happend to have some issues trying to "peal of" the finished piece of the tape. It sticked strongly to it and not my jewelry is sticky on that one side. Does someone has an idea what to do? How to remove the stickyness?
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts thank you, I will definitely try to use the alcohol.
Can I use regular tape doing this ?
Okay I see it thank you
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts 😁

That is packing tape, not painters tape, that you used to seal the images for the cuff links
