Thankyou 🙏 Great information, will keep in mind for next project. 😀💜🙏

Hi. I do not seal the embellishments. When you paint them with acrylics or chalk paint they don’t need sealing. But you can seal them with Mod Podge sealant, i have tried that. Once you glue this down should be fine. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏

@@suehowes8277 Thank you 😀💜🙏

Thank You 😀💜🙏

@@Snuske68 Hi. Excellent idea 💡. Thank You for sharing. Will keep in mind for next round of moulding 😀💜🙏 Happy Crafting

Hi. Yep. Can be, but results are worth the wait 😀💜🙏 Happy Crafting

Hi. After the shapes are fully dry and taken out of the silicone moulds, paint/prime them with gesso. This will give the shape a grippy layer so the paint can stick on them. Check out my mixed media projects, I use white gesso to prime my whole project before painting. Thanks for asking 😀💜🙏 Happy Crafting

Hi. Your welcome and thank you 🙏. I mostly use the acrylic embellishments on canvases. If you go to my channel and look at the playlist “MIXED MEDIA PROJECTS”. There are many projects there that you can use for inspiration. I remember once I decorated sphere ornaments, not sure I recorded the process but it can be done because the acrylic gap filler, caulking is flexible after drying. Just make sure it is ACRYLIC one that you purchase. Thank you for taking a look at my tutorial, much appreciated. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏

Hi. I specifically do not recall how many stitches I cast on, as this was long ago and still work in progress. But here is more info that can help you. Lapghan Blanket Cast on multiple of 2. Even number. Repeat one row pattern I used Kneedles :- circular. 5mm 100cm Caron Cakes “Pumpkin Spice” Cast on for Lapghan blanket size (90 x 122.5cm or 36x49” inches) This video was made long time ago and I do not remember all specifics and is still a work in progress. I bought 6 balls of yarn. I cast on approximately 200 stitches, I might be wrong on this. I usually eyeball my sizes. Please cast on even number of stitches until measures the size you would like your blanket to be. There are many charts on internet for sizing and casting on for different blankets. This website might be helpful doradoes.co.uk/2021/10/09/a-guide-to-crochet-blanket-sizes/ Also the KZbin video I give credit to for learning this stitch. All Free Knitting - How to knit the Double Stockinette stitch.

Hi. Excellent advice. Thank you for sharing. 😀💜🙏

@@Monikas_Handmade_Compendium I find tapping them or low drop of the mould will bring bubbles to the surface.

@@carms7859 Hi. Excellent advice. Thank you for sharing. 😀💜🙏

Hi. You would use glues to attach the acrylic embellishments to your surface. Please go to comments section, I have a pinned comment explaining the type of glues to use. Also on my channel, most projects use acrylic embellishments and you can see what glues I use and there is a playlist with video’s about using acrylic gap filler and moulds. Also in description box there is more information. Thanks for asking. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏

Most welcomed 😀💜🙏

Hi 👋. The texture balls are Art Stones by Finnabair Primamarketing. Finnabair has three sizes of art stones. Here is the link of what they look like on Primamarketing website. www.primamarketinginc.com/product/art-ingredient-art-stones/ In Description box I have list of what I used in this project.

Thank You 😀💜🙏

Hi. Excellent. Thank you 🙏.

Hi. Your welcome. First I would suggest to prime the cardboard with gesso. This will give the surface of cardboard a texture and grip for glues and objects. The glues i use are Finnabair - heavy body gel and soft gloss or matt gel. These gel glues are very tacky and hold strong after drying. Great for heavy objects like these acrylic embellishments. Any brand with these titles are good. Another glue which works really well is by Create It called Craft Liquid Glue. This is like glue gun glue, stringy buts holds very strong after drying. Both these glues I have used are still holding my projects together. You can check out the Mixed Media Projects playlist. Most of the projects their I use these glues and list them in the description box and most of the embellishments are acrylic. You can also experiment with other glues, if time permits. Thanks for asking and checking out my acrylic gap filler embellishments.

Thank you so much Monika@@Monikas_Handmade_Compendium

Hi Amanda. You can go to the description box and the names of the moulds are there. Also some listings for Aussie shops too including links. Not sure if all are still available but it is worth checking out. Just remembered Crafty Divas, Aussie as well, she has these moulds too. You may contact them and they can find certain moulds if not available. Very helpful service they have. Www.craftydivas.com.au. Thanks for asking. Let me know if you need more help. 😀💜🙏

Hi. Please refer to the comments section The first pinned comment by me has the details of where you can get the moulds. If you need further assistance let me know. Thank you 😀💜🙏

Hi. To be honest. This blanket is still a work in progress (WIP). I remember using one or two cakes as of the video. Depends how big you want the blanket. The larger the blanket the more yarn cakes.

No offence, but you have commented three separate times. You chose to waste time. If you are that dissatisfied - why not make your own video and hold your tongue of your opinions of others? Wouldn’t want you to waste other peoples time bitchin’!

Great idea 💡 thanks. Definitely a good way to release air bubbles 😁

Hi. Thank you for the tips. You are most welcome. Yes very true but they are good quality, still good condition to this day. 😀💜🙏

Hey 👋. Thanks for that info, actually I have not tied this. I love the grungy look. But I am sure if one takes their time a smoother finish can be achieved. You are very welcome 🙏 love to share 😀💜🙏

Yes. That’s a great idea. Most of the video tutorials on my channel i use the acrylic shapes i made. There are so many painting techniques, at the time I was liking the ones I I used. I am sure there are many more, as you can paint the acrylic gap filler, you can try other techniques yourself. 😀💜🙏

With the gaps, it is the way i filled them. But if you take your time, can be smoothed out. Yes i have used air dry clay too, smooth finish, i agree what you said. I have the border IOD moulds too, excellent for clay not so much for acrylic filler but can be achieved, I have tried. They do not age and do not yellow or crack over time. They stay the same. And stay flexible too. I am still using my bulk stash to this day. With the un moulding, you can pick them up and bend the mould see if they come of the sides and if they still stick to the mould. If sticky still leave them in longer. Also feel the top. Sticky needs more time. Also if they come out and feel sticky you can leave them to air dry. They will dry completely. You can also try one small shape and experiment.

I don’t think there is a work time limit. I did not feel rushed when I was filling up several moulds in a day.

Not concerned at all. Because it is a thin film on top of the moulds and the acrylic is fully dried, peels off very easily and you can wash off with warm soapy water too. To this day, some moulds still have the access acrylic on them and I can still peel them off and clean them. Apologies for late replies to all your comments. Much appreciate you taking time to ask. 😀💜🙏

That’s great. Thank you for sharing 😀💜🙏

Hi. I will take your suggestion into consideration for future projects. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank You 😀💜🙏

Hi. No worries at all. If that is your experience with ALL acrylic sealants that’s fine. The points I have made in my videos about Monarch acrylic gap filler still stands to this day. Just a point to make. I have stored the shapes made from this acrylic gap filler since making the videos and they are still flexible and ready to be used.

Hi. Generally I buy the moulds from online stores. Like Craftonline or Ebay. The name of the moulds are in the description box. The name of the larger silicone moulds are :- Prima Marketing Finnabair “ Mechanica, Cogs & Wings, Stars & Moons. Not sure where you are located but you can Type these names into a search engine and results should show where they can be purchased. If you need more help locating them let me know. Thanks for asking 😀💜🙏

Hi. Your welcome. That’s ok 👌, there are many brands to choose from. . Yes you can use any ACRYLIC filler. Just make sure it is ACRYLIC only and you will be fine. 😀💜🙏

Thank’s ❤ and thank’s for taking your time to answer❤

@@connienissen6816your welcome 😀💜🙏

Hi. Thank you 🙏 Just start, with simple background. Like paper or even tissue for texture on canvas, or something that you have already, slowly you build up an idea 💡 I’m happy 😊 to hear i have inspired you. Thank you 🙏 for taking an interest. For the moulds, the name of them is in description box. I got mine from online stores like, www.Craftonline.com.au, zuri-inc.com.au and some are from Ebay. Most of the Finnabair and Zuri moulds are not the cheapest but worth the quality. The ones from Ebay are cheaper and the quality is great. Depending your location you are best to search the name of the mould and see what comes up. Need more help let me know. Also what helps with budget for moulds is the online shops to have AfterPay. 😀💜🙏

Thank You 😀💜🙏

Hi Lola. Thank You so much for your kind words, much appriciated 😀💜🙏

Hi. Thank you. At this stage there are no updates. Same product, ACRYLIC gap filler can be used in silicone moulds. 😀💜🙏

Hi. Thank you 🙏 and your welcome. The silicone moulds, the names of them are in the description box and also where I got mine. I am in Australia thus links are to Australian online stores. For your location would be good idea to search online or store with the names of the moulds in the description box. Thank you for asking. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏

Thank You 😀💜🙏

Hi. Depending on the depth of the mould. When shallow just overnight or less. When larger or deeper couple days or more or less. If you like the material and what it can do then it is worth the wait. One can accumulate many shapes overtime. The acrylic filler does last for long time when used or stored. Thank you for asking. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏

Hi. Have you tried tapping or clicking on the CC icon. That should bring up some subtitles. 🙏

Hi Iram. Thank you. I understand. Have you considered increasing your volume. Will take note for future videos.

@@Monikas_Handmade_Compendium yes tried everything,,,your just very soft spoken i guess but do fabulous work,,,,very clever and interesting videos,,,what product do you use to glue your molds with?thanks

@@iramadloh6458 Iram. Yes 👍 I am soft spoken, but I will keep in mind for next time. Thank you 🙏. Love the process of creating canvases. The glue I mostly use is Finnabairs Heavy Body Gel. It is excellent for this type of medium, the mold shapes. Would highly recommend this type of glue. In the description boxes I list what I use in the projects too. Thank you for taking interest in my projects, much appriciated. 😀💜🙏

Hi k.d.5122. Thank you. You could do several ways to display. Place on a small stand on your desktop in your favourite room to admire and remember what this made you feel when you were creating this art piece. You may also incorporate this art piece into a larger canvas, make it a focal point and create around this art piece and hang the canvas on a wall to be admired by passers by. You may also make another two small canvases with flying insects and make it three to be displayed on a wall. You can also make more 4x4 canvases and make a collage on a bigger canvas and display on a wall or desk. There are many possibilities for this 4x4 piece of art work. Just use imagination 💭 Thank you for taking an interest. Happy Crafting 😀💜🙏
