292. Resin PAPER Will UNFOLD So Much Potential!

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi all, what should I test with this? What other uses can you think of with resin paper? Let me know in the comments and I may test it and shout you out in the next tests 🤩🤩🤩.

[@Kreepykrafts]

Oh you gotta try some colored uv resin with the cut bits scattered 😍 using it for suspension is an awesome idea! Gonna definitely come in handy ❤

[@ladyaga2338]

I wonder if coating the resin paper with resin to get a smother surface can get rid of the micro bubbles and make it even less visible. Love the effect of the 3 strip hart. I’ll try it myself. Thank you for another great idea. Your brain must be working overtime ☺️

[@shannonedrie8193]

I was wondering what if you used a paper that has no texture like instead of using parchment paper try wax paper? Parchment paper is what we call it in the US I believe

[@shannonedrie8193]

That might get rid of the micro bubbles completely (see my first comment)

[@lilmsmetal]

You could lay strips on to of a partially filled mold, then add a little more resin, then more strips, then more resin/powder, before backing with black. That would give more depth. I LOVE the confetti heart! It’s so pretty!

[@lindawood2946]

This could be a brilliant way of sectioning off the dragonfly wings from the body - I'm going to give it a try

[@daniel..cooper]

Oooh, let us know how it goes Linda 🤩

[@pepethepatriot7524]

I've seen the ice resin folks use resin on tissue paper, which is awesome! It actually turns the paper transparent - so if you use tissue paper with a design (or stamped with a rubber stamp) it keeps the design while the rest turns transparent! It's a cool technique for sure!

[@alcg3981]

I've printed tissue paper and used it as inclusions, but preferred printing on transparencies. It came out cleaner on the edges.

[@cherylabrams7590]

Can you tell me who the ice resin volks are and how do I see their stuff sounds amazing

[@judyjohnson2699]

It works! The paper is called non-stick parchment paper here in the US. What we call butcher paper did not work at all. It needs to have that slight waxy feel. My main objection is that I didn't need to BUY anything for this project - THAT is rare! LOL! Thanks, Daniel - fun idea!

[@AngelCrafts1999]

We call it parchment paper in Canada as well

[@DreamsInColor71]

Wax paper too in the US

Three words: Homemade Resin Opals. You could use any kind of nailpowder mixed in the resin paper and just keep layering it on top of thin resin to make the colors pop.

[@paulamoore2007]

You never cease to amaze me. That's brilliant. I can see it would make great fairy wings.

[@aburdge1719]

Love this video. Try quilling strips of colored resin paper strips to form a design in a coaster mold. Quilling paper is curling strips of paper into coils and nesting them next to one another. Bet that would be a stunning mix of paper and resin crafting.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Great idea 💡 🥰

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Yes! 👍😊

[@christinemassey8358]

The paper reminds me of rice paper used in decoupage. Your ideas could be extended to combining decoupaging with resin paper. This would make available so many colors and resin techniques to a decoupage project ! Crazy!

[@daniel..cooper]

Very interesting idea! 🤩

[@sharolyn9287]

Great idea!!!

[@dianalambert5466]

I make junk journals, and I have made some gorgeous resin paper. Tissue paper colored with alcohol inks and resin after it dries. Also can use printed paper. Huge fun and often striking in collages.

[@toughtimes6596]

If you use 2 pieces of clear plastic and do this, it is more translucent. It also has less texture. I usually do it a bit thicker, but thinner can be so versistile! I can see another weekend having fun! Its also a holiday here in US, so I get Monday also 💞

[@RosesResinPeace]

what kind of plastic? i wondered about it, but thought it would probably stick to it.

[@toughtimes6596]

​@@RosesResinPeaceEVA works best - I have used clear plastic tablecloths and file folders. Resin slides off almost all plastic unless it's pre prepped with acetone wipe or sanding.

[@trinleywangmo]

Love your creativity. You could create miniature origami figures and put those into the resin molds...

[@SunshineSomeday]

Think about doing a wavy barrier or an accordian fold type barrier in a pendant mold to be able to make a pattern in multiple colors. Even a chevron or spiral.

[@kikibalser]

It immediately reminded me of vellum. Very cool, Daniel.

[@theolderwomansviewagematte2218]

If you intensified the colours before spreading and curing, then once cured cut the bits into shapes to make 'stained glass' with black between the colours and attach them to earring pieces. Or use as a window hanger.

[@DanceQueen5122]

What a fantastic idea thank you so much Daniel I would cut the resin paper with different shape, edging scissors they have all kinds out there zigzags shapes,curved shapes. I want to thank you for opening the resin door for me. I’ve been doing resin on and off for 10 years I started making Organite Chemtrail busters & pyramids. By cabochons and jewelry is becoming my recent favorite. Thanks to you.!❤

[@christinamasson5254]

Oh my gosh, you could make flowers with this stuff that would be so delicate. You could punch little shapes out and use those shapes for teeny tiny details but since it’s resin, it won’t make the bubbles like dried flowers might. I bet it would work also for repairing your fingernail if it was damaged. You could even do it in colors and then cut little shapes and put those thin little slices of shapes as decoration for doing nail art. I think that you’ve got a winner here. 👍🏻🙏🏻🥰 Oh, I had to make an edit. Here’s another idea… because this is flexible and if you added more resin, it would pretty much disappear, you could create little stands that would elevate tiny pieces within larger molds. 😊

[@hrodebertcoad9848]

That last one gives me a really good idea for dice

[@Becka.M-D]

I apologise, another long one, please bear with me… Have you considered making a black tinted resin paper? Then try using past made cabochons to trace around on to card to create a template for each shape & size starting with you most commonly used ones & then using it as a template to cut out your black resin paper to apply to your cabochons & putting under the resin lamp (with the mirror underneath) to see if that sets solid. That way you could create a stash of pre-made backing to keep at hand. You could trying different colours as well. Then if you find a stamp cutter that is the size & shape of the backs of cabochons you could pre-cut lots quickly as well. You could layer a few & cut into strips & then mix strips or other shapes you cut out from the stack almost like a puzzle. You could have multiple one shaped cabochons with the same colours but each would be different. For example five cabochons, five coloured heart shaped resin papers, five strips from each coloured resin paper heart. Eg Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue. One heart could have strips in that order (R-O-Y-G-B) 2nd ❤️ (O-Y-G-B-R) 3rd heart (Y-G-B-R-O) etc Or R-G-O-B-Y. You could create confetti circles with a hole punch, or other mini confetti shapes with punches, die-cutting machine, scissors, scraps the endless possibilities… 👩‍🎨💭👨‍🎨💬👩‍🔬💡👨‍🔬

[@arachne1969]

BRAVO DAN. Have you put it in an ink jet printer? I wouldn't put it in a laser printer but taping it onto a regular sheet of printer paper and printing a design or letters has a multitude of potential. (By the way, your paper is Parchment paper in the USA.)

[@daniel..cooper]

I did this year's ago with card stock and an epoxy table top resin to make Cinderella's castle, from an old German magazine from I think the 1950's. It turned out awesome. I had printed it out on really pretty paper. It was hard to do and I needed to make to the paper even stiffer to keep its shape better. It turned out amazing!! I love your videos. I have learned so much from you!!

[@capatainnemo]

[@goodies707]

[@LynzCraftz]

A little off topic but I wonder if it will run through an Embossing folder? Great video !❤

[@bluejootheundergroundgamecat]

I actually do something similar to make cellophane wrappers for my miniature candies I make from polymer clay. I take a razor and make a thin spread of UV resin on glass, cure it, & then use the razor to skim it off the glass. It makes a film just like cellophane! I can tint it too that way for any colored 'cellophane' that I want. Yeah there really is so much hidden potential with UV resin 😃

[@NinaHansen2008]

Daniel, please read!!! I tried this idea, using a fair amount of mica powder to color the resin before turning it into paper. I cut it into very thin strips - perhaps 1 mm. I curled these around a cocktail pick to make coils. Then I poured a bit of uv resin into my mold, cured it, added the curled up strips and more resin. Cured that, flipped it over and put holographic film on it, and placed it in a bezel with a black back. I like it! I think it might be even better with strips of different colors… very festive I think! Thank you so much for resin paper!

[@daniel..cooper]

Yay! Love this idea Nina! 🤩 Will try soon 🥰🫂

Daniel, this is cool. Awesome experiment. I’d love to see more of this…

[@raquelromano5310]

My favorite is the one at the end with the chopped up pieces. I’d love to see you try one of the first ones with the nail powder strips, but without adding more powder to the back of the entire thing. At that point, after curing the strips to the back, do a thin layer of clear, cure it, and then either add more nail powder before backing with black, or just back with black. I think a thin layer of clear first will help the strips disappear and blend better. You won’t get the pillow effect, though, so it would be a different result overall.

[@SunshineSomeday]

Oooooh. You could make a sea scene. The strips could look like seaweed in water. 22:16

I wonder could you use colored resin then put it in a bigger piece to make ghostly figures floating in the piece.

[@daniel..cooper]

I think it would work if the paper is the right thickness, definitely 🤩

[@johnabernethy5736]

If you color the resin before yo make it into "paper," you could make ribbons or sculptures with it, then when fully immersed in a resin shape, the texture would disappear, and only the color would remain, but in whatever shape you had given it.

[@lauriegardonis3851]

Hi Daniel, if you had a die cutter for paper and some cutting dies, you could really get some intricate designs. I wonder if it would work in an embossing folder .

I love that "mistake" bubble in the heart! It's the coolest spot! Gives the illusion of a drip of water! :D The pyramid strip - it looks like the beginning of the formation of a tornado! I love experimental stuff usually more than "perfect" calculated stuff lol I think the second heart, you could have gone with another round. So start as you did, cut the strips, go back to the mould, fill it up and place some more strips. Then do the dusting, back everything up with black and finish it up as you did. I think that would help even the pull and give a smooth back anyway. Plus it will give more depth to it! (I think lol I never worked with resin but that is what I would want to try if I worked with resin lol)
