I use popcorn a lot in some of my resin projects. I also color it with food coloring. Just put popcorn in a baggie and a few drops of food coloring, shake well and put on a paper towel to dry. Something fun to try

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Interesting!!! Thanks!!

[@V.I.C.]

Omg what if the resin got so hot it cooked the popcorn and they started popping mid curing!!! Lol that would be insane looking i bet!! Lol they turned out adorable hun thanks for sharing!! 😊😊

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

That would’ve been my “viral video” for sure 😁😁😁

[@GrannyHugs]

😂😂😂That would be something to see.

[@pengyou26]

Next time try Epson Salts! It’s a great way to fill up a large mold without having to use so much resin! Plus it looks really cool! 😊

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Great idea!

[@StephanieDwyer-t7y]

It turned out really cute. Nobody is going to notice the stem except for you.🎉

[@TrakeDon-m4t]

Try spraying alcohol into the mold to get your prize out. They pop out like a pig in a blanket. Lol

[@VickyCooksalot]

Or soapy water and a blast from the air compressor. It'll shoot out like a cannonball.💣💥☄️😂

[@salonigandhi1608]

Wow this is amazing....so creative and different....thanks for sharing

[@gabrielleschmidt1435]

🎉This was fun to watch something different!😊

[@KarenYauney]

Maybe some ultra fine glitter to go with the popcorn😊

[@mycookies819]

Super cute great use of of easy to find product.

[@CarolErnst-j3x]

That looks so great , maybe you could do the pear one with real or fake pear slices and the apple one with real or fake apple slices and any other fruit or vege molds you have, oh maybe do a competition with your husband.🙂 I love what you create

[@gerripeter484]

Awesome idea love how it turned out very creative

[@shirleyandersen4724]

love how the pear came out.great job.🙋‍♀

Michelle, this is adorable!!!! Your mind never stops does it?! Never thought to use popcorn!!

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Right?! LOL

[@ReadingWithGreatGrandma-yc2wx]

You are so patient 😮. Fun piece

[@jennierenzi8739]

Hey Michelle maybe try pushing down on that center part of mold and pour popcorn in at the same time

[@toniahughes6818]

Cool idea. Turned out great and you wouldn't know stem is too short.

Thank you ☺️

[@tinahaynes175]

your pear started looking pregnant towards the end there lol I really love the seashell! It's really neat!

[@lisapowers5676]

Can put a funnel between the center and side of the mold, it will help add the popcorn easier 😊

[@beverlytinsley-minniefield2434]

Pretty cool pieces!! For the apple do candy and it will be a "candy apple"😂

[@UnityByNature]

Dying the popcorn different colors would be cool too

[@ReneeB5]

Just when I thought I should slow down on buying more molds lol… yep! I went ahead and purchased the pear & apple lol .. Corn is a very cute idea! 🩵

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

😁😁😁

[@traceywhite2480]

Definitely different love it🎉🎉

[@Ali-H3444]

Popcorn kernels is a first for me 😂 I think I like that mold though. Had it in my cart on Amazon. For hard to unmold pieces I always just squirt a bit of alchol in it. Then they slide right out. People say the alchol will dry out your mold eventually. But on a pretty cheap mold I don't really care. Thanks as always Michelle! Have a blessed day 🙏

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Yes alcohol works too but the kernel made a void in the resin stem so I couldn't even glue it together when we finally preyed it out.

[@pjfoltz8810]

I love popcorn. I make it once a week.

[@janesavage4733]

The best way to do it is to put all the popcorn into your resin and coat it all then put it into the mold. I have done that with coffee beans and shells. It works much better for me.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Yes, I was just trying not to waste resin, had I known I was going to use the rest for popcorn "extras" too I would've done that LOL

[@cindyskavland-cz3hw]

Oh my I love this!

[@hollylowery26]

If you hold the pear stem shut, then add resin and slowly let go of the stem you will prevent bubbles. I would try using tape to clean the outside of the mold. I would leave the 🍐 stem short. Not all stems need to be the same length. Very cute project. The pear will hold lots of goodies. 😉

[@mcuttercreations]

Very cute idea❤

[@uniqueresinartbymarlies3292]

Hey Michelle, alcohol is your friend when demolding delicate pieces, like the stem of your popcorn piece. I had issues when demolding snails. The antennas tended to break off until I started using a spritz of IPA into the mold and “massaging” it a bit. Things come out much more easily. Good luck.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

That is true, unfortunately a piece of corn prohibited the resin to attach to each other around the kernel and there was a void in the stem. But yes, I do agree!

[@cherylfelton4030]

What a cute idea!!! I would have never thought to put popcorn in resin

[@ritaprovencher6048]

Really cool idea! Where did you come up with the idea? I think it's great! Keep your ideas and projects coming! I'm a fan!!❤❤

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

My brain doesn't stop, I'll just be walking around whatever store I'm in wondering what I can put in resin, this was at the grocery store LOL

[@vickiecrabtree8313]

so fun!

[@toughtimes6596]

I took a glass jar, placed a mold inside. Then I poured popcorn in between the glass and mold, then filled it with resin. I use it to hold my "stash" of cash, and to potential burglars, looks just like a regular thing of popcorn 🤣. Sad to say, I saw it on 5 minute crafts, but it came out pretty awesome 😊

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

hmmm interesting!

I’ve never tried popcorn, but I do use a lot of crushed glass and coloured stones in my larger projects. It saves a fortune in resin!

[@juliasmith2000]

grab a funnel that has a big enough hole for the popcorn to go thru then u can move the funnel around and get the kernnals in easier. that was how i put nerds into a trinket jar mold that i did.

[@saundrawilson3950]

Hi Michelle, my name is Saundra and I’ve just recently started watching your channel and the work that you do with glitter is simply breathtaking. I too am a glitter lover do you think maybe you could do a crab in the glitter? Also, just a suggestion alcohol will takeoff, wet resin Isopropyl I think that’s how you pronounce it alcohol Julie from pouring your card out uses alcohol wipes for everything to clean up and it works well for her on her moles that she makes I saw the other day that she had one of her moves. I was so excited to see how theproject came out and it was just perfect. So just try a little alcohol that big ball you had. You would need a lot of alcohol but anyway it’ll come off with the alcohol. Keep up the good work cause I’m getting a kick out of watching you.❤❤

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Here is a video with a crab in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIDbZ6RsjctnpM0si=15MrE98xZA50gyD1. And yes I buy 99% alcohol by the case in this house LOL and I use it on just about everything. Hope you enjoy the channel, there are enough to binge watch a while LOL

[@saundrawilson3950]

Oh Michelle, this look like it was so much fun and I was sitting here watching you and I started laughing first to myself and then out loud. What would you do if you put those on the heating pad and the popcorn started popping inside the moles? Lol😂 but I loved it. Can’t wait to see what you do next.❤❤❤

Never thought of using un-popped kernels before. Cool! And it gave me ideas of using various dry beans and peas too. They come in a good variety of colors too. Would be extra-cute in the kitchen, maybe in a spoon rest. I like the apple, personally, as my kitchen is in apple decor. Very nice❤. Wishing you and hubby a very happy new year.

When I did my pumpkin mold I did the stem first with glow in the dark green and let it cure before doing the top of pumpkin top.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

What a great idea!!!

[@rawniemoon]

Using alcohol on your molds will cause them to dry out and need replacing more frequently. However, I did learn a trick from Wendy at TOONPISH Crafts, that you can you use just a tiny microscopic amount of alcohol on your brush or micro brush and then dip it into your mica powders to brush onto your molds and it will stay where you want it and it cuts down on most of the static cling and keeps it from getting all over the place. I mean you barely touch your brush to the alcohol tap it on a paper towel so that it's not wet. She's got a great video on her channel on how to do it but it works like a charm. And you can use any kind of soapy water or anything like that to help release your resin pieces from their molds. Sure alcohol works in a pinch but it's not recommended. And of course using mold release spray before you do anything helps a whole lot.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Thanks!!

[@karenalberts5396]

If you spray the mold with soapy water (instead of alcohol which can damage silicone) , molds empty very easy

[@weirdsoul6463]

Waaw 😘

[@VickieB3030]

Aww, too bad about the stem - though, you still made it look good with the paint. It might be cute to make a themed set with other similar molds; use peas and/or beans, coffee beans, etc.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

That's a great idea!

[@GrannyHugs]

[@deebeckham4754]

Luckily the outside can dry and you pop it off and use tape for the rest.

How about wetting the pop corn with resin before putting it in? Maybe to see better into the stem, shine a flashlight at the bottom?
