Be careful using hot glue, it can leave nasty burns if not handled correctly. Otherwise, I am sure everyone will enjoy creating this project.

Super nice, thank you. I am a fine artist, but always looking to experiment in other mediums. I have never tried hot glue- your piece is lovely. I am going to try it-have subscribed. Looking forward to more lovely videos.

Playing with other mediums is fun. I also draw, paint and scratchboard. I love working with resin, it is very addictive. Have fun with your hot glue 💕

Absolutely genius! Question at what point do we use the heat gun, and if we do t have one will a blow dryer work?

[@SueFindlay]

I use the heat gun to pop the bubbles. A hairdryer will move the resin too much. 💕

[@ralitheiss2782]

Hi, I love all of your pieces, so beautiful. You truly have talent. Do you have a video how to hang these pieces? I have a really hard time figuring out what is the best way.

[@SueFindlay]

Thank you 💕 For the small lightweight pieces, I glue D-rings to the back using a heavy duty Tarzan Glue. The boards are too thin to screw the rings on. For the larger pieces, I use Heavy Duty D-Rings and Hanging Cord (Doubled Up). Sorry, I don't have a video on this.

[@ralitheiss2782]

Thank you, that is a really good idea. I have tried felt on the back with a small patch of it on top under the big piece. So if you need to hang the piece just slice there and insert the hanging part, glue and let dry. Yet have to make sure that everything is attached really good. Time consuming.

[@MishlerFurramily]

This is beautiful! I have actually done a tree with hot glue on canvas and used acrylic paint for it, so I used gesso over the glue before paintings. I guess since you're going straight over with resin, you don't really need to gesso the tree first, huh? Anyhow, I really love this. This is so pretty!

[@SueFindlay]

I only use a sealer if I think it needs it. For instance if the wood needs sealing or I want a base colour.

[@berealrelentless6237]

Bravo! I want to make something similar for a yard art project, curious how the glue would hold up outside? and also do you have to use resin, any other options, geared towards outdoors. Be well and thank you.

[@SueFindlay]

Thank you. Not sure how well the glue will do outside. It is covered in resin, so I think it will be okay. Instead of resin, you could add a gloss sealer. I would recommend sealing the back also, before using outside.

[@shobhnabagthaliadhamelia2816]

Beautiful Rasin tree What is name of clay?

[@SueFindlay]

I didn't use clay in this one, I used hot glue for the tree.

[@weldmama]

i was wondering if the heat from the resin curing may have melted the hotglue but looks like that isnt a problem here. do you think if you poured casting resin instead over it where its a thicker layer it would cause the glue to melt??? i dont know what the melting point of the glue is but just curious. thanks for posting this video - very nice!

[@SueFindlay]

Because you are only pouring a think layer of resin, it doesn’t heat up too much. I have never used casting resin as a top coat, so can’t comment, sorry.

[@TexasRose50]

Omg, I love what I call naked trees. This piece is really awesome! Thanks so much! Oh, what is that place mat made of? Thanks again.

[@marial9925]

Very nice Sue! Question... have you ever done a hot glue tree or anything over the top of a resin piece? I am curious to know if so, did it pop off at all after some time? I'm wanting to do a 3D resin piece possibly with this method.

[@SueFindlay]

I haven’t used hot glue over the top of resin. I have however, used hot glue to create a free form style geode coaster. After a few weeks of curing, I was able to break the hot glue off the resin. I have found that hot glue breaks down over time, so do not think it to be suitable. I would use another material for your project.
