Pretty gemstones with the crumpled foil technique! I love how the cured UV resin can bake in the oven with polymer clay!

[@laurajschiller]

I know, Right?!! I loved that when I figured that out!! Made things so much easier to do in the clay with the resin!! I hope you are having a great day, lady!! Sending hugs! :)

Love this idea. Thank you Laura.

[@laurajschiller]

You're welcome, Clare!! Glad you are enjoying it!! I recently wanted to do a project that requires larger gemstones...but of course, trying to buy that is plain crazy!! LOLOL!! So, now I can make my own!! Sending you my huge hugs!! :)

I never thought of using tin foil. Thats a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you, my dear Kim!! This one was a little more intense, but I think I did okay with it. I hope you are well...take care and sending my hugs! :)

I overbought resin and now I'm anxious to use it up before it expires. This couldn't be a more perfect project and what amazing results. So well explained and demonstrated, too! Thank you! I'm so glad I found and subscribed to your channel, Laura!

[@laurajschiller]

Oh Sandra!! Thank you, lady!! I have sooooo many more planned videos coming!! And thank you for your comment!! They really help me to know how I am doing on these crazy videos! It is SOOOOO helping me!! Plus, it helps with me preparing for more videos!!! I am not sure if you have ever seen my work, but I run the gambit. I am what I consider to be an "overall polymer clay/egg art/zentangle nut"!! LOLOL!! I will be suggesting people, start checking in with my "Laura's Life" vlog!! And, I am giving you a heads up here...to check out the one I will be posting on Monday!! It will be important for everyone and myself moving forward. But, that said, I am truly thrilled this video made such a difference for you!! I went off my schedule to do this video, but it just seemed necessary at the time. I hope you will continue to check in on what I am up to, and as always...sending you my big hugs!! :)

Saw your post on one of the Polymer Clay groups and I am so glad I did!! This is a wonderful beginner technique for resin users like myself! I just bought my first bottle of Resin and I am going to absolutely be giving this a try! Thank you so much! 💓

[@laurajschiller]

You are most welcome, lady!!! I am glad you enjoyed it! And yeah...I am not that experienced with the resin thing either, but I wanted to get a "gem faceted look" and I think this helps! Sending my hugs! :)

Finally, a complete tutorial for making and setting a faux gemstone for jewelry! I've been looking forever for a lesson on how to replace a couple of tiny rubies that I lost in my ring.I know I should get the real thing, but I'd like a chance to try it. Thank you teaching .e how to make them. I will have to match in color. Is there a different color when created then from their cured color? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity!💙🩷💚👍🙂

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much, Miss Ruth!! Bless your heart, lady! I am sooooo thrilled this video helped you so much!! I hope you will also enjoy some of my other videos on polymer clay!! And if you are ever interested in what I am up to now, you can find me on Patreon.com. Sending you my biggest of hugs!! :)

[@sueshannon3391]

You've inspired me to try something new, how fun! Thanks Laura!

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you, Miss Susan!! That resin is a blast!! Just make sure you take the necessary precautions by using a mask and rubber gloves when playing with the resin. Sending you my big hugs!! :)

[@sandyjoao4489]

Do all polymer clays need baking? Or can we skip that step?😮

[@feuerleineis3096]

I may just have to get some resin after watching this one!

[@laurajschiller]

Sorry I didn't respond sooner...Still trying to get the feel of this thing with the comments on videos! LOLOL! Anyway, I hope you did try the resin thing with this...and don't be surprised if I do a few more vids with the resin thing. Sending Hugs! :)

[@craftyfox1959]

Came across your video. I subscribed. I love this idea. Is it ok to bake any UV resin, glue, and clay in a small oven?

[@laurajschiller]

Oh, Linda!! Thank you soooooo much!! I am thrilled you enjoyed the video, and I hope you will take in the other videos I do as well...As to your question, I would probably say yes and no. It depends on the element you are dealing with. I know that with UV resin, when it cures...it gets warm. So, to me that says it cures when heat is applied, so it should be okay. With clay, It depends upon what kind of clay you're using. Air dry would not need to be put in an oven. Others are generally bake types. Glue?....hmmmm...Yeah...I would say so. However, that being said, some glues may be affected by the heat when you cure your clay and they may not be as strong once your piece cools down. I am thinking about glues like E-6000. However, that being said, I have used liquid superglue almost exclusively and never had a problem. I do hope this helps...sending you my biggest hugs!! :)

@@laurajschiller Yes thank you I did come across one glue that I have that said keep away from heat. Best to read the fine print on the outside the tube. I subscribed.
