Astonishing New Resin Technique I Discovered By Accident!

When I discovered this technique using resin and metal foil, I was astonished. It happened by accident and a most pleasant accident it was. It is so easy to do and I am surprised I had not thought about doing it before.

Hi If you cut the leaf into small squares you don't have to waist so much when you cover the dots. Thanks again for your videos

[@Lourin911]

I need this frog in my life.... and my crafting inventory .. sadly i am late to the show, its currently sold out . Ill keep looking.. Great video thanks for the laughter as well! 🐸

[@DaellusKnights]

That is SO cool I said a bad word in appreciation 🙀😹😻 Especially the frog! 😻👍

[@TheBabz]

I finally got the self levelling work top. Each time I’ve gone to order one… it had sold out. It’s not exactly cheap, so I finally treated myself to one yesterday… as a belated Christmas pressie, to myself! Im setting it up tomorrow, so watch this space.

[@Terabethia]

LOVE that froggie!!

[@deblepley7755]

That frog is to die for 😊

[@bagofgrain]

Accidental discoveries ate the best!

[@bellnorton1691]

What a great idea. The frog is fantastic!

[@sallymccornack2800]

Love, love, love the bling 🥰

[@barbseed4434]

Love the mushroom!! Now I'll need to add metal foil to my ever growing wish list !!!

[@theangijt]

I love the frog, and the little pot x

[@Made4YouResin]

That frog came out amazing i love him 🤩

[@ironbomb6753]

That frog looks so good. I like it!

[@angelsandfaes]

This is great. Tip maybe? Cover the mushroom head first then use the tape to clean off the dots? That way you use less leaf.

[@marcialaboo3996]

That is beautiful!!

[@barbarameriton4818]

Holy Moley they are stunning!! I have to do this. AND I get a bonus big laugh with the Nutella on a blanket comment. I’ll be using that one. Thanks for sharing 😂🥰

[@millief08]

WOW I love that frog, they are all beautiful.

[@matsamnicfam]

Beautiful effect.....also, love the way the gold leaf flies around my house and leaves my carpet all sparkly, so fancy! Lol xx

[@thechops2000]

Hahaha…that’s a good way to look at it! I turn my vacuum on and put it right next to my hands while I’m using leaf and it STILL flies all over 😂

[@dollybrown1993]

I too love the frog!! All of them are so shiny and cute. I have a lot of foil but haven't gotten to use it yet.... I'm not sure if what I have will work for this idea because it's just flakes. I'm going to try it anyway. Thank you again for the idea. Have a GREAT weekend. Stay safe, you do you, and stay crafty..👍👍🔔🛎️🦋🦋

[@cheriethompson7725]

Pretty cool. Thank you for sharing.i hope you have a blessed week.

[@the.resintist]

You can a very similar design by using metallic mica on details and removing excess will isopropanol and a cotton wool cue tip . Then adding a different mica . Cheaper easier less messy and just as good results but still their very nice. I'm into free form bowls right now and people love them

[@bubblemum]

Kermit is stunning! The mushrooms are pretty also, thought I am not as big a fan of the crackle effect as you. The little one looks a bit like a Hershey's kiss.

[@paulinejones6341]

Off to do the frog. Had run out of ideas until I watched this.

[@lesliespiers8407]

interesting technique, LOVE the frog.

[@heidih.2465]

That frog! ❤❤❤

[@james-3542]

that's a cool technique. they turned out nice. i really like the frog.

[@VickyShawcooksalot]

Lovely 😍 I really like how the frog turned out.

[@Quill._]

OMG! Thank you for sharing this exciting technique.

[@madambutterfly5343]

Love it!!! That frog is gorgeous. I may try this with my casting resin

[@catherinedavis1690]

WOW! SHINY! WOW!! Another great Steve idea!!! I can see a whole line of shiny products coming out lol

[@julieham2462]

That was brilliant!! Loved how shiney they are, gotta try this!!

[@brendagoen]

Love it, my daughter is into mushrooms she is going to love this idea

[@elenavaccaro339]

They are gorgeous!!!

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Thank you so kindly Steve. Love all of them. Nutella to a blanket....love it! Good thing I'm not on u tube. Lol Daughter of a sailor..I would be banned forever.

[@HippieDezigns]

The mushroom jars have been my best seller! I have a few I’ve done on my page as well. Thanks for the new trick!

[@LisaVornhagen]

The mushrooms are so pretty! I love those colors! I really love the frog. He is beautiful!

[@twinsgran]

So beautiful. I like how you are quite messy. Makes me feel a lot better! lol

[@thecat11112]

Omg I need that mushroom trinket jar !!

[@Luxinda]

Gorgeous!! 🤩

[@susansouthern6704]

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome video Steve McDonald

[@chriswickeham9894]

I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@tinaholroyd4477]

OMG they are gorgeous.

[@Miss_Mellie_Girl]

What a great idea! I especially love the frog! Thank you for sharing!

[@gretchendiegel4926]

OMG!! I LOVE THESE!

[@cymorilgray1891]

So going to try this with my new lizard / gecko mould!😍😍😍

[@TheMrByrom]

Have you tried painting the mold with nail polish before pouring?

[@geraldinedunkley8420]

They are super cute ❤

[@Quill._]

Luck’s a fortune some times. :o) Really beautiful results.

[@margaritagurrola8255]

Just love your videos and you are so funny

[@helenhands7012]

Ive never seen it either! And the Shine! Amazing!

[@wandaburns8075]

The frog is fantastic.

[@juliegayson7947]

I absolutely love these, awesome job. Thank you❤

[@bbasmdc]

Fabulous! Thank you.

[@robinsnestartistry.812]

So cute. I loved them.

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Steve love your makes iv seen Wendy from toonpish crafts do it with the snail mould, great technique, thanks for sharing ❤️ xx

[@annagray6491]

Oops! Glad I’m not the only one who squishes the resin over the mould! They came out lovely!

[@ICrittenz]

I discovered this myself when I started. It does stick rather well to the silicone and the results are stunning.

[@nicolacunnington5593]

Wow these look amazing steve

[@colleenfraserdoggiekisses]

Trying this tomorrow! Thanks for the idea

[@daniellewinslow-ip6ml]

You’re AMAZING

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Wow, Steve those came out so, so nicely. I love the frog, and the mushrooms came out well too. I haven't seen anyone doing that with metal leaf paper anywhere. It's a really unique finish and it makes the items look very expensive, especially the frog! God bless you and yours Steve. Have a great weekend!

[@concettastowell9207]

Amazing as usual! Best accident ever! Some of an artist best work is by accident

[@patricialamson7944]

❤❤❤ Steve that is awesome!! I love happy accidents and I’m so glad you shared it with us. I can’t wait to try it!!

[@a.t.nelson1670]

Love this! That 🐸 is ridiculously awesome! They all are, but that frog is special!

[@purdhupley7864]

Thanks for this. I've had trouble getting the large mushroom cap to fill out to the edges.

[@cassie.m.0723]

Dude your videos are such a delight to watch. I love how happy you get about your projects, and your laugh is infectious ❤ your channel is really helping me get back into a creative mindset 🙏

[@Bl4nk3t]

I love that he's just pleased as punch

[@gothiccharms]

I've done this with my coaster molds but for some reason never thought to apply it to my 3 dimensional molds! lol Quite lovely dear!

[@susanmartin9124]

So glad someone else makes big messes like me.

[@cherylfelton4030]

That frog! Love it so much!!! Nicely done, Sir

[@sandracampbell9822]

Beautiful 😅

[@jaynelerette7743]

The frog is gorgeous, and what a cute spotted mushroom! I made some killer coasters last year with those colored foils. Love how they shine!

[@rachy11051981]

Love the frog

[@mandicoleman7433]

They r quite cute 🥰😍

[@pjshat]

You rock!!

[@cheaquettaj]

Very Cute!❤

[@nancylevinson3353]

I absolutely adore the Frog

[@TarynIona]

Am addicted to glitter, foil and holographic cellophane, almost in that order. Have been looking for more foil to use and I think you have given me the link I have been looking for. Have so much in makeup brushes from various times people have gifted me with makeup sets, and I can't do it as they have castor oil in them and yeah, allergic. Also learning that I can have gold in pieces, just the findings can be the silver. Due to my own allergies to gold unless it's the high grade gold and not plated, I welt and/or what it touches turns bright red. So all my stuff is done in silver, plus, it doesn't take away from the piece itself, at least that's how I see it. Thank you Steve, for another great idea to work on.

[@goddesswitchbella]

Love it! Now I'm gonna have to order more gold leaf😜

[@Denise11Schultz]

💃frog frog frog🕺

[@SashasRevenge]

Bless your heart, that was an awful lot of work that you put into doing those, however they came out beautifully, I loved the frog, it was so cool. BTW, don’t worry about being messy once in a while because I’ve seen much worse believe me. 😊

[@ownsacat]

I love it. I have lots of mushrooms so I put smaller ones inside the bigger ones. Saved on resin. I have some pink leaf if I can just find it. great video.

[@talkmonsta]

The frog is absolutely adorable

[@67sixpack]

I love this!

[@kasie680]

I think this is the best thing you’ve ever made! They are so cool!

[@katonabarger4963]

Love it!

[@lisas.522]

Thank you for showing your squeeze mishap and not editing it out. It helps so much in the learning process of the do's and dont's. Love you your work and style =)

[@daniellewinslow-ip6ml]

I love you!!!!😍

[@sherriejenkins6737]

Love it! ❤️

[@sdhproductions8877]

Would it be possible the next time you do the frog you could give him black eyes? I think that would look nice.

[@janieness5158]

Awesome

[@karenhaywood5736]

Awesome!

[@krystalkeyes4835]

Awsum idea...love love love the frog 😵😍🐸💚

[@Ellzy1]

Fabulous Steve, thanks for sharing. That would be a great technique for hiding bits and pieces of resin that are leftovers as well. Also, love being part of the Facebook group! You are very generous with your time and knowledge there!

[@charlenelesher1198]

Love the shiny effect! I wonder how well they would work in a matte mold? I have some crystal molds that are matte. I wanted shiny. Maybe I could use the foils in it to MAKE it shiny! Thanks again for the cool ideas you give us!!!💙

[@helenhands7012]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts yes please!

[@janalovelysaylor8677]

Great idea! I think I have the same mold..😊

[@misshell6697]

Wow!! This is so cool. I can’t wait to try it. 5:46pm

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

@Charlene Lesher I don't know how foils will stick to matte surfaces, but surely it will? Let us know how it goes? Good luck!

[@Lure-Light]

It will probaly look burnished meatless which whould also be cool

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

I love foiling in resin - it looks so awesome! I have that adorable frog mold and just love it. I really want some mushroom pots, too. Beautiful discovery, Steve! ❤😊👍

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

I am ALWAYS messy - massively so at times. Oy!

[@victoriabutterfly6521]

Did you try dusting the moulds with Chameleon Powder? I love to do that, then use a dark coloured resin to make the colour pop & the result is awesome too ☺️

[@swcrafting]

wow love it! I think the frog is my favorite. Have to say, I love your channel and I am so glad I became a member. Love all the extra support I get on the members FB group.
