DIY Epoxy Resin Eyes || ArtDoll Tutorial

[@BlackCat_2]

That is neat and so glad you made this video! I will leave out the white bits when I make my eyes though. The shiny of the resin naturally makes its own highlights based on the light in the room. - Heidi

Omg thx I was always so curious how to make them

[@bubblyleafcreations]

welcome :) Theirs a couple different ways you can make eyes but I thought this would be the most fun and the easiest lol.

[@LyndellHiggins]

Omg can’t believe you did a tutorial when you did it for the first time! Amazing! Loved it!! ❤️❤️

[@Katskrazykritters]

Super cool!

[@celestialcrystalize8871]

Nice! i was thinking the tutorial about the resin eyes you made. I also watch your videos every time you uploaded them. they are always satisfying. Keep it up girl!!! 👍🏼

[@House_of_a_thousand_angels]

Nice video!

[@LucarnAnderson]

They are pretty.

[@bubblyleafcreations]

thank you :)

[@zombbae]

Use a white nail polish paint pen for the details!

[@SparkiMcSparks]

This is great! Thank you!

[@utherpendragon6955]

I want to make eyeballs, not just button eyes. How would you suggest going about this? Also was curious why you didn't do a clear layer first for the cornea?

[@sutela2060]

Thank you so much for your good and helpful video ❤️🙏

[@predaqueen2075]

There beautiful and amazing great job^~^💕

[@cyndiisme4185]

These looks great! I suggest you get some disposable pipettes they are at most craft stores. it would make adding the resin to the mold easier and better control.

[@bubblyleafcreations]

O thank you I'll have to look into that :)

[@lorraineclark4413]

Wonderful tutorial- thanks!

[@serpenking]

Very cool! Have you seen the ways of casting eyes for BJD, where the master piece is a half circle with a small indentation for the iris and pupil?

[@bubblyleafcreations]

No I haven't seen that yet, I'll have to check it out and see if theirs any videos on it. I have used BJD eyes before though, and love using the glass blown ones.

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

Could you add wire loops to the backs to make sew in eyes? I’m working on some projects where I need 5mm eyes, I do buy the little glass loop backed ones but it would be really convenient if I had the option of making them too.

[@bubblyleafcreations]

I'm sure you could, you would probable just want to wait for the resin to get kind of hard but not to hard and then you can push the wire into the back. If you don't let it harden a little it could sink down to the front of the eye.

[@tkgosselin]

How do you add a post screw ti make them sFety eye

[@CockatielPony]

Are the eyes squishy or are they more hard like marbles such as the ones you can get at the story?

[@bubblyleafcreations]

They are hard like a plastic, so a lot like ones you can buy in stores.

[@melodydunwiddie3834]

I tried the link for the mold and it didn't work

[@DarkAshes27]

is this the same way you make safety eyes? does anyone know how you make those with a screw like backing?

[@Sleepysausage]

Trying to find the same info! Love the idea of being able to make my own safety eyes

[@hotmesslps]

this is really cool

[@Bellasoulhomestead]

But how do you add the screw to adhear it to a project ?

[@bubblyleafcreations]

I don't tend to use the screws but I think the best way to add them would be to wait till the resin has almost cured and then stick them onto the back. The resin should be still very sticky but hard enough so the screw doesnt sink into the eye. If you'd rather let them fully cure you could put a dot of extra resin on the back and use that kind of like glue and push the screw into place on the dot of resin.

[@Bellasoulhomestead]

@@bubblyleafcreations thank you

[@voodoocosplay5413]

Actually some induststrial resins cure in 10-20 minutes when mixed

[@bubblyleafcreations]

O cool. I know the brand I work with has a different kind that cures in about that same time but it hardens white. Is it kind of like that?

[@voodoocosplay5413]

BubblyLeaf yes. And sometimes it cures while pouring lol 😂

[@utherpendragon6955]

Those 30 minute epoxies usually turn out wavy.... It's too fast for most uses
