Glitter sinks in resin. To avoid that, let the resin sit and thicken about 30mins before adding the glitter, then you won't have the clear type layer on the back!

That was an excellent first time with epoxy resin, you have learnt a lot from those experiments already 😎 The best couple of tips I can give you following that: Firstly, don't put fresh flowers in resin, as anything containing moisture does not do well in resin. You already know they go yellow pretty quickly, but they will continue to decompose and eventually turn brown. If you want to use flowers, go for dried ones. Secondly, when using those silicone pendant moulds, fill them right to the top and then keep adding resin a drop at a time until you see a slight raised dome. Then as the resin shrinks as it cures, the surface will level off and not leave that concave effect with a sharp raised edge. Looking forward to your next resin adventure already 😊♠

You've done really well. Bit of advice: cover your work surface with a bin liner so you don't get resin on your work surface. I got resin on my desk and it will be there forever now! Also, do try adding all sorts of things to your resin. You can add alcohol inks, crushed chalk - seriously, finely crushed chalk looks amazing in resin. You just stir it in. Also you can colour your resin with acrylic paint, nail polish, spices like paprika and turmeric. And there's a great book which is perfect for beginners called 'Resinate' by Jen Cushman. I've got it and it's brilliant. Good luck, love Amanda

I have been watching resin videos of all kinds for awhile now and am quite intimidated, however, Claire’s Crafty Corner excitement is somewhat contagious. I know that I’m close to making the purchase of the things I need to try this craft. Although I haven’t even tried the craft I would like to suggest that you watch the video by The Frugal Resinesta on jewelry making. She has great ideas and what appears to me to be a wealth of knowledge. The other suggest I have is to try some resin pigments to get some of the colors you’re looking for. Today I saw another artist doing a pour using several pigments, but one of her colors was spray paint. She sprayed the color of paint that she wanted into the cup and then immediately added her resin and mixed the two together and got a beautiful color. Good luck on more successful resin crafts. I’ll be watching for more videos.

I was just going to mention; when I use resin, I wait a minute or two and then gently blow through a straw on each resin filled mold. For me, the bubbles just pop out! I was surprised how well that worked. I repeat that method after a few minutes if I see new bubbles have formed. It was amazing; and so easy, too. No cords to plug in and I don't have to worry about the dryer blowing so hard that the resin overflows the mold. Maybe just try it and see what you think.

@MrOnyxpony4 жыл бұрын
@@ClairesCraftyCorner You're very welcome. Let me add that the bubbles pop because my breath is just warm enough to bring them to the surface. It sometimes happens so quickly they all pop at the same time. Of course, I always check multiple times to see if new bubbles have developed. Once in a great while there will be a stubborn one that refuses to surface. In that case I use a needle to gently pop it. Then I follow up with the straw again because the warmth of my breath will soften the resin just enough to fill in any dimple that's left and level it all out again. Thanks again for your videos and your humble attitude while showing us. Making mistakes is a part of life and we'll all make them.

Someone's probably already said this but if you want layers of different colours the best way is to mix up a smaller batch of resin with the glitter in put it in the mould (which can be at a slight angle, but not so much that the resin overflows) & allow that resin to set to the point where it is very thick and/or tacky then mix a batch of your next colour & add that (you can change the angle it sets at too). This is also the way to add different layers of inclusions including scrabble tiles, etc.. With the leaf or other intricate object that may not let the bubbles out, try "painting" the resin on the item before putting it in the mold. I'm a newbie too but have picked up a few tips along the way & did make some resin items when i was at school.

I use UV resin because I don't have the patience to wait 24 hours lol. Also I like that I can layer it (you can also layer epoxy resin, but have to wait 24 hours between each layer! 😂). I have used stickers in UV resin (not paper stickers though; plastic ones, like the type which are a bit 3D or look like they're slightly raised?), and I've put in tiny polymer clay roses as well. I've seen people use acrylic paint to paint tiny paintings onto a layer of resin and then pour clear resin over it to seal it, but I haven't tried that. As you said, I really love that we can put anything we want into it and the sky's the limit! We can go all out and give our creativity free rein!

I've just bought my first batch of UV resin .. its definitely super fast at drying.. I'm making huge batches though ... so UV resin seems way more expensive KG v's KG .. I think it's easier for me to pour and walk away lol .. UV resin has been a dream for connecting keychain and when I get home I need to attach necklace chains to pendants I've made UV resin is totally going to do that easily xxx

Hi I am new to resin myself and I just found your channel today. Great tutorial by the way. I found that when using stickers or like the scrabble piece it is best to put a layer of clear resin and wait for that to get tacky and then put the scrabble piece or sticker that will help avoid them moving about.

Hi Claire! Great video! I'm a newbie too. One thing though please make sure to wear PPE and I've seen the comment below. DO NOT use a straw to get rid of bubbles. The reason you're meant to be wearing a respirator mask is to not inhale the fumes and by blowing on a straw defeats the purpose of the mask. Resin+hardener=toxic no matter what the box says. By themselves they are fine but it's when they're mixed! Better to use PPE or perhaps a lighter to get rid of bubbles or better yet a toothpick or tap them!

Acrylic gems do melt with the chemical reaction that increases the temperature of the resin when it’s curing. You are so energetic and positive! (I meant to say this first). You can prevent the gems from melting if you do a shallow layer of resin first and let it cure, (the heat is less in smaller quantities of resin) and then add another shallow layer of resin let it cure and so on until you cover all your gems. It is only worth your time if it is a very nice gem. Try glass gems next time. Keep up the good work!
