Epoxy Resin Tray using the Cling Film Technique *WOW*

Hey my lovelies, In this video I am showing you how I used the Cling Film Technique in Epoxy Resin, to create the most amazing luxurious fabric effect within the resin. As I say in the video, this is my first attempt and whilst it did not turn out how I expected, my second attempt truly is not to be missed. My second attempt will be out Saturday.

I actually really like how this turned out, I think it looks very natural as fabric would look. The colours are stunning.

Thank you so much Nicki xxx

@ClairesCraftyCorner I used your video as my guide to make a steering wheel tray for my future SIL! Thank you! It was my first attempt too, waiting on 2nd layer to dry, then a 3rd...lots of resin😪. But thank you! I'm hoping my first attempt turns out as awesome as yours did!❤️❤️

[@sunitasuri7711]

For the first attempt this looks great. You did well and we all learnt from your tips on how to avoid some of the problems you had.On the whole this was a good outcome. I am sure the next attempt will be 100% perfect. ❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸👏🏼👏🏼

[@laineykearns4506]

Love this. I made coasters a few months ago using this technique but left my resin about an hour to hour and half before putting the cling film on. Gives such a beautiful crushed velvet look. I think I may have been the one saying go go go to get the pens on amazon 😂

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Lainey ... ohhh it was you ! haaaaa thank you so much xx still cannot find the Silver one ... its here somewhere lol I think I will try to leave it next time I try it for sure xx

You are very hard on yourself Claire. I think the tray is gorgeous! I love the effects you received. I agree Wanda is a sweetie and she is tickled you gave her a shout out💙💜💗

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ahhhh Johnnie, I can be hard on myself I know .. I really am happy with my first attempt it is all learning I guess ... she really is the sweetest soul ! never met anyone like her x

That is a really cool effect Claire, love the shading effect created with the colouring.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks so much Jiggsy 😊

[@amethyst1826]

It's pretty, Claire. I think Julie used a thicker film, if it's the video I'm thinking of! xx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy lovelyy ... Oh that was mentioned above ... I haven't seen Julies ... I watched Wanda's Blessed Creations ... but I definitely know I need to do a deeper pour 😍😍😍

[@calissaobviouslycannotdeci7419]

Great job for your first time. I have been trying to achieve it and still no luck! Love the colors. Thanks for sharing! XOXO

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Calissa, thank you so much xxx My second attempt is way nicer but I learned from this first attempt

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

I have tried this and tossed the project and video like 3 times now! I didn't realize how stuck the plastic wrap could get... but after watching yours and others I see that's normal lol going to have to take another run at it....

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ohhhhhh yes I think it is normal for sure ... but I would also leave it over 24 hours ... I tried after 24 hours and it was super stuck still ... I really should have mentioned this ... also pour deeper than I did x

[@Oonagh72]

I absolutely love what you made. It looks like fabric. Practice with different kinds of plastic. Like plastic bags, or parchment paper,etc. Also crumple the film first. Finally push, don’t pinch. You might even wait until it has set up a bit so those deep drapes will hold.

[@LiveSleepResin]

Great tips thanks.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

That is so helpful thank you ! I ade some more after this and I did exactly that .. I poked and pushed instead of pinched and WOW what a difference ! i made hearts and the video is out Saturday x

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Cool, I tried this and ended up with a total mess of cling film stuck in the wrinkles, so can't wait to see your next video Claire.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyy lovely, thanks so much ... yeh I had a few pieces stuck for sure ! I am going to try better cling film too xx

[@Sweetencourager21]

Great job Claire, we have trouble getting those pens in Canada too☹️. I just got a silver one in the mail. You are being very adventurous and I’m loving your videos. Keep them coming.

[@amethyst1826]

Try Google for stockists, if you haven't already. Maybe we should all start emailing the company from our different areas, complaining that we want their pens but can't get hold of them! 😃

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much Katherine xxx I am so glad you like it ... How frustrating .. I figured they would be easy to get over there .. I always feel like the UK has the worst access to craft supplies x

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Haaaa such a great idea ! we should start a petition haaaaa

[@mariarisebury2547]

Claire I loved your tray 10 out of 10 for your first time, I love the colour , looking forward to your next attempt. Maria xx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank you so much lovely xxx really glad you liked it :)

[@amethyst1826]

Pallet shrink wrap might have been better, Claire. It's stronger - very handy when you move and you have probably seen tourists wrap it around suitcases to keep them extra safe! Cheap, too, and you get loads on a roll!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy lovely, that is such a great tip thank you ! I will have to look in to that if i do it again x

I watched Julie Cutts from pouring your heart out do this technique and hers where fabulous so me being me mine looked has good Julie's until I tried to remove the cling film I left loads in there that would not come out like you I brushed them with chameleon pigments and they looked stunning until I moved them in the light because I couldn't remove all of the cling film the chameleon pigments didn't changed colour so I am stuck with two coasters that look fantastic but don't change colour and I haven't tried the technique since lol at least you where able to remove all your cling film great job at least your almost there enjoyed watching but I felt your pain lol can't wait for the next video well done Clair at least you have shown us thank you so much for sharing you've done a great job Clair ❤

I always wait for the resin to get to the gel state before pinching it. That way it stays the way I want it.

Using an hairdryer gets rid of all wrinkles in clingwrap

[@RebelBart67]

Looks good. Just need to scrunch the plastic a bit more.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much xxx Yes I needed deeper resin for that i think .. it really was too shallow

[@rosemariediamond7855]

This is so pretty. I don’t think it would look good if it was all uniform. It has character. You could have used a textured mold if you wanted uniformity.
