Lets Make Beautiful Brads @LETSRESIN

[@jodoggett7984]

Oh Gi…they are beautiful. My favorites are the little pink roses. 🌹 ❤

[@Julsfr]

Gorgeous ❤ what a brilliant idea. 👌👌👌 Thank you so much for sharing this ❤❤❤

[@lisatadlock5309]

Why have I never thought to make my own 🤔. Genius idea. Thanks for the perfect idea. 😊

[@jenniferr8195]

These are very cute and easy! I don't use brads, but I remember wanting push pins for my bulletin board years ago and this would be perfect for making my own custom push pins! Thanks for sharing this idea!

[@Helen4938]

Gi you always seem to know what we need to see next! I was just giving your lace flowers a go last night and then I couldn't work out what to stitch into the centre [a button?] Of course it needs to be a resin brad, I'm sure Angels attend you as you sleep. Blessings Helen from NZ.👼

[@GiKerr]

Thank you Helen 😘

[@annamarie8461]

I think the possibilities are endless with what you could put ontop of these brads. It would be cute to find bees and butterflies, ladybugs, and hearts ❤️ I think tiny nail stickers would work too. thank you for sharing. I'm definitely putting UV resin and other goodies on my wishlist 🙂

[@ellenhuff6350]

These are so lovely, what a great idea and video. This would be great for ugly buttons as well. I'd love to see you do that for us.

[@kristymh823]

Great idea! What about old keys? And safety pin heads? And…. You just opened the gate in my mind, thanks for leaving this comment.

[@terrythomson4900]

WOW what a wonderful idea! I’ve never worked with resin but this makes me want to try it. Imagine the surprise when someone opens up a card and a tag is attached with one of these beauties. 🤙🤙❤️❤️

[@dianacampanelli3250]

Awesomeness,Gi!🤗💜🌻💕

[@miriamcastro4069]

Thank you for these video love the idea they came out so pretty I will be making some God bless you .

[@jennylawson1980]

So very neat! These brads will be great on so many different things!! ❤❤❤

[@KimberlandCrafts-r2f]

How adorable and so creative and easy to do. I am running to my bead and nail art stash now!

Waouh j'adore l'idée merci pour ce partage bonne soirée ❤❤❤❤

[@DoreenLWyatt]

Once again, lovely idea. 🇨🇦Watching and following you from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

[@colleenbuiles9171]

Oh my gosh Gi this is brilliant! I have always wanted pretty brads and now I can make my own! I have all the supplies too! I use my resin often, but never thought to decorate brads! Thanx so much! So glad you are feeling better too! Hugs❤

[@chrisharrison5974]

Fabulous idea, so many other crafty ideas popping into my head. If you use thin coats of resin and build the layers you can get a higher dome. Tooth picks can scratch your silicone moulds xx

[@josetteforde6817]

Viewing from the caribbean beautiful resin crafting as always GI well done

[@GiKerr]

Thank you so much ❤

[@LaurasDesignStudio]

What a great idea. They are beautiful

[@sharonb529]

This is brilliant! Thank you for the inspiration! I have a bunch of old gel nail polish that I’m going to try using for this.

[@altaburger634]

That is so clever😮

[@ownsacat]

I love these. I will have to make some. Give as gifts to my friends that use brads. I have been doing this to bottle caps making fridge magnets. Its fun because its so quick

[@GiKerr]

Great idea! ❤

[@3rdeyeopen802]

This is a fabulous idea, Gi! TFS 👍❤️

[@wandabaldwin2479]

love your Ideas thank you so much. hope you guys are feeling better.

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Those were so adorable. I liked them all. 🇨🇦❤

[@sheliaporter6795]

I love these, they are beautiful! Yes, they are quite pricey to buy in my area. Thank you so much for sharing this! I will be making some of these tomorrow. ❤😊

[@barbaramcfall642]

Makes me want to get uv resin 😊. Great video ❤

[@MeNotYou72]

Gi, your voice just makes my day lol just so delightful to listen to your narration through the whole thing, brings me joy! Beautiful idea yet again!

[@GiKerr]

Oh thank you! ❤

[@patomahony8244]

Good morning, you amaze me you are so cleaver. The ideas

[@DeniseBeckett-n9y]

Love love love. You knew that some of us still have resin on our shelves. Guilty....Will definitely get it out now. Thankyou for showing how to use ❤

[@LindaMZH65]

Fantastic idea, thanks Gi! I’ve covered small pieces of ephemera with a nail gel and then put those under a UV lamp. It’s something that Tracie Fox showed us a few years ago on her channel. Your idea of making brads is brilliant!

[@RuthieAubs]

These are so adorable and I have SOOO many brads I can use to make some of these!! Thank you for your continued inspiration!!

[@DaLaMc1]

I always cover my brads but never thought of this. These are beautiful.

[@deborahcolvin1274]

Ooooh! Beautiful! 💚

[@giuseppinamainardi8719]

Thank you ❣️❣️ beautiful 🤩

[@judithjones6781]

Thank you for sharing your joy as you were creating. I've not tried any resin work. I've glued beads to brads though. Your brads are quite beautiful. Happy creating.

[@SHYsArt]

Oh these look so fun. I have been wanting to do a resin project. Thank you, hugs

[@GiKerr]

They are so much fun to make. Sending hugs Gi ❤

[@lisalange4922]

Hi Gi.....so glad to be able to see your videos again! My husband and I started our retirement move last year from USA to Europe...and we are finally in our new home. I have set up my studio again and now I have alot to catch up on too. Love this one..what a great idea! And I have to check out your etsy papers and find out what I have missed. I need to re-do my sign ups as well now that we are settled.

[@GiKerr]

Congratulations on your move 😊. How exciting. I hope you have lots of fun crafting in your studio. Hugs Gi x

[@christinasperos160]

Where in Europe did you move?

[@lisalange4922]

@@christinasperos160 Poland ...my husband was born here. As an artist, I love seeing all the awesome Old Town squares and so many castles! And we can travel to other countries as well! I'd love to visit Italy where my great grandparents were born.

[@appleoneill5135]

Gorgeous ❤❤❤x

[@aprilcarter749]

Absolutely Stunning ❤ love all your brads, something dull into beautiful usefulness. Don’t have a resin kit & living in apartment @ the moment and it’s freezing 🥶 in Columbus, Ohio (-10) I’ll just wait for spring/summer to give this a try. Really beautiful brads. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@GiKerr]

Thank you ❤. If you don't have resin you could use strong glue. Something like E6000 or a good superglue. I can't wait for spring either, really don't like cold weather 🥶. Hugs Gi x

[@lizdennison7495]

Thankyou Gi loved this video, what a great idea?

[@ChristalGill]

Love them! ♥

[@debbiesykes5491]

Just beautiful thanks for sharing

[@candicepierce5726]

I don’t have any resin but may rethink that after seeing this!

[@sheilaironside8099]

These are lovely! So many different ones! Love them all! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@coffeepaperJJ]

So pretty! Will be giving these a go. I imagine the flower ones could be made with some E6000 glue (or other super strong glue). Those toadstools... 🥰

[@GiKerr]

Thank you. Yes you can definitely use a strong glue. E6000 is perfect ❤

[@pmaccrafts]

I love this! Thank you Gi. Out comes all my stash and resin.

[@annettehaley3338]

I love these brads! ❤ I will be gathering up the small bits and giving this a try!

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

All hail, the Queen of Resin!! 😂 You have me in awe with all your fabulous resin makes. 🤩 It is a craft and skill of its own. I cannot wait to try this. We all love and need beautiful brads, but it seems very difficult to get exactly what we need. Problem solved! Thank you for more exceptional inspirations! Love and light ❤️🤗

[@GiKerr]

Thank you so much, I had such fun making them, Hugs Gi x

[@mcuttercreations]

Awesome idea I have all kinds of resin and bits to do this project thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

[@tizianaclarino8961]

Favoloso ❤❤❤

[@donnawebber9781]

Beautiful as always

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Wow! Everything came out fabulous, love each one so much. With my asthma and migraines I can’t work with resin due to the fumes even with the windows wide open. I will find another way to make something similar without it. Very inspiring. 💕🌸💕🌸

[@LenoreGuarino]

3 in 1 glue works perfectly and has no odor

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

@ that’s what I use as well.

[@LenoreGuarino]

I apologize 3 in 1 doesn’t work. Try e6000 though

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

@ I used Fabri Fix and it worked.

[@Msicu1221]

Beautiful

[@denisegardner2373]

Hi Gi. Awesome idea. Cute brads are pricey and not as pretty as yours. I am obsessed with resin and have been putting it on everything. I love this idea and will definitely give it a go. TFS and inspiring ❤Nebraska

[@gigidtx]

Abso Fantastic!

[@lorraineanderson5467]

Fun project, Gi! I’m one of those who have my resin supplies still unused. I bought them back when you first started experimenting with them a few years ago. Never got to them. I guess it’s time, right? Thanks for your video! Sounds like that cold has finally decided to leave you alone.

[@GiKerr]

Definitely time to get them out Lorraine 🥰 It is such fun to do, Hugs Gi x

[@lorraineanderson5467]

[@sonagray3176]

Great idea…never worked with resin; however, I may in the future.

[@GiKerr]

You should! Its great fun ❤

[@carolbisson5242]

They are amazing. I wish I could make some but my Parkinson’s won’t allow me to do such dainty work.

[@letiziaantinori6727]

🦋🌹🦋🍀Buon giorno

[@susaneddins4299]

Great tutorial, thank you. QUESTION:Will plain plastic beads work as toppers for the brads and safely go under the resin lamp?

[@GiKerr]

Yes, absolutely 😊

[@susaneddins4299]

@ thank you 😊

[@lorrieroberts2203]

These are awesome. I have trouble getting UV resin to cure under things that aren’t see thru. Is there a trick when applying items like the the pink flower or colored solid dot to allow the resin to get exposed to the UV light?

[@GiKerr]

Thank you, Make sure your UV lamp is strong enough. I use the lamp from Lets resin and it is great, Also don't add the resin to thick, you can add a couple of thin layers. When I have finished making them I put them all under the lamp for 5 mins. Hope that helps, Hugs Gi x

[@swickham5]

❤

[@myriamroelofs2259]

WoW I love them. I used the resin you used in previous videos but for some reason mine stays sticky. Could you perhaps Tell how to handle that problem? Thanks Gi love you ❤❤

[@GiKerr]

Thank you. If you were using UV resin, then you need to put it under the UV lamp for longer. If you were using Epoxy resin, where you mixed 2 parts together. You probably did not mix it properly. Or you need to leave it for longer to harden. Or you did not measure each part correctly. When it is cold it takes longer to harden. Hope that helps, Hugs GI x

[@MichaelsQueen72]

These are fabulous!!! How would you package these for sale?

[@GiKerr]

@@MichaelsQueen72 thanks, you would have to look and see how other brads are packaged. 😊

[@sweetpealee056]

New to resin and this popped up! I'm 70 and haven't seen brads in years and years! Didn't even know ppl still use them! Btw, could someone tell me what they're being used for nowadays? They look so fun to make!

[@GiKerr]

Brad's are used alot as embellishments for junk journals, scrapbooking and lots of papercraft projects ❤

[@maryellenzamulinsky2428]

Will you be selling these beauties in your store? 💕

[@judithpepelnar4429]

Lovely idea! Can't this be done with hot glue? Is there a difference?

[@judithpepelnar4429]

PS: I love your art yet find it somewhat annoying hearing your favorite word "little" so often. Don't want to offend...

[@GiKerr]

Resin sets hard like a plastic, hot glue is glue. You can try

[@thooper61]

​@judithpepelnar4429 why make this negative comment? It is negative and offensive and you knew it. You don't have to watch if you find her annoying. You also don't have to post negative comments. You can choose to mute the video or move on to a different one.

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

I am surprised that the light is able to penetrate through the pieces you have put on top of the brad, I would have thought they would have had to be clear to have the uv cure

[@jackiemarriott2373]

Ive never used resin .. havin to msg me neice to ask her wot a need 🤔
