A children's lamp shade made with gummy bears might be neat

Or maybe a resin and gummy bear lamp base

[@Pinkstinkie]

I clicked on comments to type exactly this.

[@Shadowmech88]

What about instead of a lamp shade, an entire lamp? Buy one of those giant 5-lb gummy bears, make a silicone mold of it, cast it in clear resin filled with these little colored gummy bears, then drill a cavity out of the bottom and insert a bulb. It'd be like one of those rock salt lamps, but made of gummy bears.

[@Ruthavecflute]

I had the same idea!

[@kingofgreed1992]

@Shadowmech88 See, I suggested a lamp shade because I imagine a colorful collection of bears on the wall

[@RandyCivilized]

"If you have any projects you wanna see some resin gummy bears in let me know." As if there's a project that WOULDN'T be improved with resin gummy bears

[@TheSwarm666X]

here is an idea. everytime you do a resin project you put the left over in a cylinder. once the cylinder is high enough you turn it for a project and it will be a rainbow of unique colors. maybe also do one where you put scraps from turning or broken pieces into.

[@hornet65]

Today I learned that the US has one less color of gummy bears than here in germany. We have light and dark red which are strawberry & raspberry while green is apple flavored. It used to be the same here though

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That's super interesting! When my friend Markus was in the shop making the bug-in-resin video, he gave me a mini-history of Haribo since he grew up near Bonn. I don't recall this fact popping up!

I'm glad you poured those extra 75 gummy bears, not because you needed them but because I also thought you would need more. Thank you for being my anxiety buddy Peter.

[@grizzwith10zs78]

I've wanted you to swing that axe for years

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I have too! Didn't even get much of a swing. As soon as I removed the supporting hand it just crumbled. Haha.

[@MGgoose1]

Some colors disappeared due to the extremely similar refractive index of the resin bears to the resin handle. The light moving through the sugary bears moves at a different speed than resin, so they look more defined. If you were to try again, try two very different types of resin, epoxy, etc. for the bears vs the handle.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Very cool! Though, I'm not surprised the white and orange bears went ghostly. As soon as you finished adding the white pigment, my first thought was "that's nowhere near enough", and the orange bears looked a bit too clear when demolded. Maybe you could have added a bit of powder pigment to all the bears? I think that would have helped make them a bit less clear, and would have made a much cooler handle overall.

[@kathleenkillen7820]

OMG, that ending. So adorable.

[@hobbitguy1420]

The Gummi Bear theme song had no place going as hard as it did.

[@vicroc4]

That was true for a lot of cartoon themes of that era. Some of those companies spent more on the music than on the animation, I think. XD

[@mpbx3003]

It's wild to realize how long I've been watching your projects. The original project doesn't seem that long ago, and yet it was almost eight years ago. I'm glad to see it given a new life, and it was really fun to see all of the old molds!

[@yeetmcmeat]

how about some gummy bear stained glass? like a weird pixel art.

[@susanvasquez3625]

An ice cream scoop handle would be cool!! And if you shake some mica powder, iridescent powder, color-shifting powder, eyeshadow, etc.. on the white and orange bears, they should become visible in the resin... and really cool looking too! In fact, making a whole batch of 'clear' bears, then coloring them in different ways with transparent colors, before putting them in resin, should look really cool! Maybe some very pale black bears, with transparent white powder, then immersed in the same shade of very pale black? Ghost bears!

[@andrewdobosz3682]

I think I remember him making an ice cream scoop handle in the past

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

For a project similar to this, I would recommend testing the refractory index of different resins like you test dyes.

[@WiGgYof09]

Considering the ghost gummies, maybe on the next gummy bear project, you could try spraying the gummies with a translucent paint like Tamiya brand model paints. It may help keep bears from disappearing in the resin.

[@akhagee4707]

Swiping them with mica powder is good if they are things you're not going to need to sand afterwards.

[@wtfhaveidone6589]

Cutting that mold off had to be painful. But you did good.

I still haven't thrown it out. My shop would be a bizarre episode of that show, "Hoarders" "Why are you keeping this?" "I found it on the side of the road and thought it was pretty neat-o"

So glad to see the improved new SHINY axe handle. You did as awesome of a job with the first axe handle, and learned from that too. Now, all you need is to make the new axe handle mold, which, you did say you wanted to remake. Don’t be in a hurry to build that. It will be fun to watch, if you chose to rebuild it. I do love Mrs. Brown’s “Ew, NO!” earlier. I agree with her, those gummies have been in that resin a few years.

[@burningSHADOW42]

Most of the resin gummis where a little to light in color, yellow and red where ok. You probably have to make the color in the cup really intense, otherwise they come out too light, since they are so small. The white once culd probably also do with a bit more with pigment and a dash of yellow or orange to be closer to the original and have better contrast to the clear resin.

[@allisonbarry720]

I got a couple ideas for how to use the gummy bears up. • spin topz • bottle stoppers • a faux gingerbread/ doll house with gummy bear cobblestone walkways • gummy bear shirt buttons/ cuff links/ tie clip trifecta combo ( making you a gummy berserker) • key chains, and a light up giant resin gummy bear made with all the extra gummy bears. 😂

Love the axe handle. It's seriously awesome. And the gummy bear song! On another note, I saw in another video by bm sculptures that had him using pieces of his past molds to displace the resin or using it for when he pours silicone.

At 14:35 when you put the resin bears in the cup and clinked, I legitimately did a double take because i had already started seeing them as actual gummies.

[@geuis]

Here's a gummy bear project idea that's also bowl related. Painstakingly connect each gummy into an overall bowl shape with UV resin by hand. Then fill in all the gaps with resin of different colors like the stained glass window you did semi-recently. Hmm maybe more of a lamp shade than a bowl now that I think about it.

[@greyarchamedisblackthorn]

How about a gumball/candy machine made of different candies in resin? I feel that'd be fun. Darker candies near the bottom, lighter ones near the top, a sort of frame made of red or black licorice for the body, the dome/bowl would have to be 100% resin through, unless you made the bowl/dome in layers and did a sort of staircase thing with gummy bears, and as for the top, I feel it being topped off with a jawbreaker could be fun, especially if you were to look at the bottom than see all the colored layers.

[@braefarquhar]
