Thank you, I've been looking for something to do with my memas flowers from her funeral.

[@kirrajohnston7164]

Exactly why I’m here too!

[@katelynnsanchez7686]

Here for that reason too😔

[@hanschmuth5359]

Katelynn Sanchez such a beautiful idea.. I bet it’ll look awesome!

[@robhood8218]

Same reason I'm here. Do you think I could do this with a whole rose and a ribbon that says Daddy? I don't want to ruin the ribbon if it doesn't work. I was thinking it'd be cool to have it in like a rectangular prism shape.

[@nataliesmith1018]

Rob Hood same reason I’m here

[@JourneyToAHappyLife]

Very beautiful. I just ordered my first molder and the epoxy resin. I’m a beginner. Hope I can do it.

[@sherivegasartist]

Journey To A Happy Life of course you can

[@Kburm3]

Me too!!

[@Bonstergirl1]

im a beginner too and have tried several things..its cool

[@Lexmillerhedrick]

I want to I'm trying to convince my mom to let me get it I'm showing her this video

[@WayIntoAdventures]

This will be my first time too. But I am trying to cast a piece of turf from a famous soccer field in Paris. Scary that I might ruin it.

[@movingwater9111]

Just a warning about the blow torch. We used resin and catalyst (casting fiberglass type resin)and the blowtorch caused this flammable material to catch on fire.

[@mayaelle1298]

Hi Moving Water What should be used instead?

[@movingwater9111]

@@mayaelle1298 hi, I'm not sure, but I started a fire using a flame

[@celestialcrystalize8871]

1:22 Whoa! that smoke scared me and i thought you were burning the mold! 😬 but this is pretty, appreciated your work, good job. i love watching the resin videos 😉

[@sherivegasartist]

Spiritual Texas thank you

[@gabriellawisdom]

This is so satisfying to watch, I love seeing it all come together!

[@sherivegasartist]

Gabriella Wisdom thank you

[@berniegowans8740]

Sheri, please use Nitrile gloves. Resin can go through latex and plastic gloves. Only NITRILE gloves are a barrier to resin.

[@WayIntoAdventures]

Thank you for making this video! Those came out really nice.

Excellent video, this is so helpful!! Thank you so much ❤

[@giamikhaelaerese564]

Hi! Great video! Do you push down the flowers after putting them in the first layer of resin? How can I pop bubbles with the flowers in the first layer? The heat gun won't make the flowers move?

[@TheKateb83]

These are beautiful.

[@creaturedomes9364]

Cool I do insects inside resin I wanna try flowers soon. Cool video👍😁

Paula Wall thank you

[@mistercat6381]

Hello, we have been learning a lot from your videos for our homeschool projects - I was wondering what brand and where do you recommend we get the alcohol solution to wipe our moulds clean before and after use? Thankyou 😊

[@radwaawad9013]

So, one layer then you let it dry then you put the flowers then another layer?

[@richardholborn2557]

Nice work.

What type of resins do you use? And how long do you mix it for?

[@bingbongnoise9967]

Would it still work if I don’t have a blow torch/heat gun? Just ordered my moulds and resin kit, excited to try!

[@fakhrurrazihashim6492]

Hello. I have a few questions: 1. Can we use hairdryer instead of blowtorch/heat gun? 2. Must the flowers be dried, or we can also use fresh ones?

[@Em-vy5te]

dried flowers and no hairdryer! :)

[@EliHomediy]

simply and beautifull!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW that was amazing. gonna have to try this. Are those dried flowers? Beautiful. My volume didn't pick up what you where saying.

[@sherivegasartist]

Rosalie JACQUES yes dried flowers

[@shilpisachdeva]

This came out beautifully...just wanted to confirm..did u wait for 24hrs to put the second layer of resin on flowers or this was done in one go...volume was not clear

[@davidmarsh959]

hi thanks these are beautiful thank you

[@anniesturner]

Can you use a hair dryer for the torch thingies?

[@altheazabala8092]

thank you so much!! i want to try doing this. but i have a question, if the first layer of resin isn't dried is it really safe to put the flowers? wouldn't it sink? tysm

[@alyssaruminski6776]

did you ever find the answer to this? i was wondering as well

[@altheazabala8092]

@@alyssaruminski6776 yes i did! as long you pour it in really slowly or wait for even a lil bit so that the first layer dries a little, it's fine. but again, really slow

[@alyssaruminski6776]

[@artandcraft4887]

[@camf.8320]

I'm looking at videos so that I can start my own little business with resin art, but I'm a beginner. If anyone could help me with telling me which resin is best and where I could find it, it would be great!

[@zoeplummer4627]

Hey! I’m looking to do the same thing. Have you tried it out?

[@vanessas2363]

Beautiful. Thank you

[@mrjackjack5426]

How do you get it to keep from looking separate the résumé use? There is a definite line between the first part and the second what do you find is the best resin to avoid that and I’ve had a lot of problems with some resins.

[@catherineengelbrecht6386]

Hello, Sheri. Thanks for the awesome videos! I’m preserving flowers in their natural 3D form. I notice that when I paint the outside and inside of the petals with resin, the petals often have translucent spots but when I only paint the outside of the petals, the spots don’t pop up. Will the flower preserve well enough by just coating the outside of its petals in the long run or should the entire flower, even the inside, be coated with resin?

[@megb9470]

Love this tutorial thank you for putting it together! What did you do with them once they were finished? Can they be put up on a wall? Are they for display only? I was to add this to a living space in my house but not sure how it’s supposed to go!

[@coraclemente5938]

Designergeena

[@LittleBlackStarify]

I use them as drink coasters, when it's dried it's just hard plastic so you can do what you want with it

[@usherl250]

So pretty Sherri

[@DCogsdil]

Has anyone used them for drinks? Does the condensation from the drinks hurt the coasters? Pretty pretty. debs from Texas

[@sherivegasartist]

D C you can do this

[@NirmaniWalpola]

Hi! Those are just adorable! 🌸 Thank you so much for sharing 💛Just wondering, how can they be used ? As ornaments, jewel or may be coasters?

[@sherivegasartist]

Nirmani Walpola any of that sometimes I hang them with a fitting on the back or a coaster etc

Thank you for this lovely tutorial. Can pressed flowers be resined on ceramic tiles?

[@cocoaocean]

Good question. It sounds pretty. 🤔💐

[@foreverone546]

beautiful.thank you.

[@Rachelmcg1989]

Hi! Will the resin stay clear, or does it brown/color over time?

[@sherivegasartist]

RachelM as long as you use a resin that is UV safe it will be fine.

[@anasanchez8220]

sheri vegas sorry this is very late but I just say your video. Would the Puduo epoxy resin be UV save ?

[@plantita7860]

Would you be able to brush on resin to your desired object? As in using a paint brush. Or would another method work better. Thanks

[@sherivegasartist]

st-ugh i haven’t done this

[@robbainbridge1297]

Luv ur work Sheri

[@sherivegasartist]

Rob Bainbridge aww thanks

[@marafuser1883]

Thankyou for sharing

[@keeksa6833]

Can I use them as coasters? Or is it not heat resistant? :)

[@ramyasinghbhadoriya7683]

So, we have to por first layer then let it dry and add flowers and again let it dry and pour second layer of resin, right ???? What if I pour first layer and let it dry for 2-3 hrs and add flowers and resin ??

[@CharleneShondaReddix]

Thank you

[@aizawajid4854]

Plz guide, first layer can be colured or not?

[@JM-oi3by]

Can you use anything besides for a blow torch to get the bubbles out?

[@SundasM]

Where can I get the resin liquid from? Also are these molds separate then the silicon cupcake molds or can we use the same ones? Can this be used as coasters for hot cups and pots?

[@StacyForest738]

I wouldn't recommend using it for anything hot or it can reactivate the resin making it turn back to goo or liquid.

[@ellasharp8543]

Love your videos! Where do you get your silicone moulds from?

[@sherivegasartist]

Ella Sharp amazon, eBay and Barnes

[@shedrickDuval904]

So what brand or type of torch did you use?

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Beautiful thx

[@tinafaye7841]

This was so helpful thank you! And can you use a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun?

[@sherivegasartist]

not going to be hot enough to pop the bubbles well

[@bearbear8646]

I use a silicone mold too but the back kf mine keep turning out foggy and i don't know why 😔 EDIT: GUYS I FOUND A SOLUTION You just have to make another batch of resin and coat it and it makes the fog from the silicone go away

[@kaitlinhoward5213]

Bear Bear stir longer with a spoon, mine were cloudy when I didn’t mix enough

[@ihegge]

Is your mold matte or glossy?

[@cathyhernandez2128]

So just add a thing later to the already completed resin?

[@MJ-xj5vf]

Hi! I don't have a blow torch or heat gun, is there anything else I can use to substitute?? Thank you!

[@deyawillo7864]

Can you just gently push the items into the resin with a wooden stick/toothpick instead of another layer?

[@marrymesoojin4956]

The flowers would rise if added to one layer only, so by doing another layer, it ensures that the flowers stay in the centre and don’t move.

[@debi5015dw]

How do you add flowers in a photo frame. I want to add flowers from my mom and also add a photo of my mom

[@nakaize]

Beautiful flower coasters! how do yo clean your silicone mold? i have a mold just like that, but when i used it a couple of times the silicone rubber got stuck in the sides of the coasters and it was hard to take out of the mold. what do you think was the problem? did you also experience the same issue ?

[@sherivegasartist]

tinyogi just with 99% alcohol

[@lidianova5810]

Sheri, tinyoger is a thinner? Does the thinner damage the silicone mold???? Thanyou very much!!!! I LOVE your world!!!

[@renewalof48]

Very nice.

My dried white flowers still change colour. Please help

What type and brand of Resin are you using? Any tips for first timers?

[@lop-qy3oc]

I have a dead rose I was looking to put in resin, I don’t think I would be able to flatten in due to it being dead and it would just crumple. Would keeping it in full rose shape work?

[@-afaninmaha]

😍😍😍😍

[@calmmoment3668]

Can i ask? What is the ingredient of the mixing of the resin?

[@kellynguyen1709]

What’s type of resin do you use

[@cisimolmol5589]

Which flower is white flower?

[@payalchatterjee9368]

my flowers tend to stick out from resin. after drying up the trays look uneven because of the flowers. can you help me please?

[@skylar6080]

Do you have to wait 24hr to add another layer or could you pour once you’ve placed your flowers?

[@emilysepeta5277]

I’m so curious about this. It is very humid where I live so if I leave the flowers partially exposed for 24 hours I’m worried they will get damp and be ruined !

[@pdk9746]

Hiya, where did you our hase your resin from?

[@xanderdurrant9258]

Hey! They look amazing! I would like to make one myself, would EPOXY Art Grade Resin - Optically Clear - UV Stable - Non Toxic be okay to use

[@hannahmay1828]

yes

[@glynesmewton7033]

Are the coaster size not too big or is that a uniform size?

[@janedarling6100]

Hi Sheri thanks for the great vid! Where abouts do you get the torches from? Do you need just the one to eliminate the bubbles?

[@davidd4677]

Those push button style torches are available from Lowe's or Home Depot. You can find a good variety of sizes available in the plumbing section since plumbers use them to heat flux and solder while sealing copper pipe threads.

[@movingwater9111]

Talking with a friend that is a surfboard maker, after we had our little fire. He recommends not using a flame. He uses a hair dryer

[@arifaziz3943]

I have tried this but the resin ate the flowers. Please help me.

[@ekklesiasheny7738]

You have to make sure the flowers dried 100%, microwave also helps.

[@sherivegasartist]

Arif Aziz maybe they weren’t properly dried

[@bohunkpunk1909]

Spraying with acrylic over flowers completely dry will also help prevent bubbles

[@ms.cupcake8199]

Would using a hair dryer help to dry them?

[@sherivegasartist]

Ms.Cupcake I haven’t tried that but flowers are quite delicate

[@artby_binte_azhar]

I am confused, please clear me out. What is epoxy resin, mas tabletop epoxy, and resin. They all are different.

[@tiffanystoppelmoor8226]

If you are making layers, does the first layer need to fully cure before adding the next? On my first layer I want to put dried flowers down, then add glitter to the resin for a second layer

[@sherivegasartist]

Tiffany Stoppelmoor yes it needs to cure

[@estherbroughton8195]

Do you cover them when your waiting for them to dry between layers?

[@leilanim7338]

You can cover to protect from dust but you don’t have too

[@sherivegasartist]

Yes I do but you do t have too

[@lianjoyperez266]

What if I don’t have blowtorch? What can be my alternative?

[@sherivegasartist]

A heat gun works

[@neenufanan5818]

Can you share the link to buy this mold?

[@PatienceWearingThinX]

If you don’t have a blow torch, would it dry by itself if you left it overnight or something?

[@sherivegasartist]

PatienceWearingThinX the torch is to pop air bubbles not to dry the resin. The resin drys by it’s self

[@helderxmx]

what about if you dont have a blowtorch?

[@sherivegasartist]

heat gun works

[@shirley6996]

Can anyone tell me why my dried flowers turn dark when I put them in my resin?

[@DanzelZakk]

Which resin do you use?

[@wendygliddon3350]

Would resin castings be ok to hang outside or would they yellow and crack from the elements?

[@sherivegasartist]

Wendy Gliddon it would depend on the type of resin that you used

[@wendygliddon3350]

sheri vegas thank you

[@mkic3583]

Whats the first thing you sprayed on the mould?

[@amberlynn1619]

Just Alcohol to clean the dust etc off her mold

[@ksk8690]

I has 4 blue LARKSPUR flowers. Out of them 3 flowers turned yellowish when I embedded them in resin. I used a hairspray to seal the flowers. Is there any way to stop this from happening. We are making huge losses please help us.

[@sherivegasartist]

could be the brand of resin you are using that caused that
