How to: Dome resin charms | 2 ways | Watch me resin | Sweet Art Crafts

[@mandasbrighteyes]

Soak those brushes in alcohol and you can reuse them for doming. That's what I do ☺️☺️

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Omg really??!! I have never heard of that, I will def try it out. Thank you so much for the tip!!💕

[@mandasbrighteyes]

Sweet Art Crafts you're welcome love! 🥰

[@crudivor]

Lil tip, Dont throw away the brushes, just leave them for 30 min or more if hardened in acetone and it comes out fresh, as new.

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Thank you!! 💖

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay on me uploading my doming video, it took me forever to film and edit this video. Doming takes a while and patience and is probably the part about resin that I am not really fond of. Also sorry for the weird audio, I am still trying to get the hang of things, hopefully it will be better in my next video. This is a long video so I will leave time stamps for the methods that were used if you do not feel like watching the whole thing. 💕 *Please note when selling charms using the liquid latex method, to let customers know that it was used** Liquid Latex Method: 0:23 No Liquid Latex Method: 6:01 Doming the backs: 11:22

[@AyeshaShaSha]

Darling please don't apologise..doming (with 2 part resin) takes AGES. We can wait!!!! I would love to see a tutorial on doming with UV resin , just because I find it so tricky to get a nice, FLUSH finish... I often get spaces in mine and have to redome them. Thank you!

[@SweetArtCrafts]

@@AyeshaShaSha Yes the spacing can be so annoying. I've had 1 piece that I redomed 3 times and it still has the spacing :(

[@AyeshaShaSha]

@@SweetArtCrafts it's not just me then!! It can be soooooo frustrating!

[@SweetArtCrafts]

@@AyeshaShaSha Honestly for the longest I thought it was just me doing something wrong and everyone else on IG just had the perfect technique until some people showed their mess up pieces and I was like oh okay so it's no just me then lol

[@AyeshaShaSha]

@@SweetArtCrafts that's the thing we never see everyone's mess ups lol! I actually just made a pair of shoes with resin pieces, one of which I had to make 8 times!! But it was worth it!!! I'd love to show you, would you like to see?

[@nen-yah-sharala5617]

I love your kawaii trap intro! 🔮 it’s magical.

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Awww thank you!!!

[@DaisyDojo]

I have some helpful information on the backs! If you're allergic to latex or simply don't want to work with it, you can use packing tape if you smooth it out completely and leave a tab to pull off!

[@LunaFairs]

Now if only I had a fix for an uneven table on an uneven floor lol My worst enemy!! Great video!

[@SweetArtCrafts]

I feel you on that, that's why I mostly have switched to doming upstairs now because its more even. And thank you! 💕

[@fnjosk]

Put a bubble level on top of the table and then strategically prop up the legs of the table with pieces of newspaper until it's level enough :D That's worked for me in the past!

[@SweetArtCrafts]

@@fnjosk Great idea!! I always forget that iPhone's also have a level app.

[@anthonygonzales843]

[@kaomoon_]

Here to say, I love the phrase you put on the crystall ball 😂

[@siniestra9324]

sorry for my english. Use Mod podge in the back, apply two layers, so you can avoid that job of doming twice. when the resin is cured you just remove the layer of mod podge

[@suegore5929]

Do you use water to remove the Mod Podge?

[@siniestra9324]

@@suegore5929 no, just remove with you nails like a sticker

[@naptimecreations]

So awesome, sanding is seriously my least favorite part of resin too. I try my hardest to avoid it. It's so cool when you made this video you said I was so shocked I got up to 1k subscribers now you are on your way to 7k. How awesome, I love your videos you explain everything so well. Thank you 💖

So nice and pretty cool 😎 I'm now a fan of your beautiful work. I fell I am learning alot.. thank you for your videos. Lisa

[@BoojiePanda]

I was watching another resin crafter here on KZbin, I forget her name, she uses CitriStrip (Home Depot or Lowe's, and it's safe to use indoors) to clean the epoxy from her brushes. I bought some just to check it out and it does work! I don't use expensive brushes, but this stuff cleaned the epoxy out of one of my smaller Martha Stewart brushes. A little time consuming but better than tossing brushes!

[@sk_iiesroblox5408]

SO PRETTY

[@Eddie_the_Husky]

Wow! You are so incredibly talented!! I don’t even resin but was suggested your video from a watercolor tutorial - you make me want to try it! Subscribed!

[@Fruityfruitcat]

So interesting! I’ll def try this out :D btw I’m not sure if you used them before, but there’s silicone paintbrushes that would probably last you more long term than plastic brushes! All you need to do is wait for the latex to dry so you can peel it off!

[@lauraw9117]

This video was so informative and helpful! Thank you for making it!

[@sadjuju]

I am so thankful you started doing videos! They are so helpful and its appreciated. Loving all the cute new molds by the way. Need to get my hands on those BTS and BT21 lovelies

[@Sakura-mu8ow]

When doing the latex method would you have to mention latex as an allergen? Are the latex particles not gonna linger in the finished products? I'm a new subscriber. I love watching your videos. In this video love seeing the transformation of the pieces from mat to shiny 😍😍😍😍so satisfying

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Sakura Yes I forgot to mention that. Most people I have seen that use this method disclose that they used liquid latex on their pieces. Thank you for reminding me, I’ll add that to my pinned comment. 😊

[@rubydragonjd1]

Totally agree, sanding drives me bananas!! Have you tried the latex-backing part using regular ol' packing tape?? The liquid latex method looks like it works 110%, that's exactly what we want it to do but having to buy it, and like you mentioned, latex allergies are a thing, I'm going to try the packing tape method today, see if it works! *Going to find and follow you on Insta too, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@rodricksgf307]

Hi there! Beginner cafter here, I have a question about doming. :) Do you HAVE to dome? Like, is it just to make the peices shinier, or is it necessary in the process? Thanks so much, love your channel 💖

[@thehunnibug5532]

I am new and wondering this as well. Hopefully we can get an answer

[@-sewer-rat]

Doming shakers helps seal the plastic and keep the liquid from leaking. Or help seal in bails on the back. Or you just use it to make it shiny on the front, but not necessary

[@pamcarr4003]

Great video, thank you so much! I like the latex idea too. I would love to see you do a video on coming with UV Resin. Whenever I done with it it continues to pull away. I've ruined a lot of pieces. Wow, I just noticed the date of this vid...maybe you did a UV dome how to? Lol, I'll check. Thanks again, Pam 😊

[@robloxginger5285]

Your background is supper cute

[@margaretperry2015]

So, it looks to me like I could use the liquid latex instead of taping the backs of my coasters. Would it work?

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Margaret Perry Yes! I’ve seen people use tape, though I haven’t tried it myself, liquid latex works really good and since it’s Halloween time, I got a big bottle from Walmart for only $10. I need to stock up. 😂

[@itzelpadron8659]

I wanted to ask how you put the keychains to your resin pieces on because i have some keychains to add and idk how

[@KonekoTyrant]

I cant believe im just finding this channel! do you have a reccomendation for a liquid latex brand?

[@nikkideacon2838]

Hi there different liquid latex do i get clear or skin colour ? Love your work many thanks x

[@melissaatkin889]

I've learned so much from you! I have been doming the sides of my shaker charms but I have found that it does droop and get thicker at the back. Do you not typically dome your sides?

[@victoria.andrzejewski]

hi! lovely tutorials, thank you so much c: could watercolor masking liquid work like liquid latex? i mean, it's basically just latex anyway

[@marzaally]

I wonder if using gelatin would work for people allergic to latex? You can get a big box of the satchels at a grocery store. It has similar properties, but I've never used it that way before.

[@moomoo1006]

I'm having issues with the resin receding from the edges of the shaker and I'm not sure how to fix this :( I end up sometimes having to dome twice , any tips?

You can clean your resin brush with nail polish remover while it is still wet if you want to keep using the same brush.

Hello thanks for the video. I have made 2 shaker charms without success. You guys make it look so easy. Help! My pieces leaks. I havent master that. Also coming is difficult because the resin get stuck on the back. It just get messy. I hate to waste resin. Yes sanding is the wrist. Lol. Any suggestion will be great. I don't like my shaker leaking.

[@SweetArtCrafts]

Watch my shaker charm tutorial, I have a trick for helping with the leaking. Also using Liquid latex helps with the resin not getting stuck on the back, which was shown at the beginning of this tutorial. Hope that helps!

Did u use glitter letters to make the words on the charms?

Would the latex nail tape work? the stuff that comes in a nail polish bottle.
