There's something rather satisfying about that beautiful resin egg popping out of the mold!!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

I cannot believe you got that egg out of that mold without breaking it… that was an accomplishment in and of itself!!!! The eggs are awesome!

[@LorE_aka-midwestmemaw8555]

🫶🏼. They look awesome!! I love the one with the pinecone inside!!

[@lisaroberts23]

I think this is one of my favourite videos. Learn lots and still makes me laugh. Hehe

Very cool. When the egg flew out I had a bit of a giggle 🤭 the golden leaf egg is awesome. 🥰🇦🇺

😄 🤣 😂 I was so sure that egg was going to explode.. Great video x

[@raeronda30]

I can’t help but to laugh when you pop the egg out. It’s so funny and cute haha. I can’t wait to try this myself!!

[@PTVforever3221]

Steve you are such a fabulous person, I have FINALLY caught up with all your videos, and I have to say I’m really surprise you don’t have more subscribers. I watch a lot of resin videos along with my husband, and we both agree we have learned more from you then any other! The way you explain things really help, you don’t leave anything out, my husband and I really enjoy your personality and how you don’t fake things. If you make a mistake you let us see it so we won’t make the same mistakes. I will make sure I share your videos as much as I can. 😘

I bet the chicken was as happy as you and all of us were ,the way the egg come out. Once again well done. Hugs x Ann x

[@victoriaeads6126]

Heh! I just tried something a bit like this... Sort of! I drilled and emptied a chicken egg, washed and dried it, used hot glue like webbing on the outside to support the shell, and filled it with resin. Once it cured I peeled it a bit like a hard boiled egg 😂 It wasn't glossy, and my mica dust settled more, bit it's literally my first resin project and it turned out pretty well!

[@florsanchez-ortega9201]

Lovely wow😮😮😍

This was a great video!

[@galady8632]

Although I like all 4 eggs i am particularly intrigued by the pinecone. Just the thought of placing the pine one inside the mold seems daunting. Great video, as always

They're all beautiful the blueish silver egg is my favorite.

[@carolthorburn2979]

Steve you ate brilliant!!! I found this video just in time because I just bought at the dollar store a pack of 4 eggs made of a sturdy material ( Easter decorations are already available and it's only January?!?!). I am going to make my own mold so I can make beautiful eggs to place on a round wooden lamp platforms. I would not have thought to spray the egg with glossy sealant ahead of time. Thank you so much I won't waste time or money, no spoiled products! Many many thanks 😊 🙏 for yet again a great video and your tips are a necessity I'm so happy I found your site hugs from Quebec Canada 💜 🇨🇦

[@ladyhill9744]

Hard boil the egg...and I'd use a pringles can with maybe some mold release...its beautiful!! And imma try this soon.

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts You mustn't take them personally Steve, I heard from a techie that they're automatic "bots" sent around as many random sites as possible by idiot teenagers just because they can ... they hit most of the polymer clay sites too, so probably no site, however good and wholesome like yours, is safe from them.

[@Ldybugsrus-Nadine]

when you were trying to push out the real egg I was thinking maybe if it had been hard boiled first... then you wouldn't have had to worry about a mess. that is so amazing though!! was it difficult pushing in the pine cone?

[@allisonkeevers1969]

Beautiful. I wonder what my chooks would think if I swapped their white fake eggs for a few of these.

[@susanhamilton3212]

Absolute TRIUMPH!!!!! From one of your resin eggs you could make loads more moulds too if you wanted to make several with one pour to get colours matched up. The eggs are really beautiful, well done! How you got the fircone in there is a mystery but what a fab idea, it looks like a ship in a bottle type thing. The most brilliant thing about this is having no seam. A huge thank you for this, will definitely give it a whirl :)

[@leviniahill454]

Hi Steve. Would it be worth putting a layer of resin over the egg before making the mould as it would then be super smooth? Thanks for the tutorial :-)

[@thelazychefuk4410]

Great video, thank you Steve, I really want to make these! :) By the way, don't keep your eggs in the fridge. In the UK we don't need to because the coating of the egg is not washed off like in the US :)

[@dulceteixeira9097]

Wow that is absolutely awesome! And I was cringing while you were taking out the real egg was expecting it to crack but you did such a good job! You should considering selling moulds 😘

This video has been immensely helpful. I'm a soap maker in need of a very specific sized egg mold for a custom order. The customer wants the egg on its side but I can't find a goose egg mold like that. Anyway, thank you for posting your video. What if I wanted to mold the egg on its side? Would the silicone get all the way underneath it? Also can I use a wooden egg if I seal it?

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

That's brilliant. How did you get the effect in the first one? Just squeezing the pipettes into clear?
