I feel like I found my guru so glad I found your channel

[@magbanach]

That is simply genius, and on bonus if its bit sea through you can later add led lights if you wish to turn it into lamp 😎👌

[@Chrissy582]

Love it!

[@nicolemcmillan5095]

I love the box you keep your jewelry pliers in.

[@jamieadams9682]

Maybe you could use some silicone and mold that plastic piece, then you won't even have to throw it away. Just thinking. It's an amazing idea, ty for the share

[@annelisecochran9291]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I was also watching the whole thinking you should do a resin pour one time to seal the sand in there so you never even have to dump....maybe do both of these ideas together! cast a silicone piece and then fill it with a resin sealed sand block for weight!

[@emeryn1736]

@@annelisecochran9291 But that kinda just defeats the purpose of the vid “saving resin” ~Have you ever tried pouring resin into sand? It kind of absorbs/wicks the moisture💦 in like a sponge🧽 + it doesn’t allow for that little Harry Potter “hidey-hole” to stash dr💊gs(🤫⬅️😂I’m totes joking....but like: a 🔑/🔐/battery-operated tea light candle🕯/love letter📄...ok maybe that’s a bit cheesy) but maybe if you were to utilize the same grade of “hard”plastic cut to fit inside/over the sand and then seal with UV resin/or some other sealant{Zero clue if that’s a word/or if that’s how you spell it🤷🏻‍♀️} hot glue gun?silicone??...idk...seems like it’d be more trouble than what it’s worth; and simply to what? Make it heavier/have more weight...you know?? Anyway, geez...I digress....sorry for rambling on & on!

[@DarkAlkaiser]

I was thinking the same thing. Some silicone putty would work great for making that

[@margaretcunningham7146]

Ooh! Think how many island pendants(getting mold next week!) I could make with that amount of resin!! Those little machine coffee pods would work too!

[@MandyZinger-cl9jp]

These would be great for a fairy garden or fairy house for a plant! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeanwilcox3464]

Your houses could be a little village under a Christmas tree💖. Thnx so much for this awesome idea

[@TheRockinDonkey]

Very good idea. I think I'd opt for stones instead of sand to avoid getting sand in the resin, but I'm clumsy.

[@galady8632]

Fun idea! Saving resin is always a good thing. Battery operated tealights might also be an option to safely illuminate the house molds.

[@buzzbuzz7365]

Love the little box you keep your pliers etc in❤️and patiently waiting to see you doing this method with a pyramid

[@donnar9864]

Yes yes yes...I did a pyramid and put a clear party cup in the center and it did save a ton of resin...then I was able to put fairy lights inside the party cups, which you can't tell there's a cup in it, and then the lights are gorgeous...but I'm very new at this so I still need alot of help...these are GORGEOUS!!!

[@mandirvana]

Philadelphia's sales will be going through the roof :D

[@mandyhall1674]

I just bought a square silicone mould to put inside my pyramid but haven't tried it yet. Those little pots are a great idea for smaller things and didn't know vaseline would work - thanks :)

[@ADORNEDBYCHERICE]

this is so cool omg, I like the light-up house lol

[@maryc7472]

GENIUS! Thank you for all your videos. Not only are you informative but you are quite entertaining. Love love love binge watching your videos. Keep it up and keep me laughing. 😘

[@diedredunham7383]

Cue little houses!! Great idea too.

[@oliviarinaldi5963]

I'm a fairly new sub. The more I watch you honey, the better I like you. Your quirky personality is rather like my own. Maybe you better hope you're not as crazy as me lol. (in a really fun way of course) I love the way you've come up with these money saving tips. Brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work you do putting into these videos and ideas for us. Happy New Year.

[@debbiehelms6803]

Your videos give so much pleasure to me. You are very talented.

[@stephaniedizon7620]

Nice to know how to save more! Thanks so much

[@GrandmaMSanger]

I just happened on this video and became a subscriber. I use water bottles for the pyramids and that saves lots. Thought you were very clever with your little pots. Most of my work is clear with flowers but I can save big on the pyramids. Good day from the USA!

[@kennethearlwigglesworth6034]

In a previous video you said that alcohol ink fades with resin. Well , I make tumblers with inks in resin to make for some very long lasting colors , and pigments as well...

[@lnc-to4ku]

Omg, you give the best advice, and demonstrations!! I'm SO grateful that I found you!! 💗

[@brandiekee5249]

Absolutely love this idea! Can't wait to try it!

Great idea Steve, thanks.

[@sherib5752]

Super-smart tip! Thanks for sharing it. 😊

[@catherinedavis1690]

The 3 houses on a base with lights and some of your tiny fence pieces etc would make a fantastic night light, or each one by itself for a small light. Brilliant idea!

[@MSimmons784]

Thank you for this, Steve!

[@juliegayson7947]

Thank you so much. I have the same mold and only done once as it was a lot of resin and very heavy. Now I can. Thank you! X

[@DarkAlkaiser]

If it's something where weight is a concern, filler material, like foil or clay works as well. Makes it more stable than empty space too
