When he giggles it makes me love the videos so much more. I love that he is as clumsy as me and still makes beautiful things.

[@DGinn-ls3nw]

You are such a joy to watch; not afraid to giggle at your mistakes..love it. Since I love carousels my first thought was to light it up from the bottom. Job well done.

[@offairhead]

Over 7 years of resin work and I’ve never seen that mold either, that was pretty cool!! You did a great job!!

[@kimjefferson3425]

I recently bought this mold and when I saw all the pieces I just threw it in a tub. 😢😂 So I'm very grateful for this video!

[@Shakycrafter8406]

I love it when I see that you've dropped another video, and this one doesn't disappoint 😊

[@lindalee5408]

So cute! Both you and the carousel, lol. You know you can get very thin colored adhesive tapes for nail art. (kinda like the racing stripes people put on cars). They come in every color and metallic and are quite inexpensive. You could use them instead of painting lines and have a dynamite, perfectly straight edged line..

[@grandmawlaneyrogers2489]

Steve I love the way you did this carousel! Thank you for the details on putting it together.

[@PLHcrafts]

This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen 😊. Love your colors. ✌️❤️🤣 peace, love and happiness

[@ownsacat]

You could use string or chain to hang the little things. That's cute. Great video

[@APOKreations]

That mold is adorable!! ❤❤

[@KustomKre8ted4UByU]

Steve love what you did with this, looks just like a ride at a fair❤❤

[@patriciahayes1237]

I love you I had a bad day and you made it a very good day at the end 😊

[@sharonwarden3502]

Too cute. I have the one with horses. ❤❤❤❤

[@lisalashes47]

I loved the difference in colours you used. I have the carousel with the horses, and it was the first thing I ever made with epoxy resin.❤

[@kathrynseaman6482]

Very pretty, I love carasels

[@Ali-H3444]

That's my favorite ride at the parks. Great job, it's so cute❤

[@BassResinator]

That mold is so cool.

[@tracyharper2121]

That’s lovely! I was surprised with effect of the enamel paint!

[@katalinaharper5595]

Wow hello all I came across this channel at a time I was thinking on trying resin, other videos made me scared to try. Then lovely steve came along and I am hooked every day I must watch 1 video or re-watch my favourite ones. Steve made it look fun so I tried..... yes a few hick ups but have learned so much if it wasn't steve talking about fails I would of quit thinking I can't do it. But now I see every mistake is a lesson learned. My husband is worried as I have spent alot to get everything lol, but he's happy I'm being creative again. Thank you so much steve xxx 😊🎉

[@suzettelombard]

Super cute! I love the enamel paint, thak you! ❤

[@pookysgirl7535]

Steve, you do know technical terms... like squidgy widgy. 😁

[@LisaVornhagen]

That came out so great! I really love it!

[@rebeccaampuero2347]

This is precious!! 💞

[@Vsv1224]

Such a great job, Steve! Thank you for making it look easy. I have that mold, but have procrastinated using it for fear I couldn’t get it right.

[@LizDann-u9g]

Hi i need help with my resin, I’ve been upcycling furniture with resin finishes and there are patches where it hasn’t taken or its pulling ar the sides! Any ideas? Please help

[@-BellFire-]

Is there a difference in the way it look when you put it on the mold verses just mixing the pigment into the resin. Dusting the molds are so messy. Lol

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

HUGE difference! Both are pretty, just different effects. Try it both ways!
