I just wanted to let you know....You are probably this best teacher on you tube, seriously, your voice is calm, you don't jabbber on and on, you explain everything completely and in order for anyone to understand and you don't leave people wondering about the process. I just want to say thank you for being a wonderful teacher and a generous human.

[@Fire-Rabbit87]

I love your tutorials! They are lengthier than other tutorials, but you describe everything in so much detail as you're doing each step! I can't stand watching tutorials with vague instructions that only show parts of the process. Your videos take out all the guess work and make it so easy to follow along! Thank you for your hard work!

These are just 10000% amazing!! You dont need any one else messing you amazing designs up!!!

[@samanthapritchard8280]

What a great idea. I can't wait to try it on other applications, so cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@161gum]

Thank you so much for this tutorial you have mo idea how much easier and better quality it's going to make my resin jewelry. In case anyone else is following the steps and trying to troubleshoot, I found that it's important to make sure the resin isn't spread too thin on any one area of the design, and of course, to mix well like she says in the video. I realized the spots where ink wasn't transferring on my failed attempts felt very thin, and so I added just 3 more drops (1 soft 2 hard) to cover the whole design more evenly and it came out perfectly! For reference my design is like 1.5 by 1 inches

[@dj_amos]

Very educational- what type of printer did you use to print onto a transparency. If ink jet the would the ink run when you apply the resin ? Or did you use a laser printer 🖨️ where the ink is dry !

[@ramonalucas2642]

Alison's you are truly an inspiration to me. Your talent is amazing. You really do think outside the box!! Love your work. Thank you for showing us how to make these.

Ramona Lucas Thank you so much Ramona 💜💜💜

[@rromano158]

I was doing my research here on KZbin for tutorials on how to use UV resins and this is an absolute genius idea. Would you be able to add another transfer print to the back of the wings so that if you were looking from both sides you would see the wing design, but still see the glitter through both front and back? Thank you.

[@missvickie1975]

[mind blown] Thank u for sharing! I have all the ingredients and I will be trying this right after work tomorrow!! I too thought the transparency plastic had to be included in the resin piece. This is a game changer! Love it!!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

missvickie1975 my pleasure! Enjoy! 💜

[@missvickie1975]

I tried this and it worked great! The only thing I decided to do differently was leaving out the soft resin, since the semi-flexible softer resin layer seems to separate from the hard resin layers just like the flexible transparency separates from both kinds of resin when u bend it a bit. if I use hard resin for the image transfer, the next layers of hard resin really bond to it and there's no flexing and separating. I'm guessing totally coating these pieces in hard resin would keep them from flexing and separating too (even when using transparency or soft resin inside). I'm still in awe over how awesome halo glitter looks behind toner printer colors! Simply beautiful!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

missvickie1975 I’m glad that it worked for you. If you mix the soft and the hard together to make your transfer, you will have no issues with the rest of the process. The hard resin I end the process with bonds perfectly with the mix used for the transfer.

[@missvickie1975]

@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox i did mix the soft and hard, creating a semi-flexible layer that was able to wiggle free from the 100% hard resin layer just the same as transparency plastic does when u bend it. .. but of course, i didnt totally coat the piece in hard resin before seeing if the soft/hard mixed layer would separate from the hard layer, because i was testing it on purpose. I find 100% hard adheres to 100% hard better (for me anyway)... that could just be the brands too. But i am still super excited to have found ur video on resin image transfers first... because you have awesome glitter and mica tricks too. Your work is beautiful and inspiring.

[@suzannedawson4120]

I agree, these are gorgeous!! Thank you so much. I hope to try this out, perhaps over the holidays. What kind of worksheet are you using on top of your table there? It almost looks like one of those bendable cutting boards.

[@mookzmom]

Good tips! I’d heard of doing something like this once before, and investigated transparency films. That company also makes some for inkjet printers, so I might give that a try. It’s a great idea to be able to make your own things in this manner, Thanks!

[@mookzmom]

Oh, and I forgot to tell you I already received the intense color shift pigments you recommended on your last video. She really sends them out quickly. I just wish she’d had them all in stock, but I’ll check back. I did get the ones I wanted the most. You are a gem, dear lady!

[@mizunderstood37]

just a heads up albeit late, you can get the transparency film for inkjet printers too normally on ebay i use it its ok

[@jennytreloar9460]

Does the inkjet ink come off onto the resin also? I am having trouble with the laser printed transparencies holding the image and not transfering to the resin. Thank you

[@mizunderstood37]

Jenny Treloar yes its fiddly but it dose work.

[@Just1Nora]

As an artist, a photographer and jewelry artist, I want to thank you for bringing up the issue of not using copyrighted images. It's a faceless crime, but it hurts every artist that you steal from. Yes, it's theft as the artist doesn't receive the proper income for all of their hard work. Never just screenshot or right click and save from search engine results or a website. If you want to use an image as an example to show someone an idea then it's fine, but NEVER use an image to print, modify, or use in projects, especially if you sell them, without permission and/or paying for the right to use it as she has done here. It's also a good idea to tag or reference the artist whose image, or whatever, you used to make your piece. It helps to bring business to the artist besides just being the right thing to do. Digital theft is still theft.

Shelly Beals Thank you so much Shelly! It was fun! 😊

[@cindihall7300]

I have so many questions...first why not just print the whole butterfly then decorate the wings? Can this be done on regular transparency film? After the image is printed, can you use a cutting machine such as a scan n cut to cut it out instead of fussy cutting it? Can I make these really big like to put on the side of my greenhouse? How would I cure them if my uv light isn't very big-can I set them with the flashlight and just let them naturally cure? Thank you for taking the time to make this video and answer my questions, beautiful work!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Cindi Hall Hi Cindi, Thank you! 😊 In answer to your questions. You could also print out a complete butterfly and decorate it. I just did the wings. You need to pick a transparency film that is made especially for your type of printer. I cut around the image after I have applied and cured the resin mix. I would not suggest running that through your cutting machine. You can make them really big if your printer allows it, however, that would use A LOT of uv resin to finish off which would cost a lot of money. Uv resin can be cured in sunlight, it just takes longer. I hope I answered all 😊

[@misssparkle8317]

Yayy! Thanks for sharing, im loving the potential here. Great idea about getting a local print shop to print them out for those without laser printers :))

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

miss sparkle Thank you 😊

[@KissmypatootieAu]

This is really beautiful. I'm going to try it, but I wanted to know if it will work using an inkjet printer? I have previously printed onto transparency film with it but not sure if it will work with the resin. Also, where to you get a UV light from? I couldn't really see yours in the video as it was off camera.

[@hislambcreations]

I use a nail UV lamp, I purchased mine on Amazon. They have a lot of them. Just make sure it’s a 36 watt (or higher) And I have an inkjet printer, I’ve seen other tutorials for this technique using an inkjet and it’s working for them. She even mentions in the video that an inkjet printer will work. So have you had any luck? I have not. I tried probably 5 or 6 wings yesterday and not one of them was successful. I feel so defeated. 😞

[@KissmypatootieAu]

@@hislambcreations I didn't have any luck either. I waited 3 months for my resin to arrive as you can't buy it in australia, then the image wouldn't transfer onto the resin. I ended up leaving the printout in the resin and just coating it but the resin felt really matt and plastic when hardened. Didn't like the UV resin at all, not to mention the toxic smell.

[@hislambcreations]

Kiss My Patootie oh wow! Sounds like this is nearly impossible and I can’t get any help from the posters. I will keep trying tho because it’s a beautiful piece and I really want to be able to do it. Sorry you had trouble as well.

Absolutely brilliant video. I didn't realise you could do this kind of jewellery craft with laser prints. Can you tell me, what kind of bails would you use if they were to be earings or a pendant. I've seen pinch bails and glue on bails. Thanx.

[@Whimsypoint]

I actually ran across this same thing by accident a while back when I tested UV resin on foil tape. When I put it under the UV light, the resin shrank a bit when curing and pulled away from the surface and took all the colorant (I used Sharpie marker - which I don't suggest because it ran under the UV light). I used the resin on another foil piece colored with a different type of ink and it left a great texture in the resin because I had inscribed a design into the tape. I am going to try it again later but, instead of foil tape, I may try paint or ink on some Apollo write-on transparency sheets I have on hand.

[@adalisgarcia3938]

Acrylic paint works well or alcohol makers also work

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

good idea and good tip Alison ma'am.......... Edit 1: ma'am, i was just watching this video and i had a question to ask you.....my parents, mainly my mum, likes to have colour on both sides.......and i was thinking that it would be great having colour on both sides and of course i could achieve that by just coating both sides with plain resin but then i love the sparkle of the glitter and it really made the colour pop as well but then you would be able to see the colourful sparkly wing earrings or pendant on one side but then you would still be able to see the glitter layer on the back side as well and i was thinking that it would be be nice to sandwich this glitter layer between two colour layers, but i just don't know how i could do that......is there any way that you could make a tutorial on this?

I am loving this style of resin in making the wings. I've done several with no problem but I recently had one where the ink did not transfer to the resin and wondering what I did wrong? One wing was fine, the other wasn't. I know you'll know what I did wrong. Thank you so much!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

angela walker Thank you so much 😊 I’m not exactly sure what happened. It could possibly be the ink, if you used a different laser printer. Maybe you put the resin on the uninked side? (I have done that by a accident) Weird that one would work and not the other. Without being there I really can’t tell you why :/

[@angelawalker1075]

[@xiaochi9022]

Thank you for the wonderful video! I tried with the ratio with 2 to 1 and it works! I bent the resin like you did and I found it hard to control the quality of the image transferred to the resin, some ink might still be left on the film. Then I found out that, when I cut the edge of the resin from the film, a little part of the film along the cut edge is already separated from the resin, and it looks a little white, so I simply pulled the film off from that edge, in this way the image is transferred perfectly, and the bending process is not necessary anymore.

[@UsagiRachel]

Just wondering... what is the difference between hard and soft UV resin? I saw you mix them both together with a 2:1 ratio, whereas normal epoxy resin is 1:1... is it a 2 part UV resin? I would really like to get the hang of UV resin to reduce my project times but I can't seem to get it right.

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

UsagiRachel Soft resin cures very flexible. Hard resin cures very hard. The ratio I used was 8 parts hard to 4 parts soft. Normally you don’t mix these two uv resins, they are used alone. I mixed them to make the image transfers work better. 😊

[@MsPrincessJen1]

So have you tried with just the hard resin to get the transfer paper off? Cuz I dont see me using soft. I am just getting into uv resin. So what would I use soft resin for?

Would an inkjet printer work (so long as you insert the transparency paper in it to print on)? Also, what photo editing software do you use? Thank you so much!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

I haven’t tried ink jet mainly due to the ink not being waterproof. Ink jet ink is a liquid where laser jet is a powder that goes through a heat process to print.

[@milliejeanvgc]

@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox If I used an ink jet printer for this project, do you think the resin would smear the butterfly design as it's being applied?

taz sharif Thank you. I don’t think so as ink jet ink is not waterproof. It would most likely smear.

What if we use our ink jet printer onto ink jet transparency film .. Then laminate the whole thing... then use UV resin to cover the whole thing adding glitter etc after its covered with the resin.

Hi Dear , I love the butterflies. I just get all set from etzy. Question, what brand of laser printer do you have?. Can you please let me know if you don’t mind. Thank you in advance

Why do you need to combine the hard and soft resin? I'd think using straight soft resin would be fine for the transfer, and then covering it in the hard resin. I don't have a laser printer or transparency film available or I'd be testing myself tonight! I do like the idea of transferring instead of just cutting out the image and embedding them in resin.

Lots of work but they are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

It is amazing what you created just stunning. Thank you. I would like to know how you determine how long to put the resin in the uv machine for please?

Thank you for this video! What would be the best way to smooth out the edges of these wings as well as polish them?

[@belindamason8286]

Wow these are GORGEOUS ❣️❣️ Do you think I could use an inkjet printer with the transparency film designed for ink jets?

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Belinda Mason Thank you Belinda 💜 I have not tried it with an inkjet. I think someone did leave a comment that they tried it and it didn’t work :/ If you don’t have a laser printer, you can take your image files to a print shop and they can print it out for you 😊

What photo editing software do you use? Thank you!

These were just beautiful. I wish I could have watched the collaboration video, but I dumped Facebook several years ago.

Hi! Thanks for this video. I have a question tho. What are printable wings? How do you use them? It wasn't mentioned in the video

[@Reyhoney]

Just high dpi(quality) wing pictures with transparent background, you can do them by yourself with photoshop too.
