Iridescent resin crystal tower DIY | Making a resin crystal with LET'S RESIN silicone molds

[@conniehigbee347]

I appreciate your video not being long and drawn out. Right to the point!! Thank you!!

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching. I like to watch quick straight to the point videos so I like to keep mine like that too 😁🤗

[@ezlypist]

love learning something so simple that becomes so incredibly beautiful! (and don't forget your vitamin D if short on sunshine)✌

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much, these are so easy and fun to make. I love the way they look all finished 🤗 We have been taking the vitamin D, I have some drops I add to my water. I have drops for my kiddos too 🤗 thanks for watching 💜

Thank you for showing us how this is done! It's SO beautiful!!

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching, I love making these and can't wait to make some more like this soon. 🤗

[@LonghornWorkshop]

That’s a cool looking tower and love the tip to use the alcohol to remove it from the mold. Educational and fun to watch as always

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you 🤗 I love making these they're so fun and easy too. Thanks for watching 😁😁😁

[@miriamluskberry]

Beautiful! Elegant! Saving this video and will be spraying my alcohol in the mold tomorrow!

[@vonellevanzant237]

Thank you, Trish! I have some similar molds, but had no idea how to get started. I love yours!

[@naptimecreations]

Awesome, I'm so glad this was helpful. Definitely give this a try. The pieces are gorgeous in person 🤗 thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰

[@cherylstitt8382]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Thank you for the wonderful tips (MUCH cheaper to buy a large roll of iridescent cellophane and diy than buying the super tiny jars!!)!! And, again, your voice is sooo soothing!!

[@naptimecreations]

Awe thank you 🤗🤗🤗 & thanks for watching 🤗 I agree the roll is much more cost effective. Only $13 for a huge roll. You could even put some in a coffee grinder to make super small pieces more easily 🤗

[@mandalasbypamela4087]

So pretty & love the rainbow prism effects it will give off as well as the opalescent iridescent look! Thank you for sharing & teaching Tish, your videos are lovely!!! 💞🙏🙂

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks a million Pam 🥰🤗 I love making these. They're so fun, the hardest part is waiting to do the next layer 😅 I want to make some half blue half white opalescent next. Thanks for watching 🥰🤗💙

Hi. Subtitles 🙏🏻 Thanks! I loved your art! ⚘

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤗🤗🤗

[@beckiferrucci4097]

You could also put it on - of those round mini light box things to display it so you can display it anywhere, regardless of the sun.

[@naptimecreations]

That's a cool idea, I'll have to check it out and give it a try. Thanks for the idea 💡 🤗🌸

[@TheHannahBandana]

I have heard some people do their next pours before the resin is fully cured while the layer below is like 1/3rd cured in order to avoid that tiiiny line of demarcation between the layers when they do clear projects like this or those pyramid molds. Have you ever tried this method? I haven’t done any big projects yet that require multiple pours so I want to learn as much as I can before I do! Love these crystal towers, this one turned out so beautiful! 😍 I like the blue ones you did in a previous video as well!

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤗💙 I have heard that too but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I hope to test it out soon. I haven't been able to time it just right where I can pour 8 hours after the previous layer has been poured. I usually pour in the afternoon and by the time 8 hours hits I'm asleep or too tired 😅 but it's on my list to try asap 🤗

[@TheHannahBandana]

@@naptimecreations yay! Please film it when you do so we can learn too 🥰 Love your videos!

[@naptimecreations]

@@TheHannahBandana Thank you 🥰 I most definitely will film it 🤗 I'm going to test it with liquid diamonds because I know with that one, about 8 hours is the time to pour the next layer to avoid that line 🤗💟

[@lordmater]

I do this all the time and it works perfectly. Just be sure to mix your new layer thoroughly before you pour. :)

[@naptimecreations]

@@lordmater awesome, thank you 😁🤗

[@PixieWitch626]

Ohhhhh love love ❤️

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you ❤️🌹🤗

[@funo6581]

I love these, your blue one is so pretty too! I have the same molds and I’m going to do this with a deep pour resin that I haven’t tried yet. Can’t wait to see the results! Thanks for the idea! I hadn’t thought of trying this and I love iridescent film.

[@naptimecreations]

Awesome, I hope you give it a try. They're so pretty and easy to make too. I love how they turn out. Let me know how yours turn out. Definitely give it a try asap 🤗💙 thanks for watching 🤗

[@funo6581]

@@naptimecreations I will let you know for sure! I’m going to try doing it in a single pour, I want to test the limits of this new resin. A wood turner a watch uses it and I’ve seen him pour it at least that deep. I am going to refrigerate it though, to slow the cure and hope it doesn’t go exothermic on me 😆 Refrigeration worked the last time I tried it and it wasn’t a deep pour resin. I have an extra little fridge that I’m not using for food. I’ll let you know if it works. Thanks for all your help!

[@naptimecreations]

@@funo6581 ooohh that sounds really cool, I'm excited to hear how it turns out. 🤗🤗🤗

[@LAndrews-ed6vd]

Gorgeous crystal tower! How would you go about top-coating the tower?

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you 🙂 to top coat use thicker resin.

[@judyeuller7602]

Do you use a release spray? This is so pretty. Great idea.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks so much for watching, no I don't use release spray. Just some 91% isopropyl alcohol before I demold and it pops right out 🤗

[@miriamluskberry]

Is your cellophane fusible?

[@littlefeather9709]

So beautiful and mystical. Love the clarity. I just got my Liquid Diamonds resin and am anxious to use it. There were no directions but I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks for your videos. What part of the USA do you live in? Just wondering. 🦋

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🥰 I love using liquid diamonds it's awesome. Sorry it didn't come with instructions. In this video I made last year I show how I mix and measure it out. It's a 2 to 1 ratio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inbRoqWmr8-Iqq8 I'm in the P.N.W what about you?

[@littlefeather9709]

@@naptimecreations Thanks for your reply. I'll definitely check you link out. I live in NE Tennessee just south of the Bristol Motor Speedway. Nascar country. I used to be a fan but things have changed. Thanks again Tish.

[@naptimecreations]

@@littlefeather9709 Tennessee is a beautiful place I've always wanted to visit there. Maybe I can one day 🤗 my aunt used to be a huge Nascar Fan too but not anymore. She says it's changed a lot too and she doesn't like it anymore. I always remember watching the races on TV with her 🤗

[@conniesolomon4064]

Do you only add resin or resin with hardener

[@naptimecreations]

You have to mix the resin and hardener together or it won't set up. In these videos I show how I mix resin kzbin.info/aero/PLQCwNqjO4lV38G_T9i9lC2yxIyvS_fES4

[@lordmater]

Did you use Iridescent Cellophane Wrapping Paper?

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching, yes I did. I cut a sheet crinkled it up and then cut it into small pieces.

[@AGDinCA]

Why three layers? Why not pour all at once? I could understand if you were making the tower with three colors (which would look amazing, by the way), but for all one color... I just don't understand. If the concern would be over the iridescent pieces sinking, it could be avoided by just waiting a little longer for the resin to slightly thicken before pouring.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching, In my previous resin tower video. I did pour it all in one layer and it didn't set up properly because it was poured too deep in a single pour. The casting epoxy I use shouldn't be poured over 2 inches per application. This is the video where I poured it in 1 layer kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5CZiomFas-WhtE It was sticky in some spots. In my previous video I poured one of these in 1 layer and another in 3 layers. The one with 3 layers set up perfectly the other one done in 1 pour had sticky spots. So I did 3 layers on this piece to avoid the sticky spots. If you have an epoxy that can be poured that deep then definitely give it a try. I have yet to try one that can be poured 5 + inches deep in a pour.

[@AGDinCA]

@@naptimecreations Oh, OK. Got it - that makes sense. 👍

wow you can make a orgenite out of it

Thank you 🥰 I can definitely give it a try. I will try to make one asap 🤗
