Even though I have done this in your class, I loved seeing this because you gave tips here in how to add elements of design with different objects like shells, beads or other colors of jazzy glass! I am going to make some of these real soon for a couple of friends!

You mention a snowman coming up and I don’t find it. Do you have a link to it?

[@ArtfulElements]

Somehow my video was deleted so I have to make another one. It’s on the list. It’s very simple. Just create 2 or 3 circles with foil . Then we’re the circles come together I over lap and cut the foil from those areas so it looks like one body . Then you mound the white jazzy glass so it’s higher in the middle of the circle sections but still thick enough between each. Cure and then decorate with hat, buttons, etc.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!🎄

[@billmuchow861]

Can you please tell me exactly how you made the base with the glass piled up? Did you glue or resin it? Thanks

[@ArtfulElements]

So the base can be done several ways. One is I just put glass in a rectangle mold with resin , you can place the tree in it and cure or you can pile the glass up around the bottom and use uv resin. I did some with just wood and added a bolt into my tree and cured the resin. The bolt hangs out just enough you can epoxy it into the wood. I hope that helps.

[@ArtfulElements]

You can always contact me if you need help. Thank you! J

Hermoso podrías traducir al español gracias

[@ToniWall]

The aluminum foil shape is genius! So is the UV Resin to make the project go faster. I just made eight glass trees using two part resin and it’s so messy and takes so long to cure.

[@ArtfulElements]

Hello! yes, the UV resin is very fast can be done with lamp or cure in the sun. I do two parts as well but because my foil creates a chamber the resin stays in place. we just mix a larger batch and divide it out for each project. I us lots of UV for workshops.

[@melbabowen4389]

How gorgeous!!! thank you!!!

[@billmuchow861]

Also, what is the difference between jazzy glass and plain crushed glass from a beer or wine bottle?

[@ArtfulElements]

Hi! Jazzy glass is one of my products. It is safety glass with color coatings that have glitter etc. you can use any glass and add glitter etc. I just developed JG so I could have a product for my students and myself. Thank you! Julia

[@billmuchow861]

@@ArtfulElements It is beautiful. Where do I find it and how much is it? Thank you Julia. You're very talented!

[@ArtfulElements]

Thank you so much! The bottles are 1 pound each and I use to sell on Etsy but now I just do custom orders. They are $14 per bottle I can do practically any color. Here is my Facebook facebook.com/share/19iQ61vvgf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

[@carlamaslin7470]

Can you use sandwich bags for the plastic?

[@ArtfulElements]

Yes or trash bag but if they are too thin they are harder to get pulled off. Some resins get hotter than others so use something strong. I use the table runner because it’s sold in rolls and clear and comes in various thickness so that’s it. Have fun!

[@heidib7080]

Beautiful! What type of plastic was that?

[@ArtfulElements]

It is vinyl clear table runner sold by the yard in fabric departments. You can use heavy clear shower curtains etc. hope this helps

[@junecathierosier5902]

With the uv resin what options I have with the lamp ? Or what lamp will work till I get one

[@ArtfulElements]

If you have UV nail lamp that works but I would do a test for curing time. If you don’t have a UV lamp but have the UV resin you can put your project in the sun to cure it will take longer. The other option is two part epoxy resin you can mix some up pour into a cup add in the glass then just dump the glass into the reservoir and let cure for 24 hours. Hope this helps.

[@deearmstrong1885]

[@Enjoythepour]

Can’t find it anywhere and your store has none. Guess it’s no longer a thing. Bummer.

[@ArtfulElements]

Hi! I still sell it and it’s also available at The Epoxy Resin Store. I made changes to my shop and you have caught me in the middle of that. Artfulelementsshop Etsy. Thank you!

[@dennispedersen7460]

Yall have Epoxy certificates to work with this highly toxic material? Just wondering :) And I would never let a child near this. Resin is small molecule when mixed as this is and when it get in, you have a problem

[@ArtfulElements]

No need for one and always follow safety . Plus it’s done in a well ventilated room. Truthfully there are so many worse toxins . Craft smart :)
