Making a Resin Polaroid Keychain! | Photos in Resin

[@risssalove]

It would be so satisfying to have a fridge full of the Polaroids as magnets. I love that there’s a little depth and that it’s not just flat.

[@bluemermaid915]

That;s a great idea!!!!

[@katsfairytale]

I'm thinking it would be fun to make them into the shakers, but make them like snowglobs so you could shake them and have snow floating around.

[@NozoASMR]

Yes!

[@bluemermaid915]

@@katsfairytale I love that idea even better!

[@lisajoyner5326]

Best idea!

[@katecraven1604]

Hello! I’m a resin artist as well and just thought I’d help ya out by telling you that you don’t have to wait for each layer to completely cure! If you wait an hour or two between layers they won’t mix☺️

[@pookarah]

She uses a super slow cure resin, pretty sure, when she does layers the same day they often mix

[@katecraven1604]

pookarah that could very well be possible😂 I usually don’t use slow cure just because I’m impatient to demold🤭

[@sylviaslaunwhite6033]

@@katecraven1604 what brand of resin do you use that is not slow cure, if you don't mind my asking.

[@katecraven1604]

Sylvia Slaunwhite I get the gallons of allumilite clear cast it’s usually around 24 hours till it’s completely cured but you can add new layers after about an hour without them mixing. I demold around 12 hours and it’s pretty firm then

[@eucares5083]

I've been putting photos in resin for years. I use Mod Podge for paper giving them 2-3 coats and it works beautifully. The key is letting them air dry for a good 8 hours (or cheat using a fan.) No more laminate. : )

[@shannonnicole4046]

Couldn’t you just pour whatever color resin into the mould, let it cure, take them out of the moulds, THEN place your photos in the areas for the photos and cover with clear resin?

[@christinaquinones1853]

I like that! Less steps! And will still be cute!

[@23Timi23]

Shannon Nicole i wrote the exact same thing 😄

[@rebeckahtraverse8201]

Yes you can

[@myreborncorner3715]

You probably wuld have to por more that one time that way to, or the pic will flote and move

[@AfallinAngel]

Good Idea I didn't even think of that.

[@mommadeth3066]

Don’t ever be sorry for adding glitter. I want all the glitter

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Yaasss! Me too haha ✨

[@pkk639]

I'm sooooo sorry to be a party pooper but glitter, (unless biodegradable/edible) is so bad for our oceans and our animals. Its small enough to get through filters and is easily swallowed by all our sea creatures, large and small. Just something to think about Xxx

[@mommadeth3066]

Nicola Nicola pretty sure the brands she uses are biodegradable since glitters been such a big topic for years. Should go over to the chick that makes bath bombs and comment there since she doesn’t use biodegradable glitters and those actually go into the sink rather than resin that hardens and gets tossed

[@mommadeth3066]

Nicola Nicola it also isn’t that hard to look at the brands of mica and glitter she uses and go research it. I would be more concerned about the mica powders and where they are mined from as most mica comes out India where they use children to pull it out while parents also work in the mines. Mines have collapsed on these kids killing them yet mica is still used in every day product.

[@shellyclinton7084]

You make my heart so happy. Everything you make you are just so happy. Thank you!

Chala is the freaking best I’m dying to get my hands on one of her molds! Thank you heather for being so amazing and sharing your resin knowledge with us 😍😍🖤🖤🖤

[@erinnicole0206]

As a teacher, my heart physically hurts when you waste all that laminate 😂😂 I know you don’t do it on purpose, but I’m over here salvaging as much laminate space as possible. Girl, I love you, but you can laminate multiple pictures in one pouch!!!!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Lmao! I knoooow I don’t know why I did that 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ it won’t happen again, you have my word 😂

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

Me too! It's like gold dust lol

[@sareuhh1182]

SAME! I was like, ummm I could've fit all of those pictures into one pouch. Teachers sure do know how to stretch and use every resource!

[@snowpuppies1]

Not a teacher, but I thought the same.

[@wadettem]

LOL Me too, hahaha

[@penelopebakken4480]

How cool is that!!!?? I love them! You make my day! You're so much like my granddaughter...I don't get to see her often, so you're like an instant fix. Thank you!!

Awww!! That makes me so happy! Thank you soo much! ❤️

[@amethyst1826]

Awwww. That's so sweet. I hope you get to see your granddaughter soon.

They're cute. It's so fun seeing you at the end, you worked hard on those things and they deserve to be FLEXED.

[@blacknailpolish2]

I love Chala Supplies she is super sweet and has the cutest molds!

[@andreaw.3871]

You are so much fun to watch! And informative! Thanks for posting! Andrea

[@leewitte4580]

These are so much cuter than I could even imagine that they would be!!! Big project or small project, the time consuming art is the curing!!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Omgosh it totally is haha thank you soo much! ❤️

[@alisharatta6315]

I'm new to this art medium and trying to navigate different ideas. I'm grateful for you and others that have inspired me and continue to give ideas and step by step tutorials.

[@NG-yz4rt]

Love these... just a side note 📝 I've put pictures straight into resin & have had no problem with them after. The picture still look great so far & no discoloring.

[@amethyst1826]

That was fortunate for you.

[@NG-yz4rt]

😂

[@ilovejewelyn]

I’ve been having fun making key chain with my houseplant blooms and fern! Thanks for the inspiration... one day I’ll add a photo in resin 💚

You did a WONDERFUL job !!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌 So cute !! 😊 Thank you for sharing !!😊

[@tonydeleon640]

You look gorgeous! Hair looks phenomenal. Okay now I’ll watch the video. I just needed you to know.

[@sydneygilbert613]

I make album cover keychains out of resin for my Etsy (BrokeTheMoldResin) and I have found that honestly putting mod podge on the images that I put inside works very well. I print them out on a normal printer, but I do 2 layers of mod podge and then they’re good to go inside!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Ooo! Okay! I love your shop name btw! ❤️

[@gabrielesotelo3254]

Love me some glitter in everything too, so go for it. It’s your project,and so far what I have all is very tastefully done by you.

[@hannah-leahbrown2477]

NEVER DOUBT PUTTING GLITTER IN! Glitter makes everything just a little more gorgeous!

[@tammielong5752]

They would be adorable Christmas ornaments for your tree!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Great idea...and those "strange" keychains were the "regular" ones in the 70/80ies - at least in Germany... :-)

[@seachelleart9729]

I was going to post the same thing. 🙂😁

[@lorenehughes]

Yeah same in NZ too😂

[@maeganmahoney1294]

I remember them from being a kid in the late 80’s and 90’s in the US as well. I had kind of forgotten about them.

[@nadiatovias1245]

Hi!!! I'm from Mexico and I bought the mold from a local artist, it is a little bigger, but a love it. I have made shakers and they are beautiful!!! Instead of putting the picture in the second layer, I only pure 2 layers and when it is completely cure, I put on the picture so I can use less resin. I made them fridge magnets.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

I definitely think I should’ve done it that way instead but yess I’m sure they’re super cute magnets! ❤️

[@christinaquinones1853]

😂 I can't watch u anymore 😂 I just had to go buy them. And now I'm gonna have to buy a laminator 🤦‍♂️ 😂 😂 😂

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Lmao I’m sorrryyyy 😂❤️

[@aracelysee9665]

You can buy self laminating sheets which don't require you to have a laminator or honestly just packing tape! Works well too!

Just buy photo paper and the images will look just as good

I do like the Gold...only because it looked like the pictures were of desert or outside nature...so gold acting like brown glittery background❤ Now I bet your family will want you to make them one...Wonderful memory for keychain😊❤

[@barrycollins5060]

Oh sweet Heather, the keychains you used in my opinion are of better quality. I live in the U.k. and I remember them being around in the mid seventies ( my early teen years ) when you could purchase them as novality keyrings anywhere from the local shop right up to Woolworths!!!. With your wacky sense of humour and smile keep up the good work, as I look forward each week to your new video's. Please involve Shawn more, as you both make such a good team. Have you ever thought about auditioning for " Saturday night live?". lol XXX.

[@amethyst1826]

I really miss Woolies.

[@amethyst1826]

Same here. They were all the rage when I was at school. I wonder why we don't see them these days? Maybe they'll make a comeback.

[@bdejurnett]

These are to cute and can convert them to many different things besides keychains. Love it!!!!

[@josephinemiller4780]

I would’ve Drilled holes into the top and used I hooks and then hook ring. These are really cute

[@lindacondray7918]

That’s what I was thinking too. I secure my eye hooks after I screw them in with a drop of super glue or UV Resin (just paranoid that the weight of keys would pull out the hooks.)

[@kambriasimon1092]

Why not put all the photos in one of the sheets to lam instead of two ? But I just dropped everything to watch this as soon as my phone told me you uploaded again!!!!.

[@youknow3219]

Little projects taking as long as big projects is literally the story of my life when recording my videos. You want to do something small to give yourself a little big of a break but it just never works out that way

[@valeriyatikhomirova3057]

Please do more of these with some little flowers on a white background! That would be so pretty 🌸

[@msbutterfree34]

WOW YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB ON MAKING THOSE KEY CHAINS.

[@23Timi23]

omg i love them, specially for little fridge magnets!!!

[@instagamrr]

yes this!

[@LG2022xv]

the picture most likely would have floated in the resin this way

[@23Timi23]

Life's Good you can easily stick it on the cured resin so it doesnt float up :)

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Yasss that’s such a good idea! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@lalakitty_xo]

I think the intention of the molds is to pour it solid, then put the picture inside the hole and fill with clear resin. Your way looks really cool too.~

[@dutchik5107]

I think so too. Soooooo much easier

[@Leolion012]

I thought they where shaker molds. wouldn't the pictures float if you did that?

[@TiffYG2133]

🤍A little dried flower or two would look cute at the bottom of the Polaroid one and they'd also make cute fridge magnets, I may have to get these molds too!

I haven't seen one of those types of keychains since I was a teen and I'm 53 - I didn't even know they still made them! Love your project - they look great. :) I can't wait to see you try a shaker - you'll love the finished result - I mean, glitter, sequins and other bits all floating around - What's not to love? :)

[@myralandry5688]

Super cute! I might have used an eye screw to put the key chain on but your way worked well too. Definitely the most key related content.🤣

I totally agree with the eye screw I kept saying you're doing it wrong but it still came out 👌

[@elissabars5911]

Just a little announcement, the place where she got the molds from has closed her website until tomorrow (August 6) at 5 PM PST. After I saw this video I wanted to go buy some before she sold out but I guess that wasn't meant to be :c I loved your video though, you're the one who has inspired me to actually start doing resin! (I've been contemplating doing it for a little while)

Saw one of her videos from about 9 months ago where she was handling resin without gloves, and honestly I am very happy she wears them now!! (Except for pressing the photos in for some reason?) I can only she’s got a well ventilated room amd a mask on as well that we can’t see! ❤️❤️❤️

[@themisstra7708]

Hi you can also add a drop of resin epoxy into the hole where the ring is so the ring doesn’t open and the key chains fall off. It’ll seal it.

[@AlwenaRin]

You're such a smiling and positive person, it's heart-warming! "I guess you want me to make one like regular polaroid... but!..." I felt that "but" coming from a mile away and I found it so cute!

Those key chains are the kind we mainly had here in the Uk. I love both of those 'picture key chain's you made. I'm like you, if it can be glittered it would be glittered, and if not, I'd keep trying to get some sparkle on it, glitter nail polish is great for that. Hugs x Ann x

[@cherylbirch5071]

Yes those are basically shaker molds. I just started doing shakers and after about 5 tries, I got it. On to these, they are adorable. I do think they looked better with the open holes though. Maybe do a set without the resin filler in the front? The strip would be cool with galaxy pictures and make it a shaker with pretty glitter. Use baby oil as filler.
