Making a resin shaker skull!

[@honey562012]

I've never seen it done with skulls. Great idea. Thanks for sharing

[@Redlotusresin]

Thank you for watching! I recently posted a video using a snail mold to do this too! They're so fun!

[@CinnamonClouds6486]

I've made a couple of these but they're not as cool as yours! So I'll definitely be making more. I'm so happy I found your channel! 💝

[@Redlotusresin]

@@CinnamonClouds6486 Thank you!

[@lindacondray7918]

This is a GREAT idea!!!! Do them with flower fetti for Day of the Dead skulls.

[@Redlotusresin]

@@lindacondray7918 that would be cool!!

[@marilynleonard7677]

I just found you! Why... your channel has not BLOWN UP YET IS PERPLEXING 🤷‍♀️ I absolutely LOVE your Tutorials and how. "Real" you are! (That's a compliment!). Curious if you can think of anything else we can make with these bulbs/shakers???

[@Redlotusresin]

@@marilynleonard7677 Thank you so much!!! There are so many great resin artists that sometimes it’s hard to be seen. I have a video showing how to make a shaker snail too! It’s video #23. Those are a lot of fun too and I’m always on the hunt for new molds that I can use this technique in.

[@cozyrn]

Loved this! Thank you! Just a thought, what if you do a line of resin around around the rim and then put the resin circle on and cure?

[@desireenadeau5800]

I absolutely love this idea!!! 💀The Wickkit's comment about the plug is what i was going to suggest as well. I was also going to suggest using baby oil instead of water and glycerin. That is what i use to make my shakers. Using babyoil and glycerin makes a really cool effect as well! You can colour the glycerin using resin dye and it will have a lava lamp effect 😀

[@thatsright4046]

If you want it to have a cleaner look, cut off the stem with some type of saw, and you will have more area to glue to or attach the UV dot to. I like your idea with the UV resin 👍 I also sand the bulb a bit. It came out sharp.

[@roxyfuros2771]

I loved how this turned out. Beautiful ❤

[@donnakutia9623]

💙 It came out fantastic.. love it. I would have liked to have seen the other coloured one too.

[@Redlotusresin]

Oh, I'm sorry!! I didn't realize I never showed that one! I had made it for my daughter, so I didn't even think about it.

[@donnakutia9623]

@@Redlotusresin Oh, it's ok.. I was just curious. I'm sure your daughter loved it. I'm hoping to make a similar skull so your video is very inspirational. Thank you.

[@tl8413]

Great idea, I have this mold and I like the fact I won't have to use so much resin😊

[@Soleymoons-trinketsnbijoux]

That's awesome!!!!

[@TheWickkit]

No you don't have to leave a bubble. First of all, mix your water and glycerin with the mica powder and non chunky glitter before pouring into your globe. Secondly, use a piece of plastic or Plexi glass as your seal for the bottom, it's easy to cut out of an old cd or cassette case or anything really, plastic is everywhere. Cut your base a little bit bigger than the hole, make a hole in it, big enough to fit the end of a pipette or a medicinal plunger through, you can do this by heating up a screw or a nail and melting the hole into your plug, then glue that on with your UV resin, you can still cover the entire surface area of the plug with the UV resin, except your hole, leave that open, then fill the water in your ball until it's at the very top of your plastic plug with a pipette and plug your hole with a uv resin plug the way you do yours in this video.

[@Redlotusresin]

Thank you for the tips! I'll have to try that!

[@eckyfumparkid3096]

I absolutely love it. Im also intrigued as to how the purple one turned out 😊

[@Redlotusresin]

I wish I could put a picture of it in the comments for you! I'm sorry!!

[@eckyfumparkid3096]

@@Redlotusresin that's ok,I imagine it looks as lovely as this one 😊

[@glenda9651]

just found your channel, love the way the skull turned out, i might get adventurous one day and try it :)

[@Redlotusresin]

Awe! Thank you so much! It's not as hard as you may think. Just take your time, and most of all, have FUN!!

[@lornacy]

Super fun!!

[@areie2051]

Such a cool idea! Loved it!

[@Redlotusresin]

Thank you!

[@zayedalhajeri2136]

Simply, you are the BEST👌💫✌

[@janicepage2257]

Very impressive

[@katrinao]

No idea if the purple could be cos the glitter can clump together but I'm sure I seen on another you tube some time back someone said to add to tiny bit of alcohol in with the glitter and it stops it from clumping together 🤔🤷‍♀️ I made one with where and baby oil. Recently bought some vegetable glycerine as I want to try some shakers for christmas

[@carol-annridler3560]

Thank you. Great video! I’ve been looking for this exactly. I find that fine glitter sticks together or climbs.

[@Redlotusresin]

Thank you for watching!

[@Dawns_Creative_Carousel]

From what I understand you have to have the bubble for it to work right because when I fill shakers I leave a bubble that’s how it was taught

[@marymikehawkins6682]

Awesome!

[@barbwaller2406]

Love this! Where did you get the mold from?

[@Redlotusresin]

I got them from Amazon! I put the links in the description to my latest video on skulls. Check out my #33 video, it’s an updated version of this!

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Very Cool. What do you sell them for? Thanks.

[@Redlotusresin]

I sell these for $50 US dollars usually.

[@Redlotusresin]

Also if you’d like to check out my latest video on making these skulls it’s video #33. It’s an updated one for making these.

[@deelenagraves956]

I wonder if the fine glitter develops a static cling to the plastic ball?

[@Redlotusresin]

I'm honestly not sure what's causing it. I want to play around with it a little more

[@KimberlySchaeffer71]

How does the resin not go down around the ball? Did you use clear resin first to secure the ball?

[@Redlotusresin]

Yes! Clear first around the ball, let that harden then add whatever color resin you want! I also have a better video showing the process in a snail mold.

[@shiningbright9094]

Love that!!! Did you use a deep pour resin?

[@Redlotusresin]

@@shiningbright9094 Thank you! I use Unicone Art Resin and do it in 2 pours. I only use deep pour if I’m going to pour it all at once. A couple of my newest videos have updated techniques if you’d like to check those out!

[@mariecaldwell4855]

what size are the plastic balls? I think it turned out great!!

[@Redlotusresin]

These are 2.36 inch that I bought from Amazon.

[@nikkidavidson6624]

How much resin did you use at the beginning for the bauble? First time wanting to make one and I'm scared I'm going to mess it up 😅😢

[@Redlotusresin]

The amount of clear resin used in the beginning depends on how much of the"globe" effect you want to see. I usually fill my mold about 3/4 of the way up with clear and then do the last part with a color. Hope that helps!
