New Tray/Dish Molds: Can We Put a Temporary Tattoo Straight into the Mold Then Accent w/Stickles??

I recently saw a wonderful video on Claire's Crafty Corner channel (video here: • Resin Trays: Using Tat... ) where she tested out the idea of putting a temporary tattoo straight into a silicone mold, then drawing around it with some Stickles glitter glue for accents, then pouring the resin in. And I loved how hers turned out, so I wanted to give that a try with my new dish/tray molds! And the tattoo gods didn't laugh at me (too much)!

I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.
Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!

[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Those turned out beautifully 😍 Could i use liquid pearls by ranger instead of stickles plz x

[@Luxinda]

Thank you! Yes, absolutely! I never got around to making a video with the liquid pearls, but they work exactly the same way as Stickles.

Very ice you have such a steady hand lol

Thank you! It’s funny, but I always feel like I have the shakiest hands when I’m trying to do these projects. Especially when I know the camera’s on.

Very Nice 👌

[@tahlishaeggmolesse2876]

Was it Claire’s crafty corner? She does the trays with tattoos 😃💖 looks amazing by the way! Love it! 👌🏽💐

[@Luxinda]

Yes, it was! She’s amazing and very inspiring 🥰

[@susannoonan3609]

Love love this. When it is finished can you feel the tattoo?

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! No, you can’t feel it at all; it’s totally contained or sort of absorbed by the resin. I put a thin layer of clear resin over the bottom of the tray anyway to protect that part and make it look really glass-like.

[@pamelar3607]

Looks awesome! I think if u had covered the entire tattoo with that glitter glue it would have been a punch of that Irredessant color ! But I love the way they all turned out..

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! I was so new to using glitter glue at that point that I was definitely very hesitant to use much. But yes, that would've been great! I actually did this again with a waterslide in a tray mold and used a lot more of the glitter glue around the image. Here's the link if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIGWkGpmjZyggNE

@@Luxinda im gonna watch all yr videos. I love the creativity. Its so inspiring!!

[@davidmckelvie9704]

Don’t do it folks, when it comes out the tattoo is always going to be sticky, it doesn’t work. Best pouring a little resin first then the tattoo. Don’t do this folks, you’ll regret it

[@Luxinda]

Lol!! If you actually watched to the end, you’d hear me say that to finish each piece there needs to be a thin layer of clear resin poured into the flat area of each tray or dish to cover and protect the tattoos. And it’s much easier to do that afterwards than trying to pour a clear layer in beforehand and have it flow down and fill up the rim area of each mold. In fact, I show how easy it is to finish these pieces in this video at about the 5:30 time mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnabiqGbrtuZgNE

@@Luxinda my apologies, your absolutely correct, thanks for the advise.

[@fatemehbakhshi6661]

Just whit resin??

[@Luxinda]

The resin I poured into the molds was mixed with a combination of white sparkle mica and some Piñata Blanco Blanco white alcohol ink. So, yes, I poured white resin into the molds.
