Oh goodness, I've been looking for a clear and concise video looked this FOREVER. Very simple, and I love that you put exactly what your were doing and what you were using. THANK YOU!!!

[@hodaanis197]

I really like the idea very creative

[@kit2130]

I bet you get a crowd with everybody picking out their favorite ones! I've seen the craft store also has bracelets you can set them into. They're so unique & beautiful!

[@canarycoop]

I make my dirty pours over a silicone sheet, and the drips are so awesome! I let them dry then glue down the flat clear glass marbles to the dried paint. Let dry a couple of days, then trim around the excess. Seal, dry, and glue a magnet to the back. These make great fridge magnets!!

[@optijessprime]

I'm having a terrible time with air bubbles. :( any advice?

[@patquimby4667]

Oh, Nicky. Those are so beautiful. So many ideas come to mind. Thanks for showing this to us.

[@WayToGoOz2]

Thankyou so much for your videos Nicky, you answer questions I didn't know I had and help inspire so much.

[@pinkladylumps]

Omg 😍 wicked ideas

[@getgodspeed]

So pretty! I recently started pouring then I learned you can do stuff with the skins!! that's so awesome. Thank you!

[@DeesBBB]

Love it!!! Just a little note for people using E6000, if it's something you might use once or twice; try and get it in the smaller tubes. I have one big tube that I hadn't used in about 6 months and it was almost impossible to open and the glue had a hard time working properly. =)

[@MansiMakes]

You can apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the tube cap before closing it and it will help open the tube with ease after a long time of not using it.

[@Jerry-hp5sf]

Mansi Makes awesome idea! I’m going to do that from now on. Thanks!

[@freeway_22]

Lovely work. Thank you for sharing.

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Thank you So Much for this tutorial. I’ve been excited to try acrylic pour technique, but I’m afraid of wasting a canvas and paint if I don’t like my color combos. I’m definitely going to try making skins for jewelry first. I think it will be a good safe first step to try. I’m excited to make cabochons for bead weaving and bead embroidery using what you taught in this tutorial. Thanks again!

[@1iceskating]

beautiful and so different, and from only one pouring session, woooowwwww!!!

[@amy8460]

I love your project they turned out great! And using a silicone mat, never heard of that. I love the music too its very relaxing.

[@thecs2837]

that's a brilliant idea and they look beautiful

[@DOGTAGx50Cal]

Hello Nicky they all look so professionally done love, awesome xx

[@NickyJBurch]

Thanks Paul. I appreciate the encouragement. 💛

[@babsa3421]

Great idea, what fun!

[@cindijennings2285]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I made some after watching this with my acrylic pouring paint skins and they turned out beautiful!

[@ruthweal3404]

Lovely tutorial and a nice set of pendants 😋

[@isahunnybee]

beautiful! When I first came across this type of art I wondered what I could come up with if i poured onto something I could then take the picture up from. Now I know. Plus I have a few ideas now of my own. Loved that colour combo too

[@mom2mmpt]

Thank you for sharing your technique and beautiful work! You are amazing!

[@lorrainesmart9810]

They're beautiful, thanks for sharing ☺️

[@NickyJBurch]

The canvases I purchase come already prepared, so I do not gesso.

[@annemiekebelgraver7400]

How nice!

[@marlenasmith7813]

So cool! Can't wait to try!

[@colleen2211]

wonderful demonstration thank you colleen

[@angelabarton2551]

Brilliant idea, it could also be used for to decorate an old card or small bought jewellery box or coffee table top. if the top had resin poured on top and smoothed out, 🌺🌹🌺🌹🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁 or even a bezel connecters for a bracelet with the acrilic skins would look awesome with matching rings,so many things can be used ,with this art so beautiful

[@gaylaroof612]

they sure are beautiful!

[@Samkoutloud]

That is just the best thing I've seen

[@margarethdemery488]

What a coincidence... Michael's had a close out on some pendant supplies... great timing for this video! Thanks a million 😎

[@susansnyder1339]

Really nice!!

[@jacquelinevandermeer]

Love it!! I’ll sure to try this! ❤️ Thank you for sharing it!

Very nice and beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@iaiabo55]

bellissimo, fantastico, eccezionale...

[@anitamitchell3452]

New sub. If this is where I started I can't wait to see what else you have in store for me. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@christinesharland8478]

love that jewellery where do you get the clear pendants please

[@maryamtabarestani945]

I love it.

[@averagekirbyenjoyer7909]

Goin' in the "Other Kool Krafts" playlist

[@kjstarr2893]

Looks better than any pour that I've see with Flotrol!

[@cjonescrna]

Thanks sooo for sharing!

[@terryrichardson9230]

I just bought a tube of E6000 and used it for the first time. It was so stringy and hard to use. Is there anything I can do to make it more user friendly? You didn’t seem to have any problems using it.

[@NickyJBurch]

The only thing I can think of is maybe try warming the tube in a cup of warm water.

[@terryrichardson9230]

Fluid Art Studios Thank you, Ill give that a try! 😀

[@CharrCrail]

Gorgeous! What else can you do with this stuff-- beyond magnets??

[@dmsdana4501]

They would look great as pendants in metal bails!

[@agnesashford2074]

great idea, thanks or sharing.

[@katcole2830]

Love the magnets, but the bezel cups are hard to find. Are they absolutely necessary? Could the magnet be glued directly to the back of the skin?

[@NickyJBurch]

No, they are not a necessity. They just make for a nice finished look.

[@katcole2830]

Thank you so much for the quick response. I agree yours are really beautiful. I'm just learning (I.e., obsessing) about this new art form and will experiment for a while. Love your videos! Thank you!

[@dinaelsherbiny1727]

Thank you, I’d like to ask why e600 can I use glazed diamond on bezel instead ? Also, can I add dried flower or it will cause pumps ?

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Beautiful

[@jeanniejohnson1399]

Thanks for video and sharing you’re lovely pendants. Do you remove the silicone from the dried paint before gluing to glass?

[@FreeYourMindArt]

I have just started making these myself but the Diamond Glaze is so expensive here in the UK. Wonderful pendants, Thanks for sharing :)

[@ElaineMurphy66]

I do something similar, but I use resin rather than buying the glass and diamond glaze. I mix it and use a syringe to put the resin into the broach, pendants mould etc. Acrylic skin in first once it is dry then topped with the resin. Looks every bit as good and effective, cheaper too than the diamond glaze.

[@FreeYourMindArt]

That's a good idea! Thanks.

[@Samshomecookeddesign]

Have you tried Glossy Accents or gel Mediums?

[@WhirledPeasFursure]

totally fun,,, thanks

[@starbabar1005]

this is really really coool,,,,,,,,

[@kimkline9734]

Hi Nicky...I’m creating a list from your amazon page...I see the glass domes but which item is for the backs for those glass domes? (I’m making the magnets) The only ones I can find on Etsy have pendant loops attached..? ...also..do I need the foam adhesive circles you show on your amazon list page??? Thanks for your video tutorial and your advice!☺️

[@NickyJBurch]

I used the foam circles on the original magnets I made without the bezels. There is a video for those as well, link in the description. It's difficult to find the 30mm bezel cups. The ones I purchased were from this Etsy seller. www.etsy.com/shop/maxnmesuppliers

[@sindhyajegan8870]

Hi did you add paint and glue in the ratio 1:2 or the other way around. Loved the work. 👍🏻

[@FaithlynWalker1316]

I can’t seem to find the pin backs for these but I really love this video

[@user-ty3gc8lj8f]

these are really neat! thankyou for your videos =) i've made like 8 pour paintings so far. I keep having them crack when they dry, which is extremely dissapointing. Have you had issues with this? how do you prevent it?

[@Robvr_o4w]

Mindy Atkinson+ Pouring mediums such a Liquidtex, GAC800, or even a mixture of PVA glue (like elmers glue all) are reputed to prevent cracking in your paint. I've used mainly the Liquitex and have not had any issues with cracking. Hope that helps.

[@kimberlyperkins2992]

You may be using too much water. I dont use any water, only flotrol. OR paint is too thick on canvas

[@mixedupmargie]

All nice! Tfs

[@sameratseng]

Hello! Thank you so much for this very informative vIdeo, I enjoyed watching it and the result was beautiful! I'm just wondering how to get a smooth surface after the paint dries, I tried once before and I keep getting holes/pinholes and uneven surface..Even on silicon mat.. do you have any advice for avoiding that? Any information would be so helpful!

[@sherryrollings1624]

Nicky I watch almost all y our videos and love each one. in this one you said that you mix glue 2-1....is that just for skins or do you do that with all you work

[@djlianneke]

Hi, please does silicone (?) drups do the same with nail polish? Where to buy this liquid.. so i can try it on nailpolish..

[@kimberlyperkins2992]

Alot of people get it on Amazon. You can also use coconut oil hair serum found at Walmart, but only a little. The serum is thicker than the treadmill silicone, that's what its listed under. Treadmill oil

[@Krokussli]

very beautyful

[@JudiChristopher]

You are one smart lady!!! Beautiful Art... I looked on your Etsy store... and you only had one (1) item for sell?!

[@debtempleton9424]

Wow these are amazing! Cheers, DEB T

[@jeanniewinters847]

I just had a great idea. How about gluing button holes on the back and sell in groups of 4 on a card. With that...I just turned into a genius 😎😎😎 LOL

[@Robvr_o4w]

Jeannie Winters+ Weird, I was thinking buttons the whole video! Liked the pins/magnets...but what about buttons?? LoL.

[@cosmlayla]

Where do you buy the empty jewelry pieces?

[@JewelSand]

etsy and amazon has some I believe

[@melony5313]

I have just started doing this and I love your videos thanks for sharing! I pour my skins in a cat litter box get them at the dollar store lol but I had a question? Why do you use just glue and not floetrol too? And does the glue yellow over time? Thanks in advance I get so much inspiration from your videos thanks for sharing!

[@soulwinds31]

i love them too, am thinking the flotroel makes the cells, so if you dont want cells, then? :)

[@JewelSand]

I actually use floetrol as well as glue (because usually make skins from leftovers) and they turn out very celly and awsome :)

[@solangegaia2271]

Melony Knudson with glue after some time dont know how much expecif it starts to crack and pealing of

[@kimberlyperkins2992]

@@soulwinds31 silicone makes the cells

[@sindhyajegan8870]

Hi could you please tell me what type of paints you used for this craft. And also is this durable

[@debtempleton9424]

Hi Nicky. I know I've already commented on this great video but forgot to ask do you have any tips on storing acrylic skins. Mine always kind of stick together even though I put clingfilm in between the layers - would freezer paper work do you think? Cheers, Deb T. P.S Thank you again for your creativity and sharing. Cheers, DT

[@JudiChristopher]

Wax paper?

[@dalenam.816]

I'd agree with wax paper. I used wax paper as a barrier before running it through my Big Shot with a die cut; worked great!

[@Jerry-hp5sf]

Yep, I use wax paper

[@lesleyfurnival6590]

Maybe the humidity where you are makes it harder. Freezer paper works for me

[@jeanniewinters847]

Nicky, I just watch another guy using skins from his pours to make pendants with and ....I'm sorry, but they were...well...ugly. Your colors and cells are SO beautiful. You should sell just the skins with a tut. Might make a few bucks. The silicone pad is a brilliant idea...you're the best!😎😎😎

[@bettymeinke8447]

Wow..wunderschön

[@dianeousterling7903]

what type of paper do you use?

[@NickyJBurch]

I didn't use any paper. These skins are poured directly onto the silicone mat and then peeled off. I don't recommend pouring onto paper. Leaving paper on the skins can cause issues with moisture and bubbles showing up under the glass during the curing time.

[@dolandaharper2904]

If selling these at a craft fair, how much should I ask for them? Thanks,

[@renyli1]

Thanks! It's wonderful! Please, answer, paint is one part and glue -2 parts? Yes? And some more question-why do your paints not mix? It's very nice! My paints mix... I cannot understand why...It's very sad for me. Thank you for answer.

[@amandacoman6778]

You should try doing the same to christmas ornaments!!!

[@gaylaroof612]

E6000 yellows over time. Does this make a difference with the skins & the glue?

[@NickyJBurch]

I use the Diamond Glaze between the glass and skin, so in my case it wouldn't matter if the E6000 yellowed between the skin and the tray, because it isn't seen.

[@karenmanson1782]

[@daliafouad590]

Woooooooooow

[@starboard7308]

NICE MUSIC too....

[@jesussaves1875]

Contact Adhesive works better if you allow the time the manufacturer suggests before putting the 2 ends together - much stronger bond.

[@Jerry-hp5sf]

Could you use the Diamond Glaze to glue the skin-covered dome to the bezel? The bottle says it’s an adhesive and much easier to clean off the glass dome than E6000. I have a love-hate relationship with that stuff...lol.

[@NickyJBurch]

Yes, you could use the diamond glaze for attaching the skin to the bezel. I tend to make a bigger mess with the Diamond Glaze which is why I don't use it in the bezel. The E6000 is thicker and I can get it where I want with a smaller amount. I don't like the odor though and would forgo it for the Diamond Glaze if I knew for sure the Diamond Glaze's adhesion is comparable to E6000 long term.

[@Transitlady59]

My skin crack when drying please advice

[@silverdirtdraws9828]

Marie La Rue - its too thick, you need to either make your paints thinner, or spread them out more once poured

[@ritadadone9358]

È possibile tradurlo in italiano.?

[@TheKoolkat1961]

was the ratio of glue to paint 1 part glue to 2 parts paint please

[@esalenchik]

Katrina Hoskin I think it said 2:1 glue to paint, so more glue, less paint.

[@louiscypher7090]

Glitter...

[@rfgrannyb4092]

Why do you guys all us so much glue? Wouldn't half the amount work and not ooze out the sides?

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Those came out lovely!
