The eyelets make so much difference. They take average to high end. All of these of amazing. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

Allison. To make your holes in your buttons consider using a corn cob holder. The 2. Pins are perfectly spaced for them!

[@InquiringMindsKnow]

These are gorgeous! I love the colors, pattern, and textures. The eyelets are genius. I have slowly been amassing supplies but have no time to create. I dream of doing crafting full time, but afraid to let go of bread and butter job as I live in a high cost area and I am doing everything alone. For someone dreaming of starting this career full time in their 60's, what advice do you have? I am not sure I would like mass production or fulfilling orders, shipping, and running to the post office everyday. The creating is what I love. I was in a craft show once but no one came so it was 2 full days of sitting there in the wind and a day of prep before going. Zero income. Just wondering what to do to make enough for a mortgage and expenses? I am a big fan and hoping you could let me into your thoughts - good and bad. Thank you!!!

[@karenmorris5847]

I love the boho pendants and the colors are awesome. I liked the way you explained that we could use UV resin instead of what you have in that ball jar. I realize it's a problem I have is getting all the materials needed oh, and just when I think I have everything I could possibly need, up comes something else. I don't have the acrylic paints that you have that same to have a pearlessence to them. Can any type of acrylic paint work or is there anything else you could think of that would work in its place? The same goes for the patina paint. What is it exactly and is there anything that can be used in its place that we may have already from some of your other tutorials? Thank you. I enjoy your tutorials very much Alison.

[@karena.buckley1190]

So just a quick question...If you want the distressed look for these pieces...can't you just wipe away the paint when you put each color on like you do in other videos? Also...why use Vararathane instead of resin?

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

On these I was going for a patina look and these inks dry very quickly 😊 I chose the Varathane to keep the texture, the resin would have filled the recesses.

[@karena.buckley1190]

@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox Oh cool! Thanks!

[@julialewis8794]

Does the varathane come off when it gets wet

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

No, but you don’t want to leave it submerged in water. It’s water resistant. I suggest using several coats of Varathane, each coat adds more luster.

[@julialewis8794]

@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox I just wondered if it would be ok to wear it in the shower or while swimming

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

@@julialewis8794 I wouldn’t advise it.

I think you should of used Resin, instead of the Verathane. Resin makes the Colors stand out more.
