DIY Resin Straw Toppers Tutorial

[@heididang9565]

Those are so pretty!! My favorite one is the silver paw print or the yellow sunflower!

[@eastcoastwestcoast4216]

They’re all so nice, I really like the glittery ones.

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Thanks! Me too, the glitter one makes it fun to have on a cup.

[@ViryUniqueMomentos]

Thank you so much for this easy tutorial. I had no clue I had no glue my two pieces together lol.

[@Ryuhoshi7]

So pretty! The sunflower is super cute XD

[@reginakruizenga8594]

I only bought 1 because I wasn't sure how to do. Now I am logging in to buy a ton more! Thank you!

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Glad I could help!

[@marciasolares6732]

Love the flowers

[@foxbeastking8565]

They are beautiful

[@christinaatkins2423]

The slipping was what I was telling you about on Instagram. Gets a little tricky. You did great!

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Yes! You were so right! Thanks for telling me or my fingers would be superglued together right now!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Let's Resin is my FAVORITE resin as well as UV Resin and all of their products… I use their resin exclusively…. And their alcohol inks and pigments are some of the best there is and their glitters and mica powders are wonderful too…. I sound like I’m doing an infomercial lol….

[@PearlsAndFloral31]

Those glitters are stunning!

[@leaalvarez9804]

I just ordered this kit!!!! I can't wait to make these

[@aliciat2216]

How did yours turn out? I haven’t had any luck with these. I make them using the 4 pieces-each side and 2 middle pieces that go between the outside pieces to make the center hole for the straw.

[@heatherlewis6891]

LOVE these! What is that "pen" you used to do the fine detail on the paw, ball and peace sign?

[@theycallmechar3341]

Really cute!! U did an awesome job!!

[@KayKayLette]

Love then I need this mold

[@heidisfun]

Do you seal with more epoxy after you paint? I think the paint would come off if it were to get wet?

[@sashadmonjaras5826]

where did you get your straw topper mold at

[@juliahall2085]

my favourite is the heart

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

That one is one of my favorites too!

[@joanmeredith6563]

Do you have a link to the paint pens you used at the end?

[@jenniferdalton6006]

This was really helpful thank you!

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

I'm so glad!

[@nessamargaret]

Could you do the lines in the mold different than the glitter color for contrast rather than white paint and paint marker?

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Yes you can do it however you like it!

[@srrfounder1]

The crown is my favourite but I wish it had glitter added!! 😝

[@Corgicakes28]

Could you use UV resin? Sorry for the silly question, I'm new at this!

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Since this mold is not very translucent, I don't think UV resin would work well since the UV needs to get through the mold to cure the resin from the bottom.

[@nancyfarias5098]

How do you let the resin cure ? Do you just leave it alone or put it in a uv light ?

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Normal resin you just wait 24 hours. UV resin requires a UV light for 2-3 minutes.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

The baseball should have been done in red/white…. These were all so cute! I have made my own with shaker molds… I just use a half sphere mold to make the straw hole… :)

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Great tip!

[@marciasolares6732]

What glue do you use for the toppers

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Craft glue like E6000 works

[@dollybrown1993]

Are they food safe? If so which glitters and micas did you use?

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Since this sits outside the cup and below the sipping area of a straw, it shouldn’t touch the drink or the person sipping.

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

I’ve listed the supplies in the description.

[@aliciat2216]

Mine don’t look as good! 😩🤔

[@lisac7151]

Just beautiful! Would these molds be able to be used with pens as well?

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

I think it would with a regular sized pen. You’ll have to use a stopper since it would just fall to the bottom.

[@lisac7151]

@@PoppyDIYCrafts Thank you!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

You could make pencil toppers out of them as well… I will take some uv resin and make a "plug" at the top of them and then when you put them on the your pencil or pen, they done slide all the way done like on a straw… :)

[@lisac7151]

@@ZippedUpKitz Great idea!

[@SIMPLY_GJ]

awww these are adorable i like how you make thing so pretty im going to try it out 😍😍😄😄😄😄

[@mariacastano4772]

❤❤❤❤

[@shaniahwence4647]

What's the measurements of the resin ?

[@latashawilliams3568]

Thank you so so much I have the same exact olds and I was so confused and now im not thank u

[@10tailedgamer]

I want to watch the presses but I also want to see the finished product but as I’m typing you (she) already popped them out

[@bobbysmith8095]

I perfer the detail one cuz it just look so pretty. Also: me who own 100 plus glitter and see new pretty glitter: You don't need it, you don't need it (cry inside cuz I still want it)

[@PoppyDIYCrafts]

Hahaha, I totally can relate. I don't use glitter that much, but I have so much! The Let's Resin ones are nice because they come in nice little jars instead of baggies. I make such a mess with baggies.

[@bobbysmith8095]

@@PoppyDIYCrafts I hate bags so much but the thought of finding time to put them into 100 plus container sound even worst lol Their all different size and to sort and figure how many different size jar to order then organize is so much work.

[@Kelloggsmokesalot]

Thank you! It was such an informative video.
