Those are beautiful. Falisha did a set and one of hers was dull too but she wasn’t sure why. She did hers in 3 layers. You can do so much with these moulds.

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you, these molds are so much fun. I can't wait to make some more soon 🤗 I saw Falisha did some too hers turned out fantastic. I missed the part where they turned out matte. Only the one I poured in 1 layer had some matte spots because it was poured too deep. It got to hot in the mold.

[@mookzmom]

Gorgeous stuff! Julie Cutts from Pouring Your Heart Out has been experimenting with holo cellophane lately too. You have fantastic tips in your videos, which I love. I'm sorry your mold got ruined, but they are fabulous. I had thought I'd give these a pass, as I'm not really into crystals, but yours are so lovely, now I want them! I just was forced into slightly early retirement, however, so I'll be on a small fixed income. I'm putting this on my wish list anyway. Turns I UT, I'm loving my free time, and I'm working on fixing up my house to make space for one, or maybe TWO craft rooms!❤️

[@naptimecreations]

2 craft rooms 😍 that sounds amazing how cool. Retirment is great, now you have time to relax and do the things you enjoy. It's so funny you said that because when I saw these molds I was going to pass on them but I got the idea to try this technique with them and I'm so glad I decided to try them out. I think you will really love these molds. They're so pretty In person. The way the crystal is cut it throws some pretty rainbow reflections if sunlight hits them. You know I used to watch Julie all the time and Im just now realizing I haven't seen her notifications of new videos on my KZbin lately. I'm going to have to check and make sure I'm still subscribed with the bell on. I love her accent and seeing the pretty art she makes and the birds in her yard. They're amazing. Thanks for watching 💟🤗💟

[@Theresa914]

Oh wow, that is amazing, i love the colors you did on these. You are much more experienced than I am but I use Dawn and water in a spray bottle to demold instead of alcohol. Works much better, I hope you try. I am going to get some of these molds. Thanks so much for showing us the cellophane in resin. Gorgeous

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much Theresa 🤗💙 I will definitely try the soap and water next. I was just worried about washing the soapy water out of the mold. I'll give it a try though, I know Alcohol can damage and break down the molds so it's better to use soap and water. Thank you 💙🤗

Better to use soapy water to loosen the cast...alcohol is great for bubbles but I try to limit it because it is hard on silicone molds after time. I found celo shreds at Dollar Tree...long shreds like Easter basket type that I snipped smaller. For rolls I use my paper shredder to cut my celo 👍

Those are so pretty!! 😍 I think it is worth top coating to salvage the one tower! 💙

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you 🤗💙 you think a top coat will take the stickiness away? I've never had a project turn out sticky before so I was scared to waste any resin trying to top coat it.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@naptimecreations It is worth a shot. If it doesn't come out like you like, you would only be out a little bit of resin considering the amount you already put in. I would lightly sand first? You are very welcome! 🤗😍

I really love these towers Tish. It’s a shame that the second one was a fail -(although it really didn’t look like one) that one was also very pretty.

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you 💙🤗 I'm going to try to top coat the fail and see how it turns out. I should have poured it in layers. I thought 1 big pour would be Ok but it wasn't. The matte spots were slightly sticky. Hopefully a top coat will do the trick. 💙 thanks for watching 🤗

Oh my goodness, you are right, the mylar is so cool in there. I am so going to do this. I still have not used mine. I love these. A coat of resin will fix that stickiness and cloudiness up. Don’t throw that in the trash LOL Super super cool project👍 I’ve never pushed that resin over 3 inches. How tall were they again.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks Sherri, definitely make some they're so cool in person. I will try to top coat that sticky one. I have never had that happen before I didn't know if a top coat would fix it or not 😅 they range in size from 5.5 - 6 inches tall. They take 7-10oz depending on the size. 🤗💙

[@troybower9419]

I love it....do you know of a mold that is a half circle? Basically looking for this same tower but flat on the back side. I know i could probably cut it in half length wise but then i would have a cloudy and imperfect finish on the cut side that would be seen from the rounded front side.

[@christines2451]

Turned out so pretty. If you were to try top coat, how would you do that? I have a sphere I had to sand down but I havent coated it because I am not sure how to do so lol.

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you so much Christine 🤗💙 I can't wait to make some more like this with white iridescent cellophane. I think that would be so pretty too. To top coat the sticky one, I was thinking I would sand it down a bit. Tape the bottom and raise it up off my table on a small cup. Then apply resin with my gloved finger all over the entire piece. I am going to try it soon. For the sphere it would be more tricky since it's not flat anywhere. Have you ever tried clear spray paint ? It works really well and you can build it up over several coats to make it as glossy as you want. You could try it on your sphere. I like the rustoleum brand gloss clear spray paint. It works so well. I would have used it on this piece but the sticky part makes me worried so I want to top coat it instead. But if it was only matte and not sticky I would use the rustoleum. It's so much easier than resin top coats 🤗💙

[@christines2451]

@@naptimecreations oh really. Even after I sanded it, the rustoleum will bring back the shine like resin? Thanks

[@naptimecreations]

@@christines2451 It should. I've used it on super matte pieces before and it's made them shiny again. But if there's a lot of texture from the sanding a resin top coat might be best.

[@haleymott697]

@@naptimecreations I’m super clueless but want to start doing these, I’ve been watching a lot of your videos for inspiration. Would you be able to make another video of the specific resin to use for these crystal towers, explain the gel stage and how to avoid lines?

[@haleymott697]

@@naptimecreations or if I use the same resin you used in this video, and do the same thing of 2 inch pours. How long after a pour is it in gel stage and ready for the next pour? 24 hours? I’m so clueless 🤣

[@naptimecreations]

@@haleymott697 on these I used the floral epoxy from the epoxy resin store its a 3 to 1 ratio epoxy. If you use that same resin and wait 24 hours between pours you won't have the lines. It sets up slower than other brands and isn't full hardened until 48 hours after you pour. So doing the layers 20-24 hours after the previous layer you will avoid the lines of demarcation. The resin I used today was floral epoxy from the epoxy resin store. It's a deep casting 3 to 1 ratio epoxy. It is a very thin viscosity and great for projects like this. It also has a long extended working time.
