Resin Tray using Holographic window film, Micapowder and using Cricut Maker to cut film to fit tray.

[@roguered706]

I have already tried this so I knew the window film would work, but I had to watch till the end to see your reaction. Totally worth it! Both pieces turned out lovely.

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you, this is still one of my favourite creations 😃

Thanks for making a tray & experimenting with something unique & not a freakin coaster or sun catcher! I have bought loads of window transfer film & trying to collect every pattern. I’m in love with the whole halographic trend! Whoever figured out that it works & transfers, is a damn genius & I pay unlimited gratitude to them! I was curious about the same things & if u would remove the film or would it stay built in & then feared the air bubble problem too! U just set my little brain on fire with millions of ideas😊 Also I must say, I feel u on the whole cricket formatting confusion. I bought a Silhouette 4 & my daughter set it up for me but when I realized all the technical stuff u have to do in order to get it to cut out ur vinyl/ projects, I was completely terrified by it all. My daughter learned enough to print some t-shirts. I am also in need of someone walking me thru how to use the software step by step. Haven’t found any tutorial that explains it in a way my brain will download!

I am so happy that I have inspired you to use your holographic film. It absolutely works amazing on resin. The Cricut is a mind boggle for me still. I have not found a good tutorial yet myself, so please let me know if you do. I am happy to share when I have also 😊 Thank you

[@leannemitchem8865]

I know this video was from 2 years ago but I just found you today. That tray is so stunning. I am very new to resin and I have the same window cling. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I still have this tray and it looks as good as the day I made it. I can't believe it was 2 years ago 💜

[@ownsacat]

I like both those trays. Very nice

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much 😊

[@nancysepic]

GORGEOUS! One question. Which way did you lay the window cling down in the mold?

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I laid it with the holographic film facing up. This would allow it to transfer, when I poured the resin. Then peeled it off, when set.

[@lisacapers5853]

That is nice, l like the one with the film

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much 😊

[@janekimmick4923]

I love this! I have been wondering if the window film would work on resin and so happy I stumbled onto your video! You now have a new subscriber. 🙂

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much 😊, I will be returning to resin work in the future 😁 cant wait to start 😃

[@johnetdevine8797]

looks great... I have a few rolling trays with that plastic,, It can be re-used as well

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

This is my best pattern so far, love the effect. Thank you 😊 💓

[@here2craftwithjoh]

So excited!! I am waiting for some to arrive in the mail!!

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I love it, have fun with it and you get amazing results from it 😊

[@dittemor2]

Absolut stunning ❤

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you! Cheers!

Love these

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much 😊 x

[@GGG.793]

It always works on the docker color so much better although you can see it on the lighter color. I’ve never used the cricket machine to do this. I’ve just always carefully cut with very small shop scissors and I’ve never had a problem. I’m happy that come out for you.❤

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much. I have found it quicker just to cut around the mold. Haha

[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Love it so gorgeous Does the window film have a sticky back on it plz xx

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

No it doesn't but the material of the film stuck well enough to the mould. 😊

[@Becky_lou_smuling]

This is beautiful love the colours too ❤❤❤

Hi from a new subscriber! I love this window film and your trays turned out great. i especially like the one with the holographic effect.

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Thank you so much, do love the Holographic effect. Works so much better on Resin 💜

[@resinbydrew741]

@@smurphyart-love2create268 I haven't tried the holographic effect on Jesmonite yet, but I'd like to, just to compare them.

[@dianaschumaker4252]

Does the window film have an adhesive side, and does that side stick to the mold? Then after resin cures you remove it from the resin? I’m not sure if I missed something. This turned out absolutely amazing!

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Exactly that, the film kinda just stuck to the mold and with the weight of the resin when pouring, it did not move. Thank you, and apologies in the reply. I have only just seen them all.

[@shellyburke1501]

What side of window film do you stick to the mould to get best effect

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I place the film into the mold with the holographic side up. You want to ensure the holographic side touches the resin, as it will transfer to it. I hope this helps, 😀

[@FilomenaDapaz]

lm new to epoxy. how u clean your hands from epoxy and your tools ???

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Tools I use sticky tape once it has set. I should be wearing gloves. But if I do get it on my hands, hot soapy water has helped and I do use hand cream.

[@darlavris]

Rubbing Alcohol first, then soap and water, finish with a little hand cream. This works best. ❤

[@dianechrismas6055]

I have this tray how much resin did u mix up please

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

It has been a while since I have made this. I do tend to over make, and have smaller mould on standby to fill. There is a way to fill the mould with Water, then calculate what is required. Clare's crafty corner has a video on how this can be done ✅😆

[@texastyphun]

Is the effect lost if you add a clear layer to protect the holo effect? (Im assuming it would but i wanna be sure)

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

No I think it would stay. I still have this tray, and the effect is still as beautiful as the day I made it.

[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Did you add a clear layer once you pulled the film off x​@@smurphyart-love2create268

[@jutetwine4482]

I did this and it works too but I got bubbles impression. I took out the backing. What should I do to prevent bubbles? \

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I did press the film down onto the mold, and rubbed it to ensure it fit with no over lay. With a slight overlay, it could move you even lift. Although I did get a bubble or two in the piece x I think I shimmered it too hard lol 😆

[@AcrylicArtBySharon]

Did u adhere the film to your mold? I tried this and my resin seeped between the mold & film & encased the film. I'd love to get this to work for me. Help would be appreciated.

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I did not, the film when placed on my mould and kinda stuck itself. The Holographic side faces upwards, so the flatter side down. I pour onto the Holographic side. It making sure you are laying the film the right way up. What film are you using? As I have only used the one type so far. I hope you manage to perfect it 💜 Let me know how you get on , or have any other questions. Good luck Sharon x

[@resinbydrew741]

I'm not sure if you're using the same film as I've got but there is a backing layer on mine. Taking the backing layer off seems to give it an extra bit of sticky to cling to the mould. I've done it both ways, taking the backing layer off and leaving it on and it's not made too much difference but I was just thinking the extra bit of stickiness might help you if you've got the one with the backing layer attached.

[@mariannskears1733]

Ive tried this and the window film is really stuck to the resin. I can't pull it off.

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

Oh no. Did the resin cure over the lip of the film? I found it was hard to pull away on one of the edges that did this. I was happy with how this turned out. 🙂

[@mariannskears1733]

I tried it again with 2 part resin and it worked. Before I was using UV resin.

[@dawnsummers5736]

My mica did exactly same, it wouldnt totally mix.

[@smurphyart-love2create268]

I think it is how it reacts to resin. All my creations have done it.
