This Could Change Everything For Your Resin Projects

[@mr.e..]

To fix the issue of the tattoos with writing being backwards, just do it in reverse order. Pour the background first, put the tattoos on that, then pour the clear over the top.

I think your amazing 👏 😉 💖 I starting watching you like year ago but I can't do resin for money issues personal problems but I still love love to watch you and I'm gonna join ❤️ ♥️ 😊🎉🎉🎉 I love the tattoos ideas 💡 for the grandkids n kids ❤❤❤❤

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I really loved that notebook cover, didn't it come out well! You're my favourite resiner Steve. There are lots of resin heads in KZbin land, but none like you Steve. You show the whole process including errors and I really love that! You're the best! Have a fantastic day. God bless you and yours Steve.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

"Resin heads!* 😅😅😅 Love it!

[@westausbel3018]

@abraKvavra thank you for that, I’d had forgotten about that. Awesome 😎

[@cherachapin3826]

I was impressed because I was thinking even if the tattoo dod stay in the resin the side near the silicone would rub off once you removed it. But it didn't! Amazing

[@sonialoves444]

so often i’ll click on a video not paying attention to who posted it and be like “oh yeah this looks awesome” then almost every time i’m soon to realize it’s my dude Steve McDonald! GREAT videos! imo you’re the best in resin tutorials and you’re so informative and give it to us real, the good, bad and ugly. very helpful and fun to watch content, i learn a lot here. THANKS!!!

I do love how the book cover came out, even the "mistake" just gave it more character. With black & translucent tattoos like the tiger one, you could also try painting on top of areas of the tattoo after it's dry (with actual paint or mixing a bit of gloss medium/clear glue with pigments to make a paint, maybe some glow-in-the-dark powder/paint, or using colored UV resin if you don't want to wait long for dry times) before filling in the background resin color. That way you can customize it even more! Using temporary tattoos is actually pretty common among resin artists. I often see the people who cover tumblers with resin use them, especially the "full sleeve" tattoos since those are generally big enough to cover both sides of a tumbler with a consistent design that isn't identical (when cut approximately in half). Those kind of tattoos might also work well for your book covers so keep an eye out for them.

The return of the "decals on the fridge" of the 1960s ! I live it. Thank you very much.

[@BelDawson]

Tattoos are fab. My daughter will love trying this out. Love the tiger cover.

[@steveschulkin8335]

Steve I love the notebook. The gold only makes the lion more true to life. The Marvel coaster and sign, brilliant. Keep up the great creations.

[@bossgrandma3487]

OH MY GOSH!!! That book cover is exceptional. I am going to do that for my Grand daughters they both are writers in the making.

[@gwynquiros9462]

Wonderful video. You are such a crafting daredevil! I love it. Thank you for all of your videos.

[@amydavis4945]

I love using temp tattoos in resin. I've been doing that (and using nail art) for quite awhile now. Stickers too! BTW, the one you messed up and the tattoo stuck to the clear film.... you can still use that one. Just put it in the mold with the clear film on and pour your resin carefully to not trap air bubbles under the film.

[@ILive2Rescue]

I was wondering about that! Thanks for the advice. ❤

[@polymerclay7930]

Love this so much. Today is 5-03-23. I just joined you, and I'm happy I did.

Blessings from Brooklyn Ny Just love them all I was thinking about that before on my thumbler it came out beautiful thanks for sharing and continue with your creations

[@erinkimberly4926]

Agh! My secret is out! Lol. I had been saving some special (to me) temp tattoos in my jewelry box for the last 30 years and not wanting to use them because then they’d be gone. Then last year I started resin art and I thought 💡 Ding ding ding! I can embed them in resin and keep the pretty images forever! Of course I bought some other ones to practice with first, and now I’m obsessed! My favourite thing to do.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

That was extremely Awesome Steve Mcdonald

Wowzers!!!! Steve, you genius you!!!! What I really like about the tattoos is they have no background, as opposed to many stickers with white backgrounds!!!! I love the 3d effect with the Hulk coaster!!! So cool!!

Thank you. I have been using temp tattoos for a while with resin but have not tried to put them directly on the mold. Thank you again!!!

[@EnchantedEchoes7435]

The book cover is beautiful, love the idea. Thanks for your videos

[@holditch1]

You can also transfer them to clear transparency paper, then trim the paper down to just around the edges of the tattoo and sink it in resin. This gives you a little more control over placement, if you are making something very fiddly. If you do multiple resin layers, you can also give the piece more depth.

[@julieashton8877]

That's awesome! They turned out so well!!!

[@pattimilks461]

OMG ... I can"t believe you never did this before .... I have been using them forever ....dab i with a damp cloth don''t spray it .... prevents more bubbles and if there is a bubble smooth it carefully with a damp cloth ... just remember they are sticky so the will need a top coat if applied on the top of the resin .... these turned out great ❤️

[@cyn7869]

Great projects! Loved watching this one.👍❤️

This video is so tremendously helpful for me, I have a collection of temporary tattoos I've saved from various events and such over the years. They're a really unique souvenir when they have custom ones done for an event and they're small. I will use this technique to turn a lot of my stash into little resin magnets and pins so I can enjoy them permanently!
