thanks for how easy you made the directions. Love your pieces, it gave me the inspiration necessary for me to go ahead and try my hand at this fantastic form of art.

[@Zumbador]

Malicious and rude comments cannot drown the good - intentioned majority. You Madam, have done a superb job. Congratulations. Subscribed.

[@nettlessg3640]

Excellent! Really detailed and well explained. I absolutely love your closeups. Sometimes, in other tutors' videos it can be difficult to see what is happening. I'll give this a go! Thank you again. I'll be tuning in regularly from now on.

[@amorin329]

Nice pieces! One thing though, there is really no need to glue the glitter into the bottom of the bezel. You can just use a thin layer of resin for that. Mix a tiny bit of resin into lots of glitter, keeping each color separate, and add to your bezel with a popsicle stick or just slowly pour. They will blend at the edge where each color touches the next, but it looks pretty and natural. Then place your larger charms and fill up the bezel. This makes it so you don't need to wait for the glue to dry. Many glitters will stay sunk in the bottom, but some are very light and might float. It is helpful to know what your glitter will do by testing first. Also, as long as you don't overfill the bezel, the resin will come in any shape. Just slowly fill your piece until the resin is a bit higher than the edge, and the surface tension will keep it from running over. Check it every half an hour for the first couple of hours to make sure it isn't running over, and if it is, just remove a tiny bit, and wipe the edge where it ran with a q-tip that has a bit of alcohol on it. You can clean with alcohol until it is cured, and after, you can sand it off.

the clear glue is a MONEY saving idea, as resin is not cheap and glue is. So the glue idea is SPOT on to make your resin go farther!!

[@madelyncancel3806]

I'm so excited in making resin charms. It's my first time I'm watching all the video I can. TFS

[@azbellagirl]

So pretty!! I like the idea of adding the glitter with the clear glue for the back ground.

[@moogie3111]

I know this is an older video, but there were a couple of really great reminders in there, like always use white paint for the background. And foam!? I've been looking for a way to stabilize hair clasps, and now I found it! Thank you for quite a nice tutorial.

[@ravensjewelrydesigns2382]

I very much enjoyed the tutorial and have some ideas that this will come in very handy making. Have a wonderful day and love your site.

[@devyc900]

[@guapitatessa]

Wow Beautiful ! thank you for sharing to us.

[@rogerfleury4280]

hi just wanted to say beautiful pieces the hello kitty n fairy ring are my favorite thank you for posting this video jennifer

[@sisterkerry]

Bless you for not editing it out when you poured out the blue glitter a bit...enthusiastically lol. Lovely project as well.

[@kozymagic424]

Your pieces are really cute. I especially like the seashell ones. Some of the pieces look like they have bubbles in them. Because of the glitter, its not as noticeable, but you can easily banish them by running the flame of a stick lighter across the top of the wet resin.

[@saphyrestar1982]

That was a really great tut! I'm just starting to get into resin jewelry making and such. Haven't actually made any pieces yet as I always do my research first. And this was one great vid! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Sharricb]

Wonderful helpful tutorial Thank you so much!!

[@willowcreekclays5293]

Seriously ty. About time I watch a video where the person doesn't talk for 20min. Lol. U get right to it. An it's nice to watch someone k own how to create a beautiful item

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

[@sistahgold]

Love,love love your video!!!!!! Hahahahaha love the glitter spill it made my day!!!!

[@DangersGirl4Ev]

Omg I was looking for your channel! Lol thank god I found it

[@flamingoladydee3566]

very pretty charms! I took a class on this and they said to shake the piece so bubbles come to the top, then either blow them out with a straw or burn them off with a lighter.

[@1chelib]

Great job :) I loved your video.

[@norahernandez522]

Bellísimos. Muchas gracias.

[@holly6548]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing... It's inspiring.:)

[@myutoobvids]

@ 19:14 you state that round bezels will cause resin to dome. Actually, not all resins are doming resins. It has to do with surface tension and which formula you use. Any shape will dome as long as the correct resin is used. Some shapes like stars may take some careful nudging of the resin with a pointy tool to encourage the resin to flow into the points. But usually if the resin has been warmed properly in advance and is flowing nicely, it will work by itself. (warming also reduces bubbles) I think both Envirotex Lite and Easy Cast will both dome.

[@barbarafidler910]

I found some of these items at hobby lobby including the resin, The resin is a little expensive because you get more quantity.

[@itrulabrissett139]

Hi I love the rectangular piece with the seashells. I was wondering where I could buy bulk empty bezels at a good price? I tried a few others but they had no depth and all my embellishments protruded at the surface

[@kimberlydennison235]

I absolutely loved the ring ! Have been searching for that ring blank but haven't been able to find it. Could you tell me where you got it. Thanks

[@robin44]

Fascinating video. Please, could you tell me what type of camera are you using for the video? The zoom feature works very well for the close-up images. Thanks

[@DeMonyx]

Great tutorial. Could the resin be used with paper cut outs as well?

[@michelebooker3953]

Great job!

[@SamiiSonic]

I had no idea what this was until today. I never even heard of it. I was looking up ASMR videos and one popped up about this...OMG this is amazing ^-^

[@deborahbaker5795]

Great Really enjoyed

[@AmyzJunkJournals]

When do you add the pearls to the sea shell bezel? On Top of the Resin before it sets for 24 hours?And i also buy from Michaels what is the Cuff Bracelets made out of Which Metal? You done a wonderful job in this Video.Very informative and understandable.Easy to Follow.

[@lisathomason1344]

Great tutorial!

[@CheyChey959]

Just a thought, why not use plastic shot glasses or something small like that for the glue and glitter mix? So you don't waste any?

[@lisamarie9803]

love them...did you ever try using the clear glue to finish? Thanks for sharing. keep creating., huggers, Lisa

[@playhooky]

@DogWalkr search for "bezels" in the "crafts" catagory on ebay

[@PearlLoovee]

Awesome videos 👏🏽

[@babysaho9576]

What would you use to add on the pearls or rhinestones after the resin has dried? Do you stick them on with glue or a dollop of more resin?

[@sharonDnc]

Great Video!

[@shelleydyer]

Hi there. Very pretty. I'm just wondering why you don't use resin to mix with the glitters instead of glue? The only thing I could think of is because sometimes resin will spread into each other if it's very thin but if you wait for it to cure a bit before adding a glitter it probably would be fine. I love playing with glitter and seeing all the different colors work together

[@lady_lone_wolf840]

How do u give the ring a bigger dom? Like higher dom?

[@MarilynSouthmayd]

My favorite is the fairy ring also.

[@debbierachal8533]

Beautiful

[@amanasta1]

very stunning

[@nerdypeachmango]

What sort of resin would you recommend? i've never used it and am scouring youtube for techniques once i do get some... also, did you end up using all the resin you had made? what do you do with any extra? if the resin spills out of the pendants, is it easy to scrape away or sand off? Thanks :)

[@krazkttru4941]

Kool😁,can casting resin be used by itself?,..it hardens on its own right?

[@terrytidwell1337]

Like it very good work

[@marianela111]

Hi great project. What resin did you use. I have some Pebeo resin will that work.

[@NessysSanctuary]

total newbie here wht not put the glitter with the white paint?

[@tracyshyman3962]

Where is the best place to get charms from? I've tried searching, but they are often too big or have holes attached.

[@JediKnightIlona]

Keep up the good work btw. :)

[@rabekkasantiago8404]

please tell me what kind of resin and hardner do you use ?

[@patriciaswayze1259]

Have you tried making botanical pieces with resin? If so do you know if the flowers have to be put in silicon before embedding to preserve them or can you spray them with resin spray prior to placing in the resin. I don't know if the resin by itself is enough to keep the flowers looking fresh after a few months. I have been pressing them in my microwave but I would like to keep some whole for a three-dimensional effect, but just don't know if they have to be preserved before hand?

[@patriciavidal2701]

Yes, they need to be fully dry, and a container of silicone can be used to keep them whole in shape.

[@kirstenfulllove]

Amazing tutorial! I'm new into resin and this was very helpfull. But I have one question you made that beautiful fairy ring but how did you stopped the resin from pouring over the medal charm? I also want to make rings like that but how do I keep the resin from pouring over?

[@moogie3111]

She didn't stop it, she poured the resin right over the charm for all of them.

[@amorin329]

Casting resin will automatically dome over any shaped piece as long as you put enough in your bezel. Just make sure that you don't add too much.

[@nikitachuga2781]

Can you please name the website from where did you purchase resin or tell the name of good quality resin or attach a link to your video?

[@ioy6891]

Cute! Could you tel what kind of Resin you use?

[@MustaffaCuppa]

I loved the end result. Very pretty. What is the actual name of the little metal containers you used please?

[@TechSupport100]

Those are usually called bezels, but some people refer to them as frames.

[@carmenrrodriguez8763]

Cuál es la resina que se debe usar? Alguien me ayuda? Gracias.

[@olgacolonforeversky]

Woww I love this idea

[@libertynetoile2205]

thank you

[@TechSupport100]

You don't want to use a spoon or a round dowel-type stick for stirring resin. Use something flat like a popsicle stick - preferably one with the rounded end cut off square. This type of stir stick lets you scrape the sides of the cup and get down into the corner at the bottom of the cup, and a flat surface gives a better mixing action for the resin. Mix slowly, gently and patiently for sufficient time (resin is NOT like cream and coffee - the two parts wil not combine "automatically", and will remain separate if not actually mixed physically throughout the whole solution) - and gently to minimize bubbles, and pour directly from the mixing cup into one place, letting the resin flow across the piece itself. Also, be sure the piece is on a level surface, of course. I actually use a level to make sure of this, using playing cards as shims under whatever is supporting the piece to achieve the level state.

[@zlaria7_time72]

I think she used glue instead of resin because it gave her time to design the glitter. Would she have the same time if she used resin as you suggest?

[@daylightliving8929]

super great!!!

[@paulaha1024]

Does anyone know if you can stir resin in styrofoam cups??

[@Ronisstyles]

Where did you buy your glitter

[@scoutscope12]

Can you make some more for your Etsy shop please. I really want to buy some from you.

[@chaelafernandez2841]

Hi, I'm in England and just started to make some jewellery etc with resin, but I'm finding tbe charms go black in the resin, is it my resin or is there anything I can do to stop this , thanks Loved the video x

[@sujimtangerines]

It could be the type of resin you're using - the first time I tried some it basically burned my insert. (It's been forever and I can't remember the name of it though.)

[@nerdypeachmango]

This was fun to watch =)

[@nezzysnicatees]

You are so good at this. They look awesome

[@azarelrenee1303]

I love the ring

[@sharonDnc]

I dont understand painting the bezel if you're putting a thick layer of glitter.

[@FairyFashionArt]

very pretty

[@ssam2628]

So cool! Thank u :)

[@adrianaperez2717]

where did you buy the hello kitty charms

[@rozelliamatthews8598]

Where did u purchase the embellishments.

[@fidindingnemolovee]

does anyone know if i could just dip a charm in clear resin to keep the finish from coming off?

[@agirlhasnoname1422]

Yes u can, but it would b easier, to just paint the resin on, carefully. It would b less messy. Just do a thin coat, of semi hardened resin 💖

[@jessiedunn6436]

Jessie DunnThanks !!!

[@Crazyaboutcrafts589]

do you know a good store on esty that sells the charms? thanks :-)

[@elenacoman2155]

thanks !!!

[@MelanieJustice82]

the fairy ring is absolutely beautiful.Just wondering where did you get the hello kitty charms and the fairy charm from because I want to start making my own jewelry and I would love to make a couple of these for my daughter and niece.They both love hello kitty and would make great birthday presents for them :-) I love her too but I love the fairy charms more :-)

[@ravensjewelrydesigns2382]

Melanie Justice try etsy

[@MelanieJustice82]

Pam Hemphill oh ok cool,ty for the reply back,have a great day

[@sujimtangerines]

I got a bag of the Hello Kitty charms for practically nothing on eBay. Just have to bend the loop off like she suggested. Never knew what to do with the majority of them after I made my friend some earrings... Love the inspiration here.

[@toastytoes5995]

.umm well first you don't wanna use a papers sticker because it'll end up looking like a wet piece of paper and turn gray. So you wanna like prep the sticker or don't use a paper sticker

[@PlsCilla]

i like the yellow hello kitty charm :D

[@r3v3rs3tWiLiT3]

Can you please tell me where you got the fairy charm?

[@sujimtangerines]

Whole bag of them was just 99 cents on eBay last year.

[@watanepipkins3484]

Can I have one

[@corimiller20]

Im also new to resin. Do u happen to know of anything that will let me print names on paper that i cant print out an put into a metal charm?

[@shamarhenderson7211]

You can go on Google docs and type the name make the size small choose the font then varnish the paper
