Using CANDY WRAPPERS to make GORGEOUS Stained Glass Resin Coasters!😍💖 Easy Step-by-step Tutorial

[@rosanneducharme5486]

Ohh! This is so beautiful! What a fantastic idea! Love the candy wrappers crunched because it gives it more texture and the leaf looks real. Definitely giving this a try! Will show you coasters I made from your videos when I learn how to use a hashtag. 😀❤️👍🏼❤️❤️

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰thank you! So glad you like them! Looking forward to seeing your creations

[@pdmullgirl]

We we q a qqq IMO

[@mokihaname]

@@pdmullgirl sorry I don't understand???

[@olgakapelanczyk7572]

So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@susanvasquez3625]

You could use a whole sheet of that plasticy stuff, either clear or the multicolor shimmer stuff, after pouring the base resin. Then draw your outline with a 3d medium. Next, pour each section with colored resin. Then the whole thing would have that crinkled texture, without having to cut out fiddly bits. This looks incredibly beautiful!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

You're welcome to try that out! 😊 I really enjoyed the creative process of this piece and the technique I used. Also, I have a few other stained glass techniques I use in my pieces... this was just a fun one for Christmas time .

[@lindahalfpenny3258]

As a child in school we used to use these wrappers to make stained glass items in art class, we didn't use resin though. Quality Street is British, mostly bought at Christmas 😃😃

[@pearsrtasty3326]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Those petal leaves look like veins!!!!! THOSE ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!! When I am able to have my own space back again this is on my list to do! LOVE THIS! Awesome job! Great walk-thru!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🤩🥰💖🎉thank you! I'm so glad my art has inspired you!

[@christines2451]

These turned out so amazing I would even drill a hole In the top and use them hanging in my window. They are beautiful.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰💖thank you!

[@mookzmom]

Very nice work! It's really nice that cellophane is available in so many colors already, but you have found a way to repurpose in such a beautiful way. And I truly appreciate hearing the how-tos on the lovely creations you share here. I bought some coloring books to use in a similar manner, since I can't draw well. They even have coloring books with stained glass patterns in them. I'm newly retired, so I'm looking forward to any happy hours ahead watching you work and learning. Wishing you a very happy new year ahead!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰❤🧡thank you so much Pam. I hope you enjoy the process and what you are able to create💕

[@sandyblack2395]

This brings back memories of what I used to do for my kids when they were small. I did the nursery rhymes with the wrappers.

[@ssue4q]

They are so gorgeous. And you're right the candy wrappers really do look like stained glass and so does the glitter part absolutely stunning thanks for sharing

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

💕💖thank you, so glad you liked it

[@jennieball-foster6703]

Definitely British. You can see the royal emblem on the lid showing Queenie loves them. Great idea and looks stunning. Love and hugs from England xx

[@Teeniebfable]

I'm impressed at them still being in a metal tin instead of the plastic ones we get here

[@jennieball-foster6703]

We actually have two sizes. The larger is metal while the standard is plastic. Fortunately the contents are delicious regardless 😋

[@susanvasquez3625]

Doing exact edges is actually quite simple, if you think outside the box... or in this case, outside the mold. Just pop the base layer out of the mold, trim your pieces to fit around your image and glue them down. Then use a razor or exacto knife to trim it around the edges of your piece. Pop it back into the mold and continue.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I'm not sure if you've ever tried to remove a resin coaster from the mold then put it back in to pour on top of it... but in my experience, it breaks the seal around the coaster in the mold, so resin will leak down the sides and under the coaster, creating an uneven (and unattractive) bottom. Maybe you've had better luck than me with it, but I wouldn't recommend it based on my experiences. Once it's out of the mold, I would recommend doming the piece at most, but with a design like this you'll need a couple layers to cover the design fully.

[@Sulzie65]

They are super cool! Very beautiful! I need to find those candies. I would like to see a full stained glass effect using these wrappers.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰🤩thank you Janet! I have something brewing...😁

[@nikolabailey1837]

I loved your video what a great idea using the sweet wrappers, I told my husband to eat the choc's from Christmas and save me the wrappers. I am new to resin crafts and watching your video which was easy to follow each stage. Thank you, you have such a talent xx

[@sarahnunns8263]

On wow! These are so pretty. Bless you.

[@ViKee010]

I love the idea of doing stained glass in epoxy. Honestly I hadn’t thought of doing that. But I’m really curious what they looked like from the back? I’m wondering if the ‘lead’ area would look right from that perspective? Perhaps if I trying putting a double layer of ‘lead’, one first and let dry and then the color then another ‘lead’ area? Anyhow thanks for the inspiration and if I try that, I’ll be certain to add it to your instagram story. Beautiful work!! 🤟🏼🤍

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

For the technique I use, the lead on the back looks flat (because it's paint sitting on a surface, plus you can see that the paper was layered on first) ... feel free to experiment ! 🥰

[@ilsabailey8195]

WOW they are very beautiful. I would love to have seen the backs. I saw a little glimpse but I would have loved to have gotten a better look. I've been called odd because I tend to like the flip side of things.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

💖🥰thank you... there are a few people who have asked to see the backs... I'm going to have to remember to show the backs more in future

[@barbaracabrera207]

These are very pretty. Great idea to use candy wrappers. Thx for video. Austin,TX USA

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

💖so glad you liked it

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

if you don’t have or want to use chocolate wrappers, this is only cellophane which can be obtained at any store that sells gift wrapping paper. Sold in sheets …and it is not wrinkled.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Yes..I have included a link in the description of my post for just the wrappers.

[@funo6581]

They turned out beautiful! I’ve commented on one of your previous videos on how realistic your stained glass pieces look. I’ve learned so much from your tutorials and I want to return the favor and teach you a little about stained glass, I’m a retired stained glass artisan. When you cut glass you never want to cut a 90 degree angle or a V shape into the glass, because that area will crack or break at some point. You did great on all of your break lines except a couple on the bottom where your stem is. Honestly no one would notice this.. except a stained glass artisan. :) I love how innovative you are! Thanks for sharing another beautiful design!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰💖thank you Funo for your kind comments and for explaining that to me😊 I've never tried real stained glass, so I had no idea, but it's so fascinating and beautiful💕!

[@brendanaderifar2462]

Totally beautiful.

[@marivlach1775]

These are so pretty. I can’t wait to try this technique in a project. Thank you for sharing!

[@lpcookie1]

Before I even knew which candies u were going to use, my first thought was Quality Street.😄🍬

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

😁😅🥰they are so pretty!

[@Moat1a]

Easy way to trace the paper in misshaped molds: Place and seal papee to bottom and lightly trace the shape with a pen. I'm pretty good at i, so, I can cut it with the tip of my straight blade or embroidery scissors. That should make it easier.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

That's great! Yes I can manage to do it myself pretty easily as well... but in my tutorials I try to keep things simple for those who may not find it as easy 😊... sometimes we take it for granted that we can do something easily when others cannot.

[@karenlulay]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I usually let the customer decide on whether or not to edge these pieces as the clear edges on the stained glass looks really nice too... comes down to preference for this style.

It's British I believe, this idea is amazingly creative and I've got a full tin so can try this out once they've been eaten I love your work just put in a big order at the washitape shop thanks to your recommendation as they really do have the most stunning range

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰🤩that's amazing! I hope you got a discount with my code! Can't wait to see what you create!💕

[@mokihaname]

I love it! it's gorgeous kind of makes you wonder if you should put a hole in it and hang it or somehow find a way to hang it up in the window I wouldn't be able to use it as coasters too pretty come to think of it forget putting a hole in it!

OMyGosh! Just saw the title, haven't watched yet. For years I've saved different candy wrappers knowing there was SOMETHING worthy of them... and eventually tossing! After watching: Ah, I'm talking opaque wrappers .. (tootsie roll, Baci etc) but you give me ideas! Thx. Alysen

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🤩🥰 hehe... I'm like that too! Not with candy wrappers... but I can see why you would, confection packaging is beautiful!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I plan to try the foil wrappers in a future project😊... I would definitely advise you test the waxy wrappers in some resin before you do a larger project... it may cause some strange reactions to your resin (ex. amine blush).... can't say for sure, but I would want to test it just in case

[@alcg3981]

@@LiaDiaDesigns oh, definitely, I'm just a resin novice so small prototypes are a necessity! Thx for the advice 🙂.

[@monicagrocuantmonasterio7736]

Wow! What a great idea! I love all your work, even your fails, because that is how we learn 😊

[@elainemarsh2656]

Ah Quality Street sweets, I always feel wasteful throwing these pretty wrappers away, they are such lovely colours. Nice idea you have shown and much more user friendly than real stain glass ( I have a drawer full of off-cuts of glass etc., from that past hobby!). These coasters are ideal for summer patio drinks and practical for kids and adults as they are realitively unbreakable for outside.👍

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Yes! The wrappers worked perfectly and they are much more durable than glass💖

I love your channel and have been so inspired since I first found you. Excited about this because I love stained glass (and the gold wrappers turned out gorgeous too). Do you have a video with the doming? I love the way it finishes everything off but I’ve only seen the after picture (versus seeing it actually poured).

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

💖😊thank you! So glad you enjoy my videos! I usually try to link other tutorials within the video or at the end that may be helpful (if I didn't get to cover it during the current video ...
