That is super rad! I was wondering how you could go about making a resin pendant.
OMG DAT S IS SO FREAKING AWSOME COOL IDES
Help me Threadbanger Gods!
I tried to do this project at home
and it blew up in my face literally,
well just smoke came out, but still.
Can you please tell be where I went wrong... =(
I did it. the first try sucked because i made them too thick. 2nd try was successful for the most part. i got a couple with bubbles and a little crooked. but that can be perfected.the resin dried perfectly though. they came out cute and i got lots of compliments and requests from me to make them for friends.
first off, DONT EYE THE CATALYST MEASUREMENTS! if you dont get the measurements just right, the resin will crack! maybe it works for Jennifer Perkins cuz shes a pro and has been doing it long. but a beginner shouldnt chance it.
second, DONT USE THE KIND OF RESIN SHE USED! its VERY TOXIC and strong smelling!!! use Easycast epoxy. the smell is very mild. its toxic too but not as bad. just open up windows and turn on a fan to get air circulating. it comes with the catalyst and resin in a bundle and its easier to measure. its half and half. if u do 1 cup of resin, you do 1 cup of epoxy.
try again with those and see how it comes out
you didnt tell how long to leave the first coat of resin for it to congeal. i can tell its the same day but is it minutes? hours? what? how would i know when to put the pics in?
What about how to make the ring? :o(
I wonder if you could ad a jumper ring or something on the back while the resin is drying to create a button or something. I don't have a Dremel, so Im brainstorming other ways of attachment methods.. Hmmmmm.....
thats a good question
Yeah, you can put button backs or ring backs or whatever it is you want. You might want to do it in layers though - it could sink while it's hardening. Make the cubes and let them sit for 24 hours. Then add a thin layer and put whatever kind of back you want to use. Just make sure that the layer of resin comes up around whatever you're sticking to it to give it more stability.
UNREAL....so nice and an easy pace to follow. Love that South Austin action.
goodness gracious! THAT IS SO GORGEOUS!
is there anywhere i can find the written instructions for the bracelette, and the materials?
omg-
Wear a respirator mask and goggles if you're going to do this.
"What's a few brain cells?"
good grief!
cute!!! i love this idea! bit exspensive though
Hey, this is great I'm totally gonna try it sometime, I was just wondering can you hand sand it or do you have to use that sander thing, i have a drill and all but no electric sander, just wondering, thanks again!
what is the second thing that she uses?
resin and...=?
I am from germany and I don't speek pretty good english so please, what is the second thing??
because I LOOOOVE these bracelets, they are so awesome!
just get the Easy Cast kit, it comes with the resin and the catalyst (i believe its called) which is a hardener. The easy cast comes with both.
omgosh. lol. i was just looking this
up on youtube like a week ago!
i am someday gonna try this! but if
you dont feel like doing it but like the result snew at etsy has great cute

I love it! Totally going to try and make my own :)
what is the song when shes in the first craft store? it RULES!
Can you use candy molds for like those chocolate lolipop things or novletly ice cube trays?
awesome tut!!
ive tryed resin casting before, but i used magazine images, and they turned out all dark. can u not use magazine images because they are too thin? maybe bc i didnt layer the resin?
yeah, she said to use photo paper, because regular paper smears in the resin.
:D
oh darn!
i can hear all your other videos except this one.
what's the deal?
i hope it's not me computer :(
Thank you! I've been wanting to do something with resin, but I wasn't sure how- the one book I'd seen it in wasn't very helpful about the details. Yay!
I love this project! I just dunno if I can find resin here...
i was about to brag about the pretty gray sweater thing you were wearing but I see I am not the only one that noticed! :)
