Your rainbows are beautiful and I learned so much- thank you!
Thank you!! Your video was extremely helpful. I’m a beginner with this resin stuff and so far I’m really enjoying it, but haven’t gotten very experimental with it yet. Anyways, thanks again for your video, I’ve subscribed so can’t wait to watch more.
Those came out so beautiful!
Great work! I'm looking for how to do this in a 3d type mold. Specifically a lotus flower tea candle holder. I've seen finished products but no tips on how its done! Thank you for sharing your info!
I got a North Carolina mold after watching you. Now I don't have to hate having left over epoxy. They have all turned out nice.
Yay! I love using it for something useful (and something you can sell!) instead of wasting it.
Thank you for putting the link for your stir sticks in your links.
This is such good information. Thank you so much. Next time I do a 2 color keychain letter, i will now how to stop the colors from running together.
Really beautiful bits. Just given me a few ideas 🥰
Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors and idea of making them into keychains...Thanks for the video...Btw, I'm only into my 6th month of making tumblers and working w/epoxy...YOUR videos are so enjoyable to watch, feel like I'm listening to a longtime friend. Blessings to you! ☝️❤😀
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Clyde Kade instablaster =)
Hi again I must say you are a genius at this. Can't wait to get started and see more of your teachings. Lisa
Why have I never thought about doing this?!
I just love your videos, and I don’t even have the desire to make tumblers or work with epoxy 😂😂 I just wanna order a cup from you.
Awww! Thanks! I do make and sell them. I’m running kind of a longer turn around right now because mask making has taken over my life lately.
@@ThePurpleStitch I understand completely - I'm in a similar spot myself. Do you have an Etsy shop?
I love glitter and colors never used the chunky one. I'm a newbie 😌 and I want to learn from you if you have videos for beginners . They are beautiful wow just blown away. Pls list where to get the glitters and molds pls. Thanks 😊 Lisa
Thank you! This was most educational.
I love the work ... I was wondering how long do you wait before adding the next color without it blending I keep trying but it always blends together thank you for the videos helps so much
Just long enough for the previous layer to not move. Timing will depend on the epoxy and working conditions. I’d say majority of my regular epoxies probably set up pretty good at about 30 minutes.
I’m thinking Christmas ornaments! Small enough for a decorative tree, big enough for a regular tree. The lights on them would be amazing!
Thank you so much!! 🥲
Absolutely beautiful 🌷
Just found you last week, I was thinking to myself I wish she would show how to do multiple colors and boom there you are! I love all of your videos!
Awww! Thanks! I’m working on the final steps of these same colors as a geode tumbler. I’m hoping to upload it today!
Wow, awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing! You're an amazing resin artist! One love to all!!
Thank you!! I'm doing a donation for our pride fest in my town, so this definitely helps! I plan on doing a Domino set and some Keychains! !
Thank you for making this video, im trying to make some colored bookmarks and my colors always seep into each other. Do you mix a fresh batch of resin for each color? So like while you wait for ine color to harden a tad youre mixing a new 10ml of resin ?
Gorgeous!!! Thank you for the video!!!
Hello Lovely, I soo Love your Rainbow Resins. I am a total beginner with using resin, and have a Sun & Sea Craft Box project I am preparing my silicone molds to use for DAS Clay and Resin. Which paint can I mix in with the resin and roughly how much? I have a family of Seahorses, Turtles, Starfishes, Seagrass, Seaweed, Seashells, Dolphins silicone molds. Unless, I set clear resin seascape, then paint with white gesso when dry and paint with mica metalic colours?? Have you any tips for beginners please that would be so muchly appreciated blessings & thank you xxxx
Really like those
Excellent tutorial! Do you let the resin thicken up a little or are you putting enough glitter to make it thick? Thanks
For this go around it was thickens by the glitter. You could let it sit a bit and work with a thicker epoxy.
Hi ☺️ where do you get your molds.. love the Texas and ornament mold..
I'm new to this I bought alot of stuff wanting to try it out.
I get my molds from several places. Mostly from AliExpress.com and fransglitterandmore.com
I love this, but I am really looking forward to this rainbow geode.
I’ll be uploading that video today or tomorrow! It’s almost finished. I love how it turned out!
So EXCITED! This must be so cathartic for you. I love the realness in your creations. I know I have said that before. The more polished to shine videos are nice. They are. But it is so amazing to have people that converse friendly "today's events in my life" versus just the professional do this do that. It creates a sense of virtual connection with us as humans who make our own whoopsies, our "oh, well that's not doing what I thought," and "hey, guess what I did today!" In these weird days of quarantine and COVID-19, it's comforting.
How long do you put between you put each color in? A couple of hours between each color?
I love love love your video. Is there a way to make the holes after the epoxy cures if your mold doesn't have the hole like your molds?
Yes use a Dremel to ol and a drill bit tiny tiny drill bit and you can make your own keychain holes
I love these. Are you giving them a hour/two between each color?
Pretty much. It just needs long enough to set up, but not so long that the layers won’t adhere together.
@@ThePurpleStitch ty so much for the video and for answering questions. I've seen videos where people are like any questions comment below with unanswered questions over a year. 😩 Appreciate you taking the time❣
@@ThePurpleStitch How long is too long for the layers to adhere, in your experience? I know there are differences between brands, just looking for a rough estimate. Thanks for a great video!
Love your videos, you got me hooked lol, can I ask how look do you let them set up before you take them out?
☺️ thank you!!
I’ve taken them out too soon before. So as soon as they are mostly rigid feeling I’m ok demolding and curing elsewhere so I can use it again.
Thank you! This helped so much!
I sit on my foot too 😂😂 glad someone else does. -- tho it is bad haha
Also this video helped me a lot!! Ty. :)
In case you see this, does uv resin act the same way when adding these layers?
I haven’t tried with uv resin yet, so I don’t have an answer for you, sorry!!
BEAUTIFUL!!
Have you tried this with UV resin?
Thanks for the video. I'll have to try this. I N-E-E-D some of that Vegas glitter, but the Simple Beginnings store seems to be closed. WHAT CAN I DO???
Oh no!!! I haven’t looked in a while apparently! www.FransGlitterAndMore.com has one called New Year’s Eve. No stars, but has little diamond shaped pieces. The other site I found one with tinsel doesn’t work anymore either. 😩
@@ThePurpleStitch Thanks! I'll try that one.
So In order to do multicolored like you did you have to let the epoxy sit for about an hr or so to add the next color ? Btw love these came out so pretty
Long enough that it has time to set up. Otherwise, the epoxy could move more than you want.
Im not sure what you mean by "Tilted" how did you tilt it without making it overflow
Hey I always love your work, but quick question when you do molds do you now have to worry about bubbles in your epoxy. I'm sorry I'm new to the game. One more question if u don't mind what is Mica used for is it like alcohol ink just powder. Thanx 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes, I do get bubbles but usually can pop them with a lighter. Some folks spray alcohol to pop bubbles as well.
Mica can be used a couple ways. You can brush it directly onto a mold or cup or mix it with epoxy and drizzle on. Mica is VERY versatile! 😊
Thanx so much for your info. I really appreciate u. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@ThePurpleStitch when you spray alchool is a light sprinkle or do you spray allot? You definitely can't use a heat gun then?
I have the same issue with fine glitter!
I was wondering if you could use a flat object and lay on top of the pieces if they were still soft to flatten out the imperfections
Awesome tutorial! Question- do you just mix enough epoxy for each color and allow the colors in the molds to set for a few or do you mix a big batch and just keep going?
Tammie Wheeler for this I did a bunch to make it worth it. 🙂
The Purple Stitch ok thanks! I want to try adding different colors in my molds but wasn’t sure if I needed to wait a few minutes in-between each color.
Tammie Wheeler if they are too runny, they’ll blend.
The Purple Stitch I’m sorry - I’m new at this - so just make sure my epoxy is thick? Or wait a few in between colors 🤔
Tammie Wheeler i wait until it is thick enough to stay put before adding the next color. 🙂
You don’t cure it after each color?
Where did you get the Texas mold. Oh my
Goodnessssssss
Etsy, but I haven’t been able to pull up the shop the last couple times I tried. 😩
When you do your first color, how long do you let it sit so it is hard enough that it doesn’t run in the mould when you’re doing multiple colors?
Each epoxy is a little different, just at least long enough that it is set up and not runny.
Super cool
Thank you!
You said you unmolded at the end of the day. About how long until they are cured? Thanks.
The epoxy I used cures completely in 72 hours. It will depend on your particular epoxy. 🙂
How long do you wait before adding another color?
Just long enough that the epoxy doesn’t shift at all.
@@ThePurpleStitch Thank you!
How did u get your epoxy that thick?is it the glitter or just let it sit before using
You could let it sit before pouring, but I let mine sit at the angles to set up.
I also struggle with tiny bubbles in my resin, any tips?
Ivy Taylor - Dances when I’m struggling with bubbles (more in cooler temps it seems) I use a shop light to warm my parts a bit before mixing. That in addition to using a metal or silicone stir stick seem to help me the most.
If u hear the blade before u try to trim any edges it will work better
Awesome project to sell at PRIDE FEST!!!
What type of Epoxy did you use?
Found it
Can u let the epoxy set for an hour or 2 b4 u pour? Like have all colors bit they thicken to not run together
Alicia Stewart I’m thinking that long would be a little too long and the epoxy would be hard to pour. You could let it sit and get an idea how it has thickened before pouring though.
You gotta get it in the molds before it starts to heat up depending on the type of epoxy you use, you will have only 45 min or less in most cases before it starts to set
I can’t seem to get my pigment to stay separated when pouring a ashtray it looks good in the beginning but I come back and it’s all just one mixed colour any tips for keeping resin colours from combining
Allow more time for the layers to set up? I haven’t done anything super thick, so I’m not speaking from experience.
The Purple Stitch so what I do is I mix everything I need for the project because it’s got 8 hours before it starts to set so your saying make it in smaller batches and pour in layers because if I were do mix it all at once it would be useless even if I did layer it because it’s all setting at the same time but if I make little amounts it should be easier because I am pouring colour into something that’s already more thick and set up?
Pretty much! That’s how I was able to keep these from blending.
how is your resin so thick? mine is always really runny so I can't mix colour!
Michaela Raven this time it was because of the temperature in my shed. You could let it sit a few minutes to thicken as well. Eachbepoxy is different on how fast it thickens, so it might take a few tries to get it right. 🙂
So what does the lighter do when you run it across it
Pops the bubbles on top.
Totally off subject but is your ring tattooed on?
Yes ma’am!
I love it ! My husband was in an accident that left him without a left ring finger and we are talking about getting ours done.
Yours is definitely a different situation. My flower is a cover up of a mistake I made over 20 years ago 😬😬😬...lessons were learned!
Very nice, but I hope you have stopped putting your fingers into wet epoxy, it is TOXIC!!!
People seem to not notice I’m wearing vinyl gloves in my early videos. I’ve switched to nitrile & the color is more obvious, but I’m wearing gloves for everything I have to touch epoxy. 😊
Did enjoy the video.......but.....the word, “so”, was used so much that I turned off the volume and just watched. 🙉
Yeah....at some point I realized that I say that word a LOT and have been much more aware of that and say it less AND edit out when it still slips too often. I'm learning as much about myself as this craft as I go....😁😂
Why have I never thought about doing this?!
😂 it’s a time consuming way of doing things, but usually turns out nice!!
