Casting Flowers in Resin - Bubble Free! Tips for a Crystal Clear Resin Pyramid Using iCrystal 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- In today’s video I will be casting dried flowers in iCrystal 5 epoxy resin from Resin Pro to create a bubble free resin pyramid night light and a beautiful, crystal tower. Along the way I will be sharing tips and tricks on how to achieve a bubble free casting every time.
Tips and tricks are very useful but the main player in this game was the iCRYSTAL 5 resin which I can honestly say is the clearest deep casting resin I have tried.
Resin Pro have MANY different resins to suit any project and their range of pigments, moulds and much more is well worth a look. They ship to most of Europe and have very competitive prices.

I have watched quite a few of your videos now and usually watch on TV so don't think that I can comment direct on there but, I have just had to come and say thank you very much for all your beautiful creations and clear instructions on all aspects of working with resin. You are my favourite. I am a very new beginner to resin and still watch more than I do. Your wonderful videos have got me really excited with the possibilities. Thank you so very much. Sue❤
I love the level was your dads who was his father.. best ever.
I wish i could buy the resin in the US! I absolutely love what you've done here! Thank you for sharing!
So beautiful and vintage like..I love the pyramid very much.. hydrangea are one of my favourites
Very educational video learned so very much and I really enjoy the way that you teach and show us what you’re doing. You’re creations are incredible. Thank you again.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much ☺️
I love watching your videos. So creative, so instructive. But mostly your voice is very ASMR relaxing!
THANK YOU for all your creativity!
Thank you Linda, I get told that a lot and it made me think of doing audio books, only trouble is they would have to be happy with a Yorkshire accent !
STUNNING PIECES LOUISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB AND A GREAT VIDEO . I ENJOYED WATCHING AND HEARING ABOUT THIS RESIN . YOU DID A EXTROIDINARY JOB . THE RESIN PIECES THE END RESULTS WERE AMAZING AND THE LIGHT USED WAS PRETTY COOL TOO. THE PIECES WERE PERFECTLY MADE . HAPPY POURING TO YOU LOUISE . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow ! Really, really innovative Louise !
Totally gorgeous, fab job! Thank you for sharing
Gorgeous, I would love to see you make a large one without the pressure pot.
Thats a lovely piece too. Great job
Our neighbor has hydrangias. I see I will have to steal a few. Actually she gave me permission. LoL. I think these are beautiful. I have been drying wildflowers for a while now. I have plans. I just bought one of each of those UV resins to try them. I was very happy to see you compare them. I must say you demonstrate just what I need and fast forward through the tedious things. Perfect for me. I can follow and understand.thank you . another great video.
June your comment made me feel very happy, it really helps me to get such feedback, thank you. Hydrangeas dry very well, we’ve just planted one but I’m going to have to let it get bigger before I pinch the beautiful flowers.
Oh wow, gorgeous before they were lit up....but with a light? Incredible
Oh Louise they all turned out fabulous love the flowers and the colours as always really enjoyed your tutorial thank you for sharing your fabulous talent xxx
Beautiful ❤
That is so pretty! For me it’s intimidating to work with flowers because they float around and I see what you did so maybe I’ll try that.
Lovely!
Beautiful!!!!
Beautiful as ever.
So Beautiful 😍 I love them all!
Absolutely amazing
So very beautiful! Thank you so much for all the advice for being bubble-free! It is very much appreciated!
Absolutely stunning and some great tips. Thanks so much x
Wow, sooo beautiful!
Beautiful!
I love them 💖👍
Wow, that turned out great. You always give good color advice and cover things that I/we might not think about. (Like adding the white to control the light distribution and not wiping down the mold to avoid breaking the seal). Thank you
Thank you very much Melissa it’s lovely to feel appreciated xx

HI Louise, I have just been watching your resin tutorial you done casting flowers in resin O.M.G O.M.G O.M.G Louise, I am lost for words WOW absolutely stunning I loved all the different Pieces I Couldn’t say I liked one more than another I love them all so much & I thought the way you put the light 💡 in your pyramid was just so Genius But I have to say the best & Nicest part of your tutorial was your wonderful Dads Spirit level something to Treasure ❤️ ………… lots of love to you & all the family & Honey Lin 👍❤️✨
Aw Linda, you always make me smile with your messages. Thank you so much. Yes that spirit level is rather special. Xxx
You are an inspiration to my Hubby and me wonderful ideas truly creative We cant say enough we look so forward to your UA-cam tutorial many many thank you❣️
Claudia, I’m so sorry for the late reply. You know, what you said really made me happy. I’m really glad you and your husband enjoy my videos, it’s so good to share a common interest xx
I love the pyramid the best because now I'm wanting to make a nightlight for my new grandbaby that's due in August! 💟 Her middle name will be Rose 🌹 after her grandmother Rosa, my dear friend who passed away unexpectedly before she got to realize her joy of a granddaughter from her daughter. She is desperately missed, and I hope the nightlight will be a wonderful remembrance for my daughter-in-law every time she sees it in the baby's room 😍💕. Thank you SO much for the inspiration! 😅. Since I'm brand new to your channel and have never worked with resin before 😮 I'm glad I have a few months to learn and practice on some smaller projects lol
What a wonderful idea! I like the way you think. Thank you for your kind words x
Hi my Dear Friend, yet again an amazing video with more amazing pieces of art. This resin looks really good and clear. I don't know why but I don't have a pyramid mould, I have to get one because you yet again have inspired me to "have a go". I'm off to order mould and some of your resin. Thanks Lou xxx
Blimey Linny, my videos are costing you a lot of money! 😂🤣 thank you as always for your kind words, I’m glad you like the results xx
This is the best video explanation to date . What did you use to keep baby flower from floating? Thank you
They all turned out beautiful! I love the laundry line and the nylon strainer! I’ve pre-resined my flowers but, I’ve just left them on a silicone mat to cure and it leaves a puddle underneath. I wonder if spraying the flowers with 97-100% isopropyl alcohol right before they’re put in the mold would help prevent bubbles? Although I really love the dew effect!
That’s a good idea Funo, if I do another one I will try it, thank you xx
I always thought the bubbles were sweet. So they don't bother me. I do love that larger pyramid. The hydranga is one of my favorite flowers. You make such lovely things. Does the resin smell bad? I only remember repairing surfboards in the 70's. It smelled sort of acrid. Surely it's improved since then...
Thank you Angel. Some resins have a strong smell but I think it’s usually the polyester resins rather than epoxy. Most art resins don’t smell much at all.
@@LouiseSingletonCreations thank you
Fantastic , please can you offer more advice on the light please, it seems you have to buy 6 lights but you only get 2 controllers , your work is super :)
Hi Brian sorry for the delay. Unfortunately you came across the same problem as me and I have yet to find the puck lights with their own individual controllers - very annoying!
I think everything you do is beautiful including this pyramid and other shapes. I've followed you for a good bit now and have loved them all. I did want to ask you how the puck light is working. I bought some of those and within a week, they were all no longer working. I only used them for a few minutes once or twice, and then, POOF, out they went. I didn't see the maker in your description box. Thank you for sharing. It's a lot of work to do so.
Thank you so much. I haven’t really tried it out very many times but I did light it yesterday and it was working fine. Mine was in a pack of six but you only get two remote controls. I’m fairly sure I put the ones I used in my UK Amazon storefront (the link to that is in the description)
Beautiful!! What was the name of the holographic white glitter you used? I can't find it on resinpro 😥
Thank you very much. I’m sorry to say that it looks like they don’t stock that glitter anymore and I used all mine up so I cant even tell you the name 😢
Wow, these are amazing! How much would it cost roughly to make one of these pyramids?
Thank you very much. If you buy resin in larger quantities it is a lot cheaper. It would probably cost around £20 for the resin.
How did u create the two towers??
It's like watching Tony Hart 😂
Haha that’s funny. He was my inspiration as a child so I will take it as a compliment
@@LouiseSingletonCreations I used to love watching him
100:67? Uh. My doming resin has a 10:7 ratio and I'm already annoyed by that. 🤣
But I mostly do small pieces.
That made me chuckle. It does seem crazy to have such a ratio but once you get your head around it it’s fine xx
@@LouiseSingletonCreations It certainly depends on what you're casting. I've recently become obsessed with resin shakers and generally make mostly small pieces. I filled all my molds with water, weighed them and made a list of the filling capacities.
My casting resin has a 2:1 ratio, it's easy to pick two or three molds whose total capacity is divisible by 3.
I even made a list of how much doming resin I need for my molds. (I'm cheap and never waste resin. ;)) The amount has to be divisible by 17. Okay, that's annoying, but I can manage that. But divisible by 167? I'll pass. :D
Of course it's different with the big molds, but the first thought that popped into my head was: Oh my, she has to work with that ratio? Poor girl. XD
You used a very complicated math system to calculate. Easier is simply...100gr for A ----- means 67gr of B, therefore doubling A (200gr) means you need to double B. If you only need 50gr of A means half of B (33.5gr), etc...
