a very, very long time from now a botanist will have the day of his life.
I watched this video when I was little when my grandma would visit, I’m here again bc she passed away 2 weeks ago and I’m crying and I came here for memories. I watched it bc I liked when it popped open and I loved dandelions. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What a beautiful way to save a mother's first flower from her child (and grandchild). I have a love of the little flowers gone wrong because of just that. A dandelion is a symbol to me of the love of a child and so I incorporate them into a lot of my artwork. Thank you so much for sharing.
ABSOLUTELY!
So how did the final casting end up with a black base?
Nice of you to tell us to follow the instructions
If people want to, you can create your own mold using 100% household silicon and putting it on bath with dish soap, then you use whatever object you want a mold of.
I personally would reccomend a light bulb for a perfectly smooth spherical shape if you don't have one like it.
OOOOOhhhhh... I like it a lot!!!
I've always been fascinates by paperweights since childhood, and after watching this, Im going to make one🌸
For a minute there, I thought you were gonna have a thumb paperweight. 🔪👍
I've had a desk job for the passed 12 years or so and not once have I ever wished I had a paper weight. This is pretty cool tho, I always wondered how this was done.
Gosh I would not have thought that dandelion heads were that sturdy !!! gorgeous

... I haven't seen such a vending machine in about 30 years ...
But very beautiful that preserved dandelion. Amazing what they can withstand!! Although, I d have loved to see the finishing process instead of how you struggle with opening that container ...
they are definitely still around. I saw a few at a store I was in just yesterday.
I have got to make this. I love dandelions, or as my daughter calls them, Wish Flowers. Thank you for sharing.
So beautiful. Ive got all but the darn dandilion and resin...
Im Edgy But Im Fine. You can use a round ball shape
hahahaha
I can't wait until spring ♥
Wow!! That's very wonderful !
Wow. Beautiful. Love it ❤
sooooooo beautiful!!!!!
a friend of mine have one and every time when I go to her house I admire it, wondering if I can make one for me. Now I know THANK YOU!!!!😃😍😉😁😆😊
Wow, I luv it, that’s amazing!!
Dude I'm in love!!!!!!!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Wow what a brilliant idea.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
Wow just beautiful!
This was incredible
beautiful and nothing short of genius :)
Awesome, very creative. UNIQUE
you need to be more careful with the knife I thought you were going to to slice your fingers off plus this is not a full demo😞😞😞
A whole channel for dandelion paperweights you say
Super !
Wow it stayed all together when you put it in the resin, I didn't think it would.
Awesome!
Very,very nice!!!!
Love it
Can you do this with a regular flower?
This sound track is lit
When you pick the dandelion. Du you place it in water or not when waiting for it to explode.
You should try roses as well. Especially spray roses they are smaller and just as pretty
IMPRESSIVE !!
Magnifique, vraiment très joli 😃😃😄
That is adorable 😍
What kind of resin and what is catalyst?
You make a half dome with a black base whereas the actual product is clear and a virtual full dome, how is that the same??
John James you are right!!!
and I believe the whole video 😣
John James Thats just what I thought. The finished product bares no resemblance to the one they showed at the beginning.
coz they dont want share the recipe with everybody
@ResinPuddles I don't think we're watching the same video...
I want to do this but with a live rose, does anyone have any comments, suggestions for doing this with a rose?
My sister loves those little glow in the dark aliens.
paul austin I remember that, I worked in the toy trade at the time.
Amazing
Very nice! Where can I purchase the resin / do you have a brand you prefer to use? Thanks!
very cool
Why was the finished paperweight so dark, that you could barely see the dandelion inside of it? The paperweight, that you showed as the video was ending, was bright and white. The one, that was shown being made, just looked dark and dirty.
Very beautifull
Just curious. How come these are so expensive ? I’ve seen them around 80$-130$
superb
Okay. No sharp objects for you.
Wow!
No resin… can I use high fructose corn syrup?
Awesome
Thanks! You can get one now on sale at www.dandelionpaperweights.com
Thanks for showing . I just received my xlarge Dandelion Paperweight. Beautiful! Now I know how its done.
Ah the ol' smoke and mirrors demo, still the knife/thumb bit nearly got you a thumbs up (ooh, no pun intended)
Dandelion paperweights now available on www.uncommongoods.com/product/dandelion-paperweight
Achei bem interessante. Resta saber se estes produtos utilizados serão fáceis de encontrar aqui no Brasil.(Chicão)
+Florisvaldo Francisco Freiberger Se refere a resina? Olha, recentemente comecei a experimentar com elas em outras coisas (peças de bonecas), achei o vendedor Redelease no Mercado Livre (eles tem site também). Atendimento 100% e vários tipos de resina. Acho que a mais barata, de poliéster, dá pra este tutorial, mas ela esquenta a 160 graus quando curando. A que eu uso (Epóxy) é beeem mais salgadinha mas tem durabilidade melhor e não esquenta quando cura (a menos que reaja com algum material em volta. Sem querer deixei um pouco em um copo plástico por um tempo, chegou a derreter o plástico). No momento as resinas estão um pouco mais carinhas pelo preço do dólar mas eu guardaria essa loja, não troco!
What a beautiful idea...I would like to do it, where I buy all the staff....?
any craft store should have resin
que lindo 😘
Cool!
So, in other words, you're not going to show us. Lol.
Because that's not the same product that you sell.
true
how many times are you going to post that same question? Once is more than sufficient.
Oh. Wtf? Maybe something bugged out, and it double-posted.
its pretty much the exact same process with a different container a baby can figure that out
Stick Figure .
How did the back get black?
I take no dandelions were hurt making this video
Somehow I doubt it comes out that perfect looks like it needs polishing but I could be wrong....
I'll bet there is a bit more then that to it.
Why the hell do I wanna watch you open a resin can?❗️
anybody else hold their breath at 4.50 and expect there to be blood??? Ohmygod!!
That lid removal with the knife looked hella dangerous
Ficou diferente do mostrado na capa do vídeo. .
Mine won't come out of the plastic 😫
Name of the background music?
All of us Facebookers on here lmao
You can buy this minus the extra cost of all those material and work .
knife abuse
Seems to me that the dandelion would turn into a ball of yuck once you pushed it into the very viscous resin...I could be wrong but logic tells me I'm pretty much on the mark.
Depends
no ..... artists have been dandelions in resin now for a while. It works if you do it properly.
I liked your video though 😊
Me:*watching* ooh so pretty but then at 0:55 I was completely shook😂😂😂
What kind of resin is that?
that's a poly resin
That timelapse scared the hell outta me 0_0
Oof that sound effect!
A Dandelion, to me, is the international symbol for: My yard's gonna look like shit and in about no time flat if I don't spread some weed-and-feed quick!
Omg thought he was gonna lose a finger with that knife..never ever do that
Wow huge jump from where you stopped to where you ended up.... If your not showing the whole thing why bother..?
Nearly a trip to a and e instruction vid
Get some practice with that knife.
Well ain't that dandy 😀
after watching the video, i m going to buy a dandelion paperweight on ebay.
This is so dramatic xD but AMAZING
75 cents for *ONE* space alien guy!!!?? That's a total rip off!!!
Halarios
Just been to your site and bought a necklace, fairy wish....omg, i cant wait for it to arrive! Tibby x
Nice beaver !
I was waiting for him to stick the knife in his hand when he was opening the tin...
Efek bunganya gosong kenapa y
the vending machine orb was a great idea for a mold.
No its not, right at the top theres a dent. Its an eyesore.
Edit❗️Edit❗️Edit❗️
This is painful to watch, great concept though!
Strange how your dandelion opened up after you picked it and it was dying.
They do that. I do a lot of time lapse photography and its the only way to catch the thing opening. In the wild, the stem moves all over the place from natural movement or the wind.
Seriously? How is this strange, what weird world do you live in? This is exactly what dandelions do when you pick one like that or weedwack/cut the lawn. They very rapidly open up after the stem is cut so the seed can spread.
TheFuzzyPenguin have you never bought cut flowers? Did they open?
