Making eyes for inserts - simple guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hi I'm Wendy a resin artist and crafter.
In this video I am showing you how I make eyes for resin inclusions from plane glass cabochons. These can be purchased from Amazon, Ali Express, Wish, eBay and independent retailers.
Depending on the size you require there are two methods I use.
For small Cabs I use the print out and UV resin method. PPE is advised when using UV resin.
For larger Cabs I use the nail varnish method. Please be aware that nail varnish can have strong fumes and in my opinion you should wear PPE and work in a well ventilated area.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please use the section below as I will do my best to answer any comment.
Thanks for watching
Wendy

Thank you so much Marguerite. I hope you enjoy making them 😀👍
Amazing imagination and they look really good. Would never have thought of this in a million years thank you Wendy,
So glad you enjoyed it Shirley 😀😀💜
@@Toonpish Thank you for your response to my posts so fast when i know you must be a busy women.
I did and you have just opened my (to coin a phrase) 👀👀 lol.
My friend loves dragon figures and I want to try and make one for her, so I will try and make them eyes now in the near future.
Still quite new to all this and getting more wrongs than right, but I will master it.
Just a quick thought though can I ask, why you spray the alcohol on your pieces and do you do it before you pour as well as on top. Iv tried that and it just created cravats on top for me and my resin is either curing so fast or bendy and not hard. Im using Just Resin .
If you have a questions & answers channel I haven't found it yet, so sorry for asking here if you have. xxx
Don’t worry about asking questions that’s how we learn.
I don’t know the brand you mentioned.
But the alcohol is the way I release the bubbles.
Sometimes I do spray before but that isn’t 100% important.
It sounds like you are getting pitted surface because you are using too much. Try and find an extra fine spray and don’t keep using it too much as it’s curing.
I hope this helps 😀💜
@@Toonpish Hi Wendy thanks for your reply.
It is 99.9% pure Isopropyl Alcohol cleaning fluid one. There is no name for it just 2 D's on the bottle back to back.
I have also got an all purpose rubbing alcohol called British Basics all purpose, but I haven't tried that one yet. I have only sprayed the mold before I pour, then the craft at the end once and left it. If you could recommend the right one for me that would be fab.
Re:- A spray though, aren't they all just a stranded spray nozzle on most bottles?
The only fine, fine spry iv got is on my water hose ☔ 😂😂 and I dont think that, that would go/fit onto a bottle 🤔🤔 😆😆
There are definitely fine mist sprays which would be better and yes the isopropyl alcohol 😀💜
You and your wonderful artist ways are so BEAUTIFUL ❤Thanks for sharing 🎉
You are very welcome 😀💜
You are absolutely Creative! Amazing video and tutorial. Thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you so much Jennifer 😀😀👍
I am really glad you enjoyed it 😀👍❤️
@@Toonpish have you ever made a large dragon eye, To hang on a wall?
@@jenniferjasso5947 no 🤔🤷♀️😀
They look fantastic Wendy
Thank you very much, David. Very kind of you 😁👍😊
These are so cool, and look like loads of fun to make 👀
They definitely are fun 😀🥰
WOW! Just WOW! This is got to be one of the BEST eye video ever! I loved it and was on the edge of my seat waiting to see them finished. Great job, Wendy! XOXO
Calissa you are too kind honey. They are so much fun to make. Have you ever made them? I have tried to paint the little ones but my eyes are too old to see them 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic video, thank you for the sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😀💜
So many gorgeous eyes! I have a bag of glass cabuchons I bought at IKEA of all places that I need to try this on.
Have fun with it 😀😀😀😀👍
@@Toonpish I ended up sculpting a few faces (that I'll try and make moulds of later) as most of my nailpolishes had dried up and I'm out of acetone...
@@mizzuzie3338 well I’m sure you will get there 😀😀😀
Sounds like you have lots to make 😂😂😂
Faab, I'd imagine this is soooo relaxing (apart from all the eyes following you!). Thanks as always x
Thanks sweetie lol. I keep them hidden in a box 😂😂😂
Those are really cool! I love them!
Thank you so much Lisa 😀👍
Fantastic Wendy :)
Thanks very much JP ☺️
That last finished one you hold up is stunning! I watched twice trying to see the colors you used but I don't think it's in the process part. Anywho, they are super cool!
This was a while ago and I will have to watch it again to remember 😂😂
Thank you so much Terri.
I appreciate your comment 👍👍👍😀
My son wanted me to make him some eyes for something. This is such a helpful video for me! Thank you!
I’m so glad it helped you. Enjoy your creativity with your eyes 👍👍👍👍😀
Thank you! They are so cool!
Glad you found it Virginia 😀😀💜👍
Awesome. Thank you 😊
Glad you liked it 😭💜

Cool, I've never thought of using nail varnish, just paints. Thanks for that.
Hope it helps 😊👍
Love this video! 😀
Thank you so much Gabrielle 😀😀❤️👍
Nice work
Thank you Pavlava 👍👍👍
Those eyes are so cool. I wasn’t sure where you would use them. Thanks for showing us what moulds you put eyes in. Very informative.
Thanks very much Katherine. There are a lot of moulds with eye sockets. Have a search 👍😊
You have sooo much patience Wendy. The end results are real 🤩
Thanks so much Virginia 🥰. They are fun to make though 😃👌👍
Oh wow, they look amazing - my prize arrived the other day, thank you so much Wendy :) Once I got through the tape, the gifts were beautiful, thank you again and have a lovely day :)
Brilliant Lisa, thanks so much for letting me know. I didn't want it to get damaged in the post as it was going so far 😂😂😂. So glad you like them 💖
These are amazing!
Thank you so much 😀😀💜

Thanks Astrid. Very kind of you 😊
Incredible 😮❤x
Thank you 😀❤️
You made this look so easy!! I'm sure I can do this too ( 😂😂) not! They look 👏 👏 and p.s. drangons are real, ask my MIL 😊
You can do it! 😀😀😀 and Dragons ARE real 😀😀💜💙
Vert cool.. yes its very useful. Thank you for your time. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙 Do you put eyes in first?? What keeps the colored resin off the eye.
Thanks so much Sheryl ☺️. I did a video a few weeks back about colouring moulds. It shows at the end how to clean up the eyes 👁️. 👍😃 Have a look. It's quite easy really 👍😃
@@Toonpish I feel stupid. I did not remember that bit was in that video. And I watched it. Oh well thanks Wendy. I get it now. Great eyes.
Np honey. Don't feel stupid, I do the same thing all the time 😉👍☺️
Where do you get the moulds for the cat, dragon etc? I'm in the USA and am in love with the set of 4 you did.
I got the mould from AliExpress years ago. Sadly I’ve just checked and can’t find it available 😔😔
How do u get the cabochon eyes to stay in mold in place? Mine tend to lift up out of place
They are glass and stay put. Resin eyes will move. I hope that helps 😀💜👍
Could you do the second type with acrylic or alcohol markers?
Yes, resin picks up those too 😀👍
Hi Wendy, just a quick question- where did you get that micro silicone stick? Cheers my dear x
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084RRF11T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_W5ACSBJ6AH0W83QS52KZ
These are the micro brushes I use. They are not silicone but resin doesn't stick to them. You can remove the heads and they are sticks. Hope that helps 😃👍
@@Toonpish Ordered 😁
Have fun 😀
How do you attached the eyes to the head pls tell me🥺
They are glass so they sit in the mould before you pour the resin in 😀
Hope that helps 😀👍❤️
Where do you get the image of the eyes from?
I downloaded images from google. Search free downloadable images 😀💜
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello i was wondering how to insert the eye on a turtle please
What turtle are you referring to?
The mould has to have the right part on it to take an eye cabochon.
Does that help? Hope so 💜
@@Toonpish a mould
@@gena2pretty4u97 yes but there are many turtle moulds. I have yet to see one with eye sockets though 🤔
Wendy ! Wash your mouth out. Dragons aren’t real ! For shame, just because you haven’t seen one doesn’t mean they are not real 😂
😂😂😂 well quite 😳😂
