the use of cork on the bottom is genius!
Thank you so much! I thought that would be better than rubber feet but those would work just fine too. Thanks so much for watching!
I'm making my boyfriend a chess set for valentines day and this video is SO helpful!! The most helpful one I've found for this specific project! Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it has helped. I haven't done the chess pieces yet but my oldest is really wanting me to... so I guess I'll have to put that on my to do list. Lol! Thanks so much for watching!
WoW! You were absolutely awesome. Thank you for the clarity and thoroughness. Beautiful. The back was Beautiful also. Again Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this.
I went a little overboard ordering molds on Ebay.
One of the molds i ordered was chest pieces because a guy i am getting to know better loves chess and i want to make him fudge. ....but i already know once i am done making fudge the mold will get repurposed to my resin art. Now i know that if things progress i can make him a whole chess set.
I know all to well how easy it is to go overboard on ordering things 🤦♀️🤷♀️ lol. I wish you and your friend the best and I'm sure he'll enjoy eating and/or playing with the chess pieces. Good luck to you. And thank you so much for watching!
I've been dying to make one of these butt afraid to start! Thank you
I say dive in and have fun with it! Thanks so much for watching!
All that time floating the back and then you put a cork on it. Lol This was a good video. It was so hard to find a good tutorial. Great work 🌹😃🌹
Thank you! The cork backing is just to protect the surface you put the board on. You can still see the gorgeous glitter not only around the edges but between all the squares too. Others options for backing are clear rubber bummers (which I use a lot) or felt. Thank you so much for watching!
Totally agree. The glitter back was much better
A newbie at this and I'm so glad I came across your video!!!!!
You go this! Thank you so much for watching and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
I love your work, however, the cork backing is a no! The glittering backing was beautiful! Great Job!
Thank you so much! Instead of the cork backing, you could use rubber bummers or felt just something to protect the surface you're going to play on. Thanks so much for watching!

This is wonderful, my Cowboy friends would love it. I'm wondering if you could use a glitter pen on the raised areas and seal them with acrylic. You did a wonderful job. TFS!!
Thank you so much! I haven't done that, but I don't see why the glitter pen wouldn't work. Thanks so much for watching!

This was a great tutorial and it came out gorgeous but I would not have covered that back up. The back was too gorgeous.
Thank you so much! The cork backing isn't for everyone. Lol. I was just trying something new. Clear rubber feet/bummers work just as well. Having some kind of backing will help protect the surface the board is on. Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Awesome 👍😄😍
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Omg pipetting is sooooo slow. Glad someone else said it 😂😂
Lol! Yes, it is!! I really just don't have the patience.😆 Thanks so much for watching!

You're welcome! Thank you so much!! I price mine $50 - $70, it just depends on the style/materials I use. Have fun!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!!
Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
This was nice but instead of putting the cork backing on I would have put some small rubber feet of some kind to keep it from moving around
Thank you. Yes, clear rubber feet work great, so does felt. On this one I just wanted to try something different and had the cork sitting there. Thank you so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity No problem I just hate seeing that pretty back getting covered lol
I wonder if you could brush on mica powder on the crowns prior to resin?
Yes, you absolutely could. I love the look of color shifting mica and black resin.
I cant see the black glitter on the purple. Maybe silver glitter next time on dark colors? Its beautiful though!
It might just be the camera. Sometimes it's really hard to get the true beauty of pieces on camera and in pictures. Purple and silver do look very nice together too. Thanks for watching!
Cool😊
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Sorry for all the questions, but the back was so beautiful, why cork it?
I'm sorry it's taken so long to answer you, things have been crazy lately. I've been asked about that corkboard a lot. LOL. The glittered back was pretty and you can still see it around the edges and between the squares. That corkboard backing was really a last minute decision. I had it sitting there for another project and just wondered how it would work as a backing for the board. I know it's not for everyone, but I think it worked. In my opinion, you need to have some kind of backing to help protect the surface you have the board on. I've also use felt and clear rubber bumpers for backing.
Good morning 🥰 I loovveee your chessboard/set, but I can’t find it on your Etsy page.
Hello! This board is gone, but I have three others on my website under the games tab. www.jscreationsartsanity.com/games
Or I could make another purple and white one for you. Shoot me an email if interested. js82creations@gmail.com
Thank you so much for watching!
Wonderful video. I just got the chess set with the board. After looking at it, it was kinda confusing as to how to do the board. Thanks to your video you cleared almost everything up. My question to you is; Why did you put the cork background on? Was it to protect surfaces you place the board on or, was it to strengthen the board itself or both? BTW, I would have used white as the accent color on the darker checker pieces, in my humble opinion, they would have really popped like the white pieces with the darker glitter. All in all, thank you for the video, it really helped!
Thank you so much! The cork bottom is mainly to protect your surfaces. You could use the rubber feet/bumpers to do the same. The clear coat/flood coat of resin I put on both sides of the board strengthens it. I always have pieces that I look back on and say I should have done this or that... and then say oh well guess I'll do that next time... LOL! Thanks so much for watching!
Loved this... just wish you used white glitter on the purple pieces
Thank you! I thought maybe white on the purple and purple on the white... hindsight. Lol! Thanks so much for watching!
Just picked up this mould set up and YOU just gave me so many helpful tips thank you so very much your brilliant. The dropper you used, is it reusable if so what do you use to clean the resin? Thx again
Thank you so much! Those pipettes are really a PITA in my opinion. I don't use them very often and they usually just get tossed. To try and clean them push all the resin out of them and then put them in a cup of isopropyl alcohol. Let the alcohol soak up inside the pipette for a minute then push it out into another cup so that your alcohol stays kind of clean and your not just sucking resin back up into it. And, just repeat that process until it's clean. Thanks so much for watching!
Thx for the promt response I'll give it a wirl
hello, I'm Rosa from Creations By Poppy, and I was wondering why you didn't just leave the back side black? Was the cork material used as a support for the board?
No, not a support for the board but a protection for the surface you're putting it on. I used cork for this one because I had it laying there. I've also used felt and clear rubber bummers. They all work well and they just help to protect the surface you put the board on. Thanks so much for watching!
Nice work....can you use modge podge to make the glitter stick to the pieces instead of regular glue?
Thank you! Yes, mod podge would work just fine. Thanks so much for watching!
Can u put a link to the mold you bought? I'm super scared to get cheap molds that rip on demolding

This is an excellent tutorial. I recently received this board mold and couldn't find any video showing this, so I truly appreciate it. Some questions:
Can I use this method to make a chess board? Can you provide how much epoxy resin was used for each of the processes, specifically for the board?
Thank you.
Much love to all.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much! Yes, you can use this board for a chess board. Where I got this mold they actually have a choice of chess pieces or checker piece molds. This is approximately because I always mix a little extra... The white and purple about 140 - 160 ml of each and the glitter part about 8 oz. For just the board itself, I would say a total of about 12 oz. Happy Holidays to you too! And thanks so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity You are so cool! Thank you for your response. It's going to help me a great deal. My daughter plays chess and I will have a challenge on my hands soon when I tackle this project. I have the molds for the chess pieces and the challenge will be in keeping the pieces cohesive, between curing time, in the color since I only have the molds for the 6 main pieces! Thank you so much! ♥️👍
@Spiritual Compass You're welcome. To try and keep the color cohesive, I would measure out the same amount of mica powder (or whatever you use to color) and put it into as many cups as you're going to need for how many batches you'll need to do. So like if you're going to need to do four batches, then measure out the same amount of mica powder into four different cups and then use the same amount of resin for each. That might help a little trying to keep everything cohesive even though resin does have a mind of its own. LOL. Best of luck! And I'm sure your daughter will love it!!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity thank you for sharing this info. I recently bought this board and was going to ask the same question.
@@rainbarber7657 You're welcome and thank you so much for watching!

Clear glue drops on corners of bottom of board to show off glitter
Sure, that would work. I usually use those clear rubber bummers for many of my resin projects and they work great. For this project, I had that cork board and just wanted to see if it would work just to try something new.
@@JSCreationsArtSanity just asking questions I'm learning...tutorial means teaching ..sorry if it seemed mean..I wasn't trying to be mean
@@kellygallo1075 Thank you. Yes, a tutorial is teaching, and I love teaching and sharing the different things I've learned along the way with my fluid art. I'm happy to answer questions and give advice where I can. I appreciate all of my subscribers and everyone that watches my videos, it really means a lot to me.
Hi Thank you For the awesome tutorial :) May i ask how much resin in total did you use for this project i wish mold manufacturers added how much resin it would take to make the items :)
In total, I used about 18 ounces of resin not including the top coats. For all the white (pieces and board) it's about 5 ounces and that's the same for the purple pieces and board. For the glittered back it's 8 ounces. The top coats are optional (but I do recommend them because not only will it cover any flaws from the mold but it also strengths the board) and only take maybe an ounce or so per side to do that. FYI - (this is what I do) just use a measuring cup and fill your molds with water to determine how many ounces you'll need for that project. Of course make sure your molds are completely dry before using resin. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!
How much resin do you use to fill in one color on the chess?+/checker board?
About 5 ounces for one color.

@@JSCreationsArtSanity thank you so much for answering my question. I enjoy your videos!
@@shaunapestershaunaispink8094 You're welcome! And, thank you. I appreciate that!!
I hope this isn’t a dumb question but the back was so pretty. Why did you cover it with a cork backing?
The back was super pretty and it's one of my favorites I've made. I just put the cork backing on to protect any surface the board was sat on. But, if you didn't want the whole thing covered clear rubber bumper feet work well too. Thanks so much for watching!
Did u wait for the purple to cure for 24 hours before u put the glitter on? I'm in the process of making one right now and I'm just curious!
Yes, it was close to that. You don't necessarily have to wait that long, but you want your previous layer to be cured enough to hold the next layer so they don't mix. And, all resins are different and different environments affect resin differently so it's hard to give an exact time. But, 24 hours is a good number to make sure you have no problems with just about any resin. Thanks so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity thank u so much! I appreciate the help!
So why do a flood coat if you were going to put a cork backing on it?
At that time, I don't think I knew what backing I was going to do. You need to have some kind of backing to help protect the surface you have the board on. Cork, felt, rubber feet... I've done all of those and they all work well. Thanks for watching!
Nice
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
I have a dallas cowboy inspired chessboard. Im doing navy blue and silver. What will be a color to go on the back of thoses colors. Where you put your black and white at?
Couple ideas I would try... just a solid white background (but I would color my resin with either pigment paste or acrylic paint because that will give you more of a bold solid color than mica powder will), or maybe a glittered background (plain white or maybe a mix of blue and silver flakes)... hope that kind of helps and gives you some ideas. Thanks so much for watching!
Why do you need a flood coat on the board?
You don't necessarily. I like the look of it. And, a flood coat will cover up any imperfections from your mold.
why would you go to the trouble of putting glitter on the back if you're then going cork it? seems like a lot of work. Oh its called a crown not a king.. love the colours you chose. Im doing this soon too but different colours. Thx for taking the time and showing us
Well, I didn't know that I was going to use the cork until after I was done, it was a last minute decision. I was going to use rubber bummers but I ran out. My thought was to have some kind of backing to protect the surface that the board would be on. Thanks so much for watching!
im making chess set abd this video was hellp ful
but i want to know now many resin cupsit takes to make the chess board
Thank you! To make the board you'll need about 13 ounces (a little more then one and a half cups) of resin. For the chess pieces, I'm not sure how much those will take because I haven't made them.
Thanks so much for watching!
Good afternoon where did you find your checkerboard set at?
I bought mine from Glitter Chimp. It shows they only have the board and chess pieces in stock not the checker pieces. Here's a link to their game board: www.glitterchimp.com/products/game-board-silicone-mold-chess-checker-board
How much resin did you use for the board for each color? I tried to make one tonight and it wasn’t to good. Then again I’m still a newbie at making stuff.
@katgirl8012 For just the board itself... The white and purple about 3oz. each and for the glitter part about 8oz. I would do one color at a time and let it set up so that you don't run the risk of the two colors mixing, and be sure not to overfill the squares. Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you so much for watching!
Do you use a mold release agent?
No, I don't. I've only had problems with one set of molds (they were crystal molds from Amazon) and they were cheap and not made very well. Thanks for watching!
Does anyone have any tips for a good mold release?
I don't use mold release every time. I know I probably should because it will increase the life of the mold. What I have is Sprayway Mold Release that I got off Amazon. Thanks for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity Awesome thanks for the reply :)
@@kellykelso18 You're welcome!
I've started making chess board and they keep warping is there anything you can tell me as to why it's doing that?
I've had that problem on a couple of pieces and usually it's the projects that are thinner like these boards, clipboards, bookmarks, etc. It does take thinner resin projects longer to cure. It could be the temperature or humidity you're working in... make sure your work surface is flat and level and wait a little longer before demolding so instead of the 24 hours wait 36 or 48 hours before you demold. If you have to demold then you could put your project on a flat surface run your heat gun over it to flatten it out and then cover it with parchment paper and something flat and heavy and let it finish curing that way. But be very careful doing that because your resin piece could be marked up very easily. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for watching!
How long did it take you to do the whole set, minutes, hours or days or all 3?
It depends... if I'm working on other projects at the same time and how the weather/humidity is. If I'm just focused on this project then usually about 96 hours for just the resin (that's pour the first color wait about 12 hours, pour the second color wait about 12 hours, pour the background wait 24 hours, demold, clear coat first side wait 24 hours, clear coat second side wait 24 hours). For the cork backing, I'll usually wait anywhere from 48 to 36 hours. If I'm working on other projects at the same time then I usually wait about 24 hours between each pour. And still wait 48 to 36 hours to put the cork backing on.
Also, if I use Elmer's glue instead of painters tape when I'm doing the clear coats then I have to wait for the Elmer's glue to try which can take anywhere from 2 to 3 days.
To cut some of that time down you could pour your colored squares at the same time. I've done this, but I don't recommend that you do that because you do run the risk of your colors just running together.
whats your favorite project to date?
I've thought about your question and I really can't say just one project or piece of art... I have quite a few favorites all for different reasons. I have one project that I've been thinking about a lot lately and that's recreating a 3D resin stone rock that I did several years ago...
@@JSCreationsArtSanity You should do that! You're amazing
I made a mistake and put clear resin over the board thinking that was the front😢😢I wanted my edge to have color now I have to redo it😢😢💰💰😢
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Maybe you could salvage it by painting the edge the color you want and then flood coat the top to seal it in.? Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for your video! However I found myself skipping a lot of the video because it’s too long with slow explanation per se? I would suggest a speed video with a voice over to explain the overall process c: and your board came out lovely by the way
Thank you. And thanks so much for watching.
How much resin did it take ? By ml ?
For the white (board and pieces), about 160ml. For the purple (board and pieces), about 160ml. For the purple and white glitter back on the board, about 240ml. I say about because I always mix a little more then I need incase I get messy. LOL! Now for the clear top coats... I usually have several projects at once to do, a rough estimate for this one would be about 80ml per side. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity 💞🥺🥺thank you ; helped a lot
Ok two questions: why didn't you put white glitter on purple pieces? And why would you waste all that Beautiful glitter and resin.. bottom of board to cover up with cork board
I used what glitter I thought best at the time and what I had on hand. Hindsight is always 20/20. You could absolutely use white glitter on the purple and I think that would look very nice. I also think that purple glitter on the white pieces would have maybe been better, but again hindsight... For the cork backing, I had the cork board and thought lets try this and see if it works. It's just to protect the surface you put the game board on. I think it worked and you can still very much see the beautiful purple and white flecks of glitter, not only around the edges but in between each square too. Thank you so much for watching!

@@JSCreationsArtSanity Thank You.. I'm gone to do one tonight. Can I send you a pic after I'm done
@Eleanor Foster-Daniel Of course! Please do, I'd love to see it! I have contact info in the description below the video.
I think the purple pieces should have been outlined white
White would have looked good too. Thanks so much for watching!
It'll probably be less wasteful to have the glitter on a paper plate so you can dunk the glued end into the glitter and dust the excess back
For this piece, I poured a little of the black glitter into a paper cup so it would be easier to pour and I was working over a sheet of paper. All the excess glitter fell onto that sheet of paper which I then poured back into my container. I try not to waste anything. It's just too expensive for that. Lol. Yes, a paper plate would work just as well. Thanks so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity not a problem. I enjoyed watching it
Glittering the checkers…that will never stay put people will always get glitter while playing. Love the board however.
Thank you! The glitter on the pieces is sealed so no messy playing. lol. Thanks for watching!
Wasted ALL that resin just to put a cork board on the back, omg.
No, not wasted at all! I've used clear rubber bummers, cork board, and felt for backing. They all work! And, the main thing is the family that received this game absolutely loved it. Thanks for watching!
