Heyyyyyy lovelies, I am finally using LIGHTS IN RESIN - I think I may be the last person to ever try this lol. I have always been so scared and intimidated to use lights in resin. Mostly because what if they stop working half way through ? In this video I am creating a Christmas themed tray using lights in resin for the very first time so a beginner project for sure. I am using the oval tray mould from Molds and Shapes code below.
I am also using Istoyo resin for the very first time and I loved it. So easy to use being a 1:1 and crystal clear. You can get 10% using my link

Claire, Im so proud of you for facing your fears, Im still scared of spiders so go you!! I have used lights in resin for years and have never had any issues. Just replacing batteries. But if I can a piece of advice, on the part that is on the outside, if its just wire and not wrapped in silicone, some aren't. I just take clear packing tape and wrap that part to protect it from breaking the wire. You know how wire does after it gets bent so many times. Also another idea is before you put it in the resin, cut a piece off of a straw and string the lights through it up to the battery box, then wrap it with packing tape. Just a little protective bearer for the wire. ❤
“Airplanes might be landing here”….😂😂😂. I used to work for a large airplane manufacturer here in the states, so this cracked me up. I love watching your shows! ❤ I think the tray turned out fabulous! You put a lot of work in this and I think it was well worth.
Cutest holiday spaceships ever! Love this!
Thank you for showing the lights as I have had the same issue--I have them but I'm afraid to use them.
Yes I still use colored lights, I'm around regular lights all year long so I'm going to use colored lights at Christmas same as I did when I was a little child. It's OK for your first time. I like it.
The tray came beautiful, Claire. It does look like you’re looking at lights on a Christmas tree. This was genius. 👏🏻😁
This is great. But. I would have outlined each bulb with the same color marker like you did the string. Great job though
I love the fact that you kept your inner child and feature it in the energy you put in every piece you make. This is an inspiring first try. My 13 year old daughter watched it with me and now wants us to recreate it together! I had an idea, I'm not sure its a very original one, but I think that putting a thin layer of clear resin just before the glittery one could make the rope stand out more on its own. Thank you so much for your good vibes in every single video you make.
Thankyou so much ❤️❤️🌲🌲 I am happy that I'm still enjoying creating very much 😍😍❤️ I hope it continues 🤞🤞 hell8 to your daughter and Merry Christmas from me 🌲🌲❤️❤️
Claire I am so proud of you for going out of your comfort zone. The excitement in your voice reminds me of the first time I tried lights. Oh yeah it was a Christmas 🎄. It grew on me after a day or two of looking at it. Lol! And yes I keep trying. 😊 have a Blessed day.
I think it came out adorable!!! All you needed was a layer of clear, before the green…. That way the string would have shown!!! So proud of you for using lights….😉🥰
It's gorgeous Claire. Just adding the silver pen and vinyl really made it pop! I'm so glad you didn't trim the wires off that we're slightly poking out the back..😂😂 I heard of somebody doing this once - not me, thankfully. 😂
Multi color lights for sure! It’s a grey time of year and you need color to brighten things up. Love the tray. It’s so pretty and festive.
Now I can't un-see the spaceships, at least they are festive ones! The text really made it complete and even when the lights burn out it will still look good.
Never came across until now,if lights stopped working,Ms Claire.This trinklet tray is so beautiful with those ornaments and lovely glittery background 💖😍
I am obsessed with this. I am making it! I LOVE THIS!
I would choose one or two colours for the baubles, that are contrasting to the green background. First, I would accentuate the contours of the baubles with black acrylic paint, then I would fill the baubles with coloured resin, let it harden and then add the fairy lights (so the lights are not so close under the surface). Although I love the green glitter, I would use a more neutral background. I would use a snowflake stamp and white stazon ink to fill some of the spaces in between. Love the vinyl!
This is, what I would do. But then I have the advantage of having watched your video. Thank you for daring this so I don't have to!
💜
Awww, Claire! This is *_adorable!_* Adorable and *GORGEOUS!* You are so clever, the way you solved problems "on the fly": the sign of a very creative Artist! You _should_ be proud of yourself!
I have more fun watching your videos than you perhaps realize. 😊
100% colored lights here for Christmas holidays.❤🎅⛄️❄️ love your dish creations, you are not alone with avoiding lights embedded in resin. 😊
I can always hang clear/white lights anytime of the year. ❤
Tim holtz has some called tiny lights they can be cut from the other end from the battery pack and they still work they'd be perfect for this project ❤️ I absolutely love this one it's stunning babes absolutely stunning the green glitter is gorgeous 😍 ❤❤
Came out much nicer with the vinyl. Gorgeous 😍
Well, you faced your fears and now you have a really cute make. I also think adding the vinyl words was a perfect finishing touch.
I really like it, you done a great job for a first time. I had a chuckle because even when you don’t like something you’re still enthusiastic about it . Your great love your videos❤️💜I’m glad you ended up liking it because you did an awesome job
Claire, you never disappoint to give me a smile; o so needed. I love how you jump right in, and takes us with you.
I’ve never used lights yet. I love the the colors, and going 4 the alcohol inks. The green glitters are O WOW!!! 🫶🏻
I LOVE this!! It turned out so CUTE, Claire!! Maybe not quite what you wanted...but the idea with the lights...and adding the vinal still turned out EXQUISITE!!!! 💜🤯💜
It's fabulous! One thing, I think the reason why you weren't sure about it when you first saw it is that the green (with all that glitter) is overwhelming the baubles - which is why adding the "oh Christmas Tree" to it balanced it out a bit more.
Very cute Claire. FYI, you CAN trim off excess lights on the end that you don't want/need for most of these fairy lights. So def check to see if that's the case for the ones you bought.
The only issue I had with lights was from a Carousel I made last year, where half of the lights kinda bent out of shape so badly that it broke the circut. So, one half of the lights worked, and the other half didnt. But it still looked cute. Lol.
Ohhhhh what ? 😱😱 no way that is unreal thank you so much I had no idea 🤩😱🙈🙈 so much to learn thank yooooooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Claire cute Christmas tree tray 🎄 , great idea , thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
On the reveal I thought, ooooo galaxies.... with a sparkling sky.... love it for Christmas
This is gorgeous!
This is actually really pretty!! I love it with the Lettering! I enjoy lights in resin! So far mine are still working!! Good for you that you did the lights!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
That's really cool! I've never thought of using lights in resin for some reason. The addition of the text really brought it all together.
My Family room lights are white lights, the kitchen, dinning room and outside lights are multi colored. I just love Christmas lights!
I love it! I love the idea of using lights! As a fellow crafter I actually understand exactly what you are saying and I’m sure this will open up more possibilities.
I haven’t yet done resin work - but I remember back in the 70’s my mom did some resin art - it was really cool stuff she made. My daughter dabbles in resin and I’m still sitting on the fence about doing some…
This came out very lovely. That green is fantastic.
My own ideas on putting lights in would be add a midge of mica (just enough for a hint), add color the ornaments and then attach the lights. Might make the light spread more.
Thanks for sharing.
I really like amber Xmas lights. It gives me a warm, nostalgic feeling. 🥰
My tree has multicolored lights though!
I think it turned out really cute. The vinyl really added to it. It looks like you had planned it that way. 😅 I've never used lights either. I have your same fears 😂. Now, I have to try it. 😍
I love a mixture of white and multi-color. You're too hard on yourself. It looks great. Really cute, sweetie. xoxo
Nice outcome Claire, love the colors. I watched Daniel Cooper make a Rudoplh pendant recently with a teeny tiny wireless led light in his nose & it worked a treat. Would be a perfect option for the baubles 🙂
Turned out really nice! I totally agree on the vinyl. Appearently you can cut off some lights at the end if you feel you have too many
This looks great, the lights make the baubles look 3d. We went for coloured lights on our tree this year. My Husband coloured the ones we had with coloured pens.. they look so pretty.. All multicoloured 😊
Hi Claire, I think you did a great first job with lights. I've made resin Christmas trees with those lights and they're really cute. Never had any problems this far!
I was thinking it needed a little something something too! Then you added the verbiage! Looks great!!
FYI.. first half of my adult life I decorated with white lights.. now I’m using colorful lights!
Don't be so hard on yourself Claire it is beautiful Ilove it❤❤❤❤
Good on you for doing something out of your comfort zone ❤️ I agree the vinyl brought this to life 😊
Most UV resin is also LED cured. So those little lights will help cure around those lights!
I've never used lights in resin either, but I have many fairy lights waiting. I have used them in other stuff, and once I was just about to finish a cool project when a wire came loose. I managed to solder it bag.
What an adorable creation,Ms Claire. This turned out superb and the lights add it another level beauty to it.The glitter background is too gorgeous 😍 ✨️ 💖
I like it Claire. Love Love Love
Hi Claire, wow. I luv it. I knew exactly where you were going with the baubles when you made the green. Its a shame you lost the candy string but the marker soon fixed that. I didnt see a space ship til u mentioned it n they certaintly didnt ruin it. I remember coloured lights as a child n yeah made Christmas magical but now all my lights are are daylight bright. Back to ur tray its amazing n would make a brill display piece. Thank you as always x
I love multi lights and always use them no matter what I do Claire but all white look OK too ❤❤❤
It's beautiful. You did an awesome job with the lights.❤❤❤
I absolutely love this piece and lights in resin! Please do more! ❤
I wonder if outlining the lights to give it definition would make them clearer. Love it.
Very pretty Claire, I think it does look like a Christmas Tree 🎄
5:12 would a sharpie pen work?
❤ I made it to the end & I am inspired by what you created. My only quibble is the text & that is only because I couldn’t see the ‘h’ clearly in ‘Oh’ but that is down to the font & possibly shows up better in person rather than in the video with the lighting fading the end of it out. But Claire be proud of yourself. You created a great piece for your first attempt. And hopefully you will look at it year after year with fond memories & continue to be proud of yourself for sticking with it to the very end.
A unique Christmas decoration, it’s cute.
It is beautiful! Love the inlays with the lights! Screams tree.
Great video. My fears about lighting is about what yours were. Putting the lettering in really helped to tie everything together. ❤
Just a little OBSESSED with the lights there Claire? 😂😂
Get a string of 10 lights. I loved it but I love all your makes 😂 x
Maybe white snow background?maybe darker inks would have helped break up the look of the lights?
I love it. You will be putting lights in everything now 😄
I have used those same lights in projects for about 3 1/2 years and they are still functional in the earliest projects as well as those that I did afterwards - and you can get replacement batteries for the ones I have.
Claire this is stunning I love everything you make but this is yay it’s Christmas 🎄
Well done love ..Shows,don’t give up and it works great at the end..Love it 🥰
That is too too cute. I ❤❤❤love it. 😊😊
Im yet to try lights in resin. I have them but they still in their packaging lol 😆 great job claire, your (ufo) xmas tray looks amazing. Maybe a different colour background or green around the edge. ❤❤
I done the word Family with lights and flowers the wire broke off so now it sit in a box untill I find a way of making it look ok lol. Well done for concurring you fear of lights ❤
Ohhhhh 😢 thank you for letting me know xx so sorry that happened xx
Claire, I am so sad I missed another love chat!😢 But this tray is really awe-inspiring. I love how you disguised the wires of the lights and added the cord. Too bad that didn't work as you wanted, but you saved it with the marker. Great project.
As for lights... I have one tree that is prelit with white lights. But outside, I love colored lights. The more, the better. But not as much as "Christmas Vacation" 😂😂😂.
You can acually cut down the lightstrand to make it shorter 😊
I think its lovely! Love the sparkles, the bauble lights and vinyl
Love it especially with the vinyl words
Gorgeous make Claire, love it x❤
Wow, that came out so so cool! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas w-us😊❤
Gorgeous Claire ❤️❤️❤️
You always come up with surprising endresults, Claire! Love to watch this video. Fan of the green glittets. Thank you Claire for your show!
maybe do a clear coat before the glitter coat next time so it doesn't crowd the candy cane string and bobbles. Also you can get new batteries for the lights.
Well done. Could you maybe do like one colour lights, so there not multi coloured and then add the red and white string, and then a black glitter background.
I love you channel ❤️. You can cut your lights to the length you need but you won’t be able to use the cut off bit (unless you have an electronics guru in the house to add a battery pack to the cut off string).
Welll, I'm 68 and I still LOVE and use Multicolor Lights on my Tree and other Decorations! Like I grew up with. I do mix in a strand or two of Clear in the Tree. And Tinsel, gotta have tinsel❤😊. My daughter dubbed me a maximalist😅, but I think I'm a "Just as it should be-ist".😂
Very cute and festive. You did a great job
That turned out really cool. Thank you. 😊😊
So adorable! Well done!
So cute, what a great idea. ❤❤
It's really lovely Claire, the writing makes it ❤🎄
This is just fabulous!! I cannot wait to try this.
Thank you Claire!!
White lights only outdoors, colored lights for our Christmas tree
This really is so cute,you did great hunny!❤
Looks lovely with you claire u should be proud of that peace. X
Super cute ❤❤❤❤❤
I love warm light Claire
It’s cute but not my favorite. I categorize my first projects like this as prototypes 😉🥰 learning curve for sure 👍
I think they came out so cool!! 💜😻
Very pretty tray.😊
I love it you've inspired me to have a go tomorrow I was to scared but after watching you I'm gonna do it thanks
I think it turned out fabulous!! I love it!!
I have been using lights for a while and the only time mine stopped working was when the wire snapped so as long as you are careful it should be ok
This is gorgeous!!! 😍😍 The vinyl indeed made the tray ❤️
I love it Claire!
I love this one! Great job
