This is one of the most helpful resin tutorials I have seen in a long time. Thank you for showing us first how to heat the print to set the ink, then to seal it up to embed in the resin. I am most pleased with this tutorial. Blessings to you and yours with health always.
Please 🙏 question so I need to do it with resin not epoxy iam trying to put it in my stainless steel cup
@@Reag713 same process, check out my video showing the Charlie Brown tumbler using book pages in resin.
I second this comment.
You are absolutely right , very informative and makes it look very simple and beautiful
Thanks for showing how and TELLING WHY
thank you, thank you, THANK YOUU so much for this! putting foil pieces into my projects has been my new challenge & it’s been exactly that. 😩 so many folks don’t share their resin tips, so it’s appreciated.
Two years later and you are still helping. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cant afford a cricut right now and can I tell you. All my inkjet pics for my coasters, keychains and others are all beautiful due to your technique. Thank you, I really appreciate it.
I'm so happy to hear it!
I have a Cricut and regret it. It, I, and my computer are not compatible. If I hadn't been given it by my sister, I would really resent it. Spending over $500... I can't see many people getting that back in sales. So don't feel bad about not having one!
I haven't started resin crafting YET, but I have to say when u began unfolding the first coaster, I felt like a child on Christmas
morning 😀 THANK YOU!!! ❤
Aww thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this. I've been thinking about making pendants with pictures or drawings and I was worried about how the resin would affect the paper, so thanks again!
This is a terrific way to use paper in resin projects. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for making the video! ❤️🌵✌🏻
Could you try it? My ink keeps smudging every time I try! I died heat, iron to set the ink after printing but nothing! It still smudges! Any ideas?
@@alexandragarciabaudrit5835 This is on my list to try, lol! I know that using laminating paper has been successful for me. I’ll let you know as soon as I try this!
Why
hello
I keep watching to see why heat is used on the front of the picture in the beginning. Is it painted with a glue first ?
Thanks for the great tips! So far I've only printed on to transparency film so I look forward to trying this with paper!
Beautiful thanks for sharing. I’m so inspired. Had one perfect project and many fails can’t wait to wait on my next project. Thank you thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! You’re one of the only people who have covered this topic
I used this last year to make Christmas presents and it worked out perfectly. This year, I'm making some more and looked this video up again for a refresher. It is so helpful.
Thank you for sharing this, I'm just starting with resin projects. This is great advice.
Flawless!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just when I was on the verge of giving up!! thank you so much for the trick! This is the easiest and most efficient way that I used to stop resin from leaking
Just gorgeous!
This is such a helpful video, thank you for the tips. I am venturing into my first resin project and I appreciate you teaching and sharing your knowledge. 💕
I’m so happy I came across this video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to seal my pictures for Resin. I was told mod podge but this way looks better, just ordered the Tacky Glue 😂 thank you
Ooh, thanks for the tips. I was watching this at work due to one of my customers wanting to do something like this, but I'm thinking of doing this myself too as Christmas presents.
Awesome!
thank you for this tutorial - it was excellent, I have had so many issues - so very much looking forward to trying your method...excellent
WoW! Great tutorial, they came out so beautiful! Thanks 🌸
Thus makes so much sense, as long as I've been crafting I just started playing w resin and I I so glad I found ur channel!
Thank you so much for this video. I was using sticker paper n laminate over the top of it which isn't very cost effective. Plus, I would still get some resin seeping thru at some edges. This was very easy to follow and the colors are still bright after the glue dried. Just awesome! Can't wait to try this method
I've never done this but you have done a Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the clear explanations on why you do it that way. I appreciate you making this video.
Thank you for making this tutorial. I've been wondering how to make my drawings into resin keychains and was answered by you making this tutorial!
Yay! I hope they turn out great!
Such amazing advice, thank you so much!
Your work is gorgeous! 😍
Thank you for sharing this tip. I will definitely try it. Yours turned out amazing!
These are absolutely beautiful, the colors are amazing
This is a great technique I hadn't considered. Aleenes is great. I used it to seal some beads on a project, worked better than modpodge and kept shine. Thanks for sharing 😊
Just beautiful...you’ve inspired me to step outside of my box, and explore my creative abilities. Fingers crossed!!
There is truly no greater compliment. Craft on girl!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing and giving so much detail and many tips! Love your logo it’s adorable!
Very helpful video, thanks! I wanted to start adding collage work to my resin pieces but didn't know how to make it work. This is very informative.
Good luck! I hope everything works out!
This is a well done tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort that you generously shared in order to impart this wonderful information. I know it will be very helpful for me.
THANK YOU!! I want to make little resin pins using my art and I'm terrified of ruining them because they take so much time and effort ✨
Very good info! Thank you for explaining why things should be done a certain way. Beautiful coasters!
This was a wonderful how to video. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful project.
Omgosh I'm so glad I found your video! Just in time for doing 2 gifts that require paper to be used in them. Im going to be using actual pages from a book. Thank you!
Awesome! I have used book pages with this technique many times and always get good results
Love your intro music!! I usually skip past intros, but your music has the feeling of the opening of a 90’s family film. My heart is thoroughly warmed 😋
Lol thanks! I like music that is happy over all. I'm glad you feel it too.
This works and it's a GAME CHANGER!!!!!
all my colors are sooooo bright
Beautiful work! Thanks for the amazing advice.
Glad I decided to watch this! I wanted to use a picture in my resin tray. I thought of using modge podge. I have tacky glue so I will be using that! Thank you for sharing!
OMG I am so glad I came across your video! I have ruined a project I am currently working on twice simply because I did not seal my photo properly on the Resin! Perfect timing for me to see this as I am attempting the same project a 3rd time! I now Know what to do, Thank You!! Subscribed.
love this video. Really helpful. Where is your glitter from please? x
THANK YOU for this. You've inspired me to give resin casting a try, now that I see how it can be done well.
Wowzers! I also noticed NO BUBBLES!!! Awesome!! Ty
This was an absolutely perfect explanation Thank you!!
I actually love everything about this video. From the way you’ve taught how to transfer an image to resin to the color combination you’ve used. Everything’s lovely
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching. Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful...I would use for my nail pallets too, the glitter queen here loves it
Thank you for this tutorial. I LOVE crafting and am embarking on the making of resin coasters. So much useful information in a short amount of time. Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
Thank you - I am trying to make a gift for someone -- I really appreciate this video
My fave method is glossy photo paper, with the resin I use it doesn’t bleed, or wrinkle. I massage some resin onto it before adding to a tacky layer of resin.
Hi Misty, does the thickness of the glossy photo paper cause any issues with lying flat?
Love it just starting out on my projects
I agree with Christie, really informative and appreciated, they turned out beautifully ❤
Those are THE most beautiful coasters I’ve seen. Great job!!! Love them ❤️
I like your way better. I will buy the glue lol and this looks like it’s more fun and less stress😂 beautiful work
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. Great video!
Excellent video and I love that combination of colors and glitter. Thank you for the explanation.
Thank you for the video. I was freaking out about not having a cricut machine.
Me too!!!!
A laminator works amazing too and it is pretty inexpensive
Same here!!!
Same here but you don’t need expensive Machine to make Resin
@@_miravnm_ true :)
I use amazing clear cast resin too ... what heat does it withstand because I couldn’t find it on the uk website
Thanks for the tips! So far I’ve used my laminator for images and not had any problems with resin leaking in but I’ve seen others have problems with that. So it’s nice to have this as an a,tentative if the laminator stops working
Ah thank you for this! I had tried the Mod Podge method and hadn't had much success with it. But now I know why! So I'll definitely give this a try.
I watched this video a while back and last week I put it to use and this absolutely works..I've done it without before and always had the slick spot I'm guessing resin seeped through. I'm so glad I stumbled on your video. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear you had a good experience with this technique! Thanks for watching!
Great work! When printing out photos do you need a specific type of printing paper?
You can also seal your paper before adding it to your project after the sealant dries, so u don’t have to worry so much about getting a really good seal between the paper and the resin, since the images itself is pre-sealed.. I like Liquitex matte medium for sealing.
Thank you for adding your knowledge so everyone can try a different method. I have done it this way but have had trouble a few times when part of the paper floated and part didn't or it slid to one side while I wasn't watching lol. Slippery little things.
Much, much better than what I have whipped up lately.
Great instructions, so clear and simple. Very good explanation of the whys in your process. Thank you.
Say I am doing multiple things with paper can I paint with glue a few layers the top of the paper before I put it the project while I’m waiting for my mold to dry and then when my mold dry do it like that to ensure a good seal ?
You should be able to do it that way. More glue never hurts
I've not used paper in resin yet, but now I feel confident I could go and achieve a good result, thanks 💜
Excellent! I'm glad I didn't invest in too much mod podge, and that I have plenty of tacky glue, because I do miniatures kits! You are a treasure!
Those coasters are beautiful and I love, love, love your logo! Thanks for sharing these tips
Good idea, I laminate mine then pop them straight into the resin x
I have done the same but it still seeps in around where I cut it.
secret squirrel tip from an ex teaching assistant who had to laminate a LOT of paper...always cut the paper shapes out first before laminating, you are less likely to have gaps as it complete encases that piece of paper, and it also means you can reuse the paper for other things so less paper waste too!
@@AstraRoseYT
Hi ...I'm wondering if I laminate only 1 side of my pic/image, maybe I only have to glue the paper back side of pic to the set resin. Then I can pour new resin over top?
@@mymai2792 you can’t laminate just one side of your paper as it goes into a pouch for it to be laminated
@@AstraRoseYT
Yes you can.
Watched Teatime N Dolls Channel...
& Positively Papercraft Channel yesterday.
They've done a number of items by putting 2 pieces of plain paper in between 2 sheets of patterned paper in a laminating pouch.
It's fascinating. Bit of a game changer with the new matt pouches too. I've got the pouches but I have to borrow a laminater.
How long do you let it cure before adding the back layer
Omg you got me in overdrive at Amazon I just added resin items to my business can't wait to try this u explained so well thank u!!
Awesome!!💚 They are Beautiful!! This is a MUST try!! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your tips! I have been struggling with removing the white computer paper background that some images may have once I print them. Even if I cut the image out as best as I can there are still parts that my scissors cant reach leaving the white computer paper incorporated in my piece. Any tips from any resin artist would be much appreciated!!!
Some ideas: use a craft knife instead of scissors. If your image is graphic and outlined, make a wider stroke so you can cut into it. If not, make a softer, faded edge on your image, maybe graduating it into the resin color, so the trim blends in. Or you could do that after printing, with a marker or pastel or something. :)
You mentioned photos, would you do this exactly the same way? Your coasters were really lovely xx haven’t seen you before, but have now subscribed xx
Yes same way. I have used the same technique for many different kinds of paper including photos
Thank you so much! Excellent video and suggestions! I am ready to give resin a try!
Just getting into resin and all this so been researching and watching videos..bought new house and want to make some lights and stuff like this with my daughter..thank you
I use a laminator, it never fails! 👍🏻👍🏻
To do what?
That’s what I do, easiest and fastest way to seal paper.
After laminating, what do you use to use it on the coaster, or just pour more resi? TIA
I personally found a few better ways to insert images. One includes using sticker paper and clear sheets and inserting it into the first layer of resin so that it has a more reliable seal.
Keena Rosh like laminating paper ?
@@meshabeyond its more like the old school projector sheets that teachers used to write on. clear single pages.
I tried that but it bubbles up really badly.
Printable vinyl works too and you don’t have to seal it 😉 but this method is great too if it’s an image you didn’t print on printable vinyl
Those came out beautiful 🥰❤️ Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I reeeaally needed this info. I also think your logo is just darling.
That glue is available at Dollar Tree for $1.
Oh, that is a good tip--thank you!!
Modpodge works also, I’ve not had a problem ever with it. But I also do two layers and let it dry completely
Yeah but not cost effective, it's only like 1oz
@@diamondstouch Do you work for CNN, providing such gross misinformation? I just looked at my bottle. It's 3 fluid ounces - quite a BARGAIN!
@@MileyonDisney I've always seen crafts as an area we can come together and just have fun. No need to inject politics. All that needed to be said was that your bottle from the Dollar Tree has 3 ounces. The bottle is small so it's not surprising that someone would think that it had less. I doubt they meant any harm.
Question please .. when the tacky glue is only painted on the image and extends beyond the image not across the entire coaster where the image is.... does it not show the glue streaks on the completed project?
I don't see them when there is a color background. You may be able to see some texture when the item is completely clear but I'm not sure. I have done any on clear before
Wow, they are amazing, love the idea of paper, will have to watch a few more yet....Love the colors.
I'm obsessed. Beautiful 😍
This was an awesome tutorial, thanks so much for showing the process step by step. I wanted to use this to turn my stickers into keychains and charms and will be using this with my sticker paper and just higher quality printer paper. I have a question though. I see that you're mixing and handling resin without any safety equipment, and have been worried about using resin for the effects it might have on crafters with years of possible handling and inhalation. Have you run into this issue? You obvi are a pro at using the resin but for a beginner would you recommend using some PPE like gloves and a mask? I always worry and have heard other UA-camrs warn about the dangers of long time work with resin.
Thanks again for the tutorial, it's awesome 😎
Hi, thanks for watching. I do recommend ppe. In some of my older videos I didn't wear gloves because of sensory issues and have since found latex free ones that work for me. Resin is not especially dangerous for your health in most cases but you can become sensitized to it over time so best to protect yourself and work in a well be ventilated area, mask up etc.
Ahh hey thanks so much for the reply! 👋☺️ And ty for the tips
does it have to be that glue brand specifically ?
You can use just about any glue but I have found this glue to work best. With other kinds of glue you will need to do some tests to see how many layers you will need to add for best results
Those are gorgeous .. love that glitter
Beautiful work and great video letting us in on the creativeness in your craft❤️
These look amazing😍. did you use normal printing paper ? I've tried using printed art in my resin before and it always made the ink run.
Yes it's just regular printer paper and inkjet printer. When doing this technique it's pretty important to allow your print to dry thoroughly before you heat set it. Otherwise it's like sitting on a freshly painted bench. After it dries and it's heat set the glue will seal the ink so the resin doesn't soak in
Thank you for asking this question
@@ResinBelle I can use this process for actual photographs as well, yes? First time I used a varnish, painted on, and it worked perfectly! Second time, not so well. The ink just faded away within 2 minutes. I think I only put 2 coats, as opposed to the first time I put 3. But, I'm still a bit leary.. 😳 This seems sooo much easier!! Please help.. Lol, thank you in advance! 🙏
@@annamarierotondo3394 you should be able to use this process for photos. Always good to do a small test before doing a big project to be sure.
@@ResinBelle Thank you so much for responding, I'm still sort of a newbie, lol, so I truly appreciate your help! 💖
do u sell your coasters without your logo on the front? I'm really interested tfs
I'm not yet but do plan to add some to my Etsy shop once I get the chance to make some lol
I do.
Thank you!! After months and month of failure after failure I found something that works! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve been using clear contact paper as a protectant!
Just HOPING it didn’t seep through. Sometimes it did and most times it didn’t. I love this method!
Awesome! I'm glad I could help
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! It’s wonderful.
Thank you! And you're very welcome. Hope it helps
I’m pretty sure I was a raven in my last life, I love shiny things! I can be walking and talking with someone, then see something shiny and get completely distracted lol 😂
No joke lol
Hello what kind of paper are you using
just plain ole copy paper for my inkjet printer. nothing fancy. but this method will work for any type of paper. Ive used it on different types of paper from cardstock to tissue paper (of coarse you have to be gentle brushing on glue with tissue paper.)
Resin Belle thank you so much
@@ResinBelle hi, have you tried it on projector film?
@@TreasuredKreations I haven't tried that yet. But I have used printed films bought specifically for use in resin. No need to seal those first. I would imagine if the film was laser printed you don't need to do a thing. Can't speculate on inkjet printed films as I've never tried it.
@@ResinBelle thank you so much for responding do you know where I can get the film that is specifically for resin?
They look great!!!! I found this looking to make custom badges for my car. Great tips for helping me to achieve a good product.
After watching your video I finally got it right(did it about 5 times)😁😁😁 thanks for the video
Although this does look like a good idea, I use a specific type of paper that doesn't require all those steps. Granted, this doesn't stop bubbles from getting underneath, but if you put the image in using a scoop motion, it usually works great. For example, if you started at an angle and glide the picture in after you've filled your bezel. Here's a link to the paper. (I have no affiliation with this company at all.)
www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/86lb-pecos-river-gloss-duo.html
Also, I use Little Windows resin and she has several sample videos of how you use her paper (which I believe is similar to what I'm buying) and insert the image in your bezel. Remember this only works if the resin is already in the bezel instead of pouring the resin on top of the image.
Please know I'm not complaining about your option, your way definitely reduces or even eliminates the possibility of a bubble under the paper, but does require many extra steps.
If you want to check out Little Windows, here is their web address. Again, I have nothing to do with this company either, I've just been using her products for 9 years.
www.little-windows.com
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to give it a try. Do you know if you can use Mod Podge instead of the glue you mentioned?
Neat! Thanks so much for sharing that!
She said no it's too watery right in the video
Kim, there are so many papers here, which one works best for you? Is it using the inkjet paper/printer for resin use? The dbl sided paper? Thanks in advance!
I wish I found ur video a few days ago I just wasted a lot of resin 🥺😂 (I’m new to resin)
Same here but I stoped beaten my self up and said hey lesson learnt I’m so grateful for this video
Thank you for your amazing help! I can't wait to get some more resin and put this to work!
These are absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤
