Idea!! Do an old timey photo and have your grandparents write a note on the back - something cute or just classic date/picture description, and then do clear resin so you also preserve their handwriting on the back.
What a fantastic idea! I am my 'family historian' so-to-speak and I have photos so old they are tin-type and have my great-great-grandparents writing on the back. Plan on using your suggestion for a project for sure.
@Melody Patrick Sealing a photo with Mod Podge only works with Laser Printed Images. It doesn't work well with Inkjet Prints because it can make the Ink smear.
@@melodypatrick6845 It doesn't happen every time, with Inkjet, but it does happen. Not sure what causes the difference. I always use a Spray Sealer for my Inkjet Photos. Hasn't failed me yet. But I do about 3 light coats on each side.
possibilities are endless with this resin art....im new to all this and doing my research before i embark on investing in supplies....your channel is hands down the best on youtube
When u pulled out the old photo to use, I started having a panic attack. Then when u proceeded to reassure ur grandparents that's it's just a copy, I felt reassured too. Thank u for that hahaha
So glad I came across this video. I’m about to start a project I would have ruined completely if I didn’t see this. Would have been a very expensive mistake. lol
As an artisan who uses resin often, I just love your channel! I have tried many forms of sealing photos and the best options I've found were either laminating or sealing with packing tape on both sides. Recently I have just simply printing on all weather labels with my laser jet (dry ink is key here) and theres no need to seal. I love what your doing with the alcohol ink!
These came out soooo cute, I love the one of you and your friends 🥰 also Instead of laminating, you can also use a clear spray sealer like rustoleum to spray the photo, a good 3 coats should do fine and then you’re able to coat with resin with no yellowing or ink running..I work with resin/epoxy on tumblers and that’s the best way to “contain” anything 😁
Hello can you use something like clear nail polish? And what about handwritten notes or images printed on paper? (im guessing those might actually need to be laminated)
I've heard other people say they laminate with clear packing tape, which is cheaper than a laminator. I'm not sure, though. Really excited that you did this video! I was going to request putting photos in resin!
You can but it shows the overlapping lines and if you cut too close to the seal you're screwed. In theory this too can happen laminating but it actually has a edge around the image which is a great guide line for where to cut. Also I've gotten packs of laminate sheets at goodwill for less price than clear packing tape. It really depends on how often you would need to do this process for it to beneficially effect price.
I do this! It works well, but I make jewelry and small pieces so they usually always fit on the tape. I have overlapped before and it wasn't noticeable.
@@deannahawkins2795 I had a few that drove me nuts w overlapping and others that didn't. I too do jewelry so working w smaller images and tape works well. My clumsy hands also are notorious for somehow touching the tape. I hate getting finger prints everywhere 🤣🤣 certainly not knocking tape. In my case I was happy for my laminator and more so when I didn't need it. But I love when we share our different experiences cause what works for me might not for another. We need options cause resin has such a temper when it wants too.
@Beatty Fam Sealing a photo with Mod Podge only works with Laser Printed Images. It doesn't work well with Inkjet Prints because it can make the Ink smear.
Thats the purpose of the mod podge to seal so that the ink doesn’t smear , if its laser printed you don’t need to seal I make tumbler cups and use mod podge or clear spray sealer , if i buy a laser printed picture yoi don’t seal
@@EllieMandyArt Hello! I am also under the impression that if you use waterproof photo paper, you could print from inkjet and put into resin. Or to use an acrylic clear spray on the water proof paper...maybe... And there was one more...but I cannot remember at this time!!! LOL For that matter, any clear spray pain that we already use on our tumblers should work. BUT, I like the laminating idea!!! SWEET!!! From acrylic paint pouring, Christine Welch "picks" up paint drippings with a spatula, "slides" the paint onto the waterproof photo paper (methinks glossy), and after it has cured she uses it in snap jewelry. For polymer clay, to set micas, we use sscrylic spray... Thank you for the vinyl!!! I adore how we discuss our options! Wonderful community, here! Thank you! -Darlene
You have my kind of energy when it comes to crafts and loving what you're doing, girl, definitely don'tet anyone try to take your excitement away or tone it down! :) I'm a nerd too. Haven't played bioshock yet though, but my husband has. Just found your page recently. Love your work!
Gosh I did this about 20 years ago lol. Made placemats for the fam, they chose some pics they liked, painted the wooden bit, then 2 part resin and done, no issues. They have over time yellowed and resin eventually started lifting at the edge but loved the end result. Great to see old ideas being new again and loving the added inks 😍
I’m watching this video now and got excited when you mentioned the heart tree! We moved to Vermont 18 months ago and that drive was the first real sightseeing we’ve done thus far. 🤗
For the one of you and your siblings you should cut each of you out separate from each other then layer them strategically to get a closer feel. Then what if you put each down in their own layer of resin for dimension. Sounds like it could be cool. Love your videos!
love it. i too was yelling at your video to put more pictures together in the giant laminator pocket. lol you live and learn and then make awesome things! great work
Just a note: Like she did make a copy of the old/important photos. Do not laminate or put it in resin, the heat does irreversible damage and becomes nearly impossible to conserve later on :)
Thanks - I’ve been wondering about resin-ing photos too and wouldn’t have known to laminate or give a protective coating first. The tree was a triumph! Perfection!
This 1st one and the last were so amazing! Love how alcohol ink does it's thing. Also if you have a lazer printer or access to one it won't bleed in resin on photo paper. Ink jet will though. And for some reason unbeknownst to me printing at wallgreens vs CVS you don't need to laminate. I asked what photo paper they used but they said they didn't know. Lol. It was a godsend when I was mass producing bci 4x6 all the time and didn't have to laminate after.
Hey!! I've used the regular self sticking laminating paper and also packing tape. Ya just have to make sure to not cut too close to the edge of image or the resin could seep in. I've also used Mod Podge, Aleen's and acrylic spray. There are quite a few ways to successfully seal paper. I loved the alcohol ink designs...very COOL ; ) I love working with resin, the possibilities are endless. Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xo : )
OMG solid splicers!!! Love your videos, they're really helping me learn the technique before I try my hand at it! Hoping to make some stuff for my upcoming wedding!
OMG THESE ARE AMAZING I CANT WAIT TO TRY *is there a video where you show drilling thru the resin? I am nervous and unsure if there is a particular process
I like to find cool pattern backgrounds online and print/ laminate them to use with my picture projects when I don't wanna do ink. Having a laminator changes the game a lot. You can put text, clipart, borders, all kinds of things in your resin now. I'm excited to see where this takes your creativity 😁
I made ornaments this past year for family and friends using an ornament mold I got from Michael's. I poured clear, let set, I printed pictures off my comp, then used Modge Podge to seal. Put in the poured resin with Holiday red acrylic paint and silver glitter on the back. Drilled holes and tied diff ribbons for each. Turned out pretty neat.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm new to resin, and am about to start with UV resin. Your videos have taught me so much, before I've begun....thank you.
Shoutout to a fellow Jeffree Star fan! We have the same shirt lol from the Mystery Box :D I absolutely love the way all of these turned out, but I think the one with your brother and sister is the best. It just makes the picture pop so well. Also! I have gotten my supplies in and made my first pieces, and they're all still curing. BUT I'M SO EXCITEDDD (you should really put that on some merch) to see them later! So be on the lookout for an IG tag soon ;)
Yessss I love Jeffree!! Thank you so much! Omg it’s so hard to wait to pop them out, especially your first pieces! Lmfao that would be so amazing as merch 😂 I’ll be on the look out! ❤️
I just watched your fresh flowers versus dried flowers in resin and i love this video on how to do photos so my question is can you use this laminator on fresh flowers and will it help to keep the color versus just putting the flowers in the resin?
Laminators only work on totally flat surfaces -- like paper, or a driver's license, or photos. Hope this helps! If anyone knows of a different type of machine that might do this, please post.
@@therealJamieJoy i was wondering because when she uses her flower press in the microwave in another video the flowers came out completly flat. It was the fresh versus dried flower video.
@@therealJamieJoy i have not tried this yet thats why i was asking. I saw one of her videos the fresh versus dried flowers and it looks like in the video that the dried flowers are completly flat. They look like thin sheets of paper. It was amazing looking. I sent her an email to see if she would try it out so im hoping she replies or makes a video.
I LOVED the fact that you couldn't find your resin piece with the photo of your Grandmother!!! This happens to me all day every day! I put something in a place where I know I will remember and... GONE!! Also you and your workspace are absolutely gorgeous!!!
Off topic do they shape that tree to look like a heart, its so cool Is it possible you could post a copy of the photo, if ok with you when i pluck the courage to buy supplies to try (when my health better) i would love to use that.
Aaaaaaaaamazing!!!! the tree turned out beautiful!!! and it's cool the picture of your grandpa has the date on the picture that will be awesome to have when you get older when you're decorating your tree with your kids ..you don't have to remember!! awesome!! Great job!!! this project turned out perfectly!!
Love, love, love these!!! But I must say I was freaking out when you used the laminator. In my many years of office work, you always had to put your plastic sheet between 2 thin cardboard sheets before running it through. So I was yelling at my phone, "No, Stop, it's gonna melt"! Hahahaha!
You make it look so easy 😂 literally every time I’ve tried adding a photo to my resin pieces I get a big fat bubble in front of it no matter what steps I take to avoid bubbles! 😭
You can also use a copy of your photo... if its a film camera photo, you would have to scan it and print it. And then coat it with modge podge, front and back if you arent adhering it to something else before you pour the resin (like adhering it to a wood tray that you plan on pouring resin on) Just make sure you coat it at least twice with mod pode and you will be fine to use it in resin. Also, in lieu of mod podge, you can make a diy version and just use 2 parts elmers glue and 1 part water, mix it up and there is your homemade mod podge. :) Love your channel :) Oh and how you did your molds... you could put a thin layer of resin, let it cure, then mod podge your photo down to the resin and then coat the top of the photo with mod podge. Either way would work :)
Hey there, youngster. 😊 I think you’re not very experienced with actual photographs. You put your fingerprints all over them. In time the acids and oils will smudge. This is the reason for the white borders on OG photos; they’re not just there for style. 😉 But then again, these weren’t literally original photos. 🤔 But don’t touch original real photos! New sub n bell here. 😃👍🏻
I came across your youtube and I am so happy I did. Wanted to do photo's with resin but didn't know how......NOW I DO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks sooo much. Love the heart tree the best!! God Bless you and again thanks so much..........
I had a light bulb come on in my head today about resin coating a photo for my parents grave for Xmas and you’ve just showed me how to do it thanks hun appreciate it very much bless you 🙏👍
Hey! I love that you get excited about things and are curious to try new things all the time. Ignore those cynics that would rather 'be cool' than genuinely enjoying life xoxo
I love them all, the tree one especially the heart tree... love the background of your picture w/ your siblings... plus the back of your grandfather's picture looks like a flower... really love them all! & thanks for giving us new ideas in your every videos... 🥰
I expect to see the cut edges of laminated plastic in the end product, but am truly amazed. Another fun way to use my laminating machine whoop whoop 🙌🏻 Watching the alcohol ink work with the resin was kinda hypnotic 🤩
Thank you sooooo much! I love making cell phone cases designs and I’m using a photo on my latest design and I was not going to laminate it prior to adding resin and charms, etc... but I will now after watching your video, you just got a new subscriber!😊
I have been watching a lot of videos about resin as I want to start doing projects after I took one class with a frame and shells. I was going to take another class with a different teacher and had started a list of questions I need to ask about. One of the questions you just answered as I didn't think I would be able to put pictures in resin but I can! 😁 I like your energy and will watch your other tutorials.
Total newbie here. Thank you for explaining the purpose of the white ink. Now I understand why I need it; when/if I get to using alcohol inks. Love your upbeat personality and your videos.
Just started looking into resin art and came across your channel. I heard you say wicked in another video and I was like omg she has to live in New England. I've found so many artsy people from back home, so cool!
Your tutorial made me excited too! Thank you for sharing your genius method. Wow! Personalization will give me an edge and a way to diversify my products.
Super cool idea. I too yelled at the tv for you to put all the pictures in the big sleeve but also be careful about trimming the photos. Like how you clipped the corners of the g-pa picture to fit the circle, technically it’s vulnerable again to water and liquid leak in ❤️
I FREAKING LOVE YOU !!!!!! I'm learning resin for a new business start up and you (a few others as well) but YOU are extremely dope and informative. I only hope to be this great 😭😭😭 thank you for sharing with us !

That would be awesome if they would be still alive. Mine are not 😪
Man, I love watching talented people perform their art form. It's like witnessing an art era through UA-cam.
Well Said
Hobby sure but not really talented. But " art is subjective "
I have always coated pictures with mod podge and let it dry. it protects the picture from the resin. After it has dried it is sealed.
@Melody Patrick Sealing a photo with Mod Podge only works with Laser Printed Images. It doesn't work well with Inkjet Prints because it can make the Ink smear.

When you started that big piece of film thru the laminator, I was yelling stop, but alas, you couldn't hear me.
I was thinking "why didnt you put all your pictures in one sheet, you wasted all of that lol" I bet she clued in when she pressed the button..
Hahaha. Same. I'm a teacher, and that's like gold!
Same lol
I thought exactly the same thing! OMG the waste! It broke my heart.
Same!!
Really cool thing you can do with this is to create depth by putting different parts of a photo in different layers
Ooooo that’s genius!
You could even use two copies and put the first copy down then use the second to add the layers
I just spray my photos with clear gloss polyurethane front and back. Way cheaper. Love the color palettes in your pieces.
Do you let them sit for a period of time? And how many layers do you do please 😊
@@jessicacatlin9115 One coat and let it dry completely. This seals the picture so that the resin doesn't ruin it.
You can also use mod podge to seal the ink in the pictures. I use it for mine instead of laminating the pictures and it works amazing!
So glad I came across this video. I’m about to start a project I would have ruined completely if I didn’t see this. Would have been a very expensive mistake. lol

Love, love, love these!!! But I must say I was freaking out when you used the laminator. In my many years of office work, you always had to put your plastic sheet between 2 thin cardboard sheets before running it through. So I was yelling at my phone, "No, Stop, it's gonna melt"! Hahahaha!
Thank you so much! & omg imagine another fail video burning pictures in a laminator lol
I am so glad I found this, my daughter is getting married and this would be awesome as a gift with her announcement in it.
You make it look so easy 😂 literally every time I’ve tried adding a photo to my resin pieces I get a big fat bubble in front of it no matter what steps I take to avoid bubbles! 😭
It’s so satisfying seeing the colors spread everywhere 😍
*New sub here, I would've liked to see the pictures you didn't laminated, just to see the effect.*
La Thinktopian the resin would end up soaking into the picture paper and making it look wet or stained in the resin.
You can also use a copy of your photo... if its a film camera photo, you would have to scan it and print it. And then coat it with modge podge, front and back if you arent adhering it to something else before you pour the resin (like adhering it to a wood tray that you plan on pouring resin on) Just make sure you coat it at least twice with mod pode and you will be fine to use it in resin. Also, in lieu of mod podge, you can make a diy version and just use 2 parts elmers glue and 1 part water, mix it up and there is your homemade mod podge. :) Love your channel :) Oh and how you did your molds... you could put a thin layer of resin, let it cure, then mod podge your photo down to the resin and then coat the top of the photo with mod podge. Either way would work :)
Hey there, youngster. 😊
I think you’re not very experienced with actual photographs. You put your fingerprints all over them. In time the acids and oils will smudge. This is the reason for the white borders on OG photos; they’re not just there for style. 😉
But then again, these weren’t literally original photos. 🤔 But don’t touch original real photos!
New sub n bell here.
😃👍🏻
I really liked this project they were all very nice but the one with the heart tree was my absolute favorite! Thank you for sharing!
😂 You are a hoot! Thanks for all the GREAT ideas & for sharing. 🙏 It’s wonderful to see someone else having fun doing what they love.
So perfect ! The laminate soo makes my day to know how to do pics in resin!
I’m new to resin so still making loads of mistakes. Your stuff is amazing and you’ve given me some great ideas. Thanks so much and your super cool🎉
I came across your youtube and I am so happy I did. Wanted to do photo's with resin but didn't know how......NOW I DO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks sooo much. Love the heart tree the best!! God Bless you and again thanks so much..........
I had a light bulb come on in my head today about resin coating a photo for my parents grave for Xmas and you’ve just showed me how to do it thanks hun appreciate it very much bless you 🙏👍
Hey! I love that you get excited about things and are curious to try new things all the time. Ignore those cynics that would rather 'be cool' than genuinely enjoying life xoxo
Thank you, I have been wanting to resin some photos, just didn't know how to make it work. This video was so helpful and I cannot wait to try it.
I love them all, the tree one especially the heart tree... love the background of your picture w/ your siblings... plus the back of your grandfather's picture looks like a flower... really love them all! & thanks for giving us new ideas in your every videos... 🥰
I expect to see the cut edges of laminated plastic in the end product, but am truly amazed. Another fun way to use my laminating machine whoop whoop 🙌🏻
Watching the alcohol ink work with the resin was kinda hypnotic 🤩
Thank you sooooo much! I love making cell phone cases designs and I’m using a photo on my latest design and I was not going to laminate it prior to adding resin and charms, etc... but I will now after watching your video, you just got a new subscriber!😊
The dye in the resin just BLEW MY MIND!
I have been watching a lot of videos about resin as I want to start doing projects after I took one class with a frame and shells. I was going to take another class with a different teacher and had started a list of questions I need to ask about. One of the questions you just answered as I didn't think I would be able to put pictures in resin but I can! 😁 I like your energy and will watch your other tutorials.
Total newbie here. Thank you for explaining the purpose of the white ink. Now I understand why I need it; when/if I get to using alcohol inks. Love your upbeat personality and your videos.
I was planning to put a photo in resin, but I wasn't sure about it. This was helpful. Thank you!
I was most excited about the tree 🌳 one n u delivered on all of them...! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love the heart tree so much! Such a great idea. Especially making the Christmas ornaments!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just started looking into resin art and came across your channel. I heard you say wicked in another video and I was like omg she has to live in New England. I've found so many artsy people from back home, so cool!
Your tutorial made me excited too! Thank you for sharing your genius method. Wow! Personalization will give me an edge and a way to diversify my products.
I loved every second of watching you create this beauty. Thank you!
Love them all! Great sunset, my favorite.
I love how excited you are. You are so adorable and I love your videos. Never stop being excited!
Super cool idea. I too yelled at the tv for you to put all the pictures in the big sleeve but also be careful about trimming the photos. Like how you clipped the corners of the g-pa picture to fit the circle, technically it’s vulnerable again to water and liquid leak in ❤️
I FREAKING LOVE YOU !!!!!!
I'm learning resin for a new business start up and you (a few others as well) but YOU are extremely dope and informative. I only hope to be this great 😭😭😭 thank you for sharing with us !
That is so amazing and you succeeded for the sunset affect. Wow I just love your work. Don't stop.
