ICE Resin®️ Marries Jewelry and Papercraft Episode 3: Make Professional Quality Buttons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2020
- Welcome Back! Since I've been trying to think up projects marrying all the different types of crafts I love, I thought I'd toss in something new. I also love to knit and have an Etsy shop where I sell my handmade neck warmers, cowls and scarves. It's not always easy to find amazing buttons so I decided to combine recycling, mix media techniques, paper and resin to make my own unique buttons. It's become my new obsession! Sit back and enjoy and let me know what you think.

You are extremely clever and soooooo creative. Love the awesome colors and textures of buttons. Bravo to you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much 🤗
This was one of the BEST crafting videos I’ve seen!! You teach this so well and are so thorough. I LOVE these buttons so much!! I have so many circle cut-outs that I am hoarding because I don’t know what to do with them…until now! Most of them are from beautiful papers I created with monoprinting, collage, etc.. They took me a while to make, so I haven’t wanted to use them until I could figure out something really cool. Thank you for these ideas and your wonderful videos. I also loved the video on creating mark-making tools with hot glue. Will try that sometime too.
Thank you so much! Since making this video I was told UV resin would be faster drying. I've purchased some but haven't tried it yet. My buttons are waterproof using ICE resin so I'm hoping UV resin will achieve the same results in a faster processing time. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️
My residents will love making the push pins for their cork boards to hang cards, news etc. In their rooms ❤😊
Thank You God Bless
Thank you for watching! That's a great idea. The ICE Resin product I used has been discontinued but you should be able to use a UV resin and get the same results. I haven't tried it yet but will be posting and updated video when I do. 🥰
Your buttons are GORGEOUS!!! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Ooooo I can’t wait to make these! My husband even wants to try. Thank you for sharing!
Nice! Thanks for watching! Have fun ❤️
The bags that oranges come in would be good
Yes, I save those too...from my Cuties. I now have netting bags in orange, green (avocados) and purple (Brussels sprouts), in addition to the onion and potato bags.
Ohhh, this in now on my buy next list. I want sewing buttons mainly but junk journal thingys will happen, too. I want to wad up a mess of thread snd put ontop..have seen it done onto glue blob to make a wee bird nest looking deco... my wonky slow stich project could use lots of button nests! And i can finally afford the oversized shaped buttons i have drooled over for so long, wheee.
I'm so glad you're inspired! That's why I started making these...for my neck warmers and to use in journals. I have a new follow up video you should watch with a couple of new tips. I've even started selling them in my Etsy Store. Here's a link to the new video in case you haven't found it: ua-cam.com/video/2p2QVflYr9M/v-deo.html
Hi thanks for the class it was wonderful great job! Kathy from Cali.😎
Thanks so much! I plan to do an updated video at some point. The ICE Resin product used in this video has been discontinued. I'm currently working with Picassio which is a UV resin. In fact, I just ordered and received a new UV lamp that I hope will make this process even easier. Here's a link to the resin I use now: amzn.to/3JiW21z and here's the UV lamp which I have not tried yet, it just arrived yesterday: amzn.to/4aQR9Zi.
I want to make some of these as charms for journals
I'm planning to make some of the paper leaves using book pages for the challenge I'm working on now...maybe I'll even try to make some paper beads. I like adding dangle and such to my notepads so we'll see what we come up with.
I agree with the other comments. I was mesmerized but this entire video! You did a great job of explaining everything from start to finish. Plus the end product looks very professional. Great job!!!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it! I need to do an update since this product is no longer available.
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊. I've started listing them for sale in my Etsy Shop.
Really lovely.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful buttons! Thank you~ 🏵️🌼🌺
Thank you for watching! ☺️
What an absolutely fabulous tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to share.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. 🥰
Great video. Great ideas and beautiful details. Love the textures, well done. I also love to reuse items. Very creative. Well done. So glad I found your channel. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I've considered taking down these videos and redoing them because ICE Resin has been discontinued so I need to try doing them with a UV resin which will be faster anyway. ❤️
Thanks for the great information
Thank you....that's what I'm here for...I should note that ICE Resin has been discontinued but I have found that UV resin is working just as well and much faster. I'll have to do a new video with this update.
This is looking absolute interesting. I want to try this . Thank you.
Thank you. I do need to mention since the airing of this video, the ICE Resin product has been discontinued. The good news is I've started using UV resin which is much faster. Here's a link to the one I'm using now: amzn.to/47b91vO. I haven't experimented yet with washing the buttons after using UV resin but plan to do an updated video once I have. 🥰
Love!! We’re definitely related!❤️❤️❤️
Yes we are...can you imagine what we could do if we lived closer!
I love your videos because I feel like we are working together .. just the two of us. So very personal. j
Thank you Judi! That is so sweet of you to say. I'm glad you feel that way. 🥰
I've just found this vlog 😀 really really enjoyed it and so informative, thank you
Glad it was helpful! I've considered taking down these videos and redoing them because ICE Resin has been discontinued so I need to try doing them with a UV resin which will be faster anyway. 🥰
@@heartandsoulfuldesign yes I did search for ice resin and found it had been discontinued.... I don't think you should take any of your videos down though...you spent so much precious time on them ❤️ maybe just do an updated tutorial if you have time 🙂 thank you again
Diamond glaze would work also
Thank you...I'll have to check that out. 🥰
I loved this video. I haven’t seen any videos in this genre so you’re a trailblazer imho.
Your buttons are beautiful and truly professionally created and packaged. There were several that were incredibly eye catching; the delicate flower plates, the sheet music, etc.
Your attention to detail, professional packaging and explanation of the steps were inspired. Forgive me for my repetition but I can’t help myself. Lol
I create all manner of items from custom faux stained lamp shades, jewelry, journals, cards, clocks that are resin finished, etc.
Your video gave me so many ideas for custom buttons that I will create in the themes for my journals in specific motifs such as angels, celestial, boho, holidays & seasons.
I have worked with resin for decades using EnviroTex. I will also have a great opportunity to use my jewelry Dremel. Hooray!
My imagination is going wild with ideas you’ve inspired. I am eager to make some buttons using gilding wax, glitter, foil flakes, etc.
I recently purchased some cork sheets from Dollar Tree ($1.00!!!), so I can recreate your gorgeous cork buttons.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for priming my creative juices.
Blessings.
Thank you so much! Warning....it's really addictive. When I started it's all I wanted to work on...they take awhile so I've slowed down a bit trying to find balance with all the other things I make as well. Have fun! ...and yes...I also end up with more ideas than I have time to make. ❤️
❤❤❤❤Thanks so much! Great tutorial and techniques! Thinking for use with pouring paint skins for necklaces ÷ jewelry instead if just buttons. Might b a while but ill b in touch! 😊🎉
Thank you Barbara! I'm happy to hear you're inspired. ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE IDEA
Thank you Maryann. 🥰❤️
Small cotter pins work Great. Or just twist your wires to look like a cotter pin.
Thank you Linda....I could just 🤗 you! That's exactly what I need and I could not for the life of me remember what they were called 🤣. I could picture them in my head but couldn't find them online without the name. I will definitely be ordering some for the next batch. ❤️
Oh and drywall tape
Thanks.
Fabulous video, thanks so much for some lovely ideas, Sherri. I know you planned to link a _lot_ of items in the description box, but other than the ice resin page I can't see them - unless I'm looking in the wrong place!
Thank you for your comment and for pointing that out. I've gone back and added lots of supply links. 🥰
@@heartandsoulfuldesign You're a star - thank you, Sherri!

No clue what your comments mean but thank you for watching?
Oh boy! I LOVE THESE BUTTONS!
Are the buttons washable, if so, what method?
Hi Joanne. Thank you. For these buttons I used ICE Resin and they are washable. I've only tried hand washing and and also just leaving the buttons sitting in water overnight. ICE Resin has since been discontinued. I've purchased a UV resin product to try but haven't made buttons with it yet. I would think that as long as the resin covers every bit of the buttons so that water can't penetrate to the paper then any resin should work and be washable. I'm sure when I try the other resin I will be doing another video to update followers. 🥰
@heartandsoulfuldesign I look forward to that video. I live in Sydney, Australia, so hope I can buy the same products you will use. I'm planning a new garment range with exclusive prints, offering matching jewellery, buttons & fabric bags.
Hello Sherri love this project 😻can you wash your buttons for your neck warmers ?
Thank you. Yes you can! I do a shank style so there is no hole drilled after to let water in. I did a test where I left them in a cup of water overnight and they were fine. I recommend hand washing the neck warmers so they really should be fine. 🥰
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

Don’t understand your comment but thank you for watching 😉
Hi, there. Your link to your Episode 1 navigates me to Episode 3. I’m unable to find the elusive first episode, if you would kindly furnish me with the link. Many thanks.
Sorry for the confusion. I think I figured out what happened. As far as the button videos go, it looks like there were only two. Here's the link to that playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3yopdimGveKBJ8_A3ck2_b.html. I think what happened is that I started a playlist doing mashups with jewelry and paper craft. This video was the third in that series but then I did a part 2 in the button making which is in this playlist. I'll have to see if I can find the earlier two episodes in the mashup series. I may have deleted them as I am trying to redo these videos because ICE Resin is no longer available. I am now using a UV resin in its placed want to do new videos.
I don’t know if I missed it but how many layers did you use of the cardboard.
I usually use at least three. It really depends on the thickness of the material you are using and how thick you want your buttons. You'll have a fourth layer with what you're using on top for the decorative part and the thickness of that decorative layer may determine how many cardboard layers you want. I'm also using a different resin product now because ICE Resin has been discontinued. The one I'm using now is a UV resin called Piccassio. I'll be redoing these videos at some point but in the meantime here's a link: Piccassio UV Resin: amzn.to/41DHHVP
Can these buttons be used on garments? Are they waterproof? Thanks.
Yes. I did a wash test and the held up fine. You just have to make sure all the edges are covered. Ice Resin is no longer available and I have not tested the new product I'm using to see if it is also waterproof but I'm assuming it is. I'm now using Picassio amzn.to/3QW2oYR.
@@heartandsoulfuldesign thanks!
How do you do the shanks????
You'll have to watch the video where I do share the entire process. I go over this at about 1:03.
Why do you use a two part resin instead of UV resin?
I actually use UV resin now. The product I used in this video is no longer available. I actually started with making resin jewelry many years ago and when I was introduced to the art, this was the product I used. When I started doing other things like junk journals, I was looking for a way to use the products and skills I already had and combine them with paper craft. I find that UV resin is much faster so your question makes total sense to me. 😉
@@heartandsoulfuldesign good to know, I wasn’t sure if there was an advantage to one product over another. I started with epoxy resin crafting s few years ago and while I loved that the possibilities are really cool, over all, I hated it bc it was so messy and required sooo many additional products (molds, inks, pigment powders, inserts, inlays, shimmers, glitters, etc etc etc). I am a person of very limited means and a craft that constantly costs so much isn’t for me but I have recently started making paper beads and buttons seam like a fun thing to add to that. I do crochet and I have shied away from making things that require buttons bc I hate to spend money on more things so I can see me definitely going down a rabbit hole with this! 😂
I knit neck warmers with buttons and this is one reason I started making buttons….so that mine would be unique to others.
@@heartandsoulfuldesign you showed few in the video and they were lovely.
I usually make purses and stuffies so homemade buttons would be a great
resource for closures and eyes!!
What size gauge is the wire you used?
I'm not sure the exact size because I used some wire that came from a craft store like Michael's and it's not labeled with the gauge. I'm going to guess 18 or 20.
Is there a reason you are not using UV resin? It's quick to dry and seems perfect for small projects
Hi Veronique. A couple of reasons actually. I was trying to find a way to marry my jewelry techniques with paper craft and use what I have. I don't have all the UV resin materials, lamp, etc. and I'm not sure if it would dome like my jewelry resin and allow me to resin the edges, etc. which in the case of my jewelry resin, makes the buttons waterproof and completely sealed. The UV resin would definitely make this project faster so I may have to invest in the materials one of these days and give it a try. ❤️
@@heartandsoulfuldesign I have been watching many UA-cam videos and I think UV is a good alternative. I have no experience with resin but want to make my own buttons. I think I will go the UV route. A UV lamp only costs a few $. As far as I can tell, it domes just as well.
I wonder if the buttons survive washing in a washing machine. The holes being drilled afterwards, doesn't the water get in?
I make buttons with a shank so there are no holes. I’ve only tested the shank style. I may invest in UV materials myself at some point and try it out. I sure do like the quick aspect of the UV. Good luck with your buttons.🥰
@@heartandsoulfuldesign that's a better idea! I will try with shanks. Looking forward to your UV resin experience 😉
I have been making buttons based off your videos, but UV resin was what I had on hand, and I must say!!! Ooh la la! Lovely results and uv domes really nicely 😘 Thank you for all the inspiration!
I realize that this video is 2 yrs old, but have you tried uv resin? It probably would cut the drying time.
Hi Sandra. Thank you. I did get this advice from someone else early on and did purchase some to try. I haven't tried it yet...I seem to be constantly moving on to other things. At the time I was trying to see how I could "use what I have" and combine my jewelry making hobby with my new paper crafting hobby. I definitely think the uv resin will be faster and easier but will want to do the laundry test to be sure it's the best choice. 🥰
The biggest problem I ser with UV resin is the smell 🤢
@@estudiojac2424 Yes, it is a problem. I wear an N5 mask and am considering a respirator mask. I also use gloves to keep it off my skin. And I wear my hair back so I don't accidently swipe through my hair with the resin.
@Estúdio JAC I forgot to add I do this work under or near an exhaust fan.
Designer paper name plzzz
Some that I used were designer wrapping papers and I don't know the designer or name. Some were single craft sheets from Michaels and some were Tim Holtz 8x8 Idea Abandoned.
