You should be aware that the resin is going to very quickly Amber and your photo will fade out in the sunlight.
Thanks Judy - yes, I had advised my brother about that - he insisted that he wanted me to make them and said he will be trying an automotive UV protectant on these pieces to see if it helps lengthen their lifespan... if not , we will try something else for the photo.
@@LiaDiaDesigns could she use resin like I use for my cups that has uv protection in it or wouldn't that work??
I actually love the bubble lol
You can laminate photos, seal it with modge podge, any spray sealant will work, or u can use clear nail polish (I prefer fast dry top coat). It truly is best to seal photos used in resin as over time resin can dull out photos. It does not matter what paper they are printed on as long as they are properly sealed. I would never not seal a photo that's just asking for future fading. Anyway just trying to be helpful. Loved the vid!
So modge podge will work to seal?
@@nunyabusiness1999 it does
@@alidadebruyn3560 thank you so much
@@nunyabusiness1999 you welcome
I just thought you could add a feather to the back
I get photos printed at office works here in Australia and get it done on say 220gsm synthetic paper. I then use some sealer/varnish if on coasters, then resin. I have some done 7 yrs ago and still so clear and no fading.
I usually just spray the photo with Krylon Clear coat dries in 10 min seals photos beautifully
😍💖 that sounds great!
Never thought about that! I use it to seal Mandala painted stones! Tips are always appreciated from LiaDia fans too! 😊
That's what I use too...so far it works great
Afraid it would blow away with sir pressure from spray can…😮
Losing a pet is the worst! Sorry about your loss. She seemed like a sweet little bird and she was obviously very well loved. You’re a wonderful kind spirit for doing this. It turned out very beautifully. Much love 💖 🐦
💖 thank you so much Evetta
Aww, so sorry your family lost a great, sweet bird. You were very blessed, they can be finicky sometimes! Cute way to remember her.
💖🥰thank you Melissa
Modge podge is amazing especially for photos that aren't glossy. I especially use it when I print and cut with my cricut.
Hi just doing one at the moment so I'm very glad of your video thank you for your advice
Ohhhh, we used to have cockatiels too. So sweet. We had a male that looked very much like Tanja. His name was Little Juan. He loved to steal bites of the kids' waffles in the morning. So sorry for your family's loss. Very sweet pieces. xoxoxo
Thank you Stephanie🥰 Little Juan is such a cute name! Yes, Tanja always wanted to be in the middle of everything and she'd squak if she felt she was missing out on something or someone lol, it was always so entertaining to witness how much like a human she acted.
That bird is so adorable. Love this and thank you 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Oh I love this idea 😍 myself and family members have pets that have passed away and also have pets now that these would make perfect little memory gifts for everyone 💖 I've only got my 2 cockatiels now which are currently staying with my mum until I get my own place. I love the glitter sneaking around the photo it just adds that little bit of sparkle to Tanja 😍
💖🥰thank you, actually I kind of like the unexpected glitter as well 💕
Don't know how I missed this treasure. Very helpful. Thank you!
Awe I love that you call them pocket hugs! I call them pocket fidgets in my shop lol
Beautiful,thank you for showing us. Sorry for your loss
💖Thank you Jacqueline
Love the glitter
Thank you for posting this. We just recently lost our family pet bird as well, and I got interested in resign for the same reason as this video, to make a memorial for everyone in the family. Thank you so much for sharing. What you said about birds is so true, they are like members of the family.
They look beautiful
Oh wow. Such a great idea. I like the ones that have the glitter also! Good job. Beautiful work!
I like the varnished piece the best.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. She was a beautiful bird. This is a wonderful idea for special keepsakes and I appreciate your tutorial. Thank you very much for all the details. I love the outcome.
🩷🩷🩷🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful, love how you did it.
Those are very pretty! I’m just now starting. I’m excited!
Tanja sounds like she was so loved and such a delight - I know she'll be missed - my condolences Nadia. 🙏💞 This was a very helpful video - I recently did a photo as a requested memorial keepsake (I asked them to have the photo laminated - since they had one, prior to my placing it in resin - for fear of ruining the photo). Although it turned out well, your process is such a better option with the gloss varnish! I let the photo cure in clear resin, then did the remainder backing resin (such as how you did with glitter resin).
💖thank you Pam, she was💕 I'm glad this was helpful... and pouring in 2 layers is a great idea as well!
Omg beautiful! You did a great job!
Liadia you are awesome. I love your videos so much. I trust your advices and tutorials. I keep sharing your videos with friends and family always. You are talented big time. God bless your heart.
Thank you! 🥰 You are so kind. I'm so happy that you find my tutorials helpful and that you share them with your family and friends. I appreciate your support of my art and videos 💕
@@LiaDiaDesigns yes sweetheart I meant each word. My biggest dream to do one piece of art like yours but I am very busy with my disabled child. Soon one day I will be able to do something but I don’t know how soon 🥰🥰🥰. Keep the great beautiful job 👍👍
A must try💛
i like it with the gitter round it xx
I’m glad somebody’s gonna teach this because I’ve been wanting to do it but not knowing how to do it and I don’t wanna ruin the picture because I want to make something special for my fiancé
So glad you like this video. Some people have found that laminating their photo helped with better protection from resin soaking into the photo. I didn't have that issue, I believe because my resin is very fast setting/ curing... so may be something to consider.
Fabulous love it
Thank you so much!🥰
Adorable 🥰
Thank you for this. I would like to take some pictures from when my kids were little to give them in resin. They would get a kick out of them.
Great video! Really helpful, and such a good idea😊🤗
Sorry for your and your families loss, they turned out beautiful 😍 ❤
💖thank you Michelle
She look so cute. Love it 😍💕💕
She really does, such a sweet picture 💕
I love your channel. Lovely calming voice and AWESOME art and art tutorials 😍
🥰💖thank you so much!
HELLO , IT CAME OUT PRETTY , GREAT JOB .
This was a good experiment!
💖🤩🥰thank you
HI Nadia, A really Beautiful looking bird I am an animal lover I had a few tears 😢 when you said your brothers bird had past away but I thought it was so lovely of you to do a Forever keepsake something to Treasure For ever 👍❤️Lin
Thank you so much Lin🥰 Yes, Tanja was part of the family for almost 12 years, we will miss her very much.
Very nice and I’m sorry for the loss of their beloved Parakeet. They truly are family members 🙏🏻
💖thank you, they really are
pour a resin heart and then you have a perfect template that will last forever and be easier to handle.
the one that is varnished is the best.
🥰thank you
Very nice... I use polycrylic varnish...works great. I always coat things. Then I know it will not have to be remade. My cocktail looked just like yours. Her name was Baby. They are such a part of the family... hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
Thank you Sheryl😍 Yes, I've heard polycrylic works as well...but I prefer the water based varnish so I don't have to wear a mask/respirator while I work on my pieces (except when working with resin of course)...trying to minimize the harsher chemicals/fumes in my studio lol. And yes, cockateils are amazing.🥰
@@LiaDiaDesigns The Minwax polycrylic is water base. Cleans up with soap and water. You do not have to wear a mask.
@@gourdhead22 ooh nice! That's great to know! I had heard the non-water based ones being recommended... so I'm glad you're using the water based one with success!
2 coats of spray varnish works too.❤
If you were to put a layer of resin on the back of the photo mold let that harden then add your sparkles to the last layer of resin it won't mix with the front
What color printer did you use? So pretty!
Don’t know how I got here but loved video love your voice.
🥰thank you Tina! Welcome!💕
Thank you. I needed to learn this. Will be uting another gloss warnish because i cant get the one u use,here in Norway. But im sure it will work out fine
Linda Marie ❤
🥰thank you, sounds great
So sorry for your loss ,as I have two birds and love them so much so i became sad at that point of video but making these special memories always keep them near to us ❤️
I would like to tell that I saw your video on Pinterest and love it so watched on UA-cam today .You make such beautiful video thank you 😊
I have one question,how to stop the floating oh photos on coaster or big mould and how to avoid bubbles while pouring second layer after sticking the photo on the first layer?
Hi. I was thinking maybe once you place the photo in, let it dry, then add a layer of glitter resin or pigmented resin, that way the glitter or pigment won’t run into the photo. I love your idea. Thanks for the video.
Yes, you can definitely do that keep the separation...I don't have that kind of patience for these little pieces lol
How long can one wait between layers of resin?
6 hrs
Beautiful. What paper did you use please to print the photo on
We have a cocktail we've had him about 25 yrs now his name is Tookie got him when he was a baby, I was the one that was home with him so when he couldn't see me he would say " come here pretty",he is spoiled needless to say,we started raising them & Tookie,Tye & Tigger were in the same cage everytime the Andy Griffith theme would come on Tookie would begin then Tigger then Tye would end it,but sadly Tigger & Tye died & Tye was my baby he was so sweet & loveable Tookie has gotten onery in his old age,but he's the same color as yours ,I also have a Latino Love Bird,.😊
make one a necklace so your mom could wear it and remind remind her of your precious bird
I know the bubble wasn’t supposed to be there but I love the bubble also instead of glitter have you thought to spray clear coat on bird seed and then use it instead of the glitter? They are super cute
That's s cute idea!
I'd use a lightbox or a window and do on the back
I’d like you to drill into bubble from the edge and fill it with resin to correct the void. It would be a great how to video I think.
I will consider it, though I've actually grown quite fond of the bubble placement on this one... maybe on another piece. 😊
Have you tryed using a white color pencils or a eye liner but white ?
The cheapest way I laminate photos is with shipping tape on both sides of the photo. I have to trim the border to the right size.
What an awesome idea! They turned out so cute!! I am new to using resin so this may seem like a dumb question. Can I use photos I've already had printed from say a CVS or is there a certain type of paper I should print them on?
💕so glad you like it! Yes, professionally printed photos are best for this
@@LiaDiaDesigns thank you! I can't wait to try it!
I think the glitter getting into photo actually gave it a uniqueness. What is it u kept picking up as u were doing the time lapse? Hair dryer?
It's a heat gun .. helps to get rid of bubbles
Have a question can you use candy mold for resin making
Great vid love the little bird. Glad the crack was cut out.
Rip in bird heaven. Will the resin fade or change the colours over time.
I’m sorry to hear about your family’s pet. Prayers going up for you.
💕thank you Cindy Lou
Modge Podge makes bubbles in resin as it cures. I use Canon Luster Photo paper in my ink jet printer. After it's printed, I use a heat gun to set the ink. No sealing is done prior to putting them in resin.
The bubble kinda makes it look like a snow globe type thing. I luv the glitter sneaking around.
I have a question about the glass paint... does the brush matter? I was making a stain glass looking sun catcher on acetate n it looked a bit streaky. So I put a second coat on the other side. It doesn't look anything like I wanted now.
Yes! I actually didn't mind the location of the bubble on the one😊 What type of glass paint are you using? Any of the ones I've tried tend to smooth themselves out while drying...unless it's been painted on very thin. The brush shouldn't make a difference
@@LiaDiaDesigns I used the pebeo vitrail
@@mandicoleman7433 really? I've never had an issue with them.. maybe your initial coat was a bit too thin, so the paint dried quickly and the streaks didn't get a chance to smooth out? Not sure... but I'd do a little test and add a bit more than you initially did and see if that helps...
@@LiaDiaDesigns okie dokie thanks
Have you tried a spray varnish like Triple Thick or Krylon?
I haven't, as I try to stay away from aerosols as much a possible... but I've heard it works great🥰
Could you please give me a link as to where you buy your acetate? Love your work!
Thank you! Yes, I've now added the links to the description under the video, but will try to post them here as well.😊

@@LiaDiaDesigns Thank you!
Did the photos get printed on inkjet or lazer
What kind of printer did you use and did you use photo paper or printer paper? Sorry if it was asked already.
Can I ask when use the heat gun when do you use and how does it help 😊
Heat gun helps to pop surface bubbles and mix colors (if you want to mix your colors)... and it's also used for ocean waves
These were sooo cute... 1st off I thought the little bubble was cute, my dumb self would have made a thought bubble with her saying something out of it...lol.
Next do u think the varnish could have stopped the glitter from seeping under like it did with the others???
💖thank you! I actually like the bubble as well! 🥰 I don't think the varnish stopped the glitter, but I believe I did put somewhat less glitter on that piece, so that could be why it didn't seep through as much.
How long those it takes for it to dry
Resin cures, not dries, as it's a chemical reaction, not water or oil based. The curing time will vary depending on the resin you use. Some cure within hours, others take days.
Does anyone know what the photos are printed on? Is that just a regular photo that was processed and printed? It can't be printed on paper since it seems so sturdy. Any help appreciated.
Professionally printed at a photo printing center
Was it a Lazerjet photo prints or Inkjet photo you use, please?
Professionally printed at a photo printing center
they came out awesome but maybe next time laminate the photo before you put it in and you don't have to go through all that you know painting the sealer on or anything
Can you put d glitter the next day...so it doesn't seep thro'
Oh definitely!🥰
Did y9u use ink jet printer or lazer
These were professionally printed, as mentioned in the video
Ok thank you
@@LiaDiaDesignsBut what technology?
Why don't you put the image the right side up inside the mould?
To slow to much waffling unnecessary
You may like my latest videos then, no talking at all!!😅😅😅
You’re brave not wearing PPE or gloves… 🫣 beautiful project tho
When mixing and using uncured resin, I ALWAYS use gloves and PPE... I hope you enjoyed the video
You talk way too much! But, good idea
You're free to check out my videos with no talking at all!😁
You can speed up the video or not watch but she doesn’t talk too much.
Sorry for the loss of your pet , I wanted to learn how to do one for my pet , can I just say though that you talked way too much in the beginning I was getting bored and wished you would speed up a bit, sorry !
