I bought this lesson. It works on smaller scale characters too.
You just have to get the proper size Christmas ornament. The tricky part is the resin magnifies the print.

Beautiful effect.

Oh man I've always wanted to know

[@ashtonhartley2662]

Thank you for going over the health risks of some of these materials. A lot of kids that are starting out don't know about these dangers. ❤

[@ashtonhartley2662]

[@lindada1111]

Ooh 😯💕

[@lindada1111]

That was amazing thank you so much 💐❤️❤️❤️

[@christospit]

And what are you doing for bubbles?

[@ashtonhartley2662]

Either a vacuum chamber after mixing or a hair dryer for the bubbles that rise too the surface

Muchas gracias por la enseñanza, es una pena que no entienda nada, seria genial que pusierais subtítulos en español, creo que, ademas, ganaríais seguidores😉

[@lindada1111]

Does the option work to translate subtitles?

[@j.m.m.4258]

@@lindada1111 no, no hay en español, los vídeos sólo tienen opción de inglés o "sin subtítulos".

I cant believe you didnt show the finished product. What a let down.
