Very cute and an interesting technique! But why on earth mix so much resin when you are literally just going to use drops of it? Anyway, they turned out great! Tyfs!
Those look pretty neat. I clean off my stir sticks well before the resin hardens by scraping it on the side of the cup so I can use it again without any problems. Also I use my mixing cups again by putting a toothpick or half a popsicle stick in the leftover resin while it is still uncured. Then when it hardens I can just pull on the pick or stick to cleanly pull out the leftover resin. I mix resin often though so I don't want to have to buy these items as often. I suppose if I didn't mix it so much then just tossing them wouldn't be a big issue except for the waste in a landfill. Soon as it gets a bit warmer I will be adding resin to my entire kitchen floor. I am going to need a bucket to mix that in though. :p - Heidi
What makes your resin better than, say, castin' craft resin, or any others? I can mix only 2 drams of it and have a normal chemical reaction. Apparently, with yours, you need to do an Oz each time for the reaction to occur. I have some generic resin, meant for water, that works with small amounts too. Just wondering.
That is a really good question. Some of the qualities that you want to be looking for in resin, especially a resin that is used in making jewelry, is the resin's ability to self dome and off gas. The Nunn Design resin does both of these with excellence. The self doming allows you to use the resin on a flat surface and create a high dome without the resin over pouring. The ability to off gas is important because it allows the resin bubbles to rise to the surface and pop, making your resin clear and translucent. It is unfortunate that the formula requires an ounce in order to make sure that the resin cures properly, but with some planning, you can make good use of the full cup when doing a pour.

Just adorable Julie! Very pretty and easy too! I'm thinking it's time for me to send off another Beadaholique order for some bezels and ball chain! :)
Do you have any replacement components since the kits are retired? Thank you!
Hi! Is there a specific kit or component you are looking at? If so, I can try to help you find replacement components. Thank you!
@@beadaholique the components in this video are what I'm looking for. Thank you!
@@beadaholique or comparable 😊
@@beadaholique any suggestions?
Very pretty. I love it.

I, also, reuse sticks and cups. However, I wipe clean while wet with paper towel. Works very well.
Nadine Girouard I tried that for a while but found it a bit messy so that is when I switched it up. :) Glad it works for you.
