Please share more about this 3M double sided adhesive you use! What exactly is it called? Do you have a link for it? I'm having trouble identifying which to use on Amazon! Thank you for the awesome video!
Beautiful earrings, but hard to follow for someone like me who doesn't know English. It would be nice to be able to have the eight titles in the tutorial. I don't know for example what kind of plastic sheet you used for the shape. Thank you if you can help me.
Hello Anna Maria! I always post complete tutorials for the projects in my videos in the Project Library at little-windows.com, so please follow this link to see close-up photos, find more details and tips for this project, and see a list of links to all materials I used. I hope you enjoy our collection of projects and products made for your resin creating! Thank you for asking :) fran@little-windows.com
This is brilliant. M curious can you use cellophane or normal scrapbook paper? If so how would you get the backside sealed so it's not just exposed paper? Thanks!
You are a very good instructor, I have watched most of your videos, I would buy almost everything in your shop if I could afford it. Alas I will have to settle for piece by piece. I cannot wait to try out my mold and doming tray. I think I will have to get the starter kit and dichro kit next! This has given me an idea for something I would like to try, I hope I can find time to make it happen!
I just started working with resin a couple months ago, and have found your videos are the most helpful for great tips, tricks, and tutorials. Thank you for sharing! I ordered some supplies from your shop and love them, especially the doming tray; a world of possibilities has opened up! My only issue is the sleepless nights-you've allowed so much room for creativity that the ideas don't stop, haha. ;) One question: I ordered polyester resin prior to discovering your shop. Would these techniques translate easily to polyester resin?
+Fran Valera I tried it with the polyester resin, and it doesn't work for doming. The heat from the resin makes the paper curl, so all my pieces are warped. It's kind of a neat effect, but not what I was going for, haha. Live and learn! I bought some of the Little Windows resin and am remaking my pieces. Love your products! And I can't believe how fast shipping is. Thank you! I'm sure I'll be making purchases regularly. :)
Hi Fran, these are beautiful and I am going to give them a go. Can you tell me if I get a sticky residue from the tape, what is the best way to remove it. I will order some amazing tape, but until it arrives I will just have to use my scotch tape. Thanks and cheers Rosie.
+Rosie Donnelly Hi Rosie! You can use acetone, just be sure you have great ventilation - that stuff is stinky and not healthy to breathe. Have lots of fun creating :)
cool stuff....could you pull this resin into super fine strings to use as clear liquid strings of saliva on a model and would they eventually set hard? thank you :)
Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing so interesting ideas... so the point is "mixing" ...beautiful and versatile Little-Windows Brilliant Resin "mixed" with sparkling Dichroic-film (Dicho-ISH Supplies) and Resin Color Film (Jewel Color or Pale Tints version) ...for a more full sparkling, shimmering... (and all american words ending in -ing meaning light and brilliant!) pendants, earrings, rings and all kind of creations that suggests your fantasy! The possibilities are neverending!
Hi I Love your work and instruction is very clear. I just have a question. I noticed you apply resin only to one side. Do you leave the other side without resin or you apply to the other side as well. Thank you
Hello Rezvan, sorry for the delayed response, you won't be able to do this technique with both sides domed because the pieces will be nice and pliable at about 12 hours, but if you then flip them and add resin to the back, then wait another 12 hours for that side to set up, the first side will then be too hard to shape. I hope that saves you time experimenting :) - Fran
Hi Fran long time did not hear from you i am still interested in the larger resin thank you for the information can you please give me the prices for the with shipping cost to i really hope you are fine and your family hope to hear from you soon god bless and take care
Hello Raquel! I'm just following up to be sure you received my email with pricing for our Designer Sets? If not please let me know and I'll be happy to resend. Thank you :) - Fran
This looks really cool, and I'm wondering if it'll work with the kind of resin that I have. I know that after 24 hours thinner layers are bendable, but after 48 it's hard. I've never tried using it with the iridescent sheets in this video though. I do have one suggestion, that you put a link to where you can buy the supplies you use in your video description.
Hi Magik Dust! Sorry your message was trapped in a holding area. Have you had a chance to try this technique with the resin you have on-hand? Thanks for the suggestion, your thoughts are welcome :) You can find all of the products I use in this tutorial at little-windows.com Have fun creating!
I actually haven't tried this yet. I ment to after I saw your video, but I had completely forgotten that I wanted to try it. I don't have a very good memory LoL. I did do something else with the reason I have that makes me think that it will work for this though, so Thank you for the link :)
Hi Fran can you please tell me if the resin measurement are always the same I am having a hard time with this resin it is clear cast 7050 I bought before I brought your every time it comes out sticky and it don't come out of the mole
Hi Raquel, in case we didn't talk about this via email, since that's not our product you'll need to chat with the maker, but it may not be appropriate for use in projects like this. Every resin has a different chemistry and intended application, you may want to save that for another sort of project, or it may be beyond its shelflife. Mose epoxies have a 6month-1 year shelf life to perform as intended. Our Brilliant Resin is best used in about a year, but will be functional for 3-5 years if stored as directed on the labels. Let me know if I can be of help in any other way :) fran@little-windows.com
this is what I need...thanks u so much for ur video... I can see my future success in acc is starting from here.. Wish me luck asap.. Jesus Bless u,, sis...
Hello! It's much harder to do this with twisted pieces, because if the first side sets up before you dome the back, it won't be twistable. You could make 2 pieces, stick them back-2-back, then twist or shape them as you'd like, while the resin is still bendable. Hope that helps :)
I'm trying to understand why one layer of film is not enough to support the resin. What happens if just one layer is used? Could the film be placed directly on a silicone mat instead of the doming tray for more support? Maybe use some double sided tape to make sure it stays put on the mat while doing the first pour? Then move to doming tray when it's time to pour the other side. Or is a certain thickness needed for a shaped substrate for some reason? Maybe so the resin doesn't run off the edge?
Hello Creative Planet Janet! There are some different pieces in this tutorial, if you use Resin Color Film it can be domed on a single layer, but the Texture Film is just too floppy to support resin in a single layer, so you need to double it up. You can also use clear packing tape to give it more support instead of 2 layers of film. The purpose of the Doming Trays is to support your cut out pieces, while creating a clearly defined edge so the resin knows where to stop flowing. Brilliant Resin is perfect for jewelry and small decorations like these, the surface tension will keep it from flowing over the edge, as long as you have clear edges. If you try to dome anything on a flat surface the resin can't tell where to stop and will flow off and under your piece, not forming the nice rounded edges you get on the Doming Tray. If you have a look at this tutorial it'll make more sense: www.little-windows.com/blogs/project-center/embossed-dichro-ish-film-earrings Let me know if I can be of help in any other way :) fran@little-windows.com
The company that used to make this tape went out of business :( However, you can use our new Resin Backer Film the same way, here's a link: www.little-windows.com/collections/adhesives/products/no-residue-resin-backer-film-12-pack
+Asid Mab Hello Asid Mab, yes you sure can. Before you begin, have a look at this how-to video that's all about glitter in resin. ua-cam.com/video/Ml0fsMoRZck/v-deo.html (or search UA-cam for Resin Glitter Fun) Have fun creating and let me know how your pieces turn out :)
Sorry for any confusion, on some I'm using our Texture Film, the colored ones use our Resin Color Film, both can be found at www.little-windows.com/pages/shop
Mel M Hi Mel! I'm not sure as I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. You'll just have to experiment a bit to see what happens to the look of the paper when it's coated with resin, could be awesome!
Hello, thanks for your comment. You certainly could, but I've found these thin wraps leave wrinkle marks and dents, and they don't have quite the holding power that the Amazing Tape does. So if you don't mind these things you can certainly use what you have on hand, just be sure to wrap it around at least 3 times to give your shape a better chance of holding as it hardens. Have fun making :) - Fran
Oooh, I know, and I think it gets amplified in the video recording. I've since learned selective volume control, so hopefully you won't be tortured with my more recent videos! Thanks for the feedback :) - Fran@little-windows.com

you can probably wrap them into the desired shape by covering with some cling wrap .. love them

Beautiful! Can you use rubbing alcohol to get rid of the scotch tape residue?
+Garden Guru You can try that, if it doesn't work try a bit of acetone on a cotton swab :)
Like this idea. can you tell me, it looks like you only apply the resin to one side. Can you confirm that is right
