Hey guys! I've received *SO MANY* comments about wearing a mask while mixing resin.
As you can tell from this video, I'm not wearing one. Since shooting this video, I have learned about using PPE while handling resin.
Always make sure to read your product labels before working with any potentially hazardous materials.
Thanks everyone!
Ciao signora felice già con questa introduzione metti serenità....ora seguirò il tuo tutorial che mi sembra già promettente..
The faster you stir, the worse the bubbles will be. I love that you weigh your resin for accuracy.

Go for it Kat! There are so many different things you could do with different colors or patterns! And they always turn out different because the alcohol ink kinda does what it wants.
You have a Blessed talent

I mix slowly at a 3 full minutes, it greatly reduces bubbles.
Wow that was actually pretty interesting, looks amazing!

Thank you for being so detailed with your instructions! I'm so excited to try my alcohol ink. I'm new to this so it's super helpful to have someone like you show me what to do!
Awe that means so much! That’s why I do this!
Thank you for this 💖💖
You are absolutely welcome! I hope it helps and inspires more people to get into their craftiness!!
Hiya,
The coasters turned out stunning.
Just a little tip:
The alcohol ink makes the resin level sink a bit and due to this you get the rough edges
What I usually do, when using alcohol ink, is adding more clear resin when it's almost cured. Like this you don't have to sand them in the end =)
Great tip!! Thank you!!
@@HappyCraftingLady you're very welcome 💗
Sono veramente belli e particolari come non ho mai visto.....bravissima signora felice ❤
So pretty 😍
Thanks! I am glad you like them!
Nice job. They are really Beautiful
Thanks a bunch! I’m glad you like them!!
I'm glad I was high for this.
always use sativa, not indica, for crafting
Yesssss omg here I am one year later, also high. This lady gots me HYPED LOL
I love it 😍❤️
Thank you!!
Gosh that’s pretty 😍
Thank you so much!
I like the clear edges
Thanks! I do too!
So so beautiful 😍🙏
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you like them!! 😍😍😍
This is amazing. They look so different from the beginning project.
Thank you! I do find that the inks and resin kinda have a mind of their own!
dude what, these coasters are nuts. super awesome stuff! saw this on reddit :) gonna show my mom this, she'd love it.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great tutorial!
Thanks!
I love your hair, lady! You have great taste in colors 👍👌
Hey thanks a ton! Took a lot of time for me to pick the perfect color to represent who I am as a person!
Love those coasters, I will do this for my first set
Awesome!!! I hope they are amazing!!!
@@HappyCraftingLady thank you 😊
very nice
I never thought to just measure it on digital scales in one cup. So clever. I will be doing this from now on.
That’s actually not the best way to do it. I discovered sometime after making these that the parts don’t weigh the same! It’s better to measure out the amounts in different cups and mix together. Less room for error.
Oh I love this! Keep up the good work! I subscribed to your channel. ❤
Thanks Mandy! Welcome to my channel! I hope you like it here!
The speed that you’re stirring the epoxy is creating all the bubbles, slowly stir 🙂
nice one !!!!
These are breathtaking. I like how you know your techniques well. I also love the extra empty space, if only you poured more clear at the beginning, the 3d effect would look much stronger. And this is a very beautifully looking cosmic explosion. Keep up your creativity and keep inspiring us
Thank you so much! I absolutely love being able to share my passion for crafting with others!
Thanks for the tutorial! Awesome shirt! 😊
Thanks! I am a really big Ghibli fan! What's your favorite movie of theirs??
@@HappyCraftingLady That's a tough one! I'm going to say howl's moving castle! I haven't seen them all but next on my watch list is Porco Rosso and When Marnie was there!
@@alissacichon6792 Howls is my favorite movie! Though I love them all! The only one I dont really watch is Grave of the Fireflies. I just cant handle that one. Makes me so sad!
cute!
Thanks!
Seen the reddit post! Your gonna kill it on UA-cam! Keep goin :D
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I hear you do other crafty things! Love to watch you put together other projects :D
I do so much crafting! I am working on setting up a small resin jewelry video and doing some tile coasters at the moment! I also do resin tumblers and acrylic pour painting and I sew a little and I crochet and make hair bows... Never know what the day will bring!
They turned out so beautiful! I'm not very good at most crafts but I think I might give this a try for some gifts soon.
My only "critique" is it needs a bit more editing, but I think that will all get better in time anyway. So glad your husband shared this!
This was our very first video editing and I know there is a lot more we can learn about it! We will definitely be working on getting better with each video! Thanks for your helpful comments!
Dope
Glad you liked it!
Those are lovely. Really like how nicely you matched colours. Greetings from Ghibli fan x
Hello fellow Ghibli fan! I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I just came across this video..what a great, laidback style you have! You just took a very intimidating substance and made it possible for everyone to be successful! Good job!
Just as a heads up when I shot this video I was unaware about proper PPE for using resin. You should use a proper mask because resin can be toxic if breathed in! However it is awesome to create things with! Don’t let the mask intimidate you!
Thank you, that’s important advise. I am not new to resin as my husband and I are both artists who have used it a lot. I was just struck by your wonderful, easy demeanor and thought you did an excellent job of making it less scary for newbies.
Oh I thought you were saying you were a newbie! Thank you very much for your kind words! That’s exactly what I was hoping for!
Dropped by from your husband's post on reddit loved the video and subscribed with notifications on (: . And I'm totally gonna make these coaster for my mom
I would absolutely love pics of what you end up with!
Классно!!
Hi there, I really love this one. Is there a trick to not getting white blobs of ink sinking to the bottom and showing when you turn the coaster over?
I would say chances are you are having spots where you have the white drop and there is not already color on that spot. The trick is to drop the white alcohol ink right on top of the other colors. Any time it hits an empty spot is when you will get the white dropping down the way the colors do when you add the white to it! I hope this helps!
wow
Hoping a good wow! Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful My Friend like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit!
As a beginner I just made couple from a beginner kit with coaster molds and *powdered mica colors and gold flakes (still curing as I type). Also a heat gun. I see liquid alcohol ink has more pop with a lot less mess. I’ll buy that next but curious you opinion/advice on using silicon drops, UV resin, what brand resin is best and what tools best for making a space themed? My goal is a resin night light with galaxy. It can be done. It’s not rocket science 😉 I just need the right resin making chemical materials, colors, tools and galactic/level trial and error patience. Any advice with resin/tools? Thanks in advance and thanks for helpful vid!
love this. these are so fun. my friend and i like to use alcohol inks but we haven't tried this yet.
Give it a go! There are so many things that you can do with alcohol inks! I would love to see what you come up with!
Happy Crafting Lady so far it’s a tile that I’ve turned into a coaster, some really lame paintings in my office (done by me) and a few good ones (done by my friend!)
I love tile coasters! I am going to be doing some videos like that as well! I think there is so much that you can do with them!
Very informative video! Love the empty space you preserved with these. I was wondering what the outcome would be if you increased the depth of the mold?
It would really depend on a lot of things. The amount of inks. The temperature of your resin. The temperature of the room. The drops of the white… anything could cause a different effect!
I've never seen anyone beat resin like that.
I know right?? Lol I notice it now when I go back and watch my videos from almost a year ago. But when I first started (about a year ago) I didn’t really know that you shouldn’t do that. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
U were stirring that resin like u wanted bubbles haha 😆
I hear that a lot. Interestingly though I never have many issues with bubbles! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@HappyCraftingLady haha yea they are easy to get out it’s just funny watching u stir it like crazy haha it was fun
These turned out stunning! Will have to try this. Just a suggestion, when showing the finished coasters, either hold them a little back from the camera or refocus it. I really wanted to see the fine details but it was blurry. Thank you for sharing this with us, great idea. 🤗
Yes I am trying to work on that! This was my very first video and I wasn’t 100% on where to hold things. Honest I’m still learning cause I can’t see exactly when my hands are in the view! I’m so glad you like the coasters!
Wow, PLEASE wear a mask! your coasters are Stunning, I love the effect you got going there and hope when I try this it comes out as pretty as yours, I've just found your channel and I know I'll be following lots of your videos by the way, new subbie and of course hit the bell, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for checking out my videos! Good luck with your coasters!!
This is so cool! I’ve looked for someone experienced in working with resin that gives good tutorials, you should definitely do more, have you ever done bugs in resin?
Thank you so much for your support. It means so much to me!
I’ve considered doing something with butterflies...but like...where do you get the butterflies?!
Have you ever done something like that before?
@@HappyCraftingLady okay so I definitely want to see some bug crafts and you can find wholesale ones at bugsdirect or you can search for "unmounted insects" and find other ones.
Gonna be honest that sounds terrifying to me but definitely interested and will look into it some more!
Lovely but try slowing your stirring down as it will reduce the bubbles. You’re really ripping through that resin lol - not criticising just trying to be helpful
Thanks for the tip!
Pretty cool, now I only have to get the items, here in México is a little difficult to find some of them.
Greetings from here :D
Can you order things online? I have the links for everything I used in this video on amazon in the description. If you can order things online you are able to get everything to make the same types of coasters I made!
Nice! Have you tried the same thing but without whites? Will be the same effect?
Thank you for sharing this video. Do you cover the coasters and then take out OR just sit uncovered to cure?
Thanks for your comment! I currently leave the coasters open to cure however I have had issues with dust prior. I will probably look into covering them in the future.
Pretty.. thanks for sharing. May I ask if you have a link for the white.
There is a link for the white alcohol ink in a set in the description of this video! Good luck and happy crafting!!
Hi! Great video. When you pour the resin, how do you know if they will all be the same height?
Mostly I try to just eyeball it when I am pouring it in the mold. They do not usually come out exactly the same height so I should probably start doing something better.. however they tend to be pretty close so I don’t usually worry about it too much.
These are absolutely beautiful! I'm just starting to use resin and am very intimidated by it. I have some beautiful mica powders that I got from Arteza that I would like to experiment with. Have you done a video with the powders and resin? If so, where can I find it. Thanks so much for sharing.
I have not used that exact brand of mica powders but if you go to my channel page I have a keychain video I did recently that I used mica powders in resin to do! Hope that it helps!
Love love love these. I just did some for myself but was wondering do you sand them when ur done ? And apply mod.podge or acrylic sealer?
I did sand it down because there is a lip on the edge of the coaster when you take it out of the mold. However I could not get a super shiny gloss with the sanding so instead I added another layer of resin to clear up the cloudiness. In the future I think I will add a small layer in top before I take the coasters out to try to get rid of the lip without having to sand it down.
@@HappyCraftingLady you have that little lip because of the mold, applying a top layer while they're still in the mold won't help. Concave and convex surfaces, boring physics crap, blah blah blah. Basically you need to take them out of the mold and then add that top layer too get rid of the lip. An alternative solution would be basically what you did, sand the lip off, and when you're happy with the shape set it aside until you're next resin project because it's not worth mixing a separate batch for the little you'll need. Just dip a gloved finger in your resin and wipe a thin coat on the sanded surface. That same thing also works when you're using a mold that isn't shiny which leaves your resin dull as well. Beautiful coasters BTW! I'm having a little trouble getting the hang of the alcohol inks, you make it look so simple. Ah well, practice practice practice.
Erypretty❤😂
There are a lot of bubbles because of your stir method. When stirring resin use a silicone mixing stick and cup. Stir SLOWLY in one direction. This will greatly reduce bubbles. 👍🏻👍🏻 (Also, you should never use a torch with silicone molds.)
Thanks for the tip!
Have you tried making them in more than one layer? Can you paint, then cure and pour another layer and will they fuse together?
I have not personally tried this technique, however I can say from experience that the resin typically sticks to anything you put it on except the silicone on the molds! I might just have to try this idea out and post a video showing how it works!
Great video, thanks! What resin did you use?
The resin I used in this video is amazing clear cast!
Wow I love it. Please May I have a go at your technique please ?
Absolutely! My goal is to share ideas and creativity with others!
Hey there Happy Crafting Lady! I just sent your husband a response on Reddit, when he mentioned your channel. So here's my Expert-UA-camr-Connoisseur critique of your video that I sent to him:
1) Your wife has awesome hair color!
2) With that kind of hair color... I have to ask... and be honest now... was she ever at one point a Cyndi Lauper fan? Because if so, then so was I! Thus extra bonus points to her in my review!
(So many awesome memories of 1980's high school slow dances to Cyndi Lauper tunes... Time after Time...)
3) The end product was actually totally super awesome! Your wife is actually a true artist. Seriously. So yes: tons of points for her in my review, for her artistic abilities.
4) Unfortunately I'm going to have to reduce a few points due to the initial audio quality. But the ending audio quality perfectly fixed the problem. (So whatever she did at the end for microphone/audio was best.)
5) So... all in all... thumbs up! I also subscribed to her channel!
👀👀👀
These are beautiful. How much in fluid oz of resin did you use for 4’coasters ? Xx
I just rewatched in the video and I said 7.2 fluid ounces. As I don’t remember specifically... I would say that’s probably how much I did.
Do I NEED a torch or will a hairdryer set on hot work?. Thanks!
I have since stopped using a torch and started just spritzing the tops with rubbing alcohol to pop bubbles. The torch can add other problems I was unaware of.
