- Here is the detailed tutorial explaining how to use our 2 part shaker mold. The most common issue of using these molds are the air bubbles. So please read the subtitles for all the tips you need to know before you start the project and you will be able to make flawless shaker.
I recommend NOT to use UV resin if this is your first attempt, or you are a beginner on resin craft
*You MUST use gloves and silicone mat as mentioned in the video*

I started nail art before resin so I already had the UV & LED top coats (and a ton of other supplies lol) I still remember the first time I used them my led top coat on a resin piece that had come out matte, I was like, “can I do this? Yes I can!” 😋 they work better resin products I have tried! And no brush streaks! 🎀💜🍭
yes, nail products are pretty useful for resin crafts. I use a lot the nail top coat to glaze my resin pieces, it comes with the brush, so handy to use 😄
@@MiniatureSweetHK Will any nail top coat work with resin or just certain kinds? I was going to use the lighter method for bubbles, I suppose it would not be safe around nail products, aren't most of them flammable?
Me tooooo!
@Miss Eddie Blue Can we use UV nail top coat or UV nail base coat as UV resin
alex143 mason honestly I’m not sure if it can be used as resin, however I think recently I saw a nail art video where the girl did use UV nail products in a silicone mold cured them with the LED light then glued the little piece she made on her nail so I guess it works? I know for sure it works as a glaze/top coat. Maybe something thicker like a builder gel would be better? But I think resin & builder gel are around the same price. It’s super cheap on eBay & Aliexpress just search UV resin. Most of it is all made in the same factories just different companies buy it, stick their own label on & mark up the price.. I’ve used the Aliexpress & Ebay UV resin, it’s just as good as the resin from more expensive craft sites 😉
My first package arrived the other day, the quality of the product is fantastic. Will definitely be ordering more!
I have the exact same molds, bought them from somewhere around a year ago. The resin always had huge gaps and bubbles after placing the lid on and I got extremely frustrated. Maybe I'll succeed with this tutorial!
I must visit your store on my payday :D
That's why I prefer backed shakers
The best explanation ever,thanks very much
Great tutorial! I’m buying some of that clear top coat right away. Self leveling quick curing. Miracle product!
Hey i'm looking forward of getting the UV resin soon and i have the Sakura (cherry blossom) shaker mold i got from the mail from Etsy yesterday. Can't wait to try out making the resin shaker accessories. 😊💕🌸
These look adorable but I can’t afford to waste soooo much resin, but more importantly it’s not very environmentally friendly to throw away so much product. Isn’t there a more economical way of using your molds xxx
Maybe just use a different kind of shaker molds? I know these molds look pretty but I agree that it wastes so much resin :(
So pretty
I love this! Do you have a little moon mold? I would love to make Sailor Moon inspired shakers for key chains.
I know an Etsy shop that has amazing shaker molds! PunFunStudio has a lot of amazing molds and stuff
So happy I found you guys! I’m new to this hobby, and am also interested in polymer clay work, a bit. I placed a huge order at your store last week (don’t even know what got into me. Went a little crazy) Can’t wait to get started playing! I’ve been hearing lots of good things about your store.
Dziękuję za tutorial. Dowiedziałam się naprawdę wielu praktycznych rzeczy 👍
Beautifully done lovely n neat but how do you put the eye pin in there
Everyone is upset that resin is wasted, but no one comes up with the idea to simply reuse the overflowed resin. :D
Guys, just work on a flat silicone mat, scrape the overflowed resin into a cup, color it and put it into another mold.
This is great thank you :) Where do find a UV light that is stronger than the little cheap ones, they say the little cheap ones don't work?
So does all the scraps just go into the trash? Does it biodegrade or not?
omg, they are so cute!
Beautiful video
Thanks for the UV top coat trick :)
I was wondering if you could do a video about the findings/ bail/ eye pin molds? I'd like to buy one but I want to see what the finished product looks like first, like how the eye pin looks like embedded in the charm and stuff. Thank you (◕‿◕)
I really want to get that heart mold, but the shipping charge is CRAZY!!!
I've been seeing these molds from online stores and have wondered for so long how the heck they work (since they look different from other shaker molds). Looks complicated so might give up on it 😓 great tutorial though
Where are the moods from please? I couldn’t find name or link
What can I use in replace of the uv top coat?? It's sold out on the website 😭
Why do you prefer the use of Epoxy Resin compared to UV Resin? What are the pros and cons between the two when creating these shaker charms? Thank you
Dragon Alchemy Epoxy Resin can come in bigger sizes for cheaper. That’s great since this method wasted a lot of the resin. Plus, Epoxy Resin has a great work time of around 40 minutes which is perfect for beginners. I recommend the Seriously Creative channel for more information :)
Does your mold already come with a hole? To put the syringe in?
Nice explanation
Awesome thanks for sharing that. Mine kept leaking bc I wasn’t putting resin on both sides to attach. 🥰
So Cute!!
This is beautiful
Omg it turned out so cute, but what if you want to turn it into a keychain? How do u attach the eye Pin
?
I would put the pin in the hole and seal it with the pin in it. :)
Is there anything else that can be used to glue it together and seal it if we don't have UV resin? What about super glue?
Superglue tends to turn yellow with time i saw it with many resin charms I made
@@melissapagliarulo7323 Oh, okay, thank you.
Btw, I bought from your store received the package already.
Just a tip if anyone is finding the UV resin is tacky after curing put it out in the sun for a few minutes due to different climates resin cures differently in different places.
Or just leave it under the lamp for the appropriate amount of time.
Love the tutorial. Just want to ask. How come you are not using your own uv resin? Or is your own exactly the same as the one you are using in the video?
This is an old video that we made back in 2017 for our buyers who purchased the shaker mold, we just published it now. We no longer sell the UV resin in the video.
@@MiniatureSweetHK ah makes sense. Thank you so much.
Hello
I just came across your video as I'm trying to find out how to make shaker charms and keychain I have a round one and the oyster one but i don't know how to use 2 part resin about how much to put in the cups as ummm my mathes not that good 😕😔 so can you please help

What ratio is the resin? Or what brand is it?
@@JBKonsCreations hello
Its 3:1 ratio
Xx
@@bernadettemurray8321 Ok so (for example) you need to pour out 5ml of the smaller bottle and 15ml of the bigger bottle. How ever much you pour out of the smaller bottle you need to use 3 times that amount of the bigger bottle. You can always get a plastic teaspoon and use that to help you, that's what I did when I first started out. So if you do use the teaspoon pour out 1 teaspoon of the smaller bottle then mix in 3 tsp of the bigger bottle. Hope that helps and makes sense.
@@JBKonsCreations thank you so so much I really appreciate it xxx
You have to know if the ratio is by weight or by volume, too. Just read the description and use a calculator. ;)
I have the exact same top you used here, every time I use it, it stays sticky and doesn’t look any were near as good or clear. I have used a very thin layer and a thick layer. It always comes out the same. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong? Your looks a bit thinner then mine.
I can think of 3 things you could try. Warming the resin by putting the container in warm water to thin it, try curing it for longer or your uv torch may not be strong enough to properly cure the top coat. Hope this helps.
Hello
Why did you use baby oil?
Does oil affect the sticker?
MANAL it just is a little thicker, and moves the inside decorations slower, which a lot of people perform the look of. You can use about any unperishable liquid.
@@sylvie_on Thank you 😭❤❤
Will you be restocking the UV coating?
The one in the video will not be restock, but we have a new version with better quality and faster curing time here: www.miniaturesweethk.com/products/glossy-sealer-for-resin-craft-uv-led-top-coat-with-shiny-finish-gloss-top-coating-8ml
This is sold out at the moment, will be back in 1-2 weeks
if you're looking to get rid of bubbles easier use a mini blow torch.
How do you torch through silicone?
@@sengasengana you torch the freshly mixed resin.
I don't do this for the shakers. I pour resin in both pieces, let then cure pop them out, never have to file! This makes no sense to point the lid on the first piece of resin and flow resin all over.
How is this supposed to work? These are hollow molds. If you simply fill both with resin, you have two solid halves, not hollow bodies.
Helloo
Can anybody tell me where you got your shaker stuff? If you got it from Etsy or a website similar to Etsy please comment the shop name :D
Miniature sweet has a shop where you can buy pretty much everything resin.
I got most of my stuff from Ebay and Amazon. Search for "nail art" and you will find tons off stuff you can use.
Other keywords:
microbeads/caviar beads
polymer clay canes
fake candy
polymer clay sprinkles
resin filler
Omg!!!! So much wasted resin!!!!
Sandra Montalvo I was wondering the whole time why she didn’t use heat for the bubbles
@@moonlightmermaid671 Because bubbles can't go through silicone.
Yg gak like barti bisa
Can u make more lolirock diy please
So cute but such a waste of resin :(
That is what i thought as well. You can at least make more then three shakers with the resin that spilt. Kind of annoyed
You should try to be more eco friendly
Just a tips,you can also pour the resin from outer side(around the mold) until its half full in the middle..you can get rid of tiny holes by doing this
From my experience, glue doesnt hold forever onto resin, also it starts to change colour and with temperature changes it ll fall apart.
I dont use glue or anything,just a tips on how to pour the resin in the right place so in the final result dont get a gaps
I'm so new to this so please can anyone give me some advice please using 2part resin if it a 3:1 rating how much resin and hardener do I put in my cups please help
Thank you
Bernadette xx
@@bernadettemurray8321 3 cups for resin and 1 cups for hardener,or you can use a plastic spoon for measuring..i also use that type of resin by the way
@@Imyourgirlfriend thank you David x. Is it about 30 mls resin and 10 mls hardener 🤔
I purchase uv top coat but always end up getting the fake one
