Masha Allah good job sir Jazak Allah-o-khairah for amazing and beautiful design of set.
Hi HappyBird. In my UA-cam Library I have saved videos that I like. For example I have "crafts" "butterflies" "paper crafts", etc. but I had to make a whole separate file in my Library for "HappyBird" because you have so many many many beautiful posts that teach us such beautiful artwork! Thank you!
Very pretty and sparkly! TFS 😀

Thank you for sharing this tutorial!! The only thing I wished was that you showed the dark ones and any possible mistakes. That way I can tell when my project is possibly going awry. Can't wait to try this and have the best of holidays!
Kimiko Kimiko, you made a good point. Yes, I should have given an example of the dark colors. I'm so sorry for that! I do appreciate you watching my videos! :o)

Wow!! Very cool...I love it!!!
Thank you!! Much love and abundance for you
+Angel You are so welcome! :o)
Excelent video! TFS. Just gorgeous.
Thank you for the video, these are so pretty. I read in the comments that they haven't yellowed, which is good to know because I've had that mod podge yellow on me before.
+MegaPraiseHim Hi MegaPraiseHim! Thank you so much for commenting. :o) You can actually use any resin you would like, such as Glossy Accents by Ranger or Aleene's Paper Glaze. They all do pretty much the same thing. Thanks again and blessings to you!
Beautiful! I will definitely try this.
MyCozySanctuary Thank you for your nice comment! :o)
wow these are so beautiful!!!! trying this tomorrow!!! thanks so much!
Christa Sonner You are so very welcome Christa!

I went to Michaels yesterday to pick up the grit glitter and the Mod Podge Magic. This makes 4 times I have watched this video I love it and now I can make some. Thanks
Virginia Derk Awww! Thank you so much for watching my videos! I hope they turned out beautiful for you! :o)

rita spratlen You are so welcome Sweetie! :o)
Love this will have to try this thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Debbie!
Hello HappyBird and thank you for this wonderful, excellent, helpful, detailed tutorial! I've already made two pendants and a pair of earrings. I'm totally hooked and they are beautiful! I have a quick question. Do you add a top layer of clear mod podge or varnish or leave as is? I'm wondering if the mounded glitter needs to have any protection or will it be ok since we used the mod podge in the first place? Thanks again and keep creating! :-)
I just left it "as is" Sweetie. I'm so glad you are enjoying my tutorial! Hugs to you!
Beautiful as usual!!!
hazelidgal63 Awww! Thanks Hazelidgal63!
Love the video 🥰🙏🏼
Just a bit of helpful advice. I noticed using glass glitter works the best for the faux druzy look. Your videos are amazing :)
Sidney Bret Now I'm definitely going to have to try the glitter glass! :o) Thank you so much for your kind comment!
You are very welcome :)
Beautiful 😍
BEAUTIFUL!
Sara Reyna Thank you so much Sara! :o)
Thank you so much for sharing; I will definitely try this!
beautiful. tnx so much
+Gracijela Malisa You are so welcome Gracijela! :o)
Amazing 😍
Love it. Thanks
You are so welcome Bianca!
This is so cute.. I gotta try this.. Tfs
***** You'll enjoy doing this! I know I did! :o)
I think your pendants came out so pretty. I've been trying your technique, but for some reason mine are not coming out looking like yours. I keep adding more glitter, and grit, but when they dry, they are smooth and flat. No texture at all. On one I made, after it was all dry, I did try adding more. It helped a little, but I was hoping for more texture.
Jackie, you have to put more glitter/grit than you have resin or it won't turn out right. It just takes practice! :o)
Great tutorial! Blessings!
This is such a fantastic tutorial! Love the appearance of crystals that it gives! Tfs! Alice =)
Thank you Kintri! :o)
Thank-you!! Good video!
+Lynn Morton Thank you so much Lynn! :o)
wow so pretty!!!
Wow...So great, I've just had a go with epsom salts and glitter, waiting for it to dry...Thank you so so much x
I hope it worked out! I never thought of using Epsom salts before. :o)
Hi Mary. yes it did :-) All I did was mix it in first then added the glitter, same as the video...the texture is really nice .x
Nic D Have you gotten it wet? won't the Epsom salts dissolve or did you seal it?
Hi Thelmarrie...the epsom salts were mixed in either Diamond glaze or the mod podge magic ( I've used both) so in effect it's sealed, I've never thought about it getting wet but I guess keep it out the way of boiling hot water and all should be well :-)
Nic D Lol, thanks. It would really look cool with himalayan pink salt.
Very cool!
+Amy Robinson Thank you so much Amy!
That's so nice thanks
I love using buttons, but on back so it doesn't show the holes from button, I am thinking I would use goop glue to seal holes up then use the liquid gold or silver and paint on back before adding the final piece to hold chain.
Thank you!!!
The Pendant and earrings are so pretty. Thank you for sharing. I look forward for next project. Would you consider making a Christmas ornament of shabby chic or any religious ornaments. I have been making shabby chic ornaments and decided to take a break and make bead angels.
Thank you so much, Naomi! Yes, I would consider making ANY Christmas ornaments! :o) Did you see my beaded cross ornament tutorial? I think you'll like it. :o)
Yes I made the cross,angel ornament or pin,snowflake,and trinity beads all last year now trying to come up with something different this year. I might try butterfly and make ornament out of the butterfly. Thank you so very much.
This is great! I was thinking, though: instead of the end of the table (I'd get too worried) I would set them on one of those thick cardboard tags you sometimes get on new clothes (I seem to get a lot of those at Kohl's, I save them, thinking I could use them somehow, and this seems like the time to use those.)
+The Hermgirl Smart thinking Hermgirl! Thank you so much for your suggestion! :o)
I don't have Dimensional Magic so I think I'll try Triple Thick glaze. I wonder if it'll work. Have you tried it? I love love love that Crystal Mint color!!! I've been waiting for a reply to a question and I hope somebody can tell me because I want to place my order with German Glass Glitter. What size glitter do we get for all your pretty designs? Med, ultra-fine, or some are in numbers like 70 grit, 80 grit, 40 grit. What should I get?
WOW! THERE REALLY IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE FROM THE "ULTRA FINE" GLITTER AND THE REGULAR (WHICH I TRIED BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS FINE). i JUST FINISHED THE PROJECT AND OF COURSE IT IS STILL WET, BUT SURELY CAN SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE "ULTRA FINE" CHARM WILL BE. I USE MANY OF YOUR VIDEOS, AS I AM NEW TO CRAFTING
+kathy lambert Awww! I'm so glad your project turned out well for you Hun! Thanks for watching! :o)
so pretty.
+Jtru Thank you very much Jtru! :o)
very pretty
Thank you Bertie!
Beautiful!
I have just become a member of your Facebook page and I am so frustrated at the moment as I have pulled some muscle away from my ribs so I am having bedrest for the time being. All I want to do is have a go at making some of your fantastic creations!😥
Hi! I can't wait to try this! Thank you for posting! I'm looking to make my own bezels, out of wire, so the back would be open. I saw on a blog that you can make, say a circle out of wire, and use the dimensional magic on a piece of packaging tape, within your wire shape, and it'll peel off when it dries. She just used some glitter, but do you suspect that this would work with the faux druzy? Have you tried using this outside of a bezel?
Amanda Steele Sweetie, I've never tried using the material outside of a bezel. I would think if you did use the wire, you would have to make sure the wire would be thick enough so the material on the inside would have something to hold it in while drying. Let me know if you tried it and how it worked! :o)
OneVeryHappyBird Thank you! I did try it! I made a round shape with multiple layers of wire, and put it on a piece of masking tape. Once it dried, it did come off the masking tape, no problem, but the wire didn't stop the material from oozing out a bit. Also - I made one in a brass bezel, and it discolored the material. Not sure what happened there, but just a little tidbit.
cant wait to try this
+roxanne1616 :o)
Lovely, it reminds me of glacier ice. :D
Jen Dragonfly Thank you Jen! Yes! It does kind of look like glacier ice. :o)
Do you put a sealer on when they're fully cured?
They are beautiful but if they get wet the mod podge will dissolve, its best to use resin if you can x
+Elizabeth S Hi Elizabeth,
This isn't regular Mod Podge that I used. It is Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, which is a resin. :o)
These are beautiful. I have tried a few and can't get mine to look chunky. The mod podge always smooths out.
this is sooooo cool
+Ruqayyah Sarah Thank you so much Ruqayyah Sarah! :o)
Thanks I will be trying it
This is beautiful! I'm wondering if it would be easier to premix it in a plastic cup before adding it to the bezel? I can't wait to try this! ❤
Melanie Elliott Hi Melanie, I thought about that, however, I didn't want to make too much or not enough by accident, so I mixed it right in the bezel. Thanks so much for watching! :o)
So cool!! Thanks so much!! :)
+Jill Sullivan You are so welcome Jill! :o)
hi,is it necessary we use mod podge?won't any other glue or using clay work?nice work btw..Thank you!😊
Hi Azma, you can use any kind of CLEAR resin type of glues, such as Glossy Accents by Ranger or Diamond Glaze. I wouldn't use the regular white glue. I've never tried using clay, so I don't know how that would work. Thanks so much for watching! :o)
+OneVeryHappyBird in fact I don't have resin either..hv to buy clear glue and glass glitter Both r difficult to find and costly in india..I did try with ordinary glitter,white glue and It didn't turn out good bcoz of glitter...no problem with the glue..Thank you soo much for replying me!☺😊
cool so pretty and looks very expensive
+Lg gg Thank you very much! :o)
Thank you for this great idea! I will be trying this but I am going to try using clear glass glitter. One thing you might want to be more aware of that was a bit of a bummer is your camera angle. A lot of what you filmed was off camera or barely on so if you don't zoom in as much, we can see what you are doing. Thanks dear! :0)
I know Hun. This is an old video and I wasn't paying enough attention to my frame. I've learned since then. :)
Sorry, I didn't even look at the date. I am sure with almost 100,000 views, someone told you. I was just rabbit trailing and saw your thumbnail. I am off to the craft store to get supplies to try this. Thank you. :0)
Thanks for your videos.They're great. Wonder if I could substitute 3D Crystal Lacquer for the Mod Podge?
Thanks!
+Doris Slattery Hi Doris, I would think the 3D Crystal Lacquer would be fine. Thanks so much for watching! :o)
could i use regular mod podge? i dont have the dimensional magic, but i have matte and glossy
bee cmpbell Unfortunately, no. Mod Podge is a glue that you water down. Dimensional magic is a clear resin.
I saw yoyu video and tried it.The only thing I did different was I used nail polish in the place of colored glitter and I was very pleased with the out come. I would like to send you a picture of but I don't see how.
Oooo! I like the idea of using nail polish! Very creative thinking Joanie!
You from Utah? I am and was just wondering. Beautiful direction on your craft
Do you have to use the matte or the gloss finish mod podge? Thanks :)
Rebecca Dickinson HI Rebecca, In this project, you don't use the regular Mod Podge that you decoupage with. You use the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, which is a resin. Hope this helps!
Hi, I have a question. Do you have a video of what it looks like to go back and add more, if you didn't get right the first time?
Thank You
J Vogt I'm sorry Sweetie, but I don't. I can tell you that I just blobed it right on top of what I originally did and it adhered extremely well.
ohhh very nice! Thank You very much. :)
I am wondering if I could use something for the druzy when it's done, so the glitter doesn't stick on the skin. is there like a spray or something to keep it together?
+Faby Diaz Hi Faby, I haven't had any of my druzy's shed glitter because the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic is a resin. Everything is attached and it is tough as cement. :o) Thank you so much for watching!
that's awesome😉😉
Did you buy the regular oval pendant at michaels or a online Michaels. Sorry if this is late
Sam i am I purchased the oval pendants online. Michael's is very limited, however, you can find a ton of bezels on Ebay or Etsy in all kinds of shapes, sizes and styles. Hope this helps! :o)
Thanks
Thank you for this tutorial ! This is great ! I don’t see the links of where you bought the supplies ?
love it :)
Mandy Norcross Thank you Mandy! :o)
Woow is amazing, appearing real and is beautiful, excellent idea.! Thank you for the video. Buen Día y Bendiciones!!!!!. :
¡Muchas gracias! Voy a tomar la bendición!
Could not see parts of video because you were out of frame.....neat video! Could you do this in a mold?
+Annette Weadock I know. I'm sorry about that! :o( I have never tried doing this in a silicone mold before, but it would be interesting to see how it turns out. :o) Thank you so much for watching my videos!
+OneVeryHappyBird Thank you for responding................very pretty
I am having trouble finding that glitter purpurina crystal ultra fine. Does it go by another name, brand, etc Thanks.
These are so beautiful Where did you get the bezels?
You can find a ton of bezels on Ebay or Etsy.
Ii want alllll of those bezels for this project and modge podge projects.
LOL! Thank you Sweetie!
wouldn't a better way to make this would be to mix the glue and glitter mixture in a separate cup until your happy, and then put it in the bezel, wait until it cures, and then add resin on the top to smooth it out? is there a specific reason you did it the way you did?
+nathalie jones Hi Nathalie, Yes, I did it that way because I didn't want to not make enough or make too much. It gave me an idea of how much I would need when I mixed it in the bezel. However, you can do it any way you feel comfortable doing it. Thanks for watching! :o)
+OneVeryHappyBird oh, I thought I was just doing something wrong,thanks for the reply, and nice videos!
+nathalie jones You are so welcome! :o)
I’m sorry what are the shapes called? I wanted to look for them on eBay
that was a wonderful how to video. thanks for sharing. question: does the mod podge shrink and seal the glitter from coming loose and getting on everything or can you recommend a clear sealer that one could use to prevent that from happening. . .
Hi Kelly! Yes, the Mod Podge does shrink and seal the glitter from coming loose. If you choose to use a sealer, I would recommend Mod Podge Super Gloss (with the blue label) to seal. Thank you so much for watching!
+OneVeryHappyBird thank you for the reply. this will be great fun for the next slumber party / a gift they can go home with
Kelly Crystal Quann huu
Kelly Crystal Quann iy Yosemite o
someone told me you cannot use the Mod Podge because it is water soluble if it gets damp and anyway it will fall apart is that true
+Coleen Taylor That has not been my personal experience, however, you can use any resin you would like, such as Diamond Glaze or Ranger's Glossy Accents.
Do you think I could get away with the regular modge podge?
No Sweetie. The Mod Podge Dimensional Magic is a clear resin. :o) Thanks for watching!
I'm italiana this Project is very beautiful...where do i find The mod podge in Italy in which Store? Thank You
Can we use glue instead of mod podge?
sal ali No, because Mod Podge Dimensional Magic is a resin. Regular Mod Podge is a white glue and white glue won't work.Thanks for watching my videos! :o)
Ok thank you.
I really appreciate you getting back to me.
I will definetly subscribe your vids are REALLY AWESOME
Are you around the az area.. Do you do classs
