You people are sooooo rude. If you don’t like what she is doing, don’t watch. You are not being forced. I think she is doing a great job and I can see it just fine. Thank you for doing this tutorial. I appreciate your time.
i liked this i was so impressed with how these turned out and they look so like the real thing, its remarkable, and they look beautiful, i was wanting to see a tutorial like this, but i could not find one until, i found your channel, i have no experience in resin iam a wire jewelry maker and designer, and i want to learn how to use resin to make these beautiful dichroic Faux glass cabachons. this is such a great tutorial thank you for making it, its exactly what i was searching for. i subscribed and gave this video a thumbs up. Laura in England
This is my fav vid so far with holo flakes. My list for rjcrafts is growing...and growing lol. They do have really good prices. Thank you for sharing this.
these are gorgeous!! i'm more of a gem and rock person than a craft person,, and as someone who despises those plastic foil back faceted gems, i was very pleasantly surprised by how captivating these are. especially from far away, just beautiful. they really do imitate the fire of a dark natural gem well. xx
I have been going to order some resin, now I think it will be the UV resin that I will give a go first. I love these little jewels, your mind is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
I tried this and they turn out beautifully. I tried it your way and I also tried doing all clear up until the domeing and then I put black resin. I like that way best. Thank you for the tutorial. I will definitely be watching more.
I learned from you that to make UV resin pieces, one must use a clear mold, not the opaque silicone mold. I didn't know that. I'm so new to this, I haven't even made my first project yet; I am quietly garnering as much knowledge as I can before I start buying supplies and giving it all a try. Thank you so much! Love how your faux opal stones turned out!
I just got into crafting using UV resin and I love how simple it is to make these beautiful gems! I might try making earrings! And if I may suggest, put washi tape on a bottle cap and stick your gem on there so that when you color, the marker doesn't get on you. Thank you for the great tutorial and giveaway!
Once the mylar is mixed with the resin and in the mold, I use a straw to gently blow into it. My breath is warm enough to 1) warm the resin so its more blended naturally, 2) helps to bring any bubbles to the top, and 3) it melds the mylar flakes better into the resin. When blowing into the straw, the resin will look slightly cloudy as it warms from my breath, but will clear up like crystal within seconds. Using a straw works well for me so I thought you might like to try it for yourself. :)
ok, if you want to use resin- make sure u have a detached garage from your house! this shit has high fumes! it stincks! so if your wife or husband does not talk to you, 4 a week? I get it! LMFAO!
Love all your videos, I have gotten my girls doing these and it's super hard getting them to do ANY crafts with me lol. Keep them coming. Thanks a bunch.
Ooooooooo, so pretty! Wonder what different colored backgrounds would do. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. I so look forward to them. Loved having so many last week. ;)
I am constantly surprised--not really surprised, but mightily pleased--by your creativity and the variety of wonderful projects you share with us. Thank you so very much!
Loved the video. I have made a few dicro pieces. This looks much easier. I only have one suggestion. When you work at your UV station a solid dark surface would make it easier to see the resin and Mylar in the clear mold!! Looking forward to making these.
These are really beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I have been looking for a tutorial on how to replace small stones in a ring. I am keeping my fingers crossed🤞that I can succeed with this lesson today. It will be interesting to see if it works.😊⚘
@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox Allison, it's the same mold you used. I got it from Ali Express. I thought it was supposed to just pop out, but I can't even pry it out.. can I send it to you??
Norrie Fulford That’s very odd. If silicone they should just pop out. Unless that seller is sending out plastic molds and not silicone. Have you tried pushing from the bottom of the molded piece? Maybe try and pull from the edges? Otherwise I’m not sure what’s going on :/
@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox yes, I've tried everything and it won't come out. Hmmmm.. how do I tell the difference between silicone & plastic. That's all it could be, because it's bonded in that mold. I will be happy to send it to you to look at.. 😊
Norrie Fulford silicone would be rubbery. Plastic would be pretty hard and not very flexible. If it was silicone, it would release. Maybe contact the seller and ask for a refund or a real silicone mold. I have put a new link to the molds that I know are for sure silicone. Lower price too.
I love your video so much that I purchased the gem mold from your source but it seems to be slightly different. The one I purchased has smaller gems and doesn't have two circle shapes, only one. It does have two square shapes. The larger rectangle on mine seems to be the size of your smaller rectangle. Do you have another source for the mold you used? I Thanks so much for the video!
The blue and white table top you're using is beautiful, but it does make it a little more difficult to see the items you're using and how the resin is working to coat the mold, etc. It would be easier to see what you're doing if the background was a single color without a pattern. I did order the mylar flakes you suggested and can't wait to add this technique to my jewelry making. Thank you for your tutorials and the time you take to teach us. Its very helpful.
These are gorgeous!!! I love these. I couldn't help but to notice you had a little cough or something. Please remember the resin is toxic so be careful when curing..
These are quick. So nice! That leftover in the bowl that you cure could be cut up to make another dichroic gem. I wish someone would come out with and LED resin, because I don’t want to buy a new lamp!😂
Wow just saw this one of yours too Alison! So cool and DIFFERENT! I am going to buy the supplies and make them! Also Alison, I have a couple of Japanese artists that I found that I am fascinated with also...I want to try some of their creations...I think you might enjoy them also!? Would you like me to email you their links? And some of the things they use I have not been able to find because they are all in Japan and in Japanese and it is very confusing trying to figure out how to order...and I have not been able to find them here on Amazon as they don't say the names of these supplies they use in English lol!..But they are gorgeous and different!..I just thought as an artist as I am too...I always love seeing things other artists make even if it is not my style...it's ALL just so amazing and FUN!...maybe you could help me figure out where to get the stuff they use here in the states hopefully from one of your associates? I did not know if you would want me to post them here? Anyway...I LOVE LOVE LOVE your stuff and you are so cute and sweet and so easy to understand! And your enthusiasm and LOVE of what you do is what is magnetizing I think?! And you take great videos...always a good close range and always in focus and always on screen and your hands never get in the way....OK let me know! Thanks!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You people are sooooo rude. If you don’t like what she is doing, don’t watch. You are not being forced. I think she is doing a great job and I can see it just fine.
Thank you for doing this tutorial. I appreciate your time.

lemonsandimsad Thank you so much 😊
these look so much better than colored glass, I'll try this soon ❤
Beautiful faux sparkling gems! Love how the black background makes the gems pop out.

Yes! The black background was a killer creative idea Alison! It really really is an amazing transformation when you did that!
I have been going to order some resin, now I think it will be the UV resin that I will give a go first. I love these little jewels, your mind is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Lyn R Thanks Lyn 🤗💜
Love this technique. One of the best I’ve seen. Thank you.
i really enjoyed this. i didn't know about UV resin. those gems are so pretty.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Your instructions are detailed and easy to understand.
Your imagination never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for teaching us your ideas and techniques.
I enjoyed this video! The step-by-step process really helps. Something new for a newbie to learn
I tried this and they turn out beautifully. I tried it your way and I also tried doing all clear up until the domeing and then I put black resin. I like that way best. Thank you for the tutorial. I will definitely be watching more.
Beautiful pieces and so simple, Love it
Hi, I'm a newbie and this is a big help to this old gal. Thanks so much for telling us in a slow way for me to catch on.

I'm so new to this, I haven't even made my first project yet; I am quietly garnering as much knowledge as I can before I start buying supplies and giving it all a try. Thank you so much!

Fell in love with it instantly!
Hasta hoy vi el video, espectacular, gracias por compartir esta belleza.
Beautiful and super easy! Glad you mentioned using the sharpie. Makes it much quicker!
You have done it again, another tutorial that expands my crafting knowledge

My breath is warm enough to 1) warm the resin so its more blended naturally, 2) helps to bring any bubbles to the top, and 3) it melds the mylar flakes better into the resin. When blowing into the straw, the resin will look slightly cloudy as it warms from my breath, but will clear up like crystal within seconds. Using a straw works well for me so I thought you might like to try it for yourself. :)
You just answered my question . I was going to ask if you could use this gem on polymer clay. So exciting.
Coating makes so much sense! Great tip!
Thanks for showing us the steps and little tips to making those really cool looking gems.
Love how the background looks!!!♡♡♡
I've done this before using 2 part resin and made flakes from scraps of left over Angelina film. Amazing to see this done with UV resin. Thanks!
Donna Bernd I love Angelina film 💜
I love your beautiful cabs ! I’ll definitely be making some . Thanks for sharing with us. 😊
Sherry Croft thank you Sherry 💜
This is brilliant! Great work 👏🏾
I LOVE THESE!!!! I cant wait until Friday. This is exactly what I've been looking for! I've shared, liked and am soooo subscribed!!!
Scrap Queen 💜💜💜
Very beautiful! This is a new craft and yours was the first one I came across. Looking forward to see what else you have made.
Fabulous,I’ve been making and selling jewelry for 12 years but I have never looked into making stones with Any kind of resin. My new projects!
ok, if you want to use resin- make sure u have a detached garage from your house! this shit has high fumes! it stincks! so if your wife or husband does not talk to you, 4 a week? I get it! LMFAO!
Youa gave me ideas. In can use the 7 day pill storage containers for this. 😊
Looks awesome. One tip the lamps your using on the bottom that blue film comes off so the light reflects off the bottom.
You can also collor you marker in a cup spray a bit alcahol in put resin in and its black resin
You can do that whit every color
They look like black opal to me, too!!! This looks beautiful!💜👀💜
Love this gem will give it a try
Beautiful little gems 😊
I love your work! You are so talented! I saw you on Pinterest first ❤️
Lola Bennion Awe!! Thank you so much Lola! 🤗💜🤗
Amar Zegrar thank you so much 💜💜
That is really neat. Those mylar flakes are great for that project.
Great job. It's cute how you say dichroic
Great methodology. Thank you for sharing.
Love all your videos, I have gotten my girls doing these and it's super hard getting them to do ANY crafts with me lol. Keep them coming. Thanks a bunch.
So beautiful and simple! What wonderful ideas. Really gorgeous!
Really lovely, I had done this but used black gel nail polish to coat the mould in beginning. No Sharpie needed.
Love knowing how to make these now. Purchased one from a vendor. One of my favorite pieces. Always receive compliments on it! 💜💜💜
Love these dichrondric like gems. ❤
Ooooooooo, so pretty! Wonder what different colored backgrounds would do. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. I so look forward to them. Loved having so many last week. ;)
Thank you Stephanie 💜
Different color backgrounds will give you different looks. Have fun experimenting! 😊
Stephanie Hancock here is a tutorial using Mylar and different color backgrounds 😊 ua-cam.com/video/vIIlZe_6oyY/v-deo.html

Love your video very easy to follow
maria rodriguez Thank you so much Maria 😊
What type of adhesive do you use to glue jewelry findings to pieces that have UV resin on them?
Carol Bryant I usually just use more uv resin to adhere a jump ring. For a bail, I Resin over the back of the piece and the bottom half of the Bail.
@@ThinkingOutsideTheBox Thank you
These would be perfect for bead embroidery.
You can also do a white background to make white opal.
Beverly Wright Yes! Adding different color backgrounds gives many different effects 😊
Beverly Wright I also did a tutorial using Mylar and different color backgrounds. White was one of them 😊 ua-cam.com/video/vIIlZe_6oyY/v-deo.html
Sooooo pretty ! I wanna try this stuff sooooo bad
Love love love these resin gems! Thank you Allison for the fun, easy tutorial!
Thank you so much for the video. I didn’t know where to begin but I had an image in my head of what I wanted. You brought it to life- thank you. :)
Loved the video. I have made a few dicro pieces. This looks much easier. I only have one suggestion. When you work at your UV station a solid dark surface would make it easier to see the resin and Mylar in the clear mold!! Looking forward to making these.

I'm intrigued , with the tumbled glass you did, but I would like to see what you did with the glass. I did not find a video on them.
Holy sparkles Batman! They're so beautiful! Thank you so much for the video 😍
Prism Quartz Thank you 😊
Beautiful work would love to try the holo!!
I am in love with these 😍
Thank you for a great instructional video. You are a great teacher !

Thanks so much for the video!
PrincessDamama Thank you! I’m sorry, that’s the only source that I have. They may have changed the mold on their site :/
It's really amazing! What is the difference between UV RESIN and the "top coat"
Beautiful!! I ❤them! Ive gotta try that!!😊
I love this! It’s an excellent idea’
Totally awesome, love these jams. They look super easy, but such an impact.
Hugs and happiness,
Briana C. 🤗💜
These are seriously cool, Alison!
Thanks Margaret! 💜💜
The things you make are truly "thingking outside the box"
Amazing!! ✨✨
Can you make button shapes and after all the steps completed--can holes be drilled?
Linda you sure can. I suggest using a power drill such as a Dremel to drill the holes.
Oh Wow!!! Very beautiful!!!
Lunah Moon Thank you Lunah 😊
I have always wanted to know how to do this. Thank you!
The blue and white table top you're using is beautiful, but it does make it a little more difficult to see the items you're using and how the resin is working to coat the mold, etc. It would be easier to see what you're doing if the background was a single color without a pattern.

I couldn't help but to notice you had a little cough or something. Please remember the resin is toxic so be careful when curing..
Did you ever try painting the first layer on the shapes so that all shapes could be done a once?
d1a2n3 I’m not sure I understand your question. :/
These are quick. So nice! That leftover in the bowl that you cure could be cut up to make another dichroic gem. I wish someone would come out with and LED resin, because I don’t want to buy a new lamp!😂
These are so beautiful..❤
Love it. So pretty. Thank You.
Great video! Some wonderful tips. I’m off to make one now 😍 ❤️❤️
