[@clintonmoodley7210]

Great video, good job hendoart

[@Creativemind15k]

Waoo Amazing ❤❤

[@alissadolan7017]

Woah this is a great idea! Thank you so much. I wonder if it would be possible to do a gradient effect, maybe by adding paint or nail polish to the hot glue before it dries or blending two markers

[@Hexbonnie]

I made pearl from Steven universe and thank you so much this helped so much

[@shelbym7009]

Do these methods work for larger gems

[@MisaChan101]

Anyone know where she got that sheet of molds?

[@EzilElat]

I tried with glue (not hot) but it went flat... How to prevent this ?

[@HendoArt]

It's gonna need to be hot glue! It dries fast enough that it doesnt completely flatten out

[@EzilElat]

@@HendoArt yeah... Was hoping to do that as an activity with young kids so... Guess I will have to find another way

[@HendoArt]

@@EzilElat yeah if they're too little for hot glue I would try the plastic shapes section stuff instead!
