There's something rather satisfying about that beautiful resin egg popping out of the mold!!
I cannot believe you got that egg out of that mold without breaking it… that was an accomplishment in and of itself!!!!
The eggs are awesome!
Very cool. When the egg flew out I had a bit of a giggle 🤭 the golden leaf egg is awesome. 🥰🇦🇺
I can’t help but to laugh when you pop the egg out. It’s so funny and cute haha.
I can’t wait to try this myself!!
Steve you are such a fabulous person, I have FINALLY caught up with all your videos, and I have to say I’m really surprise you don’t have more subscribers. I watch a lot of resin videos along with my husband, and we both agree we have learned more from you then any other! The way you explain things really help, you don’t leave anything out, my husband and I really enjoy your personality and how you don’t fake things. If you make a mistake you let us see it so we won’t make the same mistakes. I will make sure I share your videos as much as I can. 😘
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
I don’t think 70,000 subscribers is something to sneeze at.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I joined your Facebook group and I can’t wait to see what you post. Is there just the one account you have on Facebook? Thank you for the plethora of information that you post. ❤️
You did well to get the egg out unbroken. I think when I try this I will hard-boil mine.
I think this is one of my favourite videos. Learn lots and still makes me laugh. Hehe
🫶🏼. They look awesome!! I love the one with the pinecone inside!!
😄 🤣 😂 I was so sure that egg was going to explode.. Great video x
What a fantastic idea! And different size eggs could make other size molds! 😍😍😍 *Googles sizes of eggs between chickens and ostriches*
Heh! I just tried something a bit like this... Sort of! I drilled and emptied a chicken egg, washed and dried it, used hot glue like webbing on the outside to support the shell, and filled it with resin. Once it cured I peeled it a bit like a hard boiled egg 😂 It wasn't glossy, and my mica dust settled more, bit it's literally my first resin project and it turned out pretty well!
brilliant steve ,your work is very creative , it compliments your fabulous personality, you really crack me up , and never fail to brighten my day ,
I really love this! Thank you!
That’s awesome!
Really nice Steve thankyou for sharing
Way to go Steve!!! The mold and the eggs turned out absolutely fabulous‼️

Although I like all 4 eggs i am particularly intrigued by the pinecone. Just the thought of placing the pine one inside the mold seems daunting. Great video, as always
These are gorgeous nice job
Nice job!!!!!!!
This was a great video!
Have only just seen this video... absolutely brilliant..... love that so much. Thank you.
Wow loved those eggs!! I found the green one very appealing. Thank You for sharing.

Holographic glitter would look stunning Steve in your new egg mould with resin or even reflective window foils, they turned out gorgeous. 👍🐣🥚
Love ur videos thank u u bring a smile to my face in these lonely isolation days
Love to see you do it with an emu egg or even a duck egg
You laid a beautiful egg! :)
What a great idea! I have some mold making stuff, and I have wooden eggs from many years ago when I was tole painting. Thanks for this wonderful project. I'll be making an egg mold myself now. :-)
Beautiful and I might add inspirational
Thank

That’s beautiful
Wow 🤩 just eggtastic

Bello!!! Tanks
Absolutely love this fantastic
You are a great person to watch and listen to
I have just poured a resin large bowl of acorns
I’d love to try this, you make it look so easy EXCEPT you have to be strong to get the egg out ! Thank you so much!
Nice work.
I very much enjoyed watching you create the mold and the egg. You made me smile and laugh in delight. You made it fun! Had to subscribe.
Wow so pretty! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺
I saw this video months ago and it inspired me to do this as well (but I had a shiny egg made of stone that I molded).
I have been making all kinds of eggs 🥚
I've always wanted to make resin eggs 🥰 Thank you for the internation ❤
THAT is awesome! I was getting so frustrated with 2 part molds. Thank you Steve!
Me too ~ there a pain in butt!!
Très très beau bravo merci
I bet the chicken was as happy as you and all of us were ,the way the egg come out. Once again well done. Hugs x Ann x
I too woke up thinking hmmm a egg. Imma try it but I need to get those sheets you mentioned.
I found a great mold making product made by BBDino...way better than the sticky stuff.
Imma get right on it
Thanks!! Beautiful work also!!
I love those! I think I'll be trying it now. ❤
I'm amazed the egg wasn't hard boiled and didn't break. 😄
they look amazing :)
I love these :)
Beautiful!!
You’re quite welcome.
My husband and I watch what you post on TH-cam and he’s encouraged me to give it a go. I am just waiting for you to answer a question that I posted before I begin my resin journey.
Steve you ate brilliant!!! I found this video just in time because I just bought at the dollar store a pack of 4 eggs made of a sturdy material ( Easter decorations are already available and it's only January?!?!). I am going to make my own mold so I can make beautiful eggs to place on a round wooden lamp platforms. I would not have thought to spray the egg with glossy sealant ahead of time. Thank you so much I won't waste time or money, no spoiled products! Many many thanks 😊 🙏 for yet again a great video and your tips are a necessity I'm so happy I found your site hugs from Quebec Canada 💜 🇨🇦
Hard boil the egg...and I'd use a pringles can with maybe some mold release...its beautiful!! And imma try this soon.
I love eggs for some reason I collect Stone eggs and marble eggs someday I'll have to try THIS
The one dislike on this video must be from a disgruntled chicken because this is quality content!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts You mustn't take them personally Steve, I heard from a techie that they're automatic "bots" sent around as many random sites as possible by idiot teenagers just because they can ... they hit most of the polymer clay sites too, so probably no site, however good and wholesome like yours, is safe from them. So it's nothing you've done or said :)
Mould release is always helpful with tight moulds too. Though there's only so much you cab do with such a small hole!
What a success, great work! :-D
Absolute TRIUMPH!!!!! From one of your resin eggs you could make loads more moulds too if you wanted to make several with one pour to get colours matched up. The eggs are really beautiful, well done! How you got the fircone in there is a mystery but what a fab idea, it looks like a ship in a bottle type thing. The most brilliant thing about this is having no seam. A huge thank you for this, will definitely give it a whirl :)
😲Amazing! So Awesome!! 💙💙💙 I've wanted to do dragon eggs for a while but gave up the thought because I don't have a lathe... never even thought to make my own mold 🤪. I'm going to do this! And I'll make sure I link it back to you! Thanks!! I'm so excited now! 😀
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I have to get some mold making stuff... I hope I can get it on amazon with everything else around me closed right now.. Please post a pic of the wood and glitter one, I'm picturing it in my head and it's GORGEOUS!
OMG!! I want a egg mold!!
Nice
Fantastic result! Thank you so much for all your helpful links...my wish list is getting horrendous 😂😂😂😂😂
That was like watching some one giving birth lol reminded me of my time ouch lol thanks Steve I laughed out load when the egg shot out brilliant so clever xx
Great result, man! A great way for all of us without a lathe at hand.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts yeah, I've been trying to do lathe like work myself, using my Bosch drill 😂 a lathe is definitely on my wish list
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts no such thing as clean and tidy when a lathe is involved… 😁😁😁
OMG! What a beautiful egg!😍
I’m not sure if I would have the strength to push the egg out! 😖🤣😂
7:19 and now you know how a bird feels xD
Great video, thank you Steve, I really want to make these! :) By the way, don't keep your eggs in the fridge. In the UK we don't need to because the coating of the egg is not washed off like in the US :)
I'm really glad you did this as I haven't got a lathe either. Did you boil the egg first?
That's brilliant. How did you get the effect in the first one? Just squeezing the pipettes into clear?
Please please pretty please 🙏🏻 can you show us how to make a hollow silicone mould of a Christmas Bauble just like your done mould. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎄🎁🎅
when you were trying to push out the real egg I was thinking maybe if it had been hard boiled first... then you wouldn't have had to worry about a mess. that is so amazing though!! was it difficult pushing in the pine cone?
wunderful a love it now you now how hard it is for a chicken to gif as egs hahahahaha hi i ame Irene from te Netherlands 😂😂❤
@SteveMcDonald - I love this! Please tell me, how would you make this if you did NOT want it to have a flat bottom?!
First time watching your channel great video they turned out awesome. Just a question how did you apply the resin on the first one to get the blend like that
Hi these are lovely ! how long do you leave them in the mold before getting the egg out?
Beautiful. I wonder what my chooks would think if I swapped their white fake eggs for a few of these.
They're all gorgeous Steve. You had me crying with laughter when you were getting that egg out :)
I was cracking up as well, nearly fell out of my chair laughing!
Steve have you ever tried to cast your own hand / finger in resin think you have to use a quick curing rubber something like dental impression material would be grateful for any advise fantastic eggs btw 😀
Wow that is absolutely awesome! And I was cringing while you were taking out the real egg was expecting it to crack but you did such a good job! You should considering selling moulds 😘
Yes I would be the 1st to buy them!!!!!!!!! He would make a killing from me, I am always looking for new moulds.
angela Devillier haha I would love this one in particular lol
Hi Steve. Would it be worth putting a layer of resin over the egg before making the mould as it would then be super smooth? Thanks for the tutorial :-)
After watching you trying to get that egg out of the mold, I have a new found respect for hens. 😂😂😂
I have some marble eggs and thought of making a mold of one.
Hi Steve... Luv your videos... Have you tried putting anything in the eggs yet?
This video has been immensely helpful. I'm a soap maker in need of a very specific sized egg mold for a custom order. The customer wants the egg on its side but I can't find a goose egg mold like that. Anyway, thank you for posting your video.
What if I wanted to mold the egg on its side? Would the silicone get all the way underneath it? Also can I use a wooden egg if I seal it?
Please show us how to make a hollow Christmas bauble silicone mould pretty please 🙏🏻
Nice eggs!
How long did you leave it to cure?
Love u hahaha
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
NEW... wowzers!... BRILLIANT Steve.
I just love your enthusiasm, and it is palpable in your voice... on the future list of things to do now... I placed my order last night of loads of things, as a result of your channel, cant wait for it all to start to arrive - im like a kid in a candy store :-).
out of interest, could you give me a link to a pressure pot you would recommend? As, depending on the price, I Amy get one - as its my bday, and I will get it with my bday money :-)
thanks, as always Steve
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Thanks Steve. I came across this pressure pot - but I shall wait for your feedback from your research :-0
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts oooops, yes...a link would help wouldn't it haha - sorry Steve :-)
