Thank you so much for sharing this. I was looking for how to make resin buttons to use on my crochet, knitted and sewed clothes wnd your tutorial opped up in my search. So glad it did. I use mainly UV resin (as I hate to measure). Also saw your comment about the fact that you wash them at least once week. That's good to know. Your buttons are beautiful ❤️🥰💕💜💙
A doubt. Not using UV resin, only the normal one in the button mould. So if I have to stitch these buttons onto a shirt or something, do I need to put a top coating like a spray or something? I mean sealing it?Because these buttons would be hand washed or machine washed regularly. By the way the buttons are super cute, love them 😍
Hello! Thank you for watching! You shouldn’t need a top coat spray or anything because the resin should give it a smooth glassy finish on its own 😊 Also, I sewed my buttons onto a surgical cap and it goes through the wash at least once a week and sometimes twice and the buttons have held up beautifully 😍 I hope this helps!!
Hello! Great question! I just mixed the acrylic paint with the resin and poured it into the mold all together. You can absolutely do a thin layer of resin first, but mine cured fully without the thin layer of resin. I hope this helps!
Hello! Yes, you are correct! I keep it under the light for two minutes and then flip it over to make sure the other side is cured as well. I hope this helps!
Yes you can absolutely use them for buttons😊 I used them on my headbands to secure my mask all day and I was washing these weekly and I haven’t had any problems :)
Hello!! Yes! I put my buttons on a headband to hold my mask up and I wash it weekly and they still look great! As for how long to keep them under UV light- that will depend on your wattage of your lamp. I use a clear mold and I do 2 minutes each side. I hope this helps!
Hello!! Great question! I read somewhere that UV is stronger and with UV LED it has the potential to not cure as fully. But I just realized one that I have been using recently is 24 w UV LED and it does pretty well but I also cure for a little bit longer (since it’s also an older lamp). So I think you’ll be fine with a UV LED 😊

Cool content!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words!
Does the glitter plug up the holes? I love these
No, the glitter will not plug the button holes 😊 thank you! They are so fun to make!
When you made the buttons with the acrylic, did you put a thin layer of resin first, Before the resin mixed with acrylic.?
Hello! Great question! I just mixed the acrylic paint with the resin and poured it into the mold all together. You can absolutely do a thin layer of resin first, but mine cured fully without the thin layer of resin. I hope this helps!
@@craftbuggy5307 Thank you so much for your help. 😊
You’re so welcome!!! 😍
How long did you cure this under the light? My mold is no longer shiny
Hello! It depends on the wattage of your light. I did two minutes per side
Can you use epoxy resin with these instead?
Yes absolutely! I used the UV resin because it had a tiny nozzle making it easier to pour into the small mold 😊
Is it a 36 w uv led light that you have?
Hello! My lamp is a 24 watt 😊 I found it on amazon
What do you mean by 2 minutes each side. Do you turn it upside down.
Hello! Yes, you are correct! I keep it under the light for two minutes and then flip it over to make sure the other side is cured as well. I hope this helps!
Can you really use them for buttons? What about washing and drying them?
Yes you can absolutely use them for buttons😊 I used them on my headbands to secure my mask all day and I was washing these weekly and I haven’t had any problems :)
Gorgeous 🙌❤️💚💙💜
Can the buttons be washed in the washing machine? And How many second are the buttons in the UV light? 😊
Hello!! Yes! I put my buttons on a headband to hold my mask up and I wash it weekly and they still look great! As for how long to keep them under UV light- that will depend on your wattage of your lamp. I use a clear mold and I do 2 minutes each side. I hope this helps!
@@craftbuggy5307 Thank you. 😊 Why is it that I should not buy a UV LED light? 😊
I'm New to this, so I'm sorry for asking.
