- Hi Everyone. Can You Cast A Balloon With Epoxy Resin? This is something that I want to find out so that I can then use the resin balloon castings in other projects. The finished castings could be used as eggs or for jewelry if you make them small, or possibly for light fittings. I may even make a resin diorama out of it if it works.

Can You Cast A Balloon With Epoxy Resin?
Warning: Important Health and Safety Notice:
Resin is an industrial chemical and as such should always be treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken. Here is a video I have made on how I keep myself safe: • Stop Making Yourself I...
Louise is definitely amazing! She isn't scared to try anything....reminds me of you! The two of you are in my top 5 resin channels💞
I have also used UV resin on the outside of balloons to make flasks, hedgehogs and other items. Fill with water, freeze them in the desired shape and coat👍
Steve. Loved the video. Can’t wait to try it. Fresh Ideas (Seveta Fresh) also uses balloons but a bit differently
Oh Steve, when you put the canned air into the balloon, I was scared it would pop! whew. I am glad to see someone else as messy as I am. When I attempt things, I get resin all over. I have clothes I use just for resin now. Glitter is bad enough but sticky resin is awful for me. So of course I have to do this hobby. I even wear 2 sets of gloves. Then when the first pair is trashed, I can pull them off and have a clean pair already on. I go through a lot of gloves. :-)
I loved watching this video Steve, you are so entertaining. Thank you so much for the shout out and all of your kind words, you are a love x
I am so happy you discovered Louise...she has a genius imagination, and is so, so sweet! You two have a lot in common with shared, out-of-the-box, innovative approaches to creating Cool Stuff. 😊❤
I love your balloon, Steve! ❤
Yes!!$ Louise is Brilliant! I’ve been watching her since she started her channel.
HI Steve, Loved your resin balloon super duper cool looking 👍🤗✨Lin
Louise is an awesome artist. I love how honest you are, making a mess made me laugh 😁
Yes I’ve seen Louise do this before and I like your take on it too!💕
Louise is an amazing artist. This was really cool!! Well done
Turned out nice! I’ve been watching Louise for several years she is very talented!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts yes she is🙂
Great video !!! And I find the canned-air-method really good as well as the idea of carving the balloon like an ostrich's egg.
Louise really creates wonderful things and she is so funny and sweet... :-)
Hi Steve, Great video again as usual. I also watch Louise's channel. Between watching you, her and Julie from Pouring Your Heart Out, I have had lots of inspiration for my own creations. Other people may have already mentioned this, but I too had trouble peeling the balloon off the cured resin. I find that if I give the inside of the balloon a spray with mold release, the balloon will peel off much easier. :) A few people in my family got planters made using this method last Christmas. I was really pleased with how they turned out.
She does make amazing things!
Love your videos. You experiment for us do we won’t waste our stuff. Appreciate it!!
I appreciate you adding the Canadian sites to purchase items.
I have watched this on Louise’s channel and thought about making it. Now seeing it again on your channel I know that I will make it. I’m thinking of cutting a hole on the bottom, filling it with some dollar bills and plugging it to look like part of a balloon bouquet for my granddaughters birthday. Ok so in my head it looks great. lol
Wow what a beautiful finished balloon! I don’t think this method is something I plan to do but it is a fascinating watch. 😊 Thanks for sharing your process!
Love your experiments Steve!!! Louise Singleton is a GENIOUS!!! Love her work!!!
Your video may be a year old already, but it was just the godsend I needed! I cast a balloon externally, and could not get the balloon residue off to save my life. Then, I watched how you made yours, and when you mentioned the magic words of wd-40, what was taking me several hours to peel like a hard-boiled egg then started lifting almost instantly! So thank you so much!! This helped tremendously!!
Awesome resin balloon Steve Mcdonald
Lol I have always wanted to do a ballon after seeing Louise doing it a while back I have 4 emu eggs that came from an emu farm they were the eggs that for some reason failed in the nest and so they were drilled out and cleaned I have been hanging onto them as I want to make something special with them so they have been packed up safe and snuggly. But making a resin version for practicing on makes a lot of sense thanks for the hint to that 😹😹 I like I can make them in different colours too😹😹
Yes, I have seen Louise's video with the balloon and I even bought some balloons for the project. I just haven't gotten around to it yet since I was in the hospital for nearly two weeks. (I have kidney disease). Anyway, I laughed so much when the glitter resin spilled out all over. It's always good to laugh at yourself! 🤣 You definitely would laugh at all the messes I make!!! Loved it, and Easter eggs would be so awesome!
This is wonderful! Very messy, but very glad you show what can happen. Always a joy to watch you work! Thank you Steve 😊!!!
Great once again Steve
Thanks again for the tips on resin. You are very knowledgeable about it.
Louise is awesome. That turned out great! Yes would probably be awesome to carve. But iam enjoying the eggs when I can get back to full time crafting 😘
Louise is amazing ! And I have this experiment in my to do list ! Thank you Steve ! You did a beautiful "egg" 😊💙💙
OK, I must ask: where did you get the mosaic tiles mold???? Do you have a video on how you use it?
I love Louise! And I love experiments. Wonderful stuff! I had bought some special balloons after seeing her video, but still haven't tried. You do beautifully!
This is pretty cool
It would make a wonderful mini hot air balloon. You could decorate it and add the basket.
WOW!! That's definitely a new one for me!! it is very glittery 🌟🌟. going to check out the one from the description now....
stay safe, you do you, and stay crafty 👍👍🛎️🛎️🔔🔔🦋🦋
Interesting… I never would have thought to do this. I’m going to have to give it a try.
I think that it was just as beautiful before you removed the balloon as after- that wonderful gold through the purple balloon, with the bright glitter on the outside- I didn't want you to remove it! Still it is wonderful as a golden dragons egg/ostrich egg. I used to make Faberge inspired lacquered eggs many years ago, I wonder how sturdy this egg would be? Could you cut it with a Dremel to make a hinged box or purse? Ooooo- imagine using one of those wiggly snake shaped balloons, what a wild finished piece you would get! Or using those long thing balloons that balloon twisters make dogs and swords from!
Cool! I’m sure I would make a mess as well. love the result.
I love this idea but have you thought using clear balloons for this method,that way you can see if the resin has spread out evenly.? Just a suggestion love your videos & your accent..😊😊
Hi there! You should make hot air balloons with this 😍
It turned out great despite your "oopsie" moment, lol. 😁👍
Another thing you can do is get gem molds and make a bunch of resin gems to decorate your egg with. Then you can pretend it's a dragon egg that's been stolen and decorated with part of it's hoard! Might need a mini nest with golden coins around it as a stand though, to complete the illusion. 😅 Of course, you could also get fancy molds with things that look like trim pieces or lace and then make resin pieces with those but remove them from the mold while they're still bendable and sorta form them around your "egg" like you would do with resin bowls. So many possibilities! 😍
Love Your Videos, would love to see you do a video on using a "mold housing" from lets resin. I have used it to make two molds and I LOVE it! I also used a tip from someone that said to put contact paper under it. I had no leaks at all.
👏👏👏👏👏 siempre he soñado en colocar globos grandes para decorar mi casa en navidad y que fueran brillantes 👏👏👏
I kinda wana try this with a latex glove.😁 neato vid 👍
PSA- this is an absolutely Beautiful technique that worked wonderfully once for me. The bowls were gorgeous and it was SUCH a fun technique!!!!
and then ….
horribly the next time I tried it the balloon EXPLODED in my face and my glasses were barely saved (thank goodness I was wearing them-they saved me getting resin in my eyes!!!!!)…my hair however…I had to use several unpleasant solvents to save my hair. Resin is generally a low splash craft so it was unexpected & a warning on the original LS video would have been appreciated. I will for sure wear eye protection and a hat next time I try this and strongly recommend anyone else trying this do the same! Don’t go blind or get bald from being crafty!!!
I luv watching Louise! She's just a wonderful lady
That looks like it would make a beautiful phabroget (I have absolutely no clue how to spell that 1) egg
Estoy muy feliz de haber visto este videoooo 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 voy a hacer muchos paras decorar mi casa
I live Louise! She is great! I love your method too! Your project came out beautiful! Steve, I do have a question. Lately, I’ve been seeing videos using the Resinner quick cure machine! However, someone suggested using a hydrate. Have you heard of this? I’m very curious!
It was fun to watch though
I LIKE IT
Beautiful, I'm never going to do it but that's more to do with a latex allergy lol 😆
Can you show how you used the wd-40 to get the balloon out? Between you and Louise I'm able to make my family gifts. I use her method and used the mold release spray but I prefer the resin you used, but still had a time getting the balloon off. Thanks for sharing
Wow that's different
With the base maybe attach a light to it. Maybe it would be thin enough to give off a nice glow.
Thanks!
Hello! I would like to become a member but the option won’t come up. Do you have to be in England for membership?
I want to try this and I will
Do you know how much resin you used? It seems like it would be a lot unless the the balloon is a little hollow in the middle.
It’s like the golden egg from Wonka :-)
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts An omelette fit enough for a king :-)
Soooo would glow in the dark resin work? I think those would look cool hanging from trees or something and then glow at night. What do you think?
Only came for the mess…don’t disappoint 😁
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts you did it well…I watched Louise…she’s not messy enough 🤔
Is it heavy when it's done?
What happened to the other one you did at the same time.?.?.?
Thanks 🙏🏻
You are Funny! As for the balloons: Do you think it's possible to make a solid "balloon?
Can you do this in resincrete?
Would make Christmas babbles
Gerçekten güzel bir teknik öğrettiniz bizlere, bende sizin gibi insanlara bişeyler öğretmek istiyorum kanalım da ☺️
I can't find the link for the piping bags?
❤️❤️❤️
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Check out Sveta Fresh & Fresh Ideas. She does some really great projects using all kinds of things, too. I have no idea what I would do with such a large item, so I can hardly wait to see how you use it!
I don’t have success with the quick cure doing thinner layers. It’s no faster. It does however cure quicker with thicker layers
Reusable piping bags are cheaper in the long term, one off price & can be reused time & time again, so much better, that's what I've found.
How do you clean the resin out of the reusable piping bags? I used to make cakes so I'm familiar with both types of piping bags but I'm fairly new to resin art.
@@carolwalters6469 Try soaking in hot water & soap.
With all that turning, could you dump the glitter into the balloon first? This is beautiful, but I admit laughing at your mess.
Off to follow your link.
In case you have not seen the safety video on this channel, wear eye protection while working with resin and balloons.
Aren't you supposed to blow the balloons up first then put the resin in?
A golden egg.

Lol
What you were using to fill that balloon WAS NOT compressed air. It was/is a deadly mix of chemicals that is taking the lives of thousands of people every year who are looking for a cheap high. I know, because my brother was one of them. Your video needs a disclaimer at the very least.
