You are NOT a dingle, unless you can define 'dingle' as 'person who forgets a step because they are already multitasking.' AFAIK, that's just being human. Also, these are FUN!
They turned out great Steve. I love your “hoarder” statements. I have even been attempting to “hoard” some of the things I would usually just throw away, since seeing you doing it. It’s a great way to save money and help save the planet. Thanks!
I've done this since I was a kid, learning from my grandmother. She wasn't that bad, just resourceful. I'm bad. I have a hard time throwing a lot of things away. Trying to get out of the habit but it's such a struggle! I have way too much stuff!
Do you have a link for the bottle you have your alcohol in? I have purchased three different sets off of Amazon and they're all worthless. Two of the sets of three didn't work. The pump didn't dispense anything and the other set of two were half the size of the advertised capacity 🤦🏼♀️
I never knew you could do shakers. But this came at a perfect time. I have a sand frame, and I was thinking last night if there was a way to make the sand frame in resin. This actually is just a mini version of the sand frame. Thank you for sharing.
I stopped using all kinds of glitters in shakers altogether, because they always cling to the plastic and the resin. Even sequins tend to stick, so I use them very sparingly. I still have a lot of stuff to put into my shakers though. Glass beads, acrylic beads, bubble beads, micro beads, all kinds of polymer clay canes, embellishments and sprinkles, tiny metal embellishments and much more. And I use shrinking plastic to make special bits to put into my shakers, too. I found o I like quite plain shakers with rather few fillings the best, and I love themed shakers, so I made hedgehogs filled with some apple slices, a tiny earthworm and a few autumn colored leaves, cat's heads with flies, fish bones, (most people don't get those unfortunately 🤣) balls and a bow, a green popsicle with black micro beads, filled with kiwi slices. Etc, I think you get what I mean, and I almost always ad microbeads.
your tutorials are just fabulous young man. Current topics, easy to follow and very informative as well as bringing much needed smiles along the way...keep it up ya gawks hunk :-) x
These are complete news to me - you made a super job of them & I'm sure they'll be quick sellers on craft stands (come the revolution!) Have I missed the advent of your new anti-bubble pressure machine? A job finally came my way and I haven't yet caught up with all your videos but I'm really looking forward to seeing you demonstrate it :)
Thank you Steve for this video. I have bought the shaker molds and didn't know how to make them You have made them look great and your instruction are easy to follow.
I have a one bedroom apartment, my desk, tv and bed are in my bedroom, I have no living room/dining area, it's my craft room......only one seat on the couch (in case I have a visitor), the rest is craft storage and craft tables and one craft chair.
I am still having problems with my pippettes. I honestly think I'm just dumb, because you never seem to have any problem with them, and I can't believe I have over 100 of these ridiculous things and not one works...it HAS to be me.... but I have no idea what I am doing wrong! *I tried squeezing, then placing it in the resin to soak up the resin (like a turkey baster) *I tried squeezing it IN the resin to suck up whatever it can. *I've tried cutting them shorter *Cutting at an angle *Cutting the dang bulb and just trying to manipulate my pour into it so the base will pour out in a smaller pour (like a funnel) And no matter what I do, I can't suck the resin up and if I have it up it doesn't want to pour out 🤪🥴😫
I love watching your videos. But I feel kinda sad right now... I tried to go watch the video you advertised; about cleaning the pipettes, and I was not allowed to watch it because it is only for your members. ~ I know the members get special content, and that's fair. But it sort of feels like you're rubbing our noses in the ones we can't have, because we're not a member. (It reminds me of when I was a child, and the cousins got a treat because their parents could afford it, and my siblings and I did without AND had to watch them enjoy their treat. I don't think the cousins should have gone without a treat just because we did... but they should have gotten the treat away from us, so that we did not know we were missing out.) I hope that makes sense. - I know non-members don't get all the content; but perhaps don't advertise the ones we can't have access to. Just a thought. ~~ Looking forward to your next video! ~ Love ya!
Did I hear you say you figured out how to clean out the pipettes/eye droppers after using uv resin in them - I would be interested in hearing your method. (lol, nincompoop - love that word lol)
You are so funny. Same here. I knew why I save my things too. Never know when you are going to use it. You had them laughing. Stay safe and many blessings
Haha, you don't need Simon Cowell. You already are a superstar!! Love your singing, love all your expressions and think I am addicted to your channel. Every time I do resin, I use your terms and go "squidgy widgy" and "tappy wappy", smiling all the time. You are such an inspiration, keep up your great work! ❤
Hi...Question. Will minwax polycrylic work with alcohol inks on a tumbler? I am allergic to EPOXY😭😭😭so I paint glitter and all that jazz then use the polyacrylic for the rest. Help!!! Thankyou in advance Cheers☕ from Ontario Canada. Have a great day🎈
Watched another resin doer, use 99% alcohol spray, spritzed over the completed piece and it popped all the bubbles before waiting to set up. Try, you might like it. She didn't use a torch or lighter. Might save your molds.
I forgot to put the shaker bits in a couple of times, too. 🤣 I found that you can remove the plastic quite easily with a sharp blade like a crafting knife. The bond between epoxy and UV resin is not very strong.
Thank you for sharing your process. I have been taking the plastic to the edge and have had them pop off and yes, a disaster happens. Definitely will try not pouring the rim with the bottle tip. Also, what size eyelet screws do you use, the ones I have often break off in resin when screwing them in. 😕 Thanks again for this video.
Alcohol deteriorates expensive molds quickly & removes their finish. I keep seeing more & more TH-cam artists doing this.. it may be they only use a mold once or twice so they don’t know or simply don’t care because they’re constantly moving onto new ones. For the rest of us taking care of our molds is top priority. Steve is absolutely giving you great suggestions. Long neck lighters work perfectly for zapping bubbles & I found that even the lighters from the dollar stores are refillable! I bought a twin pack for $1 and had the same two lighters for over two years. I spray my molds with release spray before pouring them ..and then after I clean them I spray again for storage.. keeping them separately in a zippee bag till next time. Then I spray right before pouring bc the spray I did for storage has absorbed but that extra spraying keeps them soft & pliable. Happy Arting! 👌💯🌹🌹🤤
I’m so happy you did a video on these because this is what I’d like to do with resin the most. 😁🎉 5:17 idk what’s made you laugh to yourself but I’m here for it 😂👍

These are some of my favorites to make!! They can be soo challenging tho! I swear you make the exact videos I need
You could use coloured oil in the one you sealed before filling that would look nice
Innokin Endura II. In rainbow colours! Wonderful.

Love your videos, Steve. Quick question. What embellishments you think are good for shakers? Because i find glitters will cling to the plastic.

I'm really glad I found this video. I wasn't quite sure of what shakers molds were or how to use them. This has been very helpful!
Yes, this is the first I heard of them! I love them, but don't know who to give them to LOL Plus "car freshies", just hearing of them also.
Glycerine with a little or no water is great for things to float in. I also like not putting any liquid in, just a nice noisy shaker. Hugs x Ann x
I like the glycerin effect too but sometimes that mixture can cause mold growth. 🙁
Thank you Steve for this video. I have bought the shaker molds and didn't know how to make them You have made them look great and your instruction are easy to follow.
I was so confused because I didn't know what shaker was. Eventually I got it. Lol. Lots of work for tiny items though.
Excellent tutorial, Steve! It's very inspiring. Thanks for all you do!
I'm impressed!!! Yours turned out so nice.... I've made a few, however, mine don't turn out as pretty. Love the heart
I know, my stuff never turns out as pretty as all these videos do, but I keep trying.
Can you please post a link for the alcohol, thanks.
I love that you forgot to put the shaker charms inside first haha that made me laugh lol your fun to watch
OMG! You are a riot! I too am a hoarder...er...crafter. Thank you for this video. I love them all!
I have a one bedroom apartment, my desk, tv and bed are in my bedroom, I have no living room/dining area, it's my craft room......only one seat on the couch (in case I have a visitor), the rest is craft storage and craft tables and one craft chair.

Can you use any resin mold and not use any liquid in them
Did I hear you say you figured out how to clean out the pipettes/eye droppers after using uv resin in them - I would be interested in hearing your method. (lol, nincompoop - love that word lol)
Steve where did you get the alcohol pump bottle?
They're on Amazon also - they're called "nail polish remover pumps"....cuz that's what they originally used them for.
I can't do epoxy resin, will UV resin work for the base shaker mold also?
The link isn’t showing a join button? Would love to be a member, am I missing something?
"As I'm a hoarder- Whoops, I mean as I'm a crafter"
I feel so seen
You are so funny. Same here. I knew why I save my things too. Never know when you are going to use it. You had them laughing. Stay safe and many blessings
How can I make them soft and flexible but strong
What do we do if the resin spills over the edge when doming?
I’m a hoarder ahem crafter 😂😂😂subscribed!
Love your videos thanks for your help
Can you add pigment color to the baby oil for a bit of color?
Wat is that plastic sheet n Wat is it’s thickness
Love to hear you sing again Steve, really cheers me up😁 love this weeks tutorial too, 😊
OMG! I have two of these waiting to be finished!
Steve cracking himself up cracks me up 😂
Love when he calls himself a "nincompoop" I haven't heard that word in so long, I think it was my Grandma - nuttin' personal Steve.
I’m laughing cuz I’m like why didn’t he put anything inside!?! LOL I thought you maybe did it on purpose until you told on yourself!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I’m happy you showed it!

Steve, can you recommend an economical uv resin? I've gotten burned buying cheap.....it takes a whole day to cure! Lol. Pointless.
Will laminate sheets that we use for laminating work as the acetate sheets? (only one of course)
Depends, is it frosted? You might not get the best image inside.
Clevah boy!
🎉Very cool 😎
I noticed you use promarine resin. I have wanted to try it but have heard the wrong resin can ruin the project, is this what you use all the time?
Love them
Very cute
Thanks!
So cute
Steve!! Hope you're doing great 👍 Thanks for the video, ive been looking at trying cause they're cute but need to focus!
I love it when you laugh because it is the same laugh as Ricky Gervais and I'm a big fan of him
Steve I absolutely love you and your videos!! You make me laugh. Your videos really help me out!!
Where did you get the alcohol wipe bottle??
they're called nail polish remover pumps - there's some on Amazon
I just saw that gadget at the dollar tree. I totally got a couple. They are super handy!
I love the little extra from the shakers. TFS!
I forgot to put the shaker bits in a couple of times, too. 🤣 I found that you can remove the plastic quite easily with a sharp blade like a crafting knife. The bond between epoxy and UV resin is not very strong.
acetate does not stick well to anything, I'm surprised resin hold onto it
Thank you for sharing your process. I have been taking the plastic to the edge and have had them pop off and yes, a disaster happens. Definitely will try not pouring the rim with the bottle tip.
Also, what size eyelet screws do you use, the ones I have often break off in resin when screwing them in. 😕 Thanks again for this video.
Hi again Steve - I’ve been through the list several times and I don’t see the eyelet screws listed. Am I just not seeing them? 😢
Love these, you are truly entertaining 😘
Have you tried the alcohol spritz to pop bubbles? I'm seeing it as an alternative to save the molds
Alcohol deteriorates expensive molds quickly & removes their finish.
