Ooooo this is absolutely genius Wensy .. even if the magnets weren't strong enough nobody is gonna be lifting the board like that .. 🤣🤣 only me if I lose the game of course 🤣🤣 what a fab mould though 😍😍
I think I have bought just about every single mold that Let's Resin has to offer! I love their alcohol inks, micas, pigments, glitters, 2 part Resins and I use their UV Resin exclusively… I love their stuff!!! Their chess pieces are nice, but man are they a pain in the arse to de mold! But I found that if Inused just a little bit of dish soap, they pop right out and turn out beautiful!
This is the most beautiful set I’ve seen, believe me I’ve been searching and watching. I’m making one for my GrandAwesome (1st born Grandson) for Christmas as His Special gift from MeMe (Grandmother). He is very sentimental and intellectual. I only hope I can can do justice to your beautiful artistry. Going to go for blue and gold colors. Please wish me luck and inspiration. I make my crafts from the heart for each loved one. Thank YOU!!!!!
Deb I do wish you luck and hope you have lots of fun in the process 😀😀😀 blue and gold sounds fantastic and what ever you make I’m sure your grandawesome will love it 😍 ❤️
Spraying a mold with isopropanol before pouring resin in the mold you will reduce bubbles before hand if not every bubble 😉👌❤️🫶👌also demold in warm soapy water. Trust me it's makes things easier by far so better than isopropanol and cheaper 😉😉😉😉👌
Thank you Mark 😀😀😀 I do know about both these things but sometimes just don’t do them 😳🤭🤷♀️ I really appreciate you telling me though 😀😀 thanks so much 👍😀❤️
Beautiful end results Wendy love it ❤️ your colors are beautiful that red is stunning love love love it with the glitter 😀 great idea with the magnets and using tinsel from Christmas garlands gonna go buy some at the dollar store .. Christmas 🌲is my absolute favorite time of year and I've been making my own decorations for roughly 25 years not with resin just other crafts ... many thanks for sharing another great video hugs from Québec Canada 🇨🇦 🤗 🫂😘 stay safe
Thank you Carol 😀😀 sounds like you are an expert at the Christmas decorations then 😀😀😀 tinsel is fantastic in resin and Christmas is such a fantastic time to make gifts for people 😀😀👍❤️
@@Toonpish no no I'm no expert I just love making them especially with the grandkids.. yes I gave several as presents .. love to show you some of the things I've made in the past years. Too bad I didn't think to take pictures 25 years ago when I started I don't have those anymore 😔 😕 my ex of 20 years may he rest in peace, when we broke up he didn't give me any of the Christmas decorations nor the ones I made or the ones my Mother gave me let me tell you she was 😡 Thanks for answering so quickly ☺️
Aww that’s such a shame. But we didn’t have easy access to photos then, it was a different time 😀😀 Enjoy your decoration making with your family and take lots of photos 😀😀👍👍
Amazing & Beautiful Wendy!! Oh boyee you have the patience of a saint. I haven’t bought a chess set bc the commitment is phenomenal to me. I know it’s worth it but I also know I’ll put it aside 1/3 way thru 😂. It’s a lost art/game/strategy that we should be teaching our kids. I’ll never forget all the hours & day’s thinking about chess & what moves or how I should have moved. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art pieces with us 🌹🌹🌹
I played chess as a kid and was never very good but my son plays it and he is so much better 😂😂 It sounds like you are very good 😀😀 I prefer connect 4 😂😂😂
Wendy, you are a glutton for punishment, but wow! Yours always shine and are way above anyone else's! I love your "way above" style. You take me past my comfort zone and push my own creativity. Thank you, these are gorgeous.
Absolutely, positively STUNNING!! My heart broke a little when the magnets didn’t work out after all the effort, but it’s still gorgeous and watching the pieces “snap” into place on the board is still very satisfying ❤
It's gorgeous! The way the tinsel reflects through the clear resin is amazing, the sparkle and the board all come together so well. I haven't played chess in ages, no one I know can play and the friends I used to play with aren't interested anymore.
Love it all, the snowflakes were a brilliant idea, so were the magnets and the tinsel is just 😍 I love your videos you are so inspirational and have so many creative ideas which are achievable for everyone so thank you for sharing x
Love this! Even with the hiccups. But learning as you go is always the best teacher. I've learned if you want more opacity with your glitter is to add a little mica powder in with it so it doesn't take away from the shine of the glitter. Also, with black glitter, to make it shine under epoxy you almost always need to add a little silver glitter to it, or use holographic.
Thank you Krista 😀😀 I don’t use glitter half as much as I think I should because I don’t like the mess 😂😂😂 but I do love the effect and thanks to you I understand it a little better 😀👍❤️
@@Toonpish I do epoxy tumblers and it confounded me as to why my black glitter didn't look as pretty under epoxy as it did in the bottle lol it was lots of research and asking questions. I used to hate glitter and now I want to put it on everything. A lint roller or a desk top vacuum help with the glitter mess, baby wipes too.
HI Wendy, First of all I would just like to say I really loved your intro super sweet 🤗. WOW I thought you done a really super duper job & the colours really looked absolutely superb Love u Love your channel Lin
My wife and I are just trying our first resin kit out tonight! Simple coaster and stand set to see how the process goes. But I can not WAIT to do the Chess Set. I love Chess, and I am very excited to make my own set (again...I did randomly sculpt and entire set out of modeling clay, which I fired in my counter-top pizza oven, in my college dorm in like 2004 lol)! I was wondering about using magnets, and you've made it clear that it can be done! I'll remember your tip about making sure to use pigment to hide the magnets! Cheers, from Las Vegas!
Good luck with your coasters and stand. My very first piece was weird green and sticky and never cured 😂😂 but I was totally hooked 😀😀 I’m sure you will be fine but if not, don’t give up 😀😀❤️👍
Yeah youtube, you were right to put this video in my recommended list ... I mean I don't play chess... I don't use epoxy ... And I could not care less about Christmas ... But somehow, I enjoyed every second of that video... Well played ! Thank you for your video then Toonpish Crafts !
Beautiful! My thought is to put a thin sheet of metal in the board between layers of resin instead of the magnets. Then put magnets only in the chess pieces or checkers. Then you don’t have to worry about getting the polarity correct. Mind you, I haven’t actually tried this yet. Just ordered the let’s resin chess set. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
Yes that would work Linda I think 😀😀 I did think of it but didn’t have any metal so it was out of the question 🤔🤷♀️😂😂 I have been told that the tiny tiny magnets are much stronger 😀😀 Good luck with your project 😀 have a wonderful Christmas 😀🎄😀
WOWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB ON THIS CHESS BOARD . IT CAME OUT STUNNING WITH THE CHRISTMAS SCENED THEME . AND THE MAGNETS WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL FROM WHAT I SEEN HERE . GREAT VIDEO . WENDY I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE SET FOR SURE AND THE GLITTERS AND I DO LIKE THE STRANDS OF THE MULTI COLORED CHRISTMAS TINSEL LOOKED SO STUNNING ALONG WITH THE SNOWFLAKES . IT ALL WAS FULL OF HARD WORK AND DAYS N HOURS OF YOUR INTENSIVE HARD WORK . SO MANY DONT SEE THAT PART OF THE INTENSE HARD WORK YOU GO THROUGH TO DO THESE LIKE THE OTHER ONE YOU HAD MENTIONED WITH ONE PIECE AND 16 DAYS JUST TO DO THOSE PLUS , THE ECT ECT ECT . ITS HARD WORK REGUARDLESS . BUT THIS ONE HAD WAY MORE FOR YOU IN PIECES OF THE CHESS PART OF THE GAME AND IT HELPS IN THE LONG RUN OF THAT , BUT HARD WORK NONETHELESS . I AM SO PROUD OF YOU , THIS SET THAT YOU DID AND IT SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH YOU CARE OF YOUR ARTWORK . ITS BEAUTIFUL , AND SOMEONE WILL BE VERY HAPPY WHEN THEY PLAY ON THIS SET MADE WITH LOVE BY YOU . GREAT JOB WENDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY RESINING TO YOU .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AS WELL . HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND ENJOY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS .
Thank you Marguerite that is very kind of you. And yes some things take a long time to make and some take patience but all I really want is to inspire others to have a go and enjoy the process. Crafting is my escape from reality and helping others to enjoy it is well worth doing. Happy thanksgiving giving 😀👍❤️
Really gorgeous colours. The red tinsel is really rich looking but my favourite is the iridescent tinsel and glitter ones . love the snowflakes in there as well. Amazing x
Once again you have made a lovely project. I love that you have found a set that you can gift someone a chess set for Christmas or just keep it for yourself. You have a great holiday season.
Beautiful chessboard and set! You are such a patient woman! I like to think I have a fair amount of patience. But, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have gotten through doing those squares😅 and I can absolutely see myself making the same creative choices that you did so, thanks for “Do as I say, not as I do.” Because I’m sure I would’ve done as you did!😂 It paid off beautifully tho! I love the tinsel, it gives it such a magical quality. Putting the snowflakes on was a brilliant save and made the board wonderfully festive. Such a fun Christmas project.🎄Thanks for sharing Wendy❄️
I did have to think on my feet when I demoulded the board 😂😂😂 and I am glad I showed everyone the downfalls of what I did so they can learn from my mistakes 😂😂😂 thank you so much Funo 😀😀👍❤️
Hi Wendy, I have exactly the same chess set. I’ve made two sets.I found the board easy to do, however, making the chess pieces was a nightmare for me. No Matter how I tried I had bubbles in the moulds, some of the pieces even broke when I tried to de mould. As for getting them out the moulds this was rather a struggle. (I squeezed my moulds like crazy, still a few problems) Anyway, I persevered and won. So have two lovely chess sets. Have fun. Thank you for sharing all your lovely ideas. Blessings.
I’m so glad you didn’t give up and achieved your beautiful chess sets. They are quite tricky to demould but they are gorgeous 😀😀 thanks for your comment 😀❤️👍
The whole set is absolutely stunning. Love the colors. Let's resin have some amazing products. Try using heavy duty magnets. Like the one you put on Refrigerator magnets. That should work. As for the gap between the pieces I've seen people pour a clear layer on top of the board. That serves to protect the board but also fills in any gap. I love the little mixing spoons you use. Where did you get them? Thanks so much for sharing❤❤❤❤
Those little spoons were gifted to me so I really don’t know 😳😞 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 😀😀 the magnets I used were very small but quite powerful, and I didn’t want the pieces to attract each other on the board 😂😂 Live n learn though right 😀😀
They look awesome. I've been waiting for a decent chess set mould as the relatives have been pestering me for a set, having started making resin items.
You have nailed it Wendy 😍😍 Those chess pieces are absolutely stunning 🥰 Well done to you and thank you for sharing with us all 🤩👍I love the snow on the chess board as well .😍
This is so unique and beautiful ❤ I haven't been interested in this mold, but after seeing this video, I want to get this mold next month and make one. Thank you for sharing!
WOW Wendy. That is an amazing Chess set and as you said 8 moulds for the pawns makes so much sense. Do the instructions mention the volume of resin needed for the pieces and the board? I am going to buy one of these sets. Brilliant video Hun. Take care Wendy. Cheers, Huw
No I don’t think it does. And I didn’t measure it sadly. But I think the board takes about 2 litres at a guess. Maybe less. Ofc you don’t have to fill it completely. Thanks so much Huw
Hey Wendy, i am a Brit living in North Carolina. I just adore your videos and it stops me from being homesick when you talk about where you buy things lol!! This set is so lovely. Where do you live in the UK. I lived in Ingatestone, Essex for most of my life, Thanks again for your fun videos!!
these are gorgeous! the blue set is my fav. i dont think the snowflakes were too much at all. it was a perfect addition imo. i probably would have done the same tbh n.n
Absolutely beautiful Wendy 😍 You have amazing patience to do all that fiddly stuff. Definitely the best chess set mould I’ve seen and those glitters are stunning. You’re making me feel festive 🎄 x
Hi Wendy love how your chessboard turned out, so beautiful 😍, iv been looking for a decent chess set for a bit, I used to 0lay chess for my school, thanks for sharing ❤️ xx
Ooooo this is absolutely genius Wensy .. even if the magnets weren't strong enough nobody is gonna be lifting the board like that .. 🤣🤣 only me if I lose the game of course 🤣🤣 what a fab mould though 😍😍
Thank you honey 😀😀 it was definitely a fun project and yeah I would do the same if I lost 😂😂😂
We had to double the magnets on some glass pieces before they would stay on the glass calendar. Glass over metal intended for magnets.
I think I have bought just about every single mold that Let's Resin has to offer! I love their alcohol inks, micas, pigments, glitters, 2 part Resins and I use their UV Resin exclusively… I love their stuff!!!
Their chess pieces are nice, but man are they a pain in the arse to de mold! But I found that if Inused just a little bit of dish soap, they pop right out and turn out beautiful!
Yes I totally agree with everything you just said 😂😂😂
Thank you 👍❤️
Hi Wendy. These are gorgeous. My dad when I was very young used to take his Queen off to give me a better chance, but he always won ! Hugs 💕🦆
Don’t you just love the way dad’s teach you to try harder 😀😀❤️ my dad did the same with every game we played 😂😂😂
This is the most beautiful set I’ve seen, believe me I’ve been searching and watching.

Love it I made a chess board for my grandson I put his picture in every other square turned out fab and he loved it x
That’s fantastic and very unique 😀😀 Thank you Shirley 😀👍❤️
That Chess set is award winning. Wow it's so sparkly. Love it.🥰🥰🥰🥰🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🥰🐾🐾🥰🥰🌟🌟

That's gorgeous Wendy and the magnets are a great idea, I've never seen them used before. Hope all is well with you and hubby.
Thank you Patricia 😀😀 I would definitely make it more magnetic next time 😂😂 👍❤️
I love resin. There's something gorgeous about seeing transparent materials.
I totally agree Joe 😀😀 I have always loved glass but working with that is just beyond me 😀😀😀
Beautiful end results Wendy love it ❤️ your colors are beautiful that red is stunning love love love it with the glitter 😀 great idea with the magnets and using tinsel from Christmas garlands gonna go buy some at the dollar store ..

Catherine 😀😀😀 you are so very kind to me 😀😀😀 thank you so much 😀 and enjoy your crafting ❤️❤️
Love it Wendy. I collected chess sets. I had about a dozen different ones but, thanks to family they were stolen from me.
Oh that’s crazy 😥 perhaps you could make yourself a custom set 😀
Thanks Terry ❤️❤️
WoooW, it's gorgeous!!! 😍 Satisfaction comes after a lot of work, well done Wendy! 😍😊😘
Thank you Gulma 😀😀😀 I really appreciate that ❤️👍
Am completely lost for words at how this chess set turned out Wendy AMAZING JOB 🤗🤗🤭
Thank you so much Mary 😀😀😀 I really appreciate it 👍❤️
Too cool. I don’t know how to play chess, but I absolutely love what you created! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching 😀😀 and for your lovely comment 😀👍❤️
Absolutely, positively STUNNING!! My heart broke a little when the magnets didn’t work out after all the effort, but it’s still gorgeous and watching the pieces “snap” into place on the board is still very satisfying ❤
Yes I felt the same way 😂😂😂 but I definitely learned a lot through trying it and hopefully it will help others too 😀😀👍😀
You created a gorgeous chess set. You have amazing patience. Thanks for showing and for the tips regarding the bubbles. Beautiful! 👏🏻
You are very welcome Diana 😀😀 thanks for watching and commenting 😀😀👍❤️
It's gorgeous! The way the tinsel reflects through the clear resin is amazing, the sparkle and the board all come together so well. I haven't played chess in ages, no one I know can play and the friends I used to play with aren't interested anymore.
That’s a real shame Suzzie 😣 I don’t play myself but my son does and they always come round for Christmas. So it will be used 😀
Thanks so much 😀👍❤️
Love it all, the snowflakes were a brilliant idea, so were the magnets and the tinsel is just 😍 I love your videos you are so inspirational and have so many creative ideas which are achievable for everyone so thank you for sharing x

Chess set looks brilliant Wendy! Thanks for including the issue with the magnets, always good to learn from your mistakes!

I absolutely love it! It's really beautiful! I love the glitter and the iridescent tinsel looks amazing!
Thank you Lisa 😀😀😀 I love Tinsel too 😀😀👍❤️
So beautiful! A lot of work and thought but the results show it. Fantastic job.
Thanks Janet 😀😀❤️👍
What a superb job. I love it. My son was a blue ribbon chess player in school competitions. He would love the set you made.
I think I probably would as I love anything hand made 😀😀❤️
Looks great. Soapy water makes de-moulding those pieces so much easier
Thanks Linda 😀😀😀
@@Toonpish You're welcome
Wow! Super beautiful! Once again… love the blue!
Thank you so much 😀😀 yeah that blue is gorgeous 😀😀❤️👍
Yeah youtube, you were right to put this video in my recommended list ... I mean I don't play chess... I don't use epoxy ... And I could not care less about Christmas ... But somehow, I enjoyed every second of that video... Well played !
Thank you for your video then Toonpish Crafts !
Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😀😀
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀 I really appreciate it 👍 and loved your comment❤️
Wow, you are amazing, it’s beautiful! I had to edit to add how much I enjoyed every bit of this, thank you 😁🥰
Thank you Linda 😀😀😀 I’m very happy you enjoyed it 😀👍❤️
BEAUTIFUL!! And GREAT idea on the magnets
Thank you so much Tammy 😀😀😀💜
Beautiful! My thought is to put a thin sheet of metal in the board between layers of resin instead of the magnets. Then put magnets only in the chess pieces or checkers. Then you don’t have to worry about getting the polarity correct. Mind you, I haven’t actually tried this yet. Just ordered the let’s resin chess set.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
Yes that would work Linda I think 😀😀 I did think of it but didn’t have any metal so it was out of the question 🤔🤷♀️😂😂
I have been told that the tiny tiny magnets are much stronger 😀😀
Good luck with your project 😀 have a wonderful Christmas 😀🎄😀
Your a pleasant person to to watch. Some people act ditzy and I just can’t watch them. And the set is beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀😀💜👍
So clever Wendy, I love the uniqueness of this set. TFS!
Thank you so much Cher 😀😀 happy crafting 😀👍❤️
I always buy like in easter time those Easter basket filling iridescent straw fluff..just cut it and voilà!! Iridencent flakes for YEARS!!😻😻
Oh I haven’t seen that here 🤔 I will have to have a look around 😀😀❤️
Omg!!! This turned out amazing and so gorgeous Wendy. You are a genius 👏 🙌
Thank you so much Gail 😀😀😀 I’m no genius but I love creating stuff 😀😀😀
I use liquid dish washing soap to get those pieces out! They pop right out if you use a little bit of soap!
I will try it next time 😀😀 thank you 👍❤️
Crafting? mess ups? Never! lol These came out amazing Wendy, love them so much!!💜
Thank you so much Dee😀😀😀 wouldn’t be me if it was straight forward 😂😂😂

You have nailed it Wendy 😍😍 Those chess pieces are absolutely stunning 🥰 Well done to you and thank you for sharing with us all 🤩👍I love the snow on the chess board as well .😍

This is so unique and beautiful ❤ I haven't been interested in this mold, but after seeing this video, I want to get this mold next month and make one. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure 😊 😀😀 it’s definitely one to consider for a chess set 😀😀😀 glad you enjoyed it 😀💜
Very beautiful
Thanks Rene 😀😀👍❤️
Excellent
Thank you 😀❤️
I think if you used UV resin to attach the magnet to the pieces it would attach to the magnet on the board better.
Yes quite possibly 😀😀💜👍
Gorgeous,
Thanks Pam 😀😀😀😀
Beautiful pieces, absolutely love the use of the tinsel!! As well as the colors. So helpful thank you
Thank you so much! 😀😀👍❤️
It is a beautiful set!
Thank you Missy 😀😀😀
I had a lot of fun with it 😀😀😀❤️
WOW Wendy.
That is an amazing Chess set and as you said 8 moulds for the pawns makes so much sense.
Do the instructions mention the volume of resin needed for the pieces and the board?
I am going to buy one of these sets.
Brilliant video Hun.
Take care Wendy.
Cheers, Huw
No I don’t think it does. And I didn’t measure it sadly. But I think the board takes about 2 litres at a guess. Maybe less. Ofc you don’t have to fill it completely.
Thanks so much Huw
What an outstanding job ❣️❣️
Thank you so much Amanda 😀😀❤️👍

Hey Wendy, i am a Brit living in North Carolina. I just adore your videos and it stops me from being homesick when you talk about where you buy things lol!! This set is so lovely. Where do you live in the UK. I lived in Ingatestone, Essex for most of my life, Thanks again for your fun videos!!
