When making earrings or pendants with stickers, look for extra stickers of the same shape to place on the back, to cover the wire and make it look more finished.
I've kind of found myself in a funk, but you've given me a new direction to go in. Thanks Matt. You remind me so much of my brother, he passed away in 2021. I started doing jewelry making in his memory. He used to work at a binary putting magazines together and for Christmas one year he gave me a bunch of jewelry making magazines and told me he knew I had talent for it. I miss him terribly. His name is Matt too. Thanks again. Love your videos.
4th message... for those that don't know, Dollar Tree offers online, bulk shopping of most items you would find in store. That way , if item you're looking for is not in stock at store you go to, buy online
The hydro dipping looks like great fun. The earrings made from stickers are awesome! And your model is beautiful too!!! I need to get myself to the Dollar Tree TODAY! 🚙🛒
2nd message: Another tip is to lightly, quickly sand the surfaces of items you dip in the hydro-dip so paint will stick better. And you can use acrylic paint for this too I believe. And colored inks I think
@MattsCrazyArt great point Matt! Turns out there is a way to do hydrodipping with acrylic paints: thin the acrylic paints with water first Also, the water may need a dash of borax or cornstarch to change the density of water to allow hydrodipping But experiment first
The ideas are so creative! Have you thought about using other nail art supplies, such as nail stampers and water based nail stickers and other appliqués? The possibilities are endless! Those stickers are sensational! Coincidentally, I mentioned water marble nail art in an earlier comment on one of the earlier videos. If you use a squishy clear nail art stamper you would be able to grab the nail polish off the surface of the water and stamp it onto your bead (works best stamping onto something flat, maybe a popsicle stick). Let the polish dry a bit on the stamper first. By the way, what you call hydro dipping, is water marble, so try that search term 😂
More fab ideas, love it! I got some flat wooden embellishments (Nature themed) so I could use them in printing. I just realised they would make beautiful earrings too! Loving the hydro dipping with nail polish, so cool!
3rd messsge Another tip is heat the bare paper clips in a pan, then dip in water to cool, then straighten them out. It will be easier, and more bumps can be flattened
Awesome ideas Matt!!!! One tip for gluing the bails you made is use 2 glues, a fast drying one and a slow drying one. The fast drying one - like hot glue, or crazy glue-will get it to stick right away so you don't have to delay the process. The slow drying glue ensures a stronger bond to last
@MattsCrazyArt It may work for what you need,but I usually can't stand E600. It easily peels off. Believe it or not, Elmer's glue,I forget which kind, takes long to dry, but my crushed glass projects are unbelievably set in place after it has taken a week to dry: no peeling off at all. Extremely strong
This DTree is well stocked, lucky you Mattéo! Great interesting video with tips and crafting explorations. It got me going on water painting stuff I already had here & bought some funky glittery nail polish to finish the project, Yay!!! Ruben's music is good, especially like djembe :-) But what the heck is that sound at the beginning?!!!! No no for me 🤯 the intro is a bit too long for my ADHD 😂😅 C'est la vie!😊 You make me practice to focus🙂and try new colors and new materials, it's great!!! Merçi beaucoup de partager tes idées créatives, c'est inspirant!! Thank you darling!
This also makes me think ... what if you took a bead and painted it with blooming gel (nail art) and then nail polish (gel). I think I have a new project to start!
I have those packages of jewelry findings! I had to cut them open too! I don’t feel so bad, as I had to destroy the package to get all those findings out!😂 I love the puffy stickers idea for jewelry! And the “name” jewelry too!
Bead white beads are a glossy acrylic. Like glossy wall paint, nothing wants to stick to it, its wipeable. The nail polish will probably just peal right off.
I just the little square stickers for textures in clay to make earrings. I like the paper clip idea but the findings i feel would rust or cause allergies.
Have been doing some of the wood pop sticks the past few days, as a side note coloring pencils definately work on them. Little bit of clear fingernail polish and it no longer smuges.
They sometimes have paper clips with charms on them I get 4 sets of earrings for 1.25. Also the erasers from back to school you can make fast food themed jewelry.
Matt, I’m really glad that you found the jewelry pliers and jewelry making materials that I mentioned in my comment from your first video in this 3 part series. Sometimes it’s good to visit several different locations because not every Dollar Tree carries the same products. If you can find a Dollar Tree with a plus section, they carry resin and jewelry making molds along with dyes to make it more interesting.
Take the NAIL POLISH and paint the back side of those paper sticker earrings. The White color wont stand out so much and the color of sparkly polish with blend right in.
4:51 Aren't the stickers, well sticky, on the back? Did you just leave as is? I did read another comment about using a similar size sticker on the back, but im curious about what you did. Wnd yes, I'll be off to Dollar Tree tomorrow
I need to go to the dollar store and take a better look at the craft area. I need to try working with paper clips again. I tried after your other dollar store video but had no tools with me OUCH.
I mostly don't sell jewelry online anymore. I sell stones in a live show a couple nights per week - look for those - they usually go from 7-9pm Eastern Standard Time about 2-4 nights per week
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I just typed out a super long reply with all super dooper ridgydidge comments and praises that would have you thinking I was the best commenter but probably worst speller though best commer upper with new not even invented words yet to describe your talent and skill and how much I like it. Nail Polish - I want to try that too and have been buying a couple of different semi sparkly colours each time including a graphite colour with sparklies.... Wondering if addiing some nail polish remover or some Turpentine to the polish - even if you have to transfer the polish and its little ball in there to mix it, into another slightly bigger container - or get a couple of hands done and turps or remover in it.... shake the daylights out of it.... it might be a bit thinner and the water should still repell it. Those little 3D tiles are awesome. The Butterflies and leaves are superb - partiuclarly at the end when you folded the bits out more 😀 Overall - loves it loves it loves it. That popsicle stick you could make that end into a little heart and put a jump ring on it and give it to your neice for Valentines Day, or your Sister or someone as an extra goodie in their post packet. :--D

Jeanetta, that's so deep! 🤎
Awesome video Matt! So much inspiration! ❤
My dollar store needs to step up their game!!! LOL
You're a true artist and inspiration! Okay! I be going to my nearest Dollar Tree Store!❤
Hanging beads off side of container with paper clips cool. Paper clips have thin coating on them just strip it off. Didn't know that. Cool earrings.

Do they charge for shipping?
HYDRO DIPPING WAS SOOO COOL !
The hydro dipping looks like great fun. The earrings made from stickers are awesome! And your model is beautiful too!!! I need to get myself to the Dollar Tree TODAY! 🚙🛒
I like the gun metal paper clip wire and the swirly color.
Great job, a lot of really creative ideas! And Matt makes car rides fun!
I got those jewlery findings and tools at the dollar store too. I was so happy that they had them!

Acrylic paint is water based. I believe you need oil based paint to stay separate from the water
@MattsCrazyArt great point Matt! Turns out there is a way to do hydrodipping with acrylic paints: thin the acrylic paints with water first

So much fun!! Tysvm for making/sharing this kinda video! Really makes my day!! This inspires me to organize my studio!
That’s a great Dollar Store! So much stock 👍🏽

I had no idea finger nail polish did that. Hydro dipping is very cool.

That might work for some things but you don't need anything stronger than E6000 for this, which bonds in less than 2 min

Matt you sure know how to pick your stuff 👍😃👋 Matt i wish i could find stuff here at my dollar store like you do 👍😃
Experimenting work the colors and materials is the best part! I want to try at home!
Yaaas, this series is 🔥🔥🔥

Like the sticker Dimonds earrings
This also makes me think ... what if you took a bead and painted it with blooming gel (nail art) and then nail polish (gel). I think I have a new project to start!
I got a lot of these tools as well at the dollar store especially some of the puffy stickers 😊

Super cool jewelry,!!!!
I so look forward to these videos!
Wow your dollar store has so many beads!
You are very creative. Thanks for sharing.

Love❤❤❤❤❤❤music
That is Ruben Arana
LOVE IT ALL!!!❤❤❤
You are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. You make it so easy to make jewelry.

Sooo cool!! Love these ideas! 😊Any ideas for Apple Watch bands?
Make one
@@MattsCrazyArtI’ve made some already I just thought you might have some great ideas bc you always do!! 😀
I think the car ice scraper can be used on a canvas or poster board to make those scrape down art with acrylic paint.
Brilliant!
Love the way you get excited about your art. I have an order for girly earrings going to try some of your methods
They sometimes have paper clips with charms on them I get 4 sets of earrings for 1.25. Also the erasers from back to school you can make fast food themed jewelry.
Love these tutorials. I hope it's going to be a series.
so wish we had dollar store here in south africa😥
Stellar!

The BEST DOLLAR STORE YET GOING TO WATCH AGAIN. HYDRO?
Take the NAIL POLISH and paint the back side of those paper sticker earrings. The White color wont stand out so much and the color of sparkly polish with blend right in.

I don’t remember ever seeing that stuff at my dollar tree.
On your hydro dipping use warm water and add dish soap to it.
I ❤ the buck.25 tree! 🌳 ❤ But their acrylic paint 🎨 is not very good in my experience. I would skip that and get something else. Just my 2 pennies. 😊
I think your dollar store is more advanced than ours but I haven’t been out in awhile.
What do you do to the back of the earring?
Hydro dipping?
I need to go to the dollar store and take a better look at the craft area. I need to try working with paper clips again. I tried after your other dollar store video but had no tools with me OUCH.
Do you ever use those nylon coated pliers?
You don't have any links in the description that I can find. I mean, where do you sell your pieces? I was hoping to find a store.
I mostly don't sell jewelry online anymore. I sell stones in a live show a couple nights per week - look for those - they usually go from 7-9pm Eastern Standard Time about 2-4 nights per week
This song! Leave me alone?
How do I find soundtrack?
I want a do nail polish!
Spray paint the back sides

Too multi crafty for me...I'm a one trick pony😂
Then just buy the beads and make simple earrings with bead stacks
Dooar twenty five store?
