They're all so pretty but I like the black one better because you can see the holographic pieces better and then I like the clear one followed by the white one then the red one
I am a holo addict, anything holo, i go crazy for.. love this idea, i have nothing but holo nail polish i have been playing around with too. and yes, black is the absolute best color to showcase holo.
Oh so pretty!! The only drawback I see is that once you've poured resin on them you can't reuse the holographic material..... With the molds you can reuse them. You can even make or buy insert to go in different molds. I'm currently making several of different shapes and sizes for my own use. ( trays, jewelry, ect.) Just remember if you are going to make inserts that you NEED to make them very thin, and also make sure to treat them gently. Stay safe, you do you, and stay crafty👍👍🔔🔔🦋🦋
I make these but i put the film in my coaster rough side up. Pour in my resin and when its set i pull off the film then its permanently on the piece without all the extra steps you just did. Then if you want you can make a mold of that piece then you never need the film again.
Yes. I’ve seen others do it that way and it seems so simple. I can’t wait to start crafting again (I’m moving so everything is packed up) so I can do this.
@Dream_Sickle cut your window film to the size of your coaster. Peel off the backing and stick it to the bottom of the mold. Then add resin. After it cures, unmold it. Then peel off the window film if it sticks to the resin. It might stay on the mold which is great. That window film is pretty thick and resin doesn't adhere to it. I made a ton of windchimes out of coaster molds and that film. Just drill holes and add those clear crystals. Good luck sweetie!
QUESTION how do you think this would work in a pyramid or the lage crystal mold if stuck two pieces together back to back and put it in the center of the mold as you poured? New experiment maybe?
He made a video a few weeks ago about how to make a resin pyramid and save resin. If you use that technique in a clear pyramid and then go back after it cures put the holographic paper on and then fill up the rest of the pyramid it might work.
You must read my mind, lol. I just ordered a 25 pack of the same holographic sheets to see if this would work. There are 5 different holo prints in the pack. I purchased 1 holo mold, and as much as I love it, I wanted to make different things, but the molds can be pricey. I've been so afraid to try this for fear of wasting resin. Thank you so much bc now I am super excited to try so many different things!!!!!! Steve, you are the best & my favorite crafter hands down. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
HI Steve, OMG WOW 🤗 my goodness thank you so much for taking the time to do a demo & share your super lovely Sparkly holographic coasters I loved them 👍 I will definitely be looking Into getting some of the film 👍✨🤗😀 Lin
Probably a comment you have already heard, but I always save my expired gift cards & expired credit cards to use to burnish things like this. Extra bonus, they can be used to do dishes as well and actually have a couple local restaurants using them too to clean counters and cookware. Seems to be my underpaid calling these days with all the inflation hitting world wide.
Really pretty 😍 my favorite is also the black the colors shimmer so much really really pretty. I do like the others as well. Many thanks for sharing another great video Steve hugs from Québec Canada 🇨🇦 🤗 🫂
Cool idea Steve. They are really pretty and mesmerising to look at. I would love a set of the white and black ones! God bless you and those you love, now and always. Have a great day Steve!
I was thinking about trying out those molds to see if the end product really does come out holographic, but I don't want to be making coasters, so this video has been very useful
How funny that you & I bought the same holographic vinyl around the same time for the exact same reason 😁 I didn't use mine yet though. Wanted to do it during my time off but the 10 days I was off were super stressful for me due to some news I got. So actually did not one bit of what wanted to do 😭 But now I know at least thanks to you that it will work 💕
Brilliant idea, Steve! They're all so gorgeous! ❤😊 You're so right about holographic molds being very expensive. Ouch! Worth it, if you afford it, but...yikes. 😲 A black background always seems to show off holographic stuff best, for some reason.
Glad to hear you ordered your 3D printer it’s another obsession …. I swear your like the male crafter version of me jack of all crafts anywho I blame my adhd but what I was gonna say is that keep your eye out on Amazon warehouse for cheap PLA the warehouse staff are extra careless with stock and I get loads of bargains on warehouse don’t think I’ve had a single item that was a return all was broken boxes and so far all my PLA has been warehouse best one was half price cause the exterior box had a rip right through it!
I wonder if those Holographic Vinyl effect would transfer into the resin if sticked to the mold. Some crafters are using holographic window films to make a mold and the holographic transfers to the silicone mold. Then when you use that mold, it transfer to the resin.
Hi. Thank you so much for adding me to the member shout outs💖 (but you spelled my name wrong: it's Jay Smith not Smity, 😂. ) ... I loved this tutorial and I'm trying them tomorrow as soon as I get off of work. I loved the results of the black coasters and I can't wait to make them.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I'm so happy to have been able to finally join. I actually started resin crafting after watching your videos and I just have to say thank you so much.
Gorgeous as usual. Do you still sell things if they have an air bubble. Also do you add something like pads to the bottom of your coasters to stop them from sliding around on the surface.
Steve, I've become a paying member and answered all the questions to join Facebook group and have been declined three times. Help I don't know what else to do. And I just didn't know how else to reach out to you but to post a comment. Thank you
Those turned out really nice. This video reminded me of another floating around the tube somewhere detailing making holographic molds which were used for making holographic chocolates. Wonder if the same process could be used with resin? I've never actually done any resin projects but find your content very interesting 😊
It can. I had never seen anyone leave the holographic vinyl inside of the resin, but I like it, because you can put a clear coat over it, where as when you use the transfer method like on chocolate, you can not cover it or the effect goes away.
Hi Steve, thanks for the beginner video. I still haven’t moved beyond UV resin. I tried to make a bangle with an insert using a mold and finally did one without air bubbles but it still has a rough edge on top. Thought I poured enough resin but it still had a valley. Can you do a tutorial with bangle molds and inserts? Also, what exactly is a “torch?” I thought that was a “flash light” in British terms but you can’t pop bubbles with a flashlight. One other resin tutorial TH-camr advised against using a “lighter”. Is a short lighter more likely to melt the mold than a long neck lighter? Be well! “Enjoy your resin!”
Don't use a short lighter to try to pop bubbles. He uses a long one like is sold for candles or grills. I've seen people use butane torches, but I've also seen them catch things on fire doing so! If you use a shorter lighter there is a very good chance that you will set your thumbnail on fire. That is smelly and if you keep your nails short quite unpleasant. Keep your flame moving and away from your mold, and of course the fewer bubbles you put into your pour the fewer there are to try to remove!
Hi Steve, I used Epoxy resin for the first time and my lighter to pop the bubbles but I couldn’t get them all popped, the mould started to smoke, can you give me any advice please, Thanks Sheena
I thought I knew what you were doing...then you took a strange deviation lol. Dont waste the holo sheets. these work by using a very fine texture to create the holo effect, so you line the bottom with the sheet, rough side up, then pour into it. the sheets peel off and it creates a beautiful holo effect while being able to reuse the sheets.
Love the effect but you couldn't leave them in the mold and add the film as you won't be able to use the scraper on them for the bond and expelling of water.
Hi Steve! Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for larger sheets like this! Question: couldn’t you just stick it inside the mold and it would transfer? I’ve poured resin onto holographic sheets and it transfers over. But this idea is awesome also! 🙏
Oh my dayzzz! I wish I had seen this before buying one of those expensive moulds! Oh well I will use this idea too and double/triple my production! Lol Thank you Steve 😊 my resin guru!!
Hi Steve love how these turned out, Wendy @toonpishcrafts did something very similar to this but on a larger scale about 4 months ago you should check it out xx

These turned out great! The one with the black background is my favorite! Always love what you do! Thank you Steve 😊!!!
I love the holographic effect! I think the black one and the white one are my favorites. Beautiful!
Hi Steve, fellow Norfolkian here 😉 like you I think you can never have too much sparkle, it makes life happy.
Love these btw, right up my street.
Those look amazing AND its on sale for Canadians on Amazon.
You do the stuff with resin that I am to chicken to try
So trying this tomorrow on a tumbler!! Brilliant!!
Thats neat. Love the red one
I love the black one best. It looks like black opal!
They're all so pretty but I like the black one better because you can see the holographic pieces better and then I like the clear one followed by the white one then the red one
Love the black background one. The others are good too.
Hi Steve it's 2nd April 2023 and this is the first time of seeing you loved this have now subscribed. Ty 😂
That looks awesome Steve, very nice effects 👍 😀
Great idea! Love the black😀
For me, this is a game changer. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
Perfect!! Thank you for sharing
Sweet - love this idea - thanks for the awesome share
thank you for your videos it has given me the confidence to start using resin., and i made some coasters.
Great work love the outcome

Do you mean you put a thin layer of clear resin, cure then add the film, then more resin on top
@tattersall66 no I stick the film in my mold. Then resin.
Thanks for sharing great tips ❤️

Where do you sell your Resin pieces?
Love this! Where can I get the clear holographic vinyl?
Steve I was wondering if you have ever thought of getting the glasses for your color blind?

I am a resin virgin, do you think this would help create a night sky effect? I eventually want to create a side table.

They look lovely Steve! Are they heat resistant?
I luv them, but... What about cutting, like a cat/dog, Micky Minny or something like that. That would b cute

Can you cut the vinyl with a die cutting machine?

Can I do that with holographic window film?

Is that regular holographic contact paper?
Why do you add vinyl? You said you would sell them for $25. Is that each or for a set of four?
Is the vinal sell sticking
Love the effect but you couldn't leave them in the mold and add the film as you won't be able to use the scraper on them for the bond and expelling of water.
I have tried this and had a LOT of trouble getting the film down without bubbles, which is a bummer. I was totally with you on your thought process!
The white one looks like opel
Hallo Steve kannst du mir bitte den link zu den Folien für das deutsche Amazon sagen ich finde es nicht dankkkeee
❤️❤️❤️
👍
If it sparkles or is shiny we need it
I thought you were going to use the holographic moulds… trying to find some WITHOUT fingerprints in them!!!!!
Have you ever tried using cake sprinkles in resin? It might make a nice effect.
$20 for each one, or for a set of four?
Are you going to shave down the edges that are sticking up?
Hi Steve! Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for larger sheets like this! Question: couldn’t you just stick it inside the mold and it would transfer? I’ve poured resin onto holographic sheets and it transfers over. But this idea is awesome also! 🙏
you know you can take an silicone print of that plastic and sit it on top of almost cured resin
That’s similar to getting an expensive holographic mold or an insert.

Oh my dayzzz!
I wish I had seen this before buying one of those expensive moulds! Oh well I will use this idea too and double/triple my production! Lol
Thank you Steve 😊 my resin guru!!
The red one is really cool hey do you have an American facebook page
Hi Steve love how these turned out, Wendy @toonpishcrafts did something very similar to this but on a larger scale about 4 months ago you should check it out xx
