Oh goodness, I've been looking for a clear and concise video looked this FOREVER. Very simple, and I love that you put exactly what your were doing and what you were using. THANK YOU!!!
I make my dirty pours over a silicone sheet, and the drips are so awesome! I let them dry then glue down the flat clear glass marbles to the dried paint. Let dry a couple of days, then trim around the excess. Seal, dry, and glue a magnet to the back. These make great fridge magnets!!
beautiful! When I first came across this type of art I wondered what I could come up with if i poured onto something I could then take the picture up from. Now I know. Plus I have a few ideas now of my own. Loved that colour combo too
Love it!!! Just a little note for people using E6000, if it's something you might use once or twice; try and get it in the smaller tubes. I have one big tube that I hadn't used in about 6 months and it was almost impossible to open and the glue had a hard time working properly. =)
Thank you So Much for this tutorial. I’ve been excited to try acrylic pour technique, but I’m afraid of wasting a canvas and paint if I don’t like my color combos. I’m definitely going to try making skins for jewelry first. I think it will be a good safe first step to try. I’m excited to make cabochons for bead weaving and bead embroidery using what you taught in this tutorial. Thanks again!
Could you use the Diamond Glaze to glue the skin-covered dome to the bezel? The bottle says it’s an adhesive and much easier to clean off the glass dome than E6000. I have a love-hate relationship with that stuff...lol.
Yes, you could use the diamond glaze for attaching the skin to the bezel. I tend to make a bigger mess with the Diamond Glaze which is why I don't use it in the bezel. The E6000 is thicker and I can get it where I want with a smaller amount. I don't like the odor though and would forgo it for the Diamond Glaze if I knew for sure the Diamond Glaze's adhesion is comparable to E6000 long term.
Brilliant idea, it could also be used for to decorate an old card or small bought jewellery box or coffee table top. if the top had resin poured on top and smoothed out, 🌺🌹🌺🌹🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁 or even a bezel connecters for a bracelet with the acrilic skins would look awesome with matching rings,so many things can be used ,with this art so beautiful
Thanks! It's wonderful! Please, answer, paint is one part and glue -2 parts? Yes? And some more question-why do your paints not mix? It's very nice! My paints mix... I cannot understand why...It's very sad for me. Thank you for answer.
Hi Nicky. I know I've already commented on this great video but forgot to ask do you have any tips on storing acrylic skins. Mine always kind of stick together even though I put clingfilm in between the layers - would freezer paper work do you think? Cheers, Deb T. P.S Thank you again for your creativity and sharing. Cheers, DT
Nicky, I just watch another guy using skins from his pours to make pendants with and ....I'm sorry, but they were...well...ugly. Your colors and cells are SO beautiful. You should sell just the skins with a tut. Might make a few bucks. The silicone pad is a brilliant idea...you're the best!😎😎😎
I do something similar, but I use resin rather than buying the glass and diamond glaze. I mix it and use a syringe to put the resin into the broach, pendants mould etc. Acrylic skin in first once it is dry then topped with the resin. Looks every bit as good and effective, cheaper too than the diamond glaze.
I just bought a tube of E6000 and used it for the first time. It was so stringy and hard to use. Is there anything I can do to make it more user friendly? You didn’t seem to have any problems using it.
Hello! Thank you so much for this very informative vIdeo, I enjoyed watching it and the result was beautiful! I'm just wondering how to get a smooth surface after the paint dries, I tried once before and I keep getting holes/pinholes and uneven surface..Even on silicon mat.. do you have any advice for avoiding that? Any information would be so helpful!
Hi Nicky...I’m creating a list from your amazon page...I see the glass domes but which item is for the backs for those glass domes? (I’m making the magnets) The only ones I can find on Etsy have pendant loops attached..? ...also..do I need the foam adhesive circles you show on your amazon list page??? Thanks for your video tutorial and your advice!☺️
I used the foam circles on the original magnets I made without the bezels. There is a video for those as well, link in the description. It's difficult to find the 30mm bezel cups. The ones I purchased were from this Etsy seller. www.etsy.com/shop/maxnmesuppliers
I bet you get a crowd with everybody picking out their favorite ones! I've seen the craft store also has bracelets you can set them into. They're so unique & beautiful!
Nicky I watch almost all y our videos and love each one. in this one you said that you mix glue 2-1....is that just for skins or do you do that with all you work
I have just started doing this and I love your videos thanks for sharing! I pour my skins in a cat litter box get them at the dollar store lol but I had a question? Why do you use just glue and not floetrol too? And does the glue yellow over time? Thanks in advance I get so much inspiration from your videos thanks for sharing!
these are really neat! thankyou for your videos =) i've made like 8 pour paintings so far. I keep having them crack when they dry, which is extremely dissapointing. Have you had issues with this? how do you prevent it?
Mindy Atkinson+ Pouring mediums such a Liquidtex, GAC800, or even a mixture of PVA glue (like elmers glue all) are reputed to prevent cracking in your paint. I've used mainly the Liquitex and have not had any issues with cracking. Hope that helps.
Alot of people get it on Amazon. You can also use coconut oil hair serum found at Walmart, but only a little. The serum is thicker than the treadmill silicone, that's what its listed under. Treadmill oil
Thank you so much for the quick response. I agree yours are really beautiful. I'm just learning (I.e., obsessing) about this new art form and will experiment for a while. Love your videos! Thank you!
I use the Diamond Glaze between the glass and skin, so in my case it wouldn't matter if the E6000 yellowed between the skin and the tray, because it isn't seen.
I didn't use any paper. These skins are poured directly onto the silicone mat and then peeled off. I don't recommend pouring onto paper. Leaving paper on the skins can cause issues with moisture and bubbles showing up under the glass during the curing time.

I'm having a terrible time with air bubbles. :( any advice?
So pretty! I recently started pouring then I learned you can do stuff with the skins!! that's so awesome. Thank you!
I just had a great idea. How about gluing button holes on the back and sell in groups of 4 on a card. With that...I just turned into a genius 😎😎😎 LOL
Jeannie Winters+
Weird, I was thinking buttons the whole video! Liked the pins/magnets...but what about buttons?? LoL.
Lovely tutorial and a nice set of pendants 😋
beautiful! When I first came across this type of art I wondered what I could come up with if i poured onto something I could then take the picture up from. Now I know. Plus I have a few ideas now of my own. Loved that colour combo too

You can apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the tube cap before closing it and it will help open the tube with ease after a long time of not using it.
Mansi Makes awesome idea! I’m going to do that from now on.
Thanks!
Really nice!!
Hi did you add paint and glue in the ratio 1:2 or the other way around. Loved the work. 👍🏻
Thanks sooo for sharing!
You are one smart lady!!!
Beautiful Art...
I looked on your Etsy store...
and you only had one (1) item
for sell?!

Hi could you please tell me what type of paints you used for this craft. And also is this durable
What a coincidence... Michael's had a close out on some pendant supplies... great timing for this video! Thanks a million 😎
love that jewellery where do you get the clear pendants please
Thank you so much for sharing this. I made some after watching this with my acrylic pouring paint skins and they turned out beautiful!

Woooooooooow
Thank you, I’d like to ask why e600 can I use glazed diamond on bezel instead ?
Also, can I add dried flower or it will cause pumps ?
Thanks! It's wonderful! Please, answer, paint is one part and glue -2 parts? Yes? And some more question-why do your paints not mix? It's very nice! My paints mix... I cannot understand why...It's very sad for me. Thank you for answer.
Contact Adhesive works better if you allow the time the manufacturer suggests before putting the 2 ends together - much stronger bond.

Wax paper?
I'd agree with wax paper. I used wax paper as a barrier before running it through my Big Shot with a die cut; worked great!
Yep, I use wax paper
Maybe the humidity where you are makes it harder. Freezer paper works for me
I love your project they turned out great! And using a silicone mat, never heard of that. I love the music too its very relaxing.
Why do you guys all us so much glue? Wouldn't half the amount work and not ooze out the sides?
Nicky, I just watch another guy using skins from his pours to make pendants with and ....I'm sorry, but they were...well...ugly.
Your colors and cells are SO beautiful. You should sell just the skins with a tut. Might make a few bucks. The silicone pad is a brilliant idea...you're the best!😎😎😎
If selling these at a craft fair, how much should I ask for them? Thanks,
Thanks for video and sharing you’re lovely pendants. Do you remove the silicone from the dried paint before gluing to glass?
I have just started making these myself but the Diamond Glaze is so expensive here in the UK. Wonderful pendants, Thanks for sharing :)
I do something similar, but I use resin rather than buying the glass and diamond glaze. I mix it and use a syringe to put the resin into the broach, pendants mould etc. Acrylic skin in first once it is dry then topped with the resin. Looks every bit as good and effective, cheaper too than the diamond glaze.
That's a good idea! Thanks.
Have you tried Glossy Accents or gel Mediums?
I just bought a tube of E6000 and used it for the first time. It was so stringy and hard to use. Is there anything I can do to make it more user friendly? You didn’t seem to have any problems using it.
The only thing I can think of is maybe try warming the tube in a cup of warm water.
Fluid Art Studios Thank you, Ill give that a try! 😀

Thankyou so much for your videos Nicky, you answer questions I didn't know I had and help inspire so much.
I really like the idea very creative
that's a brilliant idea and they look beautiful

Looks better than any pour that I've see with Flotrol!
Those came out lovely!
I can’t seem to find the pin backs for these but I really love this video
Oh, Nicky. Those are so beautiful. So many ideas come to mind. Thanks for showing this to us.
Goin' in the "Other Kool Krafts" playlist
Very nice and beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing ❤
You should try doing the same to christmas ornaments!!!
New sub. If this is where I started I can't wait to see what else you have in store for me. Thank you for sharing your art.
beautiful and so different, and from only one pouring session, woooowwwww!!!
Thank you for sharing your technique and beautiful work! You are amazing!
That is just the best thing I've seen
Lovely work. Thank you for sharing.
Love it!! I’ll sure to try this! ❤️
Thank you for sharing it!

i love them too, am thinking the flotroel makes the cells, so if you dont want cells, then? :)
I actually use floetrol as well as glue (because usually make skins from leftovers) and they turn out very celly and awsome :)
Melony Knudson with glue after some time dont know how much expecif it starts to crack and pealing of
@@soulwinds31 silicone makes the cells
these are really neat! thankyou for your videos =)

You may be using too much water. I dont use any water, only flotrol. OR paint is too thick on canvas
bellissimo, fantastico, eccezionale...
How nice!
Hi, please does silicone (?) drups do the same with nail polish? Where to buy this liquid.. so i can try it on nailpolish..
Alot of people get it on Amazon. You can also use coconut oil hair serum found at Walmart, but only a little. The serum is thicker than the treadmill silicone, that's what its listed under. Treadmill oil
Love the magnets, but the bezel cups are hard to find. Are they absolutely necessary? Could the magnet be glued directly to the back of the skin?
No, they are not a necessity. They just make for a nice finished look.
Thank you so much for the quick response. I agree yours are really beautiful. I'm just learning (I.e., obsessing) about this new art form and will experiment for a while. Love your videos! Thank you!
Wow these are amazing! Cheers, DEB T
Gorgeous! What else can you do with this stuff-- beyond magnets??
They would look great as pendants in metal bails!
Omg 😍 wicked ideas
great idea, thanks or sharing.
E6000 yellows over time. Does this make a difference with the skins & the glue?
I use the Diamond Glaze between the glass and skin, so in my case it wouldn't matter if the E6000 yellowed between the skin and the tray, because it isn't seen.
Nicky James Burch o
So cool! Can't wait to try!
this is really really coool,,,,,,,,
È possibile tradurlo in italiano.?
Hello Nicky they all look so professionally done love, awesome xx
Thanks Paul. I appreciate the encouragement. 💛
NICE MUSIC too....
they sure are beautiful!
totally fun,,, thanks
very beautyful
They're beautiful, thanks for sharing ☺️
The canvases I purchase come already prepared, so I do not gesso.
Beautiful
I love it.
All nice! Tfs
Where do you buy the empty jewelry pieces?
etsy and amazon has some I believe
Wow..wunderschön
what type of paper do you use?
I didn't use any paper. These skins are poured directly onto the silicone mat and then peeled off. I don't recommend pouring onto paper. Leaving paper on the skins can cause issues with moisture and bubbles showing up under the glass during the curing time.
Glitter...
My skin crack when drying please advice
Marie La Rue - its too thick, you need to either make your paints thinner, or spread them out more once poured
was the ratio of glue to paint 1 part glue to 2 parts paint please
Katrina Hoskin I think it said 2:1 glue to paint, so more glue, less paint.
