Fran, your products are the best available. Loved this tutorial. I am using the washi tape tutorial for my fall art shows. Thanks again for another useful tutorial and great products.
Those are lovely and we are on the same wavelength because I've been making postage stamp jewelry with my Little Windows resin, too! I wish we could post pics in comments on TH-cam! Did you use anything to coat the fronts first before applying the resin? I would have been afraid the colors would bleed. Your idea of stabilizing them by just painting the back was very smart!
Hello! Great minds..... I'd love to see pics of your creations, please email fran@little-windows.com when you get the chance. Once I sealed the backs, I didn't worry about the fronts because I figured they went across the world, and held up for a great many years after that, but I have also made ones that are completely laminated, I've also tried Mod Podge, but it's water based and soaked into parts of my stamps, so that wasn't a success. Let me know if you have any other tips to share, and thanks for your comments :) - Fran
Hello Andre! Great question, but because I've sealed this thin delicate paper with acrylic paint on the back, and the resin sort of kisses as you dome the front and the back, these pieces are now waterproof. If you decide to drill through these pieces, I do recommend sealing the inside of the drilled hole with either a bit of resin, or a tiny bit of unscented chapstick. I hope that helps :) fran@little-windows.com
Hello Anna! I don't have a kit per se, but if you follow this link you'll see the a complete list of supplies and some close up photos of the projects from this tutorial. www.little-windows.com/blogs/project-center/turn-postage-stamps-into-jewelry Thanks for asking :) fran@little-windows.com
Hello Moniii! Unfortunately we don't have a reliable, affordable option to ship to Brazil just now, but we will continue looking. Thanks for your feedback :) - Fran@little-windows.com
I wouldn't use UV resin on anything delicate or original, and it doesn't work very well on thin flat materials, it tends to curl up as it sets, and can delaminate fairly easily. I would stick with epoxy for a project like this. Thanks for asking :) - Fran
Absolutely, and you can always scan them and print out back-ups if they are. These ones had such sentimental value and Jennifer really wanted to have the actual stamps made into jewelry she could wear close to her heart. Thanks Leslie :) fran@little-windows.com
These are beautiful. A little bit of history and art preserved and made accessible.
Thank you Wendy, this was a fulfilling way to preserve some treasured keepsakes :)

Hi, excellent video. Can water not get in around the edges? Do the edges sealed?

Can you use UV resin to make these?

@@LittleWindowsResin which epoxy resin do you prefer that won't yellow?
@@LittleWindowsResin and thank you for replying!!!
thats cool, but I would make sure there not worth money first.......
