I know this is old and will likely get lost but I'm leaving it as this is, without a DOUBT, THE MOST HELPFUL, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, AND EASIEST TUTORIAL I've EVER used on ANY platform for ANY reason! If only ALL were so PERFECT! I'm a bored painter who began using cabachons (bought online) as a way to repurpose & not waste paint skins. With bezels & cabs it was so easy & I was HOOKED! And no longer bored! Then I was very recently introduced to UV Resin where i could make my OWN cabachons and so much more. Well, I didnt have enough info nor the proper vids and tutorials & tonight I nearly QUIT! I was literally in tears because I was so excited for this and in the last few days all my supplies had arrived. I finally gave it a go over the last few and I was actually quite surprised that I was just creating one hot mess after another! At midnight I went to bed completely let down and sad. Everything is all packed up because tomorrow it would be going into the basement corner and the painting would resume. My hopes for participating in all the Spring craft fairs here in small town Southern USA were DASHED....THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO!
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I am ENTIRELY hopeful again that I can do this and it's literally ALL because of YOU!
Please do whatever you have to do in order to bring this video to the forefront and "current" again bc I KNOW I'm not the only one who's new to this, nor am I the only one for whom this video could breathe life into as a new UV Resin artist!
For me..this video is MY GAME CHANGER and I
THANK YOU SOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!
Blessings 💜 from South Carolina (the deep South) USA~yvette❣️
I've also just recently found this tutorial. I feel like you do, that all is not lost! I can confidently up my craft game.
Hi Mamacado, I wanted to let you know that this message is the reason I have started making videos again. You are so kind and your encouragement got me back in my studio. So I hope you like my new video (its on UV Resin too). Hope you have a good day, Paula xxx
Kept popping up and I thought it would be out of date, changes happen so quick but it was very helpful prob the best I've seen. Thank you, I feel prepared for my new venture 💖
Looks like I got really lucky, as this was the first video I found on the subject and I watched it before I even tried using my kit! Thank you so much for saving me a lot of headache and wasted supplies! :D
@@PaulaStorm 😵💫
I failed really hard with 'regular' resin and thought I would never be able to make resin stuff again, until I found UV resin.
But I still had so many doubts, and this video was everything I needed, thank you so much.
I'm doing pretty decent on normal resin but having issues on UV resin though I do not have a bright/ strong UV light.
This is the most helpful uv resin tips video I've seen yet. Thank you so much for this!
So nice of you to say! Thank you xxx
Definitely!!!!
I agree!!!
I agree! Thank you so much!!
I wholeheartedly agree as well! Bravo! I also want to add that it really Thrills me to see your enthusiasm and enjoyment it really adds to the experience and is very motivating. I have always wanted to be an artist of some sort and resin has gave me the gift of that like I never thought I'd have!😍🙏
I keep having to say this because it seems like no one actually knows. You should use a respirator even for UV resin.
you're very right! I was about to say this. Same as gloves and safe disposal of the old resin bottles! It's still toxic
I'm actually quitting resin because of all the danger associated with it. The scarier part is that videos like this don't even show you proper safety, not even gloves. Not good.
THANK YOU! I'd like to try UV resin for my creations as it looks easier than epoxy, but I was just wondering that (im also concerned about how often people put their fingers down the light every time they cure it :c)
@@elizabethhar3769 yeah you'll also need protection from the uv light. Most youtubers dont show how to do it safely.
How can you protect yourself from the UV light?
When you said don’t throw away the scraps, I’m like “damnnnn she got hella tips” 😂😂😂😂😂 I appreciate you and this video! I’m learning so much, doing overnight research.
Lol that could be my fav comment xx
OK so as someone who has used UV Resin for at least 2 years now, I STILL learnt something from you! I watched the whole thing and loved the idea of using the scraps at the end. You have such a kind hearted nature when you speak, very relatable and relaxing! Thank you so much.. I've just subscribed!
Maybe you could help me at my local craft store there's light cure uv resin and hard cure uv resin whats the difference
@@tylerkister4628 it will say on the bottle....
@@tylerkister4628 I mean ask the craft store lol you didn't even say the brand
All very good info and tips/tricks. For some added fun... I use temp tattoos and nail foils on my UV resin pieces. Temp tattoos can actually be used DIRECTLY on the mold (use as usual...cut it out, remove protective sheet, put it face down in the mold, wet the paper backing and pull up the paper...**let it dry**) and then pour your resin on top of it. OR you can apply the tattoo directly on to an already cured piece. Either way I suggest doming over the tattoo to make sure it doesn't rub off eventually. Nail foils can also be used, in the same way you would put them on your nails. Take your cured resin piece, apply nail foil GLUE to the piece, cure the glue following package directions, apply the foil and again I would suggest doming it to lock in the foil art. You can ALSO use mica powder directly on the MOLD itself... I bought a bunch of tattoo/henna stencils on Amazon and I put the stencil down on the mold, color it in with mica powder, pull up the stencil and then pour the resin into the mold. The mica powder will stay right where you put it and "release" from the mold with the resin. Again, I like to dome everything, LOL!
For me, the best lesson I learned with UV resin is to do large pieces (thick) in thin LAYERS. Since it only takes at most a couple minutes to cure, you can really afford to slow down and do thin layers for the best curing. Like you did with the black pigment, although with most other pigments you can go a little thicker before curing.
The BEST tips that I got from your video is to not cure too fast on larger pieces... I didn't realize that was why I was having issues with "curling". I absolutely LOVE the idea of keeping my scraps... I hadn't even thought of doing that! I am absolutely loving UV resin because if I have to wait an entire day for resin to cure (reg. 2-part epoxy resin), sometimes I lose that "creative idea" I had for the piece when I started it.
All fantastic ideas! Thanks for sharing xxx
My sentiments EXACTLY! I had wondered why my bookmarks were kind of Bowing and now I know! My boyfriend also does resin he makes Galaxy spheres which are just beautiful. He had mentioned to me to keep the scraps and really loved that you were seconding that LOL😅😏
@Angela Campbell I'm curious about his galaxy spheres. I get the idea but like so often I wish we could add just a pic to YT comments. Obviously it would be the channel holders decision to post or not. Just a thought. 🤷♀️
Best beginner UVresin tutorial I have found!
So nice of you, thank you!
I'm just getting started with UV resin and so far, this is the simplest tutorial I've found! I had no idea there was resin out there that you didn't need to mix! Go figure! That'll save me time!
Thank you for this video. As a non english speaker I really love the way you talk I can understand everything ^^
Same!
THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME..THE INSTRUCTION YOU GAVE TO TO THE POINT AND VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU
Wow! Thank you very much for those tips, you are really talented and creative. My favorite one is the flower pendant.
This was probably one of the most comprehensive, informative uv resin videos I’ve ever watched! Thank you!
I don't normally comment and like youtube videos. But I just had to do it to yours because I want to thank you for giving all these tips, you deserve it!! Thank you!
Thank you for the tips I just got started after learning how to do nails and create things with polymer clay 😊
Very helpful video! Would have save me some pieces if I had watched first! I love the flowers!
You are wonderful. I just started with this craft. I'm not really a crafty person but tired of spending so much on accessories. I'll make my own. I run into trouble because I'm like a child with the attention a golden retriever lol I'm also sorta daft and hard to teach. This was brilliant. You answered my questions, and I learned a great deal. Thank you. You were born to teach. I'm excited for this new craft.
I recently bought the Crafty Adventures UV resin to make eyes for puppets, or rather, the irises of the eyes. The resin creates a lens effect on the eye, which is just a plastic ball from an old faux necklace. I file down a flat round area on the ball, paint on the iris, or add a photoshopped print-out of an iris, and then simply add the resin over that. It cures in less than a minute and looks great.
Thank you! I have watched a 100 videos trying to find these answers to my questions. You just solved half my problems. Again thanks
I’m so pleased! What are the other problems you need answers for? x
@@PaulaStorm the filing, smoothing and polishing. I always seem to scratch them.
I'm a dude but i think I'm gonna take on this hobby. All the possibilities of what you can put in there is pretty cool. I'm gonna start doing real spiders in necklaces. Bought a uv resin kit off Amazon and it'll be here tomorrow
Thanks for the info. I now feel confident enough to start playing around with resin.
I have seen so many (uv) resin tutorials, but none of them had such useful tips as you have. Thanks a lot for sharing Paula!
I’m new to the world of UV resin, I really enjoyed your tutorial. Thanks so much 😀
The kitty cat earrings and pendant is my favorite
I love using scraps!! And I do some crazy, but very fun and some beautiful and unique pieces. Thank You for showing how you save and use them. My moto is “no resin pieces left behind”. I also do Memorial Art. And must use everything. As I can’t “discard” someone’s Mom or beloved Pet! I love your channel and watch everything You do! Thank You for so much wonderful information! 🙏🏻❤️
This was the most informative, easy to understand, and helpful UV resin video I have ever seen! I was intimidated and a little confused to try it but now I am much more confidant and can’t wait to put this information to use! Thank you so much!
Great job explaining the process to a novice like me! I've been interested in this crafting idea but have been afraid to try it. After watching your video I think I'm ready to give it a go! Thanks
Fab tips, thank you, and you don’t need all the safety equipment for it either, win win XX 💖🥰🌈
Awesome content! Thank you for sharing your experience and skills with us :)
After finding your video I feel more confident to begin my next craft adventure. You are awesome. Best tutorial ever.
I just watched this and learned so very much in what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU.
The tree pendant is awesome
I’m hoping to start adding custom resin pieces to my micromacrame projects so this is exactly what I needed to know!! Thank you so much for taking your time to explain everything so well and those camera angles are so helpful. Excellent video!!
This video is incredible! I just started with Uv resin and this is the most helpful video I seen ❤️
Paula I love your last name. From one Storm to another crafting up a Storm.
Love the kitty and love pendants. The tye die was amazing. And to think I was throwing it out, not anymore...❤
I have some UV Resin and molds arriving today and so happy I came across this video! Will be putting your tips into practice and I love Love LOVE the scraps idea 🥰
I was really interested in UV resin so I bought some. I have been looking for a video like this ever since. Thanks so much!!
Phew! So glad I watched this before using the opaque pink moulds I bought to use with UV resin. I’ll stick with epoxy resin for those moulds. Thank you for these great tips. I love your designs!
First time watching your video as well as a brand new resin user. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this! I’m completely new to UV and have just started using the two part epoxy resin. This has been the most helpful and informative piece of information. I hadn’t thought of UV, but am loving the minimal cure time!
I’m a newbie... and looking forward to new adventures working with UV resin.I loVed the galaxy pendant you made.Thank you for inspiring and can’t wait to see more...
I love the piece with three flowers
I'm like you, I love making different things, I love you coz u make me feel I'm not alone being like I'm. Love for every thing we can make
Thank you, Paula, this 28-minute tutorial has helped me a lot. I have worked with epoxy resins for 6 years, but know I'm ready to try something new. All the tips were great!
This has been the most informative video I’ve seen, and I’ve just bought the beginner set from your store ☺️ can’t wait to get creating!!
One of the best video i have ever seen of UV Resin...❤
Brilliant informative video but your clear voice and brilliant choice of music makes the whole experience PERFECT
Thank you so much for your excellent resin guide! I can't wait to get started on such a fun craft and your tips and tricks are going to make crafting so much better ☺️
I just started UV Resin and have had a few fails. After watching several videos and tips, yours is by far the best! Very clearly spoken, great information, great instructions, and love the extra tidbits you add. Definite new subscriber and can't wait to watch more of your videos! Thank you for your help.
This was the best video for all the help needed to get started
Thanks for these tips. My favorite one was the last one you made. Just my 1 cent
Great tips Paula!! I love that you save your resin scraps for other projects!! I never thought about making your own buttons but makes sense if you want something special. Plus buttons can be expensive!!
Don't the scrap projects look awesome! I LOVE using up all my scraps and making really cool stuff with them, much like your cardboard house ;) xxx
I'm new with uv resin and those tips will help me a lot. Thanks.
You’re most welcome x
I mostly do the mini make it kits, but bc of this video im going to get more into UV resin crafts as a way to destress and help with my depression and anxiety. ABSOLUTELY love this video.
Thank you that helped a lot!!
This is very helpful! I just started AB resin and it was so difficult and messy and hard to perfect. I'm thinking of trying UV Resin so that it's easier to make more designs and I can work slowly. Your video is clear, easy to follow, and organized. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this. The final tip about pieces curving has really had me near the point of giving up on UV resin. I'm trying to make a cell phone stand and was on the right track about it curing too fast, creating the curve, but didn't know how to remedy the problem. This tutorial is a lifesaver! Will try your tip and maybe have a phone stand by bedtime 🙂
Omg you are so cute!! I love all the cute things you make. I wish I could come hang out with you and craft all day. That way you could teach me more, too!! I love everything about you 😇 thank you for making these videos,! ❤
Easily and Simply explained along with tutorial!❤ very useful ❤️🤍
I m from india..this video cleared many of my doubts. Thank you!
Flame thrower. New subbie
I love this video and the music. Thank you.
Love the tip of curing the underneath!
Never commented on anything before but I love this! It has made me determined to do some resin making!!
Thank you for posting this... I know it's old but I just came across it and I love it. I've been thinking about getting into resin and this was extremely informative and very helpful. You actually answered questions I've had and questions I didn't know I should ask. I've done some Jewelry making and other crafts and have so many things like nail art and other stuff that I used for it that I can use for resin. I've held on to so many ideas for resin crafts and now I think I'm ready to make them happen
Thank you for solving my bending rectangle problem!
Just started making UV pens 2 weeks ago. I’ve literally watched videos for hours for 3 weeks and yours is 100% the best!
Dear Paula, THANK YOU for such a great video. I never thought about curing UV resin from the back, but, of course, it makes perfect sense. When I started using UV resin, after years of usqing only the 2 - part resin, I bought very cheap UV resin and I really didn't like it . Then a crafty friend recommended a wonderful UV resin from an American store called: "Just Resin". I'm hooked on it now, it's not expensive and it cures quickly and beautifully. Please try it, love from Amanda in Australia xoxo :-)
SUPER helpful! I'm a mixed media jewelry artist, so I would love to see more of your jewelry making techniques!
Thank you so much for the tips! You've surely prevented me from making some simple mistakes!
Enjoyed your video I like the clown with the gold and also the rectangle
Hey Paula, would you be able to do one of these (tutorial) on different fusible fleece or interfacing. There is so many, and I really don’t know the difference. Thank you 😀
Great idea Marcia, I’ll add it to my list 😃
This is a very good tutorial. I too do a lot of crafty things, sewing, embroidery, quilting, cricut and many more. You have now encouraged me to give this a try. I ordered the kit and I was so happy to know that I could get it in Australia. Thanks heaps.
Thank you for the tip of turning the mould over and curing underneath as I’ve been having trouble with none curing items
Amazing Tutorial!!! The Besst of all!!! Very Clear Instructions!!! You not only know the art, but also Know How Exactly to Explain to others!!! Thanks for sharing:).
Very informative! Especially about using mod podge to seal fabric or paper products. Also good to know how to get darker colors to cure.
Been wanting to get into UV resin lately
Thank you so much! I'm new to UV resin and this was a huge help! I make keycaps and it always seemed like every 2nd or 3rd cap would not come out right. Since I make my own molds, I use clear silicone--and curing from both sides really helps. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇦🇺
So glad I could help! Have a great Christmas x
Please share on how to make your own molds thanks
I like all but my favorite is the gold with triple flowers
Liked the star pieces
This was really helpful! Thankyou so much! But the fact that you did not have any protection made me worried, in other video's for beginners they said that you need a respirator, gloves, glasses and a good ventilated room. So I was wondering why you did not warn us new people for those dangers? I am not being mean, I just am curious and I absolutely loved your video!
I very rarely get resin on my skin as I use moulds and tools, so I don’t feel the need to wear gloves all the time, but if I know it’s going to be a messy project I do wear gloves. I also work in a very well ventilated area (behind my camera are 2 glass doors that are the length and height of the wall) so I only wear a mask when using 2 part resin or when making big projects that give off fumes. Of course it is totally up to the individual to make those safety choices for themselves. I highly recommend people who are new to (Uv and 2 part) resins use gloves and masks.
I had no idea that this video would blow up like it has, so I am putting together a new list of tips to make another video. PPE will be included in the next video x
Yay!!! Loved these tips! They all make perfect sense. I laughed when you started out by saying your kids bust you about being into so many different crafts. Ditto!! But, true enough, each one builds a foundation into the next. I don't think I can ever stop learning new things. Thank you for sharing your journey so that those who follow won't give up. 😉
A new crafting obsession a week. Oh, my gosh, my soulmate LOL. We could be best friends.
WOW. Thank you so much. The video, was not only thoroughly interesting, and informative, but straight to the point. I hate it when people waffle on, about nothing.
You are an excellent presenter.
It is also great to see an Aussie, on TH-cam.
By the way, my kids moan about my hobbies, as well. 😅😅
WHYyyyyyy couldn’t I find this glorious tutorial first instead of wasting many hours watching less than par stuff first?! BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!! With my FAVORITE accent to boot! My fingers can’t subscribe fast enough! THANK YOU!
What a lovely comment to wake up to. Thanks so much xxx
@@PaulaStorm ☺️😊
I loved your video!! I bought the epoxy resin, and UV seems so much easier. I used UV before when I first started but it's been a long time. Thanks for the refresher!!!

You sound like me, I am a fabric artist, etc, so much more. LOL I am doing a little resin to use as embellishments. My passion is fabric. Very helpful, thanks.
I really enjoyed your video on uv resin it helped with some of my projects. Thank you!
