also you're so smart for letting the sand sit first for a while!! it looks sooo much better
They look great thanks for the tutorial
those BLUES!!!!! omg, so pretty:) thank you for teaching us. you are the first person i've found that actually demonstrates how to make the sand consistency so thank you!!
Absolutely Beautiful, Thank you for the step by step instructions. Because I am a beginner
I like how fun they turned out!
Me too! Thanks for checking out my videos!
First time watching you from BC Canada and you’re fantastic! Thank you for being such a great teacher, and yes, these coasters are ADORABLE!
Super cute
Thanks! And thanks for watching!!
Beautiful job
Thank you so much!!
I am going to try this!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Hi new friend to your channel from Kentucky. These are absolutely beautiful!! I love anything beachy or mermaidy 🧜🏼♀️🐚
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for posting a video.ive been having the hardest time trying to get the shells to be seen and not poking out.😁
Thank you so much for checking out my video! I am glad that I was able to help!
If you coat your starfish with Mid Podge first they will stay white. And I mix my little seashells in clear resin so the bubbles don’t come out in the resin
Great idea! Sounds super helpful! Thank you!
These are my favorite coasters. I haven't made any yet and I'm going to make these. You did such a nice job on them. They are so nice looking. I subscribed. :)
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked them! Good luck on your coasters! I hope they come out amazing!!!
You do very good 👍👍👍👍IT very beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome! You mentioned adding something else, I saw someone add a tiny shark, black , vinyl, cut with a Cricut, it looked like a shadow of a shark swimming.
If you put your sand on the same spot in every shape you can elevate your molds just a cm so it won't run out. You can use less sand and still keep the sand in place 😉✌
Great tip!! Thanks so much! And thanks for checking out my videos!!
You can get better lacing and cells if you add a few drops of 100% Silicone into your white mix so when you torch it it will create the cells and lacing!
Great idea! Maybe I’ll give that try sometime. Thanks.
I'm from Atlantic city...alot of beach here...Question: why does everyone pop bubbles it's water there's lots of bubbles and foam in the Ocean..just curious?
That's awesome! Thanks for share all your ideas. How do you cut the edges? That is the only part that I can't do.
There’s many options. You can fill in the indention with resin so there is no more edge. Or you can sand the edges down and then very lightly fill in the scratches with resin to clear it back up. Or you can use something like a cuticle cutter to trim the sharp edge pieces off.
Thank you so much for this video, very helpful! Beautiful coasters. Can you tell me how you "clip" the rough edge?
I usually use nail clippers or a cuticle cutter lol
My first time watching you. I am a complete novice but I am intrigued by what I am seeing. Thank you for showing us where to begin. I didn't catch what kind of sand you used. Would Knetic sand work?
They turned out really great. Have you ever used embossing powder in your resin? Tiny bit goes a lot way and gives your resin with mica powder a stone ceramic look. I have some yellow and tan I am going to try in place of sand. Is that craft fair you were talking about in Rockwall, TX?
No not in Rockwall. I have never had the chance to use embossing powder but now you have me curious and I’m gonna have to look into it!
Whenever I pour my second layer of resin my resin tends to get foggy looking at the bottom how can protect that from happening again please give me some tip it would helpful.
Using a torch while using alcohol inks is very dangerous flammable. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to get rid if your bubbles at the same time you get that wavy effect as well
These look really great! What size mold did you use and how deep are they?
Hey Virginia! Thanks for watching my content! I actually used the Oggibox 3-Cavity Silicone Disc Mold's from Amazon. You can find them at amzn.to/2IhbkV8
Do you ever add a little glitter to the sand to make it look like the sun is reflecting on it
I find mixing sand in resin makes it look like mud I put thin layer of resin then sand that will look lighter then shells a thin layer of resin then everything else sometimes you get shakey effect or use clear film to purposely get shakey effect...but loved your video..keep crafting !!!
I think it might be different with different kinds of sand. The sand I use is crafting sand. I really don’t think it’s the same. But I could be wrong. I left some bubbles in mine but there are some things that I hate having bubbles in!
I truly enjoyed your video and the step by step instructions. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this technique. What type of sand do you recommend?
The sand that I used I got at Michaels craft store. They have it in different colors. I just picked the shade I wanted for my coasters!
@@HappyCraftingLady thank you for responding my friend!!!!! I watched several of your videos and learned a lot so thank you!!!!
Awe! You are so welcome! That’s why I do what I do!
I also subscribed to your channel
How do you clip the edges?
Very pretty where did you get the sand ?
I bought the sand at michaels! I’m sure you can find it online if you don’t have one near you!
They came out great! Do you use heat proof molds? Love the torch for getting t out bubbles but ruined a mold from heating it I guess to much lol
I did not! I just recently found out that you can pop bubbles with a sprits of rubbing alcohol and not chance ruining your molds with the torch!
These molds can take more heat than the white colored molds. I have ruined molds too. And I just tried the alcohol sprits recently and it worked great.
How do you get your sharp edges off? Sand?
I've seen a few videos. I'm trying to learn how to do this. Your the first person I have seen use powder. Is there a difference between powder and liquid drops? And do you have a link to the things you used so we can get right to it? I loved that you used real sand and the seashells. Thank you for doing everything step by step.
The powders tend to leave a shimmer in the resin which you don’t get from all ink drops. I believe the links for everything I used should be in the description of this video! Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful....Could I use plastic cap as casting or will it stick to it?
The only things I know for sure it won’t stick to are silicone molds! Resin adheres to basically everything else! Even the silicone at times if you mess up!
Where can we purchase the tiny seashells?
can you make waves with the white mica powders too or does the alcohol ink work better for waves?
Either would work. I like the look of the alcohol ink but you could use the mica powder. It would give it more of a shimmer!
i have to seal every little component to not get air bubbles....what resin do you use?
I have been using KSResin for the past year or so. It’s been my absolute favorite! There should be a link for it in the description!
Turned out great, but u didn't show how u made the waves... :-(
How long did you let your resin sit before you added your color and the white? It looks thick??
This video was recorded a year ago. I can not remember exactly how long. But I generally have a working time of less than 45 minutes before the resin gets too thick.
How do you price your coasters?
LOve them! How do you trim the sides?
Usually with an exacto knife but I did recently buy a small dremmel tool that I use for sanding edges then I use a very tiny amount of resin and apply it with a paintbrush to fill in the scratches.
@@HappyCraftingLady Thanks :)
Do you dome or top coat them
For these because I did it in layers there wasn’t as much of a rim but I also use a small cutter on the edges.
Can you use hair blower?
To pop bubbles? I believe it would work! It’s actually best to use a sprits of rubbing alcohol but I didn’t know that when I did this video!
How much resin did you mix.
Most of the time I eyeball how much to use based on the project I am working on. I do not think I wrote down how much resin I used in these specific coasters.
How much sand do you recommend to use?
I would say the amount I used for these coasters was probably about half a cup. If you were going to do more or less coasters or perhaps use more or less sand in the coasters you would need to adjust based on that.
@@HappyCraftingLady Okkays. Thank youu!😊
hello, love your tutorial, however , I ruined my mold, i think its because i used the torch on it not a good idea
Oh no! That sucks! I have ruined a few in the past. Someone recently told me you can use sprays of rubbing alcohol to pop bubbles.
It's nice, but the sand is a little bit too dark. It's better if you add a little bit of white in it.
I agree that the resin did make the sand a darker color! I am not sure how this could have been combatted though. Maybe if I had used a lighter sand but I didn’t know it was gonna darken this much when I got the sand! Maybe next time I will get lighter sand and see what happens!
Where did you get the shells from
I ordered them on Amazon! There ‘should’ be a link in the description if not I just searched small seashells and scrolled until I found ones I liked!
You think they are adorable 😂? Ridiculous. There are no wavy effect at all. I think you have never seen the waves
Then you do better and post a video tutorial, rather than leaving nasty and unnecessary comments on someone else's
