Finally a video that is great tutorial with host that keeps my attention. She gives clear, simple instructions and shows process from beginners to end. I appreciate that she doesn’t repeat easily understandable information ad nauseam. This host assumes she is teaching relatively intelligent people who can usually catch on pretty quickly. Thank you for having a video that actually does what the title “does what it says it’s going to show!” To many tutorial video posers!
Jenny - this is amazing. You are doing such cool things with your snap on jewelry, I've never heard of this before. Thanks for the plugs and compliments.
Thank you for your videos and taking time to comment Patricia!! I had not heard of them either and was SHOCKED when I found only one acrylic pour snap button on etsy (but pages and pages of pendants)! There are enough of out here, and tons of people going to craft shows, etc. for the first time. These will stand out as something different and they are seriously easy to sell! After I started selling the buttons and jewelry, I made as many sales in one month as I made in the previous eight months. :-) Happy pouring!
I was immediately suspicious, but I was right !! I know who you are. Hahaha. I won't give away your identity to the world, but I will say you are a genius and friend.
When I make my jewelry, I wipe the glue that comes out when you attach it in the skin while it is still wet. I use a Q-tip or tiny brushes that I think are for putting glue onto fake eyelashes. I get them on Amazon. Also, if you have glue on the cabochon when you put it in the base, you can use alcohol and wipe it off with a paper towel. HTH.
Thanks :-) They are pretty, and they are a smart choice because people who like them also want to buy 5 snap buttons to go with them (as opposed to one or two with a pendant).
Pretty jewelry but I must say your paintings are amazing. Some of the best I’ve seen. I couldn’t watch the whole video because it hurt my heart to see the canvases cut into little pieces. Do you sell your art? The complete canvas version?
Thanks Susan. It is a pragmatic choice that I know some people will protest :-) The thing is, I am not a professional artist and have had to find a way to pay for my habit (and repurpose some of these canvases that are piling up and getting damaged). I have been at this for a year, and if they don't sell after 6months or so, they are candidates for the chopping block! I do sell some of my paintings in my etsy store here: www.etsy.com/shop/jennyncolor
Jenny Post I totally get it. Am buried under mountains of canvas that are nowhere near a pretty as yours. You are a “professional artist” in my eyes. Thanks for sharing your art and ideas.
:-) Thank you Joseph! I'm glad acrylicpouring.com is sharing it! For those people going to craft shows, etc. these inexpensive buttons/jewelry will get people in the mood to buy more expensive things like paintings!! Lots of pendents, etc. these days, and this jewelry will stand out from the crowd!
Oh, Just re-read your question. lol. Contributors agree to not post the videos on their own channels. I will probably do a follow-up on my own channel that shows making the actual bracelets or pendants with component parts.
I wish i had saw this before i ordered today, i think i ordered wrong size. Didn't know glass was smaller than the base but makes perfect sense now. Ty! Do you use dishwashing soap instead of silicone if so do you find it makes cells? I am having a hard time mixing my paint, it always looses some of my colors . I think i layer wrong.
Good idea! As much as anything, I do it to "move inventory" for lack of better words. I keep making more, and some level of non-attachment to previous ones that have not sold is allowing me to finally pay for the hobby :-) It does suck that I can't put holes in the wall though, and command strips are a great idea!!
Thanks Jackie! Yes. The big one I demonstrated on had been up on my etsy since I poured it, and the little one was damaged. But hey, I cut up the big one but it lives on! I made a video of its creation last August, and I can relive it anytime I want. th-cam.com/video/kmCd1Pffq6A/w-d-xo.html Think of it as an exercise in non-attachment.
Hi Sandie - I usually pop them out with just my fingers. Pretty easy. BUT, there are tools - basically little guitar picks - that can help you get them out. I will often send those out as gifts with customer orders. Thank you!
Command make strips where you can hang up your artwork without putting nails in your wall. They were great. I have a lot of canvases hung with those strips. Command non-damaging art hanging strips.
I don't know what zibam doing wrong. I use diamond glaze and all my pendants end up with bubbles and a weird shene under the glass. Any suggestion would be appreciated !
There is an acrylic pouring jewelry group on facebook that would be a good resource on that. I think that (maybe) gluing directly to a canvas might produce less air bubbles than gluing to a skin. I really have not had problems with them, so my best suggestion has to be that FB group. Good luck!
- Snap buttons, snap bases and glass cabochons that fit in them (amzn.to/2JXuIcN) - Be sure to select the correct-size snap bases for the glass cabochons you chose: 18mm glass fits into 20mm bases; 16mm glass fit into 18mm bases, etc.
Here is a link to supplies for 18mm buttons. I also sell 20 mm and snap jewelry for the buttons: www.etsy.com/listing/606304489/18-mm-snap-button-materials-diy-sets?SellerListingTools&Share&Raw&share_time=1529769625000&.slt
I am going to try this!!! What I want to do is cover an entire painting in small square glass tiles. Then, cut the tiles out and set them into a wall recess (back splash or a nook) in the same order, so it keeps the flow of the entire painting. I will have to save some $$ because that project will be expensive!! Thank you!!
I am going to do a video on my pouring process for acrylicpouring.com. But, I also did one for my own channel. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/f3hzYDzN0YY/w-d-xo.html

Finally found it! Great tutorial and I got to put a face to the name.
Enjoy the video, just learning about snap jewelry thank you for the tips and info! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great video. I've never heard of snap jewelry either. Thank you
Thanks! It is a lovely little "secret". LOL. It really does help me sell my art and I am glad the video might help others do the same!
Cant wait to try this! Thank you so much for sending me the supplies!
Really interesting video.
Thank you so much for this information! I loved your tutorial!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this!
:-) Thanks Debbie
Thank you for such an easy to understand video. If I start now, I can recycle some paintings into snap jewelry in time for 4th of July art festival.
Yes! I hope you were able to! Sorry for the delay! I don't get notified when there are comments since it is not my channel.
Wonderful work! I love this video. It's very informative. Just what I was hoping to find.
I was immediately suspicious, but I was right !! I know who you are. Hahaha. I won't give away your identity to the world, but I will say you are a genius and friend.
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing Jenny
Thank you Sherri! You are awesome
This is AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing. Love it.
Thank you! Really happy to share it :-)
How can you personalize them? Pet photo, special moments, dried flowers. Etc.
When I make my jewelry, I wipe the glue that comes out when you attach it in the skin while it is still wet. I use a Q-tip or tiny brushes that I think are for putting glue onto fake eyelashes. I get them on Amazon. Also, if you have glue on the cabochon when you put it in the base, you can use alcohol and wipe it off with a paper towel. HTH.
Great advice! I do get a lot of excess glue and this will help!
Hi Jenny just finished watching your video very informative thank you so much. You are a very beautiful
Oh my gosh! Thank you Janet!! (Sorry for the delay. I don't get notifications when someone posts on these).
This is SUPER COOL!! ❤️💛💚💙💜
Beautiful love the bracelet’s.
Thanks :-) They are pretty, and they are a smart choice because people who like them also want to buy 5 snap buttons to go with them (as opposed to one or two with a pendant).
Great job 😍 Jenny 😎
Thank you Diana!
Awesome video Jenny!
Thanks Christina!!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. What type of glue are you using at first
Funny outtake.

Susan Leverentz ME TOO
THEY ARE GORGEOUS AND I AGREE SOME OF THE BEST
THE CANVAS SHE WAS CUTTING WAS GORGEOUS
Thank you Jackie
Great video Jen
Was wondering why it was not in your channel too
:-) Thank you Joseph! I'm glad acrylicpouring.com is sharing it! For those people going to craft shows, etc. these inexpensive buttons/jewelry will get people in the mood to buy more expensive things like paintings!! Lots of pendents, etc. these days, and this jewelry will stand out from the crowd!

If you can't put holes in the wall you can use those command strips.
Good idea! As much as anything, I do it to "move inventory" for lack of better words. I keep making more, and some level of non-attachment to previous ones that have not sold is allowing me to finally pay for the hobby :-) It does suck that I can't put holes in the wall though, and command strips are a great idea!!
Jenny Post but those canvases are beautiful!! Have you tried selling them whole??
Thanks Jackie! Yes. The big one I demonstrated on had been up on my etsy since I poured it, and the little one was damaged. But hey, I cut up the big one but it lives on! I made a video of its creation last August, and I can relive it anytime I want. th-cam.com/video/kmCd1Pffq6A/w-d-xo.html Think of it as an exercise in non-attachment.
Nice work!! Have you ever tried using actual buttons to turn into snap buttons? I'd like to learn how to do that.
I have not tried that, but it would be very cool. I figure you could glue actual buttons to a snap base, if that is what you mean.
Beautiful! Do these come with a button type push tool to remove the buttons to change them out...if not how do you change them? Thanks Sandie
Hi Sandie - I usually pop them out with just my fingers. Pretty easy. BUT, there are tools - basically little guitar picks - that can help you get them out. I will often send those out as gifts with customer orders. Thank you!
Where do you get the snap pieces?
Command make strips where you can hang up your artwork without putting nails in your wall. They were great. I have a lot of canvases hung with those strips. Command non-damaging art hanging strips.

Do these fit the Gingersnaps system?
Yes, they do. They fit all major snap jewelry brands.
Where’s Deby?
A safer way to get the excess glue off is to use a nail file.
It may be tough to keep a file from scratching the glass, though.
Or, use a decorative punch - the same size and shape as cabochon.
FlowZone1 Tiffany won’t scratch the the glass if you use a file for natural nails not acrylics. Basically fine sand paper. I do this all the time.

Nice! Thanks for the tip, then!! :-)
Yes, thank you for the tip! I do scare myself because I am prone to knife accidents!
Where do you purchase the snaps?
- Snap buttons, snap bases and glass cabochons that fit in them (amzn.to/2JXuIcN) - Be sure to select the correct-size snap bases for the glass cabochons you chose: 18mm glass fits into 20mm bases; 16mm glass fit into 18mm bases, etc.
or Acrylic Pouring ETSY page, she sells supplies also

Jenny Post thank you!
Ya know, those cabochons look great on your acrylic painting. I wonder what 1 of your paintings would look like covered with cabochons? Hmmmmmm.....
I am going to try this!!! What I want to do is cover an entire painting in small square glass tiles. Then, cut the tiles out and set them into a wall recess (back splash or a nook) in the same order, so it keeps the flow of the entire painting. I will have to save some $$ because that project will be expensive!! Thank you!!
maybe you can show us how to make a dirty pour so nice ..;)
I am going to do a video on my pouring process for acrylicpouring.com. But, I also did one for my own channel. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/f3hzYDzN0YY/w-d-xo.html
