just wanted to thank you for this video, you're the ONLY one I could find that is not using resin to make a nice clear coat/seal and that stuff did NOT work for me and my daughter, too toxic. So thank you for this alternative I never knew about!
Totally Unrelated but help is appreciated :3 :- So basically I watched some videos about shrink plastic and found out that the UV resin doming peels off easily if a layer of mod podge isn't added. Please let me know if you've had any problem like that. (Using colour pencils on a rough sided shrink plastic)
Actually did this and when I take the pieces out of the oven, first, it will get a sharp outline, like it was a saw, and second the colors will burn a little, also, I tried to make the colors more bright but it won't look as it should
Hi, amazing video! Question, in here you just cut the images out with scissors, but in the video you also mentioned sometimes using your brothers cricut. On what base material do you set it, so it cuts all the way through? I have to cut it twice as it didn't go deep enough through the shrinking paper.
Everything worked perfectly until I baked them with embossing powder, they started curling again and didn't flatten back out. There was no way to flatten them back out without smudging the powder! Anyone have recommendations?
This was an awesome video. Maybe I can save someone some trouble though- the embossing powder caused my images to bleed. I used Sharpie on ShrinkyDinks brand plastic. I used the exact embossing pad and powder she used in the video. If anyone has any tips let me know!
From watching this and handling resin myself I'd say yes the powder is better! Resin is much more toxic, requires further safety such as gloves & respirator and you'd need to put down the resin carefully and cure each one in smaller quantities depending on how big the UV lamp is (I have one that would fit maybe half the amount of earrings she made) if you're using shrink plastic you'll already be using an oven to make em shrink so may as well use the exact same method to protect them too!
I printed the designs onto the paper. They sell a few different brands of shrink paper like this. Make sure you only use it with an ink it jet printer!
Can you please do a video on how to know what size your image is before you print? This is the part that stumps me! I can't seem to find an actual size ruler in any of the programs I've tried!
Thank you for this my daughter just got her ears pierced and while it will be a few months before we can switch her earring this will be a great project for the summer.
The embossing powder technique looks awesome and way faster than adding resin to each one at a time! Does it adhere pretty well? Or will the embossed layer pop off if the earring hits anything? Or if you squeeze it?
I bought all this same stuff, but after a few days my design started to bleed. What did I do wrong? 🥲 I thought the embossing powder method was supposed to not cause bleeding
Omg I love your video!! This is exactly how I want to do my RU-vid video! How do you do it, what program do you use! I was told to make slinky dink art crafts and your video gave great information! Thank you! Btw love your back ground music!!
