A Resin Experiment That Went Wrong - This is Ugly shows that not all the experiments that I do work out well. I apologise for the amount of laughing I do in this video, but it always makes me laugh when things turn out really ugly or when an experiment goes wrong. Resin can be a great medium to work with, but when it goes wrong resin can be horrible. I like to share the good and the bad with you so we can all learn from it.

Steve, this wasn’t a failure - you have successfully learned (and taught us) a resin technique that doesn’t work! You, Sir, are a true trailblazer!

@VeeSwan 3 года назад

I completely agree!

@driqbal316 3 года назад

That's a shame. Glad you share your mistakes with us so we can avoid doing the same thing. Thanks.

@mignoncreatoroffunward3203 3 года назад

i had feathers in my cart yesterday...glad i put them back. LOL

@meetyounever6923 3 года назад

Oh my gosh! I can't stop laughing! Resin mistakes can be sooo funny! I would love to open up an art gallery of all the hideous resin creations! Or even just hold an event for it when covids over. I know I have a few I could throw in there. 😂

@Bemadabava 3 года назад

I appreciate that you even tried! Thank you for showing us.

@Denise11Schultz 3 года назад

If someone had never made anything ugly, they were playing it too safe. Kudos to the ugly bowl and to your next experiment 👍

@lynnreynolds1846 3 года назад

Thanks for letting us see when things don’t work out! Those feathers were lovely. Such a shame 🤣

@createinspain 3 года назад

As a fellow RU-vid craft video maker, I know that people enjoy watching our mistakes :) Lol that bowl was truly hideous, so thanks for giving us a much needed laugh! We only learn new techniques through experimentation, sometimes it works, sometimes not but the time is never wasted.

@andie9691 3 года назад

I love how u said it is absolutely hideous. 😂😂😂 to funny. Thanks for the knowledge and for the laughs.

@nicolepsy 3 года назад

This reminds me of a vase wrapped with yarn I tried to make when I first started. Turns out, yarn is pretty absorbent! 😂 Wasted so much resin and ended up with a very ugly, expensive doorstop! LOL Oh and yes, I've done this one a few times with the same outcome you got! Now I make a flat circle and while it's still pliable, put it over the inverted bowl to form. Thanks for sharing this Steve!

@prempremglamourz1 3 года назад

“Every mistake is an art” (my say) because this is still a nice project apart from the sticky cling film. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@judyeuller7602 3 года назад

I love seeing failures. We all learn from them. Thanks!

@kasie680 3 года назад

I was yelling... on the outside Steve the outside! Lol

@barbieturner3251 3 года назад

Lol...our sense of humour is what keeps us sane in this world of resin...oh the things I could show you 🤪

@joannavoutsi8642 3 года назад

Ι think it looks fancy on the outside. You may still use it as a kid's helmet :)

@melb3513 3 года назад

Would make a good halloween candy bowl. Lol. Thank you for the laugh. It's really not that bad. It's unique.

@chrisharrison5974 3 года назад

I love watching your experiments, never afraid to try something outrageous......and this was really off the wall 🤩😉. I think it would have looked better if you hadn’t trimmed the feathers ! I wonder if spraying alcohol on the cling film would have helped to get it off. Please don’t ever stop doing these wacky experiments 🤩👍👏😍

@sd4055 3 года назад

This was hilarious. When you said at the end "this is hideous" I laughed so hard.

@chrystalina214 3 года назад

I've found cheap dollar store plastic table cloths don't stick to the resin, but they do leave wrinkles if it's not perfectly smooth.

@tracygilder1229 3 года назад

So glad you show us your experiments, we can learn with you what to do & what to avoid! Definitely strong plastic sheets are better than cling wrap! Thank you again for another great video

@cathykoch5393 3 года назад

Lovely experiment. Someone will love it, just give it a little love and a coat of resin over the outside. Thank you!

@susanhamilton3212 3 года назад

Such a promising start, big fluffy feathers, nice bubble-free resin, big shiny bowl snaffled from the kitchen ...hey, it might not have turned out exactly as you envisioned but it'll make lovely landfill :) If they refuse to take it at the Corporation Dump there's a half empty skip just 2 doors down from me, it could be arranged for a fiver, nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean, say no more!

@victoriaeads6126 3 года назад

Well, it's an experiment 😜💜 I'm sure you could play around with the idea and make something really neat, though!

@cindyfinn4845 3 года назад

Well Steve back to drawing board

@kj7238 3 года назад

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for putting this experiment gone wrong! It makes me feel so much better about my own haywire experiments!

@tammymarcum9403 3 года назад

Just getting supplies to try making things when I found your videos this is my second and it's was funny thank you. Now I know NOT to is plastic wrap

@laineykearns4506 3 года назад

I was so relieved when you said you hated it! It's horrible. Thanks for showing us what not to do!

@urbangrandma1092 3 года назад

I loved watching your video. You make it sooo much fun watch as we learn through your experiences. We really appreciate you and your zany experiments. They usually result in works of art. Thanks keep 'em coming can"t wait to see what you'll do next.

@buzzsmith4675 3 года назад

I have to agree with you! It looks awful lol. However I appreciate your experiments. I learn a lot. So thank you.

@leahgroess5361 3 года назад

When you started I thought "Why would this be ugly? It looks so cool" and then the end product, oof! I think the rounded ends of the feathers are a big part of the "look", so cutting that bit of interest off definitely didn't help. I'd love to see a bowl with just one layer of feathers and just a thicker layer of clear (maybe with a little shimmer or sparkle) above and below to make it smooth and structurally sound.

@flytrapjohn 3 года назад

We have learned from this. Thank you Mr Steve.

@hayleywright2966 3 года назад

Love that you show the good, the bad and the ugly 😁

@Annbakermodel 3 года назад

Been there. This is how we learn. 😊

@RKusmie64 Год назад

Hey, if you don't experiment, you don't know what works and what doesn't. Just because it didn't turn out beautiful (which, as we know, is in the eye of the beholder), doesn't mean it's a failure or is hideous. It just means now you can try something else ;-) LOVE watching your videos, Steve!

@christinebenson7779 3 года назад

well live and learn we all make mistakes and now I know not to do that lol

@meetyounever6923 3 года назад

You guys I have to share my most recent fail with y'all. So I had a great idea to put this really pretty white tulle with teal sparkles in a resin necklace I'm made. I was imagining it turning out vibrant super vibrant amd sparkly. Much to my dismay, when I demolded the thing the glitter came completely off. It was just floating around, and you could hard see the tulle. Like I had to do a squint to even notice it was there. So I thought to myself this isn't too bad. It looks pretty normal. I went to take a picture of it so I could eventually sell it, and I guys it looked hideous! The tulle made the heart necklace look like a bunch of scratches, and the tiny little pieces of glitter looked like little specks of black dirt all though it, not good at all! Maybe someone out there would appreciate the creativity that went into it looking at it from face value, but nobody in their right mind would want to buy this thing judging from the pictures. Epic fail!!! 😂🤦‍♀️

@katrogers3932 3 года назад

YOU ARE HILARIOUS! HOW COULD I NOT SUBSCRIBE?! As far as THE FEATHER BOWL... Interesting Thought~ But, yeah, that plastic wrap stuck all around the outside of the bowl would be enough to drive me bonkers!🤪😩😖😵. However, I could also Maybe See This Idea Being Super Cool using PINK AND 💜 PURRPLE FEATHERS, SOME GLITTER AND SEQUINS... But THAT'S JUST MEEEE! Thanks for the unique design idea, and ALL THE BEST IN 2021 TO YOU!

@catherinedavis1690 3 года назад

It was a great experiment!!! Great tutorial of why those things do not work out. It’s just as important to learn what not to use and why as what does. Thank you for helping us learn !

@jennyconfer2483 3 года назад

I had tried the cling wrap on the bottom of a plate to see what would happen and like you said the wrinkles and stuff makes it look absolutely horrible

@joallawestervelt6918 3 года назад

Well at least we all learned what not to do. Thanks for sharing

@JustCallMeMeghan 3 года назад

Your laugh is contagious.

@donnar9864 3 года назад

This is hilarious, poor ugly bowl...I can laugh at this because I have created some of the ugliest looking resin pieces EVER...live and learn..lol...thank you for showing us this lol

@BoopSnoot69 3 года назад

I stayed up so late watching your videos last night. I learned so much! Thank you. I always wonder what I can put inside resin! Have you ever tried putting different bugs in there? I tried a butterfly but the color turned really dark.

@tracytaplin2014 3 года назад

There's no such thing as a fail, its a learning curve 😜🤪 ... I do love yr comments n voice overs yr laugh is very infectious n u brightened my day... so as always thank u kind sir x

@jaxmaria 3 года назад

Lol.. live and learn.. it is awful.. thanks for sharing.. I’ve made projects that just didn’t turn out ! 🤣🤣🤣

@brandiekee5249 3 года назад

I think the idea is really neat. I don't think the feather colors do it justice though. And showing that the cling wrap doesn't is helpful to all using resin. Saves me the heartache of ruining a project. Thank you so much! I've said it before and will say again-i love your videos!

@redpandalove730 3 года назад

Not going to lie, i actually love it 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@AA-et1qo 3 года назад

Reading the title cling film ,i know it would be a nonono😆..but still thanks for showing us..

@bevannamagicalraggybear8727 3 года назад

Oh dear!! Just as you said it, I said it, Hideous!!! 😝lol!! When you said you were using clingfilm I sat watching with my eyes partly shut, I knew what was coming, as I've done the exact same thing myself. I ran out of my spray, and thought I'd give it ago!! Om!! Disaster, I quickly threw it in the bin, and waited for my mould release spray to arrive... Foil has the same effect, I couldn't shift the foil! Lovely bowl, I tried painting it, it got worse, so, yes, over the many years of crafting, jewellery making, and BJDs, resin and I have had many a run in in open battle! Great video! Thanks, and Happy New year! 👍😊

@thelmabirt7626 3 года назад

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's not THAT ugly. My hubby has used plastic wrap to cover the 2x3s we use as mold forms when he uses the Bondo fiberglass resin, minus the fiberglass. Maybe a different resin? We've never had a problem with the Bondo brand car resin. It heats up as well. You did say you wanted a thicker bottom as well. Therefore it was just half bad. Lol

@bobkeller8383 3 года назад

I have seen a feather bowl before. They are beautiful

@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669 3 года назад

Happy new year Steve!!

@emmaprentice7909 3 года назад

So glad it is not just me that does things wrong, I now know not to do this lol

@laurafasano4058 3 года назад

I wonder could you spray a light coating of mold release on the feathers as well. At least you didn’t get resin in the inside of the bowl!!

@sewlady33 3 года назад

This made me giggle! Thanks.

@dbabs1558 3 года назад

It is very ugly 😆 but now we know what not to do, thanks for showing us, most people (me) only show off our good creations 👍🏼

@meaghanb9118 3 года назад

Now I have to go back again and see where you have done a bowl before. I am always interested in the best ways to make that work. Ok, it didn't turn out great BUT we've learned that 5Minute Crafts are just lies, and how to apply resin to feathers so they stay nice! Well worth it!

@LiveSleepResin 3 года назад

Fantastic experiment, definitely worth a shot!

@AA-et1qo 3 года назад

Content suggestion steve, resin bulb? I am planning to do it soon once my molder arrives but still gathering more ideas.thank u steve

@ssue4q 3 года назад

It's not that bad Steve.. You asked for a suggestion I have one how about a clear resin Bowl with all different color feathers but not where they're all resin together they're just kind of free formed in the resin. One of my other artists I watch did this and the bowl was gorgeous! I'd like to see you do that. Your giggling was contagious lol

@LornaH2 3 года назад

All experiments teach us something, even if they don't turn out as planned. Colour choices could make a difference too, like all one colour so they don't combine to make a third, along with a plastic bowl.

@dollybrown1993 3 года назад

WWEELL LL....... IT'S DIFFERENT!! Like you I'm not a fan of it, however, I did learn a new way to work with feathers. Thanks for sharing with us.

@mariarose616 3 года назад

Brilliant thanks... 🤣😘

@sutela2060 3 года назад

Thank you for making it😁 not my favorite either😁🤣

@tazminmoore455 3 года назад

Well, at least you have learnt what not to do next time😀. Experimenting is good because fail or succeed you always learn something. I'm glad you said you don't like it, I sometimes make something I don't like too. 😅. The next experiment will be a success, I'm sure!

@ajxx2879 3 года назад

Lol u r so funny Steve..haha u make me laugh

@JohnSCrank 3 года назад

I would have made a silicon mold of the bowl and using that for the feathers and resin and used several layers of resin. Just an idea if you wanted to try this again. Have fun.

@gabrielleschmidt1435 Год назад

🎉I always say that you never know until you try. And you truly tried. 😊

@torivkm7292 3 года назад

I like the colours. 😊

@barbking2708 3 года назад

Oh my word, Steve🥴 Love your experiments, but yep....it’s ugly!

@dulceteixeira9097 3 года назад

You have taught us what not to do 😊 therefore it is not a failure 😘

@alyciawieler2800 3 года назад

I am the odd one out, but I think it's cool I love the texture the saran wrap left.

@kimberlyrogers8271 3 года назад

It looks ok except for the back of the bowl.

@Glotglot 3 года назад

I recently made a resin mistake I would like to share here. I poured 3 ounces of resin and then 3 ounces of hardener and started stirring... but nothing was happening, no indication of 2 different thicknesses of liquid to blend. I realized I had actually poured 6 ounces of one or the other, but I couldn't tell which. Based on the thickness of the 6 ounces I assumed I had poured 6 ounces of hardener by mistake, so I split that in half and added 3 ounces of resin to each of those 2 cups. But again nothing happened. Now I had 12 ounces of hardener without resin. Again I split it out to 3 ounces in each cup and very carefully poured resin and at last I had the intended mixture. Now I had 18 ounces of the mixture and needed to get it all poured within 30 minutes, I made each cup a different color. Have you ever made that much at one time? Let me tell you, it fills up a LOT of molds. I pulled out all my bigger molds, plus my intended ones and had filled molds on every surface in my art room. Leaving it over night, I came back to see how everything turned out. One color set up as usual. One hadn't set up at all and the third was like sticky taffy that hadn't been pulled yet. I could not possibly get those last 2 color sets to come out of the molds. It was a heaping pile of goo! I was afraid all the molds would be ruined! Today its 2 weeks later. None set up like normal, but finally they were like rubber and I could pull them out with a lot of twisting and pulling. The point of it all! Mark your mixing cups at the same time as you pour part A or B so you never have my mess to clean up.

@nicolehervieux1704 3 года назад

Check out “Pouring your heart out” she has great success with all kind of things like feathers, flowers, and other things in resin.

@Vixxie475 3 года назад

Steve! I want to get back into resin work and the first thing I want to make is a music box for my mum's birthday/mothers day present. I've only ever had disasters with resin. It's usually sooo sticky that it's not useable! Can you advise me what resin is reliable and do you know why it was staying sticky?? Thank you!!

@margaretgregory9713 3 года назад

Could you now use that as a bowl mold if you smoothed it down with some brushed on resin?

@chriscaraway8467 3 года назад

I must be odd I like the bowl I think it is very cool

@LisaVornhagen 2 года назад

I agree it's kind of terrible looking and a shame the plastic wrap wouldn't come off. It is kind of cool that you could make a bowl out of feathers though.

@bubblemum 3 года назад

Hey, at least it didn't go BOOM!, right? I tried to make a molded box with white feathers in resin which went from clear to light blue. The result was that they practically disappeared save for the spiky veins down the center of the feather. So back to the drawing board. I wanted the effect of fluffy feathers falling through a blue sky, not the disappearance remains of a drowned pidgeon. So I picked out the fluffies of the bag (feather tip- if your feathers are looking bedraggled, old them over the steam hole on your kettle and they will plump right up) Anyway, I sprayed them with clear shellac while in a cardboard box to keep them in place, and then sprinkled them with white iridescent glitter. Let them dry, turn them over and repeat the process. hey are still fluffy looking and very sparkly. I have not tried them in a resin project yet. Instead of giving up on the bowl, why not slowly build up another layer or two of clear resin on the outside, then add another layer of ostrich plumes (shellac sprayed or not, glitter optional...heh. I know you and glitter... Then apply them, then another layer of clear until it is the thickness and looks the way you like!

@bubblemum 3 года назад

Yellow/gold glitter and blue glitter would look soooo cool

@sheilawolfe722 3 года назад

I agree, try another layer of feathers on the outside after putting it upside down over something. That way it will be more evenly coated, and might redeem it! Thanks for another delightful video, I really enjoy your self-depricating witty humor. Cheers from Nebraska.

@letsgetcreativediy43 3 года назад

I love the most your laugh 🤭 We need to laugh 🤣🤣🤣 with being home watching nothing but corona news 😥 Thank u for sharing at least you saved me to try this on my channel lol. Good luck dear love your experiments 🌷😊⚘ عمل ممتع او مضحك لا .يهم تهم.التجربه هههه

@minnasalomaki3177 3 года назад

Maybe you could do something to it, paint it, glue some paper and do mixed media bowl or something.

@abbyferrari 3 года назад

@Vixxie475 3 года назад

It's not that bad!!! 😂😂😂

@galady8632 3 года назад

I appreciate your willingness to share the good and the not so good. And if something is learned I do not view it as a fail. No one has 100% success, that isn't reality. Channels that do not Keep It Real are quickly eliminated from my Subscribed list. In spite of the textured outside maybe add some gold paint, glitter &/or foil in random areas to create a different look. You might have to add a bit more resin on the outside to adhere the plastic shreds. Maybe a layer of resin on the sides would help offset the thick base. The fact that you laugh at yourself is endearing. Your humor adds to the entertainment value of your informative channel. I always look forward to your posts.

@katrinamoody4363 3 года назад

Very cool idea, thanks for sharing. Maybe try acetate or a silicone bowl inside of the aluminum bowl next time for a better release. I have no idea I am a resin novice just throwing some thoughts out there.

@markduggan3451 3 года назад

I have to say that you've done a lot better, put it in your shed and put odds and ends in it.

@sharonkayboone7043 3 года назад

Lesson learned 😀

@dianeburnettpookie1237 3 года назад

Hey Steve, have you tried mixing acrylic paint in a small amount of resin and using it to paint your mold before you pour the rest of the clear resin in? I have wanted to try this, but I have been worried that it would ruin my mold

@agentcallisto 3 года назад

I know it’s late, but here’s my two cents: You can paint directly onto the mold with acrylic paint and it works great as long as you let the paint fully dry before pouring in resin. Also be sure to seal it afterwards or the paint will rub off. If you mixed the paint with a little bit of resin all it would do is inhibit the cure of the resin (since the ratio of water to resin would be too high).

@marcusgreen4609 3 года назад

You can always cut it up and put the parts inside a coaster.....

@xxmindlessb1tchxx831 3 года назад

Hey there, so I have a quick question. I see for US you suggest TABLE TOP pro Resin is it the same thing as using crafting resin?? I order the one you suggested from your Link but all I see from it is stuff for actually making tables. I am trying to make coasters you made in another video you used dog pictures.

@antdylan6211 3 года назад

Turn it up side down and repeat it on the out side with different Colours and Poor as you normally would and leave it to dry the cling film plastic wrap would be hidden on in side and no one would know. Then do a layer of nice glitters on in side against the dark and it will be saved. Or send to me and I will do it for you and send it back with a video of how I did it. I enjoyed this useful video thank you Sir
