This is such a great alternative to ordering hundreds of enamel pins when you only wanted a custom design for yourself. Your videos are easy to follow, relaxing, and the pin is so high quality. I'm glad you put so much effort into your work, it really shows.
Not me soaking up your videos after making shrink plastic pins for the past 6 hours 🙈😂 you got me addicted, thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us ❤️
I'm binge watching your video it's so fun and relaxing !!! I'm excited to try shrink plastic in doing different crafts ❤️ Thank you so much you really help alot ... 🥰
Hello!! I recently discovered your channel (about an hour ago!) and I’m taking a chance to see if I could find out where you got your cat images please? They’re adorable! Love your tutorials!
Do you have the ca glue you used linked anywhere? When I looked it up on Amazon there were so many different ones and they said for wood so I was confused. Your craft is absolutely beautiful. You are so talented!
when you paint the edges, is there any concern of the paint chipping off or wearing away? i know they don't get glazed or resin on them, but since I'm doing keychains, they're sure to be exposed to some abrasive environments (pockets, bags along with other stuff in the bag rubbing against it etc). would it be a good idea to use a small paint brush to lightly brush the edges with resin?
U take making.stuff with shrink plastic to another level 👏🏻💜 I want to ask if the resin will peel off because u you mentioned that in one of your videos
So beautiful and cute ❤️. Thanks for sharing I think I'll do something similar with my niece who is obsessed with shrink plastic and especially glitter ✨
Your work is fantastic and your tips have helped me very much. The ca glue works great for the pins but I would like to glue a shrink plastic piece that I've painted and sealed with resin on both sides to a fabric ribbon. Would you know what type of glue would work best for this? I'd be making lined hair clips.l Thanks so much!
Thank you! You have two options for your project. You can use hot glue or e6000. Just make sure to sand the surface to roughen it up so the glue adheres better
I love using shrink plastic but i just never know what size to make the original before it shrinks. Mine are always too big or too small. These are adorable
Love the pins! So cute! I ordered the lapel pin findings through the link you provided, but when they got here, I didn't realize it was only the backs. Do you have the pin part you glued on that you would recommend using? :)
Does anyone know if for the UV torch to flash cure a bit during the process you can just get any of those from Amazon or does it need to be a specific one? The ones I saw available all were super weak but if it's just for flash curing and not the final curing I guess this might be enough?
wait though ive seen a few videos and many people talking about how resin pops off of shrink plastic over time :((( idk what to seal with ugh lol Update: saw other comments that you are using a printable sheet that has a sealant on it to help resin stick better! still dont know what to seal unsealed shrink plastic with before resin though lol
When I started making shrink plastic videos a few years ago, no one was taking about it. Now, I’m sure it’s a common knowledge. You don’t need to seal printable shrink plastic because it has a special coating over the plastic. But regular shrink plastic, You need to. You can seal with decopage medium or spray sealer, depending on what color medium you used.
I saw you had commented on another shrink plastic video about the resin peeling off, but that was quite some time ago. Does putting resin on both sides make it so that there is not peeling off of the resin from the shrink plastic? It looks pretty solid now :)
The Grafix printables have a special coating on the plastic so the resin doesn’t peel off. Resin will peel off of uncoated plastic so it needs to be sealed with a sealer before the resin coating
@@AmyMade You are my lifesaver! I bought the Graffix and am making jewelry but wanted to coat them properly and wanted to make sure I was using the right sealant. I will just use the resin on both sides. :)
@@AmyMade thanks! I'll check it again. At this point I've watched almost every shrink plastic video you (and crafty RU-vid) have and information is getting messy on my mind 😅😅
The water trick absolutely worked, it took away all the tackiness. However it worked so well that all the smudges i left behind were revealed, that's what i get for not wearing gloves. They still look good at one angle though. Good thing they aren't for sale.
Because uv light needs to penetrate through an object for the resin to cure. You’ll end up with uncured resin under the finding; uv resin is not meant to be used as a glue unless you’re using transparent/translucent parts. I like to glue it down first so it won’t move around while I apply the resin
