Thank you. Since this is an old video....fyi ICE resin has been discontinued so now I use a UV resin. I'm using Picassio but there are others I have not tried.
This is the video tutorial I have been searching for! Still watching but wanted to send out an immediate THANK YOU! for your techniques! OMG, THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! I should point out that since this video the product I used is no longer available. I am currently using Picassio, a UV resin which makes this project much faster. I'll need to update my video one of these days.
Thank you for watching! That's a great idea. The ICE Resin product I used has been discontinued but you should be able to use a UV resin and get the same results. I haven't tried it yet but will be posting and updated video when I do. 🥰
You’re welcome 😊. I need to update these videos...since making this one, the product I used is not longer on the market. I now use a UV resin called Picassio but there are many different brands of UV resin. Have fun!
This was one of the BEST crafting videos I’ve seen!! You teach this so well and are so thorough. I LOVE these buttons so much!! I have so many circle cut-outs that I am hoarding because I don’t know what to do with them…until now! Most of them are from beautiful papers I created with monoprinting, collage, etc.. They took me a while to make, so I haven’t wanted to use them until I could figure out something really cool. Thank you for these ideas and your wonderful videos. I also loved the video on creating mark-making tools with hot glue. Will try that sometime too.
Thank you so much! Since making this video I was told UV resin would be faster drying. I've purchased some but haven't tried it yet. My buttons are waterproof using ICE resin so I'm hoping UV resin will achieve the same results in a faster processing time. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️
You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. The ICE Resin product used in this video is no longer on the market so I've started using a UV resin called Picassio as a replacement. It actually makes the process faster. 😊
Thank you....that's what I'm here for...I should note that ICE Resin has been discontinued but I have found that UV resin is working just as well and much faster. I'll have to do a new video with this update.
Yes, I save those too...from my Cuties. I now have netting bags in orange, green (avocados) and purple (Brussels sprouts), in addition to the onion and potato bags.
Thank you. I do need to mention since the airing of this video, the ICE Resin product has been discontinued. The good news is I've started using UV resin which is much faster. Here's a link to the one I'm using now: amzn.to/47b91vO. I haven't experimented yet with washing the buttons after using UV resin but plan to do an updated video once I have. 🥰
Ohhh, this in now on my buy next list. I want sewing buttons mainly but junk journal thingys will happen, too. I want to wad up a mess of thread snd put ontop..have seen it done onto glue blob to make a wee bird nest looking deco... my wonky slow stich project could use lots of button nests! And i can finally afford the oversized shaped buttons i have drooled over for so long, wheee.
I'm so glad you're inspired! That's why I started making these...for my neck warmers and to use in journals. I have a new follow up video you should watch with a couple of new tips. I've even started selling them in my Etsy Store. Here's a link to the new video in case you haven't found it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2p2QVflYr9M.html
Thanks so much! I plan to do an updated video at some point. The ICE Resin product used in this video has been discontinued. I'm currently working with Picassio which is a UV resin. In fact, I just ordered and received a new UV lamp that I hope will make this process even easier. Here's a link to the resin I use now: amzn.to/3JiW21z and here's the UV lamp which I have not tried yet, it just arrived yesterday: amzn.to/4aQR9Zi.
I agree with the other comments. I was mesmerized but this entire video! You did a great job of explaining everything from start to finish. Plus the end product looks very professional. Great job!!!
I'm planning to make some of the paper leaves using book pages for the challenge I'm working on now...maybe I'll even try to make some paper beads. I like adding dangle and such to my notepads so we'll see what we come up with.
Great video. Great ideas and beautiful details. Love the textures, well done. I also love to reuse items. Very creative. Well done. So glad I found your channel. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I've considered taking down these videos and redoing them because ICE Resin has been discontinued so I need to try doing them with a UV resin which will be faster anyway. ❤️

@@heartandsoulfuldesign yes I did search for ice resin and found it had been discontinued.... I don't think you should take any of your videos down though...you spent so much precious time on them ❤️ maybe just do an updated tutorial if you have time 🙂 thank you again
I loved this video. I haven’t seen any videos in this genre so you’re a trailblazer imho. Your buttons are beautiful and truly professionally created and packaged. There were several that were incredibly eye catching; the delicate flower plates, the sheet music, etc. Your attention to detail, professional packaging and explanation of the steps were inspired. Forgive me for my repetition but I can’t help myself. Lol I create all manner of items from custom faux stained lamp shades, jewelry, journals, cards, clocks that are resin finished, etc. Your video gave me so many ideas for custom buttons that I will create in the themes for my journals in specific motifs such as angels, celestial, boho, holidays & seasons. I have worked with resin for decades using EnviroTex. I will also have a great opportunity to use my jewelry Dremel. Hooray! My imagination is going wild with ideas you’ve inspired. I am eager to make some buttons using gilding wax, glitter, foil flakes, etc. I recently purchased some cork sheets from Dollar Tree ($1.00!!!), so I can recreate your gorgeous cork buttons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for priming my creative juices. Blessings.
Thank you so much! Warning....it's really addictive. When I started it's all I wanted to work on...they take awhile so I've slowed down a bit trying to find balance with all the other things I make as well. Have fun! ...and yes...I also end up with more ideas than I have time to make. ❤️
❤❤❤❤Thanks so much! Great tutorial and techniques! Thinking for use with pouring paint skins for necklaces ÷ jewelry instead if just buttons. Might b a while but ill b in touch! 😊🎉
Hi Joanne. Thank you. For these buttons I used ICE Resin and they are washable. I've only tried hand washing and and also just leaving the buttons sitting in water overnight. ICE Resin has since been discontinued. I've purchased a UV resin product to try but haven't made buttons with it yet. I would think that as long as the resin covers every bit of the buttons so that water can't penetrate to the paper then any resin should work and be washable. I'm sure when I try the other resin I will be doing another video to update followers. 🥰
@heartandsoulfuldesign I look forward to that video. I live in Sydney, Australia, so hope I can buy the same products you will use. I'm planning a new garment range with exclusive prints, offering matching jewellery, buttons & fabric bags.
Fabulous video, thanks so much for some lovely ideas, Sherri. I know you planned to link a _lot_ of items in the description box, but other than the ice resin page I can't see them - unless I'm looking in the wrong place!
Thank you. Yes you can! I do a shank style so there is no hole drilled after to let water in. I did a test where I left them in a cup of water overnight and they were fine. I recommend hand washing the neck warmers so they really should be fine. 🥰
The title of this video is deceiving. It was Episode 3 of a playlist on using Ice Resin for paper crafting. However, here's a link to my "Buttons" Playlist which only has 2 videos: ru-vid.com/group/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3yopdimGveKBJ8_A3ck2_b I should mention that ICE Resin has been taken off the market so now I use a UV resin called Picassio but there are also other brands available.
Thank you Linda....I could just 🤗 you! That's exactly what I need and I could not for the life of me remember what they were called 🤣. I could picture them in my head but couldn't find them online without the name. I will definitely be ordering some for the next batch. ❤️
I usually use at least three. It really depends on the thickness of the material you are using and how thick you want your buttons. You'll have a fourth layer with what you're using on top for the decorative part and the thickness of that decorative layer may determine how many cardboard layers you want. I'm also using a different resin product now because ICE Resin has been discontinued. The one I'm using now is a UV resin called Piccassio. I'll be redoing these videos at some point but in the meantime here's a link: Piccassio UV Resin: amzn.to/41DHHVP
Yes. I did a wash test and the held up fine. You just have to make sure all the edges are covered. Ice Resin is no longer available and I have not tested the new product I'm using to see if it is also waterproof but I'm assuming it is. I'm now using Picassio amzn.to/3QW2oYR.
Hi, there. Your link to your Episode 1 navigates me to Episode 3. I’m unable to find the elusive first episode, if you would kindly furnish me with the link. Many thanks.
Sorry for the confusion. I think I figured out what happened. As far as the button videos go, it looks like there were only two. Here's the link to that playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3yopdimGveKBJ8_A3ck2_b. I think what happened is that I started a playlist doing mashups with jewelry and paper craft. This video was the third in that series but then I did a part 2 in the button making which is in this playlist. I'll have to see if I can find the earlier two episodes in the mashup series. I may have deleted them as I am trying to redo these videos because ICE Resin is no longer available. I am now using a UV resin in its placed want to do new videos.
Hi Veronique. A couple of reasons actually. I was trying to find a way to marry my jewelry techniques with paper craft and use what I have. I don't have all the UV resin materials, lamp, etc. and I'm not sure if it would dome like my jewelry resin and allow me to resin the edges, etc. which in the case of my jewelry resin, makes the buttons waterproof and completely sealed. The UV resin would definitely make this project faster so I may have to invest in the materials one of these days and give it a try. ❤️
@@heartandsoulfuldesign I have been watching many RU-vid videos and I think UV is a good alternative. I have no experience with resin but want to make my own buttons. I think I will go the UV route. A UV lamp only costs a few $. As far as I can tell, it domes just as well. I wonder if the buttons survive washing in a washing machine. The holes being drilled afterwards, doesn't the water get in?
I make buttons with a shank so there are no holes. I’ve only tested the shank style. I may invest in UV materials myself at some point and try it out. I sure do like the quick aspect of the UV. Good luck with your buttons.🥰
I have been making buttons based off your videos, but UV resin was what I had on hand, and I must say!!! Ooh la la! Lovely results and uv domes really nicely 😘 Thank you for all the inspiration!
I actually use UV resin now. The product I used in this video is no longer available. I actually started with making resin jewelry many years ago and when I was introduced to the art, this was the product I used. When I started doing other things like junk journals, I was looking for a way to use the products and skills I already had and combine them with paper craft. I find that UV resin is much faster so your question makes total sense to me. 😉
@@heartandsoulfuldesign good to know, I wasn’t sure if there was an advantage to one product over another. I started with epoxy resin crafting s few years ago and while I loved that the possibilities are really cool, over all, I hated it bc it was so messy and required sooo many additional products (molds, inks, pigment powders, inserts, inlays, shimmers, glitters, etc etc etc). I am a person of very limited means and a craft that constantly costs so much isn’t for me but I have recently started making paper beads and buttons seam like a fun thing to add to that. I do crochet and I have shied away from making things that require buttons bc I hate to spend money on more things so I can see me definitely going down a rabbit hole with this! 😂
@@heartandsoulfuldesign you showed few in the video and they were lovely. I usually make purses and stuffies so homemade buttons would be a great resource for closures and eyes!!
I'm not sure the exact size because I used some wire that came from a craft store like Michael's and it's not labeled with the gauge. I'm going to guess 18 or 20.
Hi Sandra. Thank you. I did get this advice from someone else early on and did purchase some to try. I haven't tried it yet...I seem to be constantly moving on to other things. At the time I was trying to see how I could "use what I have" and combine my jewelry making hobby with my new paper crafting hobby. I definitely think the uv resin will be faster and easier but will want to do the laundry test to be sure it's the best choice. 🥰
@@estudiojac2424 Yes, it is a problem. I wear an N5 mask and am considering a respirator mask. I also use gloves to keep it off my skin. And I wear my hair back so I don't accidently swipe through my hair with the resin.
Some that I used were designer wrapping papers and I don't know the designer or name. Some were single craft sheets from Michaels and some were Tim Holtz 8x8 Idea Abandoned.
