Crafty Pic Catch Up! (10)

Anyone else notice I started capitalizing the first letters for some reason in the last several titles?

Anyways, onto the crafty!

Fabulous!
Where are these bubbles coming from?!
Fixed it a little bit, but somehow looks weird?
I gave the blueberry snow cones to my Cherished Teddies!
I actually got several duplicates of this set interestingly enough. It doesn’t happen often though, but even if it did I love extras!

Another Cherished Teddy got an iced coffee!(yes, I need to fix the pinwheel, I forgot!)

I retried the Lord of the Rings Elven blade mold with just clear resin and my uv lamp. It came out SO great!

I’m guessing the uv lamp made the difference, but just in case it was partially because of the glitter additive, I’ll be trying it again with glitter…I just need more hilts.😁

I think we’re almost to the end of the back dated crafty things, but I have so many pics saved on my phone I could find another hundred and not be surprised!🤣

Ta for now!!

This was a NIGHTMARE!! No pun intended. The resin would NOT come out and I finally had to use a toothpick and spread it on the inside of the cup to make it look like it was full.
Used more resin along the inside of the lid to make it look full since I couldn’t get enough resin into the cup itself.
The cinnamon sticks left small holes some how where they entered the eggnog, but it’s not enough of a problem for me to fix.
Memo to self: add dry ingredients first so it doesn’t spill when you start mixing together!

So much fun with all of these!!

See everyone next week!

I thought the little dipper would be cute with liquid in it and it did not disappoint!
I’m not a fan of skeletons or skulls fyi.
The balls turn into potion bottle displays! I’m not keeping any of them because it takes up way too much space, but I like that they think of these things.

So I used an extra set of skull mugs and milk jugs for this set instead of the skeleton bottle. Since it was still spooky vibes I also added some mushrooms and the gummy worms for effect!

I love the mold sets!!
Had enough extra to make a third mushroom and took liberties with the stem!

I have a turtle!

I have an idea for how I’ll display all of these because I did NOT think of that before hand. 😳

Until next week, keep praying cause God likes hearing from you!

I couldn’t get the stencils to work right for this one so just made it look like a cocoa topping!

The supplies from the Harry Potter sets are adorable! The tiny containers and wood looking tables are my favorite! I made sure to keep some of the ingredients for other projects!

Bubble is filled, but one angle doesn’t look so good.
Better angle! I really just need to spread resin on the entire top for a smoother look, but I’m not upset about it so might just leave it as is.
The bear popsicles kept shedding crumbs so I had to do a layer of clear resin to keep them on.

The swords are mended, though obviously not the best looking. I’m actually trying out another sword with my uv light now to see if that cures it completely. Will, of course, let y’all know!

Forgot the before pic, sorry!

Keep it crafty till next week!

I have NO idea where that huge bubble came from! I’m trying to punch a hole in it to fill it with resin. Will update.
Not bad for first fry at cakes!
Loved how this one came out! So smooth looking!

These spa sets are so fun but since they’re practical and can actually be used (obviously I don’t want to) I need to find a way to seal them.

Resin is the obvious choice, but I’m concerned with particles falling off while putting the resin on. And how to do that in the first place.

Keep enjoying God’s blessings!

See ya later!

Did the main layer and then a second to add the cereal and raspberries on top.
No other way to cure these types of things without making a mess.
I’ll be taking a pic of all the ones I get done this vacation to show peeps. Which is why they’re squished in here and not spread out!

I didn’t use the gingerbread men because the pics of Yule logs I found online never seemed to have them and I figured I’d keep them for something else.

Really liked how this came out and even had a duplicate show up later!

Have a fantastic week everyone!

Read a good book! Or THE Good Book!

Instructions said to use both bags of soap mix and I did, but it ended up being too much for the mold so I had to unmold some before cooling them. It’s why there’s some that look better than the rest.

The mold is silicone though so I’m going to clean it and try it with resin!

Using extra boxes for storage!
The caramel resin was thicker and acted like actual melted caramel!

I used an extra table to set the apples on to cure the first time so I’d get that flat bottom look. I also used the granola stuff from the bear popsicles instead of opening the pieces that came with this set.

I’ve been doing that with quite a bit. Using what’s already open just makes sense.

These actually work!

You put the ice and resin in the top and it’ll dispense them into the cups!!

Only problem is that the resin is using gravity alone and so it takes FOREVER!

I haven’t been using the actual machine since the first one, since they’re mostly for collecting and entertainment the fact they work is enough for me!

Definitely resined the ornaments on the branches!

Probably could have used more resin for this, but I didn’t realize how obvious it would be through the vase.

Still more to go!

Stay safe and don’t forget to thank God for all the things!

The resin does a great job keeping the popcorn in the bowl!
A toothpick is the answer! I’ve been struggling with getting glazes to ‘fall’ from the sides and toothpicks are the answer!
I laughed so hard when I opened this one!

Literally just set the pieces in the mold and resin them together. I used the resin from the last set I opened (where the mold is too dark to set correctly, though I may try again with my UV lamp) instead of opening a new one.

Definitely using the mold to make my own swords, because why not?

Another mold one! Love these!

I did not look at the instructions close enough and so dumped the toppings in at the same time as the broth.

Really hope I get another one to redeem myself with, but not too unhappy since it just looks like someone started stirring it before eating.

The mistake, if y’all can’t see it well, is that the gold dust on top is supposed to be broth. So I should have added it to the noodles and resin, mixed it up then added the toppings and cured it.

Oh well!

See you next week and keep praying!

Over abundance of crafty pics!

Scrolling through my camera roll I find that I have a TON of crafty pics I haven’t posted yet so I think it would be best if I just posted those the next couple of weeks.

Here we go!

The mold needs to be clamped or something because otherwise the resin oozes through the seams.
Had to sand the edges of excess resin from the ooze.
Forgot to take ‘before’ pic, sorry!

See ya next week with more!

Stay crafty!!
