Tutorial - Resin Shaker Charm!!

Hi all! In this video, you will see my process of creating a resin shaker charm. Its a relatively easy process and produces cute results. I wanted to play with my new Pikachu mold and thought moving crystals in the heart cut out would add that extra something. :) Check out Molds by Mia on Etsy (fabulous molds!). I initially used Mod Podge as my glue source, but E6000 is better for this application as it works better for non porous surfaces like plastics and has a quicker dry time. Remember to keep your glue relatively thin and even. :) Links below to the mold shop, resin, and crystals used. Thanks for watching and remember to craft happily ever after!\r

Craft stores, Storenvy, and Etsy (LOTS of great choices on Etsy).\r

My home state of Indiana (Go COLTS!) though I have crafted around the world/USA, with my husband, for the Army. \r

I have been playing with resin for about 3 years now. As for general crafting.all of my life. :)\r
\r
6. What is your favorite sealer for resin pieces?\r
Doming with resin is always my main preference but if not doming with resin, I like to use TreeHouse clear acrylic spray in gloss (Hobby Lobby brand) and I LOVE Americana Dura Clear gloss glaze (works great for polymer clay too). \r
\r
7. How do you seal your paper stickers?\r
I prefer to use non paper stickers when possible or transparency films the most, but\r
when I use paper stickers, I use the plastic sheeting/mod podge method as of now (the \r
straight mod podge method is way to inconsistent). Crafterzdelights and SugarCharms808 have great tutorials. \r
