Idk if u know this but u can cut shrink plastic with a Cricut machine, just copy ur design and put on top of each other select and acetate setting and put pressure more!
Ooh I heard about using the Cricut to cut it out but I was scared to try. I will definitely try that out for more accurate cuts next time. Thank you!!
@@mandateee ive heard a lot of bad things from cutting with cricut
I cut shrink plastic with my expression years ago as bad as the machine was the cuts were fine and will try in my explore in a few days or so.
@@Cuddlingus there are other cutters out there, too.
Glad you're feeling better! As much as we love seeing your content, health always comes first.
Thank you 🥲
really cute but can flame the top of the uv resin before curing to get rid of the bubbles so the bubbles dont cure into in the finish
I'm honestly so surprised you don't have more subscribers or views. Your channel is so underrated 💕
Aww thank you for supporting! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this! I bought everything you had linked, except for the acrylic markers. I appreciate this so much!
That's awesome! Hope you have fun making your creations :)
Love the bt21 one ones
i'm ready for all the raider and moose merch haha 💕
Drop coming soon 😂
its look so cute and meditative!
Those are all so cute 🥰
The coloring part has the omg by newjeans background music so iconic
Thanks for incarage me with this video 👍😸❤️
amazing! so satisfying to watch. would a transparent top coat nailpolish work too instead of uv resin?
Ooh it's possible that a clear coat could work but I'm not sure how it'll hold up over time. I think it's worth a try if you happen to have it at home! Doesn't hurt to do a little test piece and see :3
looks good 👍
Can’t you just get ink jet shrink plastic? Is there a benefit to drawing it on instead of just printing it?
These are adorable! Also I good tip with the jump rings, it looked like you pulled them apart at the sides, try not to do that because it actually weakens them a and it’s hard to get them back to a circle. Take one pair of pliers on one side and the second pair on the other, hold one side still and with the other hand slightly push forward to open the ring, then put your piece in and the side that you pushed open, pull closed. It keeps the strength and shape of the ring better.
Yes I didn't know that before! Thank you for sharing~
Thank you for the helpful tutorial! I was curious, if you want to make the background glittery and add your drawing on top, how should you do it?
I’m not exactly sure how you can make the background glittery but I have seen people try mixing glitter in with the resin to create that shimmery effect! There might be other tutorials for that :)
following you guys
Hi also when opening the jump rings, it’s better to twist sideways instead of pulling it apart because it creates weak spots in the ring and it doesn’t close as neatly.
Yes I learned that recently! I'll definitely do that from now on. Thanks!
@@mandateee no worries 😊 x
Cute ❤
everyone : watching carefully her every steps
me : *vibing with the background music* u got me looking for attentionnn ♪
Great ♥︎
I've heard that the resin can easily slide off of shrink plastic after curing since apparently the type of plastic is resistant resin! To avoid this, people have suggested to coat the piece with mod podge before applying the resin, so the resin adheres to the mod podge layer... has there been any issues with your charms?
Yes I've definitely heard that before! Thankfully, I haven't seen any issues with the charms/keychains I've made. At the moment, I don't see the resin lifting from the shrink plastic material and even if I scratch at it, it feels like it's one whole piece rather than two layers.
A tip for opening jump rings - twist them open and closed instead of pulling them open and pressing them closed.
They will be stronger, hold better, and not deform. This is because twisting metal causes the atoms inside to align together, and the metal becomes become stronger as a result.
Pulling and pushing cause atoms to scatter, and the metal becomes weaker and breaks at the bending point.
Plus, twisting is easier than pulling and pushing.
Good to know! I'll definitely do that from now on :)
Woww thank you so much ❤🙉
Can you microwave them to obtain similar results?
Woow so cute 🥹❤️
I love it
Heyyy! I love the tutorial its very useful but i was wondering if there was another appliance that we could use instead of the oven to bake it :D
Hi! I believe some people use heat guns on these but I'm not sure if the plastic will shrink evenly in comparison to the oven.
Would resin be sold at stores like hobby lobby or is it more of an online purchase? I love how the pins and keychains turned out and want to try making my own :)
Based on their websites it looks like it can be found at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JOANN!
they are so cute 🥺
I was wondering if you have and tips on how to make the jump rings/chain secure? mine keep breaking off :(
I would highly recommend investing in higher quality jump rings and chains! That's the only real way I've found that helps them stay secure:(
superglue? Resin?
hello! quick question! with these markers, did you use the frosted side or the glossy side?
Hi! I used the frosted side :)
I am soo making tis😊
Yes please do!
Is the type of pen u use important?
Do you know if you can use wood colours to paint???
I'm not quite sure! I haven't used wood colors so I can't say how it would work :( Acrylic paint markers will work best for this because I tried regular acrylic paint and it peeled when I baked the keychains in the oven.
Это листы для ламинирования?в при высокой температуре они уменьшаются?
THESE ARE SUPER CUTE!!! 💖💖 I just got materials to make my own! Can i know the size in centimeter of ur drawings before and after baking?
Yay that's awesome! It's been awhile since I made mine, but the biggest dimension was probably around 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) and it shrunk down to around 1.25 inches (3.175 cm). Hope that helps! The shrinking may vary if it is a different brand as well. Your first batch will likely become testers so just have fun with it and play around with different sizes :)
Is the UV lamp optional or does it have to be included?
With UV resin, it can harden when it's put outside in the sun, so the UV lamp is definitely optional! The UV lamp is a bit faster and good if you live somewhere that is more overcast.
what is the image size for 1 shrink sheet?
Hi,what application did you use to make your own design
Hi my designs were done in Procreate! It's an app I used on my iPad and you pay a one time fee for it.
@@mandateee Great,thank you..
mang and koya!
Where did you buy the tacs for the pins??
Found them on Amazon! I just searched up "pin backs."
is it toxic to bake in a conventional oven? can I still use it to bake food?
The instructions do not have any warnings about it being toxic when used in a conventional oven, so I am hoping that it is safe. To be cautious, I would avoid baking food on a tray that was used to shrink plastic in case it leaves any residue/traces.
you should open the jump rings to the side not apart
Good idea! I'll try that next time
So slay
What type of marker did you used for coloring?
They are acrylic paint markers I got on Amazon and they're also linked in the description!
what paper is it
I would love to do this kind of stuff, my problem is I cant draw😢
Thank you for video, loved it❤❤
You can start off by tracing designs for fun! It is nice being able to make custom designs but I'm sure you can still make it fun depending on your skill level ☺
@@mandateee Thank you, i will do that, new sub to your channel, thank you for your suggestions I will try it.
Is there a way to do these without resin or a printer?
You can free hand your designs but since I have a printer, it makes it easier for me to trace whatever design I have in mind. The resin isn't necessary, but I think it gives it a nice look. I've seen that some people use mod podge instead too!
bt21 💜😭 reminded me of jin is coming
If we put the sticker directly on the plastic shrink, is that possible? or do we have to draw it directly on the plastic shrink??
Since the sticker is not shrink plastic, it will not shrink with the plastic shrink. If you draw it, the design will shrink along with it.
there are printable versions of shrink plastic if you're looking to make your own design without drawing right on it
so nice ❤😍👍 new friend
Can I also use alcohol markers instead of acrylic?
and what can I use as an alternative to uv resin?
@@spicychocolate9449so sorry for replying late, but you could use clear nail polish!
@@hm.katrina thank you :))
@@spicychocolate9449 ofc 🫶🫶 again, so sorry for replying late 😭😭
Army's ...💜I saw mang and cola .they were cute tho
You should update your video and add the new Mang 2.0 now that he took his mask off!
Where can we buy the materials?
Amazon.
What tool do you use to punch a whole in your keychains ?
Just a regular hole puncher!
Can I know before or after baking😊@@mandateee
@@sereiine Definitely do it before you bake!
Where do you buy all this?
I linked most of the items I used in the description! They were all from Amazon but I’m sure some craft stores sell similar items as well
Whats the coat name? What you called it? I mean chiiro? What is the keyword if i wanna search? Sorry for my bad english:(
It’s UV Resin and the brand I use is Chiiro!
All are just so cute what if its not uv, just a resin i wonder
I haven’t used regular resin before but it might be able to work! I think regular resin might take longer to harden so there’s the risk of dust and other particles getting stuck while you wait for it to dry
What is the name of the program you make your draft?
I used Procreate! It is a paid app though. I think right now it's around $13 but its a one-time payment, so that's not too bad~
Which plastic sheet you ues
It's been awhile since I purchased these, but I believe it's the Auihiay Shrink Plastic Sheets from Amazon!
Badzdzo łącznej dnie widać że masz wprawę
Which app used in thumbnail editing...?
I use Photoshop to put the three images side by side and I use Procreate to draw little doodles on top, but I think there are other free ways to do the same thing!
@@mandateee thank you ❤️
do we all own the same mrs. fields cookbook lmao
Maybe I actually stole yours 🤔
Are the pins for sale😺
Not these ones specifically but I can make anything you request 😏
Ummmm.. can we use normal plastic?
If you are trying to get that hardened shrink effect not really
Shrink plastic when baked gets smaller and thicker (so ig more durable)
@@fawnlove9527 ok thanks 👍 ❤️
My cat looks like Moose(because mustache) and Raider(because b/w and diamond shape)
will buy the raider keychain if he doesn't want it
Sorry he said he wants it :/
use a heat gun before you cure the resin to get th e bubbles out
Yes I've been meaning to get one to do this! Thanks for the tip :)
@@mandateee falso will leave it to kinda settle and then slowly stir in the sparkles /pigment , for epoxy you can’t for toooooo long ! Cause in 20 mins it starts to harden.
@@mandateee Ty for the video tho!!! I got shrink paper to make jelly fish and cute pins !! 🥹🙏🍄
Cant we use any other paper??
About your other/second cat why he/she is have a mustache
Because she’s perfect! 🥸
Is there anything else that can replace the resin?? Amazing video btw, it helped me a lot 🫶
Is there a way to to this by printing onto the shrink plastic so you don’t have to use markers?
I'm not sure about printing, but if your not a fan of markers, coloured pencils work great. 😊
What if you don’t have a uv light or resinin
If you would like extra protection and a glossy finish, I would recommend getting some UV resin if you can! You don't need a UV light because the resin can also harden in sunlight. I personally haven't tried other alternatives to UV resin but there might be other tutorials that explore that :)
Does the resin layer adhere well to the plastic?
Yes I would say so! It's been 3 months since I first made this video and all my creations have no signs of the resin peeling off. I don't even know if I could peel the resin off if I tried haha
Thank you.. This is so helpful btw your hand crafts are so beautiful❤
