If you want to be able to avoid the issue of your resin leaking out under the frame onto your work surface, you can seal it. Simply remove the glass and apply an unbroken bead line of clear silicon (like for bathroom applications) on the back in the niche where the glass sits and then replace the glass. A razor blade or exacto knife will easily remove any visible silicon from the front of the glass. This also allows for a thicker application of resin, so you can add dried lichens, etc, as they should be completely coated, if not covered.
Great advice Katje! Thank you.
Wow... beautiful. I love seashells.❤️
SaolyArtStudio thank you so much! :)
Love it. Good work.
Weldbond glue works great for gluing you frame and glass together!❤️
Jeannine Summers thank you for that awesome tip!! 💕
this is beautiful ! Thanks for the video Thanks to you I am definitely going to try this
Beautiful! Thanks for this video! I want to make one and purchased craft water (gel) not knowing that you have to use resin instead! You saved me from a disaster!
Beautiful !!!!!
Beautiful! Thank you for the video have watched several times so hopefully am ready to get started 😀
Ooooh can’t wait to see it! Thank you 💕
This is beautiful thank you so much for the video.
K C thank you!
Turned out beautifully! Don't know WHY anyone would give you thumbs down, we all have to start somewhere so I thought you did a great job! We've been looking for ideas on how to use my daughter's sea shells. This is perfect. Thanks!!! ❤️
Avis Holt thank you so much for this 💜 I hope your daughter’s project turns out beautifully!
Probably the audio. They sound like Alvin and the chipmunks. But I agree it's beautiful work.
So pretty!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!!
it's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
You don't know how much you helped me,thanks alot and good job😄😄❤
I'm so glad to hear this helped you! Thank you kindly!! :)
Hello everyone! I uploaded some pictures of what this looks like now in its new home. I moved from CO to TX and it held up very nicely! www.chryssolor.com/seashell-art
I just love it so much. Would it work to have outside
This is so beautiful!
This is exactly what I've been wanting to do. However, I was worried about trying it with just regular acrylic craft paints like this. So glad I came upon this video. Now I know I can go on and do it soon and not worry. The resin kits are so expensive that it's not worth doing a project with unless you're absolutely sure you're going to be doing it right. Tysmfs!!! :)
That's so wonderful to hear, Sandra! I'm glad it helps. If you have any questions once you're ready to start, please feel free to ask. Best of luck on your project! :)
Alia Chryssolor, thank you, Alia. I got sick and haven't gotten a chance to get the supplies and start it just yet. However, I plan to real soon.
@@sandramullikin5088 You don't need much resin. I picked up a kit for $8.00 at AC Moore for an 8 oz kit. You don't need more than a total of 4 oz for most projects.
lisa McDonald , oh ok, that’s good to know. Thank you!
Lovely! I did this project using clear glue instead of more expensive resin. I tinted the glue an aqua colour and it turned out great! Only 69 pence a bottle at my local Poundland.
YouGottaBeKidding that’s excellent! I just wanted something a bit more durable because I was getting ready to move and wanted it to transport well. :)

@Alia Chryssolor I have done several projects using the clear glue. I buy inexpensive large glass picture frames from the charity shops to use for my seashell art. Really fun to do and the clear glue acts like resin thus far. I have a couple of larger vintage windows that I'll do next.
YouGottaBeKidding going to second hand shops is brilliant!! Thanks!
Doesn’t glue turn yellow after a while?
What kind of glue, please? ☺️
Beautiful piece..
Ivana Valova thank you!
I live on St Kitts:) Glad you liked Nevis.
Mcsteffiandboys lucky you! What an amazing place!
Inspirasi tiada henti, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing how to make this beautiful project!! I’ve been searching for tutorials on the glass art, and I notice some people glue the sea glass or shells down first and then pour resin over to set the entire art at one time. Do you ever need to do that or do you always just pour the resin first. Would love to see more if these DIY’s! Loved this one!
Mom2mx2 hi!! Thank you! 💕 I didn’t pour over the top of the shells with clear because it’s in a safe spot where no one is going to be touching it. I also love for the texture of the broken glass pieces to show all of their reflective sides. If they’re covered completely in resin, they become nearly invisible. I’d be glad to do more like this one :) I’m currently editing a video of an antique headboard I’m refinishing - I hope you like that one too!
Awesome 👏
This is beautiful! I'm new at this as well, do you have a video on using the blow torch to create the bubbles?
Wendie Davis awesome!! So the blow torch is actually to *remove* bubbles from the resin - so it’s nice and clear. I ended up not needing it for this project because I added sand and glass, which covered up any existing bubbles. I’d be glad to do a video that includes it though! Good luck with your project!
Hello, beautiful work! Would I be able to use triple thick and get the same look and super strong hold for seashells? Thank you!
L K thank you! I haven’t used triple thick, but it’s a glaze, right? It sounds like it might not be thick enough to stay in place. Resin begins to harden as you are using it, so it becomes thicker.
Alia Chryssolor okay, thank you. That makes sense. Defiantly need to try something like this. So beautiful.
Question. I got resin but it says for indoor use. What is the difference in resins that are indoor and outdoor use?
People are saying you can also use clear Elmer’s glue in place of the resin? Any thoughts?? I’m new at this so I’m looking for the best advice
Cynthia Billiar hi! You *could* use clear glue... but remember glue will peel from slick surfaces like glass. Also, if it is ever damp, the glue could separate from the surface or glued items. I prefer to play it safe and make sure my ‘treasures’ are going to stick and resist fading/cracking for years to come. 😘
Lorraine: Hi! Thank you so much for the beautiful tutorial! Can you please leave me a link as to where I can purchase the same glass frame that you used to do your beautiful project on? Thank you!
Hi! You can get one at Michaels.com or Walmart.com :)
@@aliachryssolor9570 Lorraine: Hi Alia, Thank you so much for letting me know!!! Hope you have a nice day!
Great video!!!!!
How long do you have to let it dry for? Do you use any heat to help the process along? I saw what looks like a blower in the video on the left bottom corner. Thank you!
Janet Mursuli hi! Thank you ☺️ Much appreciated! This resin needs 24 hours to fully set. If you’d like the link to where I got it on Amazon, I shared it on a few other comments. The little torch is to help bubbles come to the surface of the resin, but there was so much stuff on it, the bubbles didn’t matter anyway.
I was looking all over the internet for a how to on this type of seashell art. Thank you so much for doing the video. Also, thank you for putting a link to the epoxy. Just a thought for you: you might be able to put that link under the video and when people click on it you can make money from that.
I'm so glad it helped you, Brenda! I really appreciate the tip, too! I'll do that ;)
Wow
What kind of paint do I mix in the resin epoxy?
Any acrylic paint will do! :)
It looks great. It doesn't show what the second mixer was. I see the first was crystal clear epoxy resin but I missed the second bottle?
michele carreira hi! The resin comes in 2 bottles and they have to be mixed together. :)
what kind of resin do you buy and where is the cheapest place
?
Hi Sherry! I used this one from Amazon. They have great prices. www.amazon.com/EPOXY-RESIN-CRYSTAL-COATING-TABLETOPS/dp/B00V2GXD5A/ref=pd_bap_rp_24?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BDZDDESCZ9VYH22BSBWZ
Very nice. What did you mix w the resin? I couldn't read the bottle. Very pretty project. Thank you.
If you seal the back (I use caulk) you won't get the runoff out of the cracks...
Shoe Goo also works great.
I've never tried that. Does it harden just like resin? Thanks!!
Very nice
Beautiful..where do they sell the resin? Love to try this
catherine saulnier EPOXY RESIN CRYSTAL CLEAR 32 oz Kit. FOR SUPER GLOSS COATING AND TABLETOPS www.amazon.com/dp/B00V2GXD5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uTvNCbCN5HGKK
how did you finish off the back?
It actually sits on a surface, so I didn't add any hardware. Here it is: www.chryssolor.com/seashell-art
Hopefully that helps!
Beautiful. Older people have these issues.
Would rather hear you explaining, then having the music. Can't See product labels at all. People that have slower internet get blurred words on the video.
Moozie Calf thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. I will be sure to do so in the future! 💕
Wow this is amazing I can’t wait to make it! How long does it take for the resin to dry? Can I get it at my local craft shop?
Nina Po thank you! I let the resin dry for 24 hours. It can be found at a craft shop - I got this on Amazon though. It’s usually much cheaper! I’d love to see it when you’re done!!
Alia Chryssolor awesome. I love amazon. This is truly amazing and I am going to try to make it this weekend.
A fish in a shell cause us to be geniue
I actually appreciate the acid rock
You didn't have to Resin on top to seal the seashells?
No, because it wasn't going to be disturbed and I didn't want the shells to be shiny. :)
Can I ask do you use a heat gun or a torch? I'm a hit confused on when I'm meant to use it? Thanks. Amazing picture.
Jessica Bale hi! For this project, you won’t need one. It’s primarily for removing bubbles from resin pours. You can’t see the bubbles in this because all of the seashells/glass/sand cover them up anyway ☺️ Thank you!
@@aliachryssolor9570 sorry last question. I've seen some people use pigment. Do you use this for this particular art of just the acrylic paint? Thanks.
Jessica Bale no worries! Ask as many questions as you want to. You could use pigment, mica powder, or acrylic paint. They all look nice! This one is just the acrylic craft paint.
It doesn't look like you used that much resin. Did the large starfish stay on there without falling off with just that little amount?
Resin is incredibly strong! This project survived a move from Colorado to Texas without anything falling off. Glue would probably not hold up as well if it was moved around like that. Thanks for your question!
I uploaded some pics for you at www.chryssolor.com/seashell-art
Beautiful!! How long does it take to be completely dry?
Odette Turcotte thank you Odette! It takes 24 hours to fully cure.
Thank you for the quick reply!!
You mention in the beginning that you mix the resin into one ounce cups. It looks like you mix 2 types of resin. Is it only one type? What is the name of the resin to get on Amazon?
resin is always in two cans, the resin and the hardener :)
Here is the link to the one I got on Amazon. It's very reasonably priced. www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWT156B/ref=sxts_kp_lp_3?pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=KbKf8&pf_rd_r=A0KX1BR9PKQ9SAVY0BV9&pd_rd_i=B01LWT156B&pd_rd_w=7Q2PG&pd_rd_r=c8adc83a-e9ce-4a40-98d6-66126b7dcdd0&ie=UTF8&qid=1546790383&sr=3
I see you have a heat gun next to your art, did you use that to speed drying?
No, it's to get rid of bubbles in the resin. They are pulled to the surface with the heat.
song sounds familiar, is it portugal. the man?
Brianna Ramos no, it’s a royalty free pick from you tube :)
You didn't indicate how you keep the resin from going under the glass.
Don't pour too much on there! ;)
It's a pretty thick substance, but be conservative with how much you use because it will spread out.
C
I was gonna make one of these, do you put all this on the front or back side of the glass?
Amy Whisnant hi! I put it on the front of the glass. Good luck! 💕
Prefer you describing what you're doing. So how did you exactly let everything stick? Who was on the phone?
I will describe next time. Thanks for the feedback! No one on the phone... just learning how to edit sound lol
Τι κόλα ρευστή βάζετε???
Χρησιμοποίησα εποξειδική ρητίνη δύο μερών
So since you took out the back piece from the frame, how do you hang it or how did you display it?
starryy1980 I’ll post a pic for you in a bit!
Wish I could've heard what you were saying
lol gotta figure out how to do this sound editing!
Hi Alia, I am looking for the list of everything I need to do this project. I have lots of seashells and sand and such. I know nothing about Resin or Acrylics. Can you please forward me the list of things I need.
Thank you so much, Tressia
Good luck with your project, Tressia!

@@aliachryssolor9570 I appreciate the list as well. My daughter wanted me to make her one I've never used resin before. I don't know why it makes me nervous ☺️. This is so beautiful ❤️ thank you so much. Have a beautiful day.
Alia Chryssolor have you thought about signing up for amazon affiliate. You can create a storefront with one link to give people and it’s easier for them to grab multiple items without having to come back to CZcams. It helped me out a lot so hopefully it helps you because I remember the days of posting links like you did above 😂 this art piece is absolutely beautiful. Long before a lot of artists started doing the ocean resin art. Good job!!! 🥰
Love the video but am I the only one where the voice is like chipmunks? Not sure if it's my computer or if it's real. Thank you for the instructions
Debbie Jones thank you for your comment! I have only created one video on CZcams so far, and I didn’t get the audio right. My apologies! Kindly, Alia
OK. No worries. I just wasn’t sure if you were aware. And I wasn’t sure if it was just my computer. But I like the video because it showed me how to do that. Thank you
Ive done the same thing my self. I hear chipmuncks not good
I'd love to see it! lol sorry for the sound... still learning how to edit!
Music is sucking
Be careful with having conversations in the background. And no music…
Not a fan
I liked it until she cluttered it with all the shells.
Everyone has different taste! You can always do fewer on yours
It’s beautiful, but , the silly fast talking n the background spoils the video. Sorry, try to be constructive.
