I feel like I found my guru so glad I found your channel
Maybe you could use some silicone and mold that plastic piece, then you won't even have to throw it away. Just thinking. It's an amazing idea, ty for the share
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I was also watching the whole thinking you should do a resin pour one time to seal the sand in there so you never even have to dump....maybe do both of these ideas together! cast a silicone piece and then fill it with a resin sealed sand block for weight!
@@annelisecochran9291 But that kinda just defeats the purpose of the vid “saving resin”
~Have you ever tried pouring resin into sand? It kind of absorbs/wicks the moisture💦 in like a sponge🧽 + it doesn’t allow for that little Harry Potter “hidey-hole” to stash dr💊gs(🤫⬅️😂I’m totes joking....but like: a 🔑/🔐/battery-operated tea light candle🕯/love letter📄...ok maybe that’s a bit cheesy) but maybe if you were to utilize the same grade of “hard”plastic cut to fit inside/over the sand and then seal with UV resin/or some other sealant{Zero clue if that’s a word/or if that’s how you spell it🤷🏻♀️} hot glue gun?silicone??...idk...seems like it’d be more trouble than what it’s worth; and simply to what? Make it heavier/have more weight...you know?? Anyway, geez...I digress....sorry for rambling on & on!
I was thinking the same thing. Some silicone putty would work great for making that
I love the box you keep your jewelry pliers in.
That is simply genius, and on bonus if its bit sea through you can later add led lights if you wish to turn it into lamp 😎👌
Love it!
These would be great for a fairy garden or fairy house for a plant! ❤️❤️❤️
Your houses could be a little village under a Christmas tree💖. Thnx so much for this awesome idea
Philadelphia's sales will be going through the roof :D
Very good idea. I think I'd opt for stones instead of sand to avoid getting sand in the resin, but I'm clumsy.
Ooh! Think how many island pendants(getting mold next week!) I could make with that amount of resin!! Those little machine coffee pods would work too!
this is so cool omg, I like the light-up house lol
If it's something where weight is a concern, filler material, like foil or clay works as well. Makes it more stable than empty space too
Fun idea! Saving resin is always a good thing. Battery operated tealights might also be an option to safely illuminate the house molds.
I'm a fairly new sub. The more I watch you honey, the better I like you. Your quirky personality is rather like my own. Maybe you better hope you're not as crazy as me lol. (in a really fun way of course) I love the way you've come up with these money saving tips. Brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work you do putting into these videos and ideas for us. Happy New Year.
Yes yes yes...I did a pyramid and put a clear party cup in the center and it did save a ton of resin...then I was able to put fairy lights inside the party cups, which you can't tell there's a cup in it, and then the lights are gorgeous...but I'm very new at this so I still need alot of help...these are GORGEOUS!!!
In a previous video you said that alcohol ink fades with resin. Well , I make tumblers with inks in resin to make for some very long lasting colors , and pigments as well...
Cue little houses!! Great idea too.
I save the little pots left over from condiments from McDonalds, KFC etc. that we have everything once in a while. We even save & use big pot of yogurts to small pots & pot noodle pots, small plastic containers from a take away ask my family to save theirs as well.
Instead of sand I use baking beans, uncooked rice, pasta, dried beans, lentils, pearl barley etc.
I spray a small amount of mould release spray into the bottoms of these pots & use a small clean make up brush to coat the pots & if there is some that pool at the bottom, I then pour it into the next pot & repeat the process.
I use some left over bits of resin to fill up some of these tiny little pots almost to the very top of the sauce pots (leave about 5mm gap) & I even pour some into the bottoms of bigger pots as well. I do put a small coating of mould release spray first.
If it’s a big pot, as the resin is thickening up & starting to cure, I stick a cocktail stick or clean lollipop stick in them. For the small pots, I decide if I like the colour combinations I may leave out adding a cocktail or cake pop sticks & use some uv resin to attach a magnet to them to then use them on fridges or notice boards.
The pots with the sticks in them I use them as moulded weights for the pots instead of sand or rice etc.
When the resin is cured I store them in a plastic container & when I want to make a hollow area in my resin work, like Steve has done in this video, I get my little resin pot weights & place them into similar shaped moulds they were made in or put several small ones into a bigger pot as a weight.
I hope this helps others & I apologise for rambling & probably explaining this in a long way rather than a shorter version. Enjoy crafting guys 😊
Love the little box you keep your pliers etc in❤️and patiently waiting to see you doing this method with a pyramid
I just bought a square silicone mould to put inside my pyramid but haven't tried it yet. Those little pots are a great idea for smaller things and didn't know vaseline would work - thanks :)
GENIUS! Thank you for all your videos. Not only are you informative but you are quite entertaining. Love love love binge watching your videos. Keep it up and keep me laughing. 😘
Nice to know how to save more! Thanks so much
Your videos give so much pleasure to me. You are very talented.
Wow what a fab idea
Brilliant idea.
The 3 houses on a base with lights and some of your tiny fence pieces etc would make a fantastic night light, or each one by itself for a small light. Brilliant idea!
I just happened on this video and became a subscriber. I use water bottles for the pyramids and that saves lots. Thought you were very clever with your little pots. Most of my work is clear with flowers but I can save big on the pyramids. Good day from the USA!
I can't wait to see the pyramid mould video!
So very happy for discovering your super brilliant channel....
Great idea, I will definitely be trying this.
Hello from Las Vegas amazing contents now I'm a fan
Ohmygod thats absolutely genius! Thankyou so much, that will make casting my mushroom pot lids so much better, I swear it takes like 80ml alone
😱😱😱 Aí dio mio...GÊNIO.....OBRIGADA.
Thank you so much. I have the same mold and only done once as it was a lot of resin and very heavy. Now I can. Thank you! X
Oh wow, that's an awesome idea!
that is awesome! cant wait to see the pyramid tutorial
Cannot wait to see the pyramid. I have a pyramid mold I want to use, but I want to put lights in it.
Love the tip!!! And the houses
Brilliant tip Steve. Many thanks
Super-smart tip! Thanks for sharing it. 😊
That is a great idea. I usually use the larger moulds for my leftovers and although that gives an interesting effect, this is a much better idea.
Excellent tip! I'd seen something similar done with the pyramids for lights installation, but hadn't thought about smaller molds. I've got quite a few small cake molds that this method would save a bunch on!
Красиво получилось, отличная работа.
Cute houses and great info🥰🥰
Great video - thank you.
I’ve used this same mold for cement. It makes really cute houses.
Mate, love your videos!!!!.... you really inspired me to be creative with resin. Thank you so much!!!!....🦋🌻
OMG!!!! I would have never thought of that. Many many thanks Steve you just saved me money so grateful 🙏 your houses are super cute with the lights would make a beautiful town under the Christmas tree. That technique probably wouldn't work for a diorama would it? Once again great video thank you for your great ideas. 👍 hugs from Quebec Canada 🫂
I'm so glad I saw this before I wasted resin.Thank you for sharing.
I have lots of little round containers like that. Non-Dairy Creamer comes in them. I washed out a dozen. I'm thinking of using those.
Another great idea 🤩🤩
That's fantastic!! Thanks !!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Wow didn't know you would be saving that much
Great tip!!!!
GREAT idea, thanks so much!
Thank you for this, Steve!
Those look great and I can see it looking good on a nice piece of dark wood with the lights inside.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a happy and safe New year.
