An Experiment to See If You Can use Stencils with Resin

Published 2021-03-18
Hi Everyone. I was asked if you could use stencils in resin. I did this experiment to see if you can use stencil in resin and was surprised by the results. I show the full process using two different methods to achieve two different outcomes when using stencils in resin. I think you would also be able to do this with glitter.

  • What a lovely effect! You could do multiple layers and give it a 3D effect!!šŸ’œ
  • OMG this has given a new lease of life to my stencils and another reason to make my own with my scan and cut. šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘šŸ½
  • @Denise11Schultz
    Wow, what a great idea. I could even imagine 2 stencils on two clear layers and a third layer like the blue at the back, to show depth. Like them both, and the blue is my favorite. Some false eyelash glue is plain latex (check the ingredients). It dries clear and makes a good sizing glue if somebody just wants a little bit to try. TY for this excellent addition to our toolkits. šŸ˜Š
  • @jennyconfer7765
    Thanks again Steve for all your help with the questions I never get around to checking myself you are heaven sent
  • @Kodanikage
    Painting in multiple layers with resin between has a wonderful 3D effect that Iā€™m obsessed with. Iā€™m just imagining a decorative window with flowers and waterfowl in this style with micca.
  • @marialehew5268
    If you brush mica powder in molds it actually will work. Try it in moulds
  • I love that Iā€™ve only just started to do resin crafting as in key rings crosses etc but really donā€™t know what I can use in resin and what you canā€™t
  • I love that you have ā€œwill this work?ā€ videos where you try an unconventional technique. You are opening so many doors for artistic creativity! And these turned out SOOO beautiful. Theyā€™re both fantastic but Iā€™m a big fan of the clear one.
  • @mookzmom
    Steve, I don't even know where you get your ideas, but I'm so grateful! I have lots of stencils I bought for working with clay, and I've heard you can do designs on cured resin and then coat, but this is a game changer. I think I will use my uv curing nail art glue. You just paint it on, cure it (it remains sticky) and then you can stick on foil or powders or glitters. It's also great for decals.ā¤ļø to you, my friend!
  • @clareblake1802
    I really like the new camera angles. You are amazing. Love them.
  • @doglady4817
    I like the clear one the best I havenā€™t really gotten into resin pouring yet Iā€™m just getting started
  • @dollybrown1993
    I love both of them!!!Each has its own unique characteristics... And I'm seeing so many future uses for each one!! When I learn to make the trays with a little lip on them I think I will do this around the edges. Also, maybe a clear coaster set with feathers in them using this idea. Thank you so much
  • Like watch you do.I like your idea with the stencil sheet I have a few my self!! Will try it out! Big thanks from Canada Quebec,
  • @jadekelly3707
    I've recently come across your channel as I'm new to resin art and been binge watching all of your uploads while I'm also recovering from flu! Have learned so much about resin and been inspired so much because of you thank you x I have many stencils as I also make celebration cakes and decoupage using mixed media as well as clay - resin is now being incorporated in to that in the way of embellishments as well as making stand alone pieces. Like you, I just love to upcycle and repurpose things. Isn't it fabulous how a lot of crafters often have many different creative interests? I love your videos and your energy, you do make me smile and chuckle! Thank you x
  • @lolameese
    I have following you for some time and find myself watching the videos over and over. I guess you could say you are timeless and sweet
  • @bubblemum
    Hi Steve! They came out lovely. Would you please get a sheet of heavy white card stock paper as a base to show your finished pieces on? The light blue work mat is a pretty color but it makes it hard to see the colors and finished pieces. Thanks!
  • @Theperilsofbev
    What a FABULOUS idea for securing the mica applause applause!!! Can't wait to try itšŸ‘šŸ™
  • Loving it as always! You give me new ideas every week and it's getting expensive haha maybe you should buy me a coffee šŸ¤£ loved the clear one the most
