DIY Coastal Resin Tutorial

I had several requests to put this DIY video together. I just recently started using resin. However, I found NO DIY's or tutorial or even a step by step on how to create the sea glass and coastal artwork I was seeing on Pinterest and Etsy. After pouring over Youtube, Google, Pinterest and sending several emails to artists I got nowhere. But then it happened....I got ONE email back and all I was told was that it was a resin product she created. That gave me a starting point thou! I started researching resins and Oh lord, I still have a ton of questions about resins. But I narrowed it down to one I felt I could use easily and didn't need a hazmat suit and a face mask! lol I actually LOVE this resin. It's really easy to work with and has not failed me yet! I have listed the link below. Anyway, I live in Ohio so I don't have access to the sea glass I loved so much but I'm improvising for now. 

This turned out to be a really long video but I left it like it is because there is a lot of information in it. I'll let you fast forward what you don't want to watch. Please remember this is my very 1st video and I never thought I'd be doing this. Be nice! I know the sound quality isn't the best due to my AC running in the background. Also, keep in mind I've only made 6 of these so far. I know there are other techniques out there and probably better ways to do this but with NO info or "how to" this is what I came up with. It worked for me and I only hope I can give you some help or at least inspire to you try! I jumped in and went for it and I'm glad I did! This is my technique and I hope you'll enjoy having something to give you a direction to go in or try. From there it's all YOU. The sky is the limit with these and I'd loved to see your creations after watching. Please give it a thumbs up if it helped you and feel free to share it!
