Question by Jess: What should we name our shop?

My best friend and I are opening a little shop. We will be selling handmade crafts!
Rosettes, jewelry, headbands, graphic pictures, DIY products, rings, etc.

We’re trying to come up with a name, and we’re wondering if you guys could help us!

We love anything and everything vintage. Birds are our favorite thing. We love the words:
Simple, Bird, Pretty, Sweet, Southern, Darlin’, Vintage, Sparrow, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Little, etc.

Can you help us? :) Names do not have to be limited to the ones listed above. That’s just giving you an idea of what we like! And it would even be awesome if you could help us come up with something about being friends, etc.

We would really love and appreciate any ideas!

    @arich1100 The bottom of the molds are open, so that you can easily remove your resin piece once it’s cured. Place your molds on a flat, level surface while you use them to ensure that the bottom of your finished resin piece will have a flat, level bottom.

  2. arich1100 Says:

    Hello. Are the bottom of the molds flat?

  3. Beadaholique Says:

    @MikeilaM If you want to stick an eye pin into the resin, you need to do it while it is still wet. Once it is cured, you will not be able to insert anything into the resin without drilling and gluing. If you are using a mold, I would suggest placing the end of the eye pin into your wet resin and then carefully taping the protruding portion to the plastic of the mold. The tape should stabilize the pin until the resin cures.

  7. Beadaholique Says:

    @Beadaholique I have been able to do this before, it just involves careful placement and finding a way of keeping the eye pin straight while you wait for the wet resin to harden and cure (I used tape). If you want to stick an eye pin into the resin, you need to do it while it is still wet. Once it is cured, you will not be able to insert anything into the resin without drilling and gluing.

  8. Beadaholique Says:

    @Beadaholique f you are just making one sided objects, an easier solution would be Mold Putty – SKU:TRC-60. In order to get a hole into the resin for later attachment, you are going to need to drill through the resin. Make sure you wear a mask when you do this so that you do not breath the resin dust. You might be able to actually insert an eye pin into the resin while it is curing as well.

  9. Beadaholique Says:

    @nomesy81 Yes, you can make 3-d charms with resin and molds. If you are wanting them to have a design on both sides or be a completely round shape, you will want to use a product such as Easy Cast Silicone Molding Rubber – SKU:TRC-62 (Available on Beadaholique’s website). This will allow you to make those dimensional objects.

  10. nomesy81 Says:

    hmmm what if i wanted to make 3d charms? say for instance a round ball or orb, could i use a mold i have made myself ? and if i want to attach or put a hole through it for an eye pin? i’m thinking of making 3d charms but don’t want to use polymer clay,

  11. balletcharm Says:

    what type of lighting do you use?

  12. MikeilaM Says:

    When and how do you stick an eye pin in it? Would I do it when it’s half dry or when it’s completely dry? Please reply!

  13. Beadaholique Says:

    @mawntica The name of the ink that was used in this video is “Tsukineko StazOn Acid Free Jet Black Color Solvent Ink Pad For Rubber Stamps” and that stamp is called a “Wood Peg Mounted Rubber Stamp 3/4 Inch Mini Branch Design”. You can get them on Beadaholique’s website. The links for the supplies in this video including those two are located in the video description underneath the video.

  14. mawntica Says:

    What kind of ink and stamp did you use for one of the objects mentioned in this video?

  15. Beadaholique Says:

    @Beadaholique The best method we have found is to 1.) let your resin sit for 5 minutes after mixing to remove some of the bubbles before you pour. 2.) Let your poured resin settle for about 10 minutes and then try to vibrate the bubbles out. Each artist I know who uses the vibration method has a different way of going about it. I use a back massage mat and place my resin on top of it for 10 minutes. It shakes the bubbles to the top and then they go away or can be popped with a pin.

  16. Beadaholique Says:

    @ashieboo02 Hi! You are not being rude at all, bubbles are a constant challenge with resin, especially when using molds. Traditionally if you are using resin in a bezel setting, bubbles can easily be removed with a micro-torch or butane lighter. Unfortunately you can not use these heat sources with molds (which would melt). You can try carefully removing bubbles with a sharp pin but this is quite tedious.

  17. Beadaholique Says:

    @1ckyV1cky You most definitely can place photos in resin but you need to seal them first. Check out our video “How to Prepare Images in Pendants for Resin Using Mod Podge” to learn how to do this.

  18. ashieboo02 Says:

    I see that your back lair of resin has buubbles how do we fix that not to be rude

  19. 1ckyV1cky Says:

    Can you place things such as family photos inside?

  20. TheCHiZziES Says:

    cool! cant wait to try it! :) 

  21. Beadaholique Says:

    @Beadaholique Pour your resin and then make sure that the heat source stays on for at least the first 12 curing hours. Also make sure that you are not pouring near a drafty window or some area that might suddenly drop in temperature. For the bubbles, you might also want to try letting your resin sit for 5 minutes after you mix it but before you pour it – this can reduce the bubbles.

  22. Beadaholique Says:

    @MrSugarholic Hi! I have yet to find a resin that works well in cold temperatures, however, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still use resin and have it turn out well, even if it is cold outside where you live. Try this: Decide on a room to pour your resin in where you have a heat source, such as a radiator, space heater, central heat, etc. For about an hour before you pour, warm up the room to a little over 70 degrees.

  23. MrSugarholic Says:

    I bought easycast resin, and it came out with small bubbles and a bit yellowish. I´m guessing because it´s really cold where I live, something like 13ºC . Is there any type of resin that work great even with cold weather?Thank you!

  24. kelmarie1985 Says:

    @Beadaholique Makes sense :-) Thank you so much for the quick reply!

  25. Beadaholique Says:

    @Beadaholique You also don’t want it to be hot. Avoid pouring when it is really humid, this can affect the curing too. It all sounds complicated, but once you do it a couple times, you won’t even think about it anymore. Have fun!
