 We just made these two door hanger signs with these giant jars and we used some UV resin to try to make them pop and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? A welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it? So do we. And we have a new video each week. This week we're getting into some giant jars. They were mason jars so I really saw this cute door hanger that I had Garrett design for me. We started as our mason jar in our lemon tier tray but I wanted to do its own door hanger mason jar but then I had the little idea that I wanted to make the jar look more like a glass jar. So we're going to try something new. We haven't done this before. We're going to use the new mason jar design but I'm going to add some UV resin to give it that glass jar look. Glass jar feel. And we're each going to make one with two different themes. This is going to be fireflies with a night time feel. I'm going to make it glow. And mine is going to be more of a summertime lemonade, poppy kind of light sitting on it. Yeah, refreshing. That's the reason I'm doing fireflies is really so that I can make glow in the dark resin. If you remember from Christmas he really wanted that vertical Christmas porch leaner that had Christmas lights on it and we used resin on them. He really wanted those to glow in the dark. So it had to look real. He is still looking for glow in the dark signs and I think we're going to have something to try this time. That's my goal. Glow goal. Your glow goal. Step one. We're going to gather all of our supplies. I pulled the kid out of the store. I'm using the firefly door hanger kit and I'm using our refreshing lemonade mason jar kit and then I'm using country chic paints but I don't know what colors yet some glow in the dark paint. I'm going to make those fireflies glow. Yeah. I got to make them look real with some UV resin and we'll be using our UV light from our icon art custom stencil kit. We made one of these reusable stencils back in December and we highly recommend it. You can use our code MAKEIT for 15% off your custom stencil kit. We figured this light was a little more powerful than the wimpy light that comes with the UV resin. Yeah it's just a little guy. There's a lot to cover right here. Yeah. Big area and I wanted it to harden up fast especially if you're going to try to make it look like liquid. Yeah. I'm trying to wait till you see it. I'm going to have drips in there. Drips. Drips and waves. Yes. Ice tea waves. Lemonade waves. Lemonade waves. Yes. Step two. Now we paint. It's only three tries. So we're going to paint the backers. I think I'm going to try to get fancy. Make mine look like dark sky. Right. I'm just going to share a little bit. So we do add this blue tape on our kits when we sell them because everything is cut so they will pack so that the frames help keep it tight and keeps it packed tightly for shipping. So you'll have to take this tape off and then if you've ever received a kit, we recently changed to the blue tape previous to that. We had the clear tape and a little light sanding goes a long way. So just wanted to show that kind of smooth things out a little bit in case the paint leaves any kind of texture. The other thing is we make the cut so when you lift the frame up for these mason jars, this is what you're going to put on top, the frame part, the rest of it comes out. Now you can paint yours however you want, but that is our plan for now. So I wanted to show you that. I think I might leave my top pieces in. This piece goes in the trash. My lid pieces in and painted my different colors so it looks like the fireflies are trapped in the jar. Poor little guys. I'm going to poke air holes in the top. Okay. All right, am I coming in with this, what is it, midnight sky? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. You should put a little midnight sky on there. And I am going to draw the base of some plastic. Is that your splashing liquids? Yeah, is that it? Yeah, I would say that's about right. Yeah, looks good. You're going to come in with, that is a good lemonade color, I'm going to say that as a I can already see I want a brush. Yeah, these sponges leave a lot of marks. They also take a lot of the product. Yeah. We use this little resin thing that I made, I'm going to dip my sponge brush in there and then use the Country Chic paint. Try to blend it. I'm going to blend it. I'm going to use his fancy paint techniques. Yeah. Right in my brush. Now we're going to glue it down. We're going to glue the design down to the backers. I'm going to start with my frame. Yep, so we've added all of our paint. I added some stripes to my straw, give it a little something something. Give it a little something something. Yeah. We did just have a whole conversation and debate on whether or not to glue the words down and then add the resin or add the resin and then put the words in it while it was wet. The tricky part with mine is I'm going to try and keep the resin only in the yellow and I think if I try and put the words in it's going to move it. So we've decided to glue the words then we'll add the resin. Now the other thing I was going to show you for mine is oh I want to make it a mess. Oh no. I want to keep the spacing correct. I did not paint mine in the frame, Garrett painted his in the frame so I did put it back in the frame and put the tape on it and then I'm going to pop it out and hopefully keep it on the tape and then lay it down so you can watch me do that. Set my frame over here. See now I'm going to put my my draw pieces back in I painted them. Yeah I debated I saw yours. I saw what you did there. Oh you saw that. I'm going to get in that one. That working should I try that? If you cut your tape don't leave your tape with wings. Oh okay. The sweet need to be in white. I need to bring the white in from this lemon don't I? Yeah maybe sweet and white. Call out the sweet part. The sweetness. The sweet juiciness. Alright sorry back to my drawing board. I feel like this is, do you have all the cameras going so you can see? Yeah. I feel like the all pink. Malt. Yeah it's more of a, so I really wanted to use cherry blossom but this can is out out and I don't have any right now. So I decided to use full bloom which is nice but once you put it all together it looks like something needs a pop of color here. So I think I'm going to add sweet and white. This would be easy. Easy to do. Yeah redo. Easy redo. Step two again. Back to step two. And the great thing about these paints is I can go right over it and it'll do it. That's the great thing about these little paint dolbers. We use the makeup sponges too and if you hold them just right they don't go over the edge too much either but these paint dolbers are better and you can wash them out. So we do rinse them out and reuse them. Should I use this yellow glow in the dark? Yellow paint. This ultimate glow in the dark. Oh. I'm going to go with ultimate because it says ultimate. I'm going to paint their butts. For the resin. We got the UV resin we're going to make it pop. Yeah we're going to take it to the next level. We could stop here. Yeah we could. I just add a bow, throw some clear coat on there, call it a day. Pop in the daylight too. So I'm going to add a little resin in the butts, let it spill out a little bit. You might want to add this little yellow dye to give it that daytime glow in your resin. Here's a little cup. Ooh I'll use this. I'll use that. Well I don't know if that'll mix with the resin. That's why you've got to use the special tool. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Giving it that double glow. It looks pretty, it's pretty mixed. All right I'm going this way first. Ooh look at that. Oh my goodness that looks so good. Let's get this closer. I better do it one at a time if you're going to harden it or try and harden it. You know what? You might need to do that in layers, a thinner layer and harden it in a thinner layer and harden it. True. I'll just do a thin layer. Yes, that's it. What a great color. That's a little thicker layer, I'll do this again. That's enough, that's enough. Let it harden. All right. Now the light that we stole from the other place, how long do we do this? What does it say? 90 seconds huh? You want to show them yours? Yeah. Bam. Can you see? Can you see their butts have bubbles in them? Yeah, show your side camera. I guess a side camera can see. I think I'm going to add a little more glow in the dark paint. All right, do you want one of these on? All right, so for yours we're going to try to weigh down the thing. Mm-hmm. And then freeze it real quick. Are you going to use this brush? Sure. On the four side. It's really just a ribbon for the hanger and my bow. Kim gave me a pre-made. She pre-made it. I did. I have already whipped up these bows. Whipped them up. Kim's came out a little wonky. Let me put my bow on then I'm going to show you. I got it. It looks so rough that I need to add the bow first. She can't unveil it until she's got something to take the eye away from the liquid. I put holes on the mason jar so you can just slide your ribbon through. Yep, I was just going to do that same pitch. I love that he adds this little feature to all the rounds. It makes it so much easier to hang them. You don't have to have a hanger. You don't have to mess with any hardware. Yeah, no hardware, no hot glue. You just tie this ribbon and it is right there. The knot is the hardest part. And my little tip. I think I already mentioned this before in one of our other videos, but I found someone who was using these zip ties as the bow ties instead of ribbon wire and game changer, game changer. So if you're not using zip ties, I highly recommend it. Yeah, someone mentioned in the comments before that the zip ties changed their life and they were sorry they didn't mention it to us before. They really did. What a game changer they have been. It's so much easier. That's why you lay it down flat. I don't know. Here, no, you're making it harder for yourself. Yeah, pull it on through. Lay it down, put your ribbon on. You bow on. Gotta get my bow on. Which side? This side? Yeah. This side? Let me see. Let me see it on this side. Let me see this side. Lock down tight. You ready for your unveil? Yep. Should I unveil mine first? Yes. Bay. Firefly kind of day. Night, I guess. And then here's mine, which is cute. I love the whole concept with the straw and everything. The idea for the resin. I mean, it hardened. It's doing what it's supposed to, but I don't know if the table wasn't level enough and it slid. I know that coming back and adding more resin after it hardened a little bit was not good because you can see where we squeezed in a little extra here and there to fill in some spaces. Do we have any resin experts in the house? It looks like it's separated from the paint in some places. Do you know why? Can you tell us? Should we have sealed it with some kind of clear acrylic first or something? That's a good idea. You guys, let us know. It looks a little wonky. It looks cool. And I see, I like the design. Concept. And I see the concept. Execution is where we lost it. Have you messed with UV resin? Have you made any signs with UV resin or jewelry? Do you need to put down thinner layers? I don't know. I don't know why it didn't glow. And I don't know why yours came out all wonky. If you guys have any UV resin tips or tricks, leave them down below because I definitely want to do more with this stuff. It's cool that it hardens so fast. I will say if you do purchase these mason jar kits, so there's two of them. There's just the home sweet home kit will be there and then the lemonade kit. This is a bit extreme. So we're working on what we can do for shipping with the straw. The lemon does come separate. And so I've just glued it on. It's back. You'll see that it's glued on. And we're going to do something similar for the straw so that it can come and ship in a box and not be sticking out that far. So we're trying to keep it contained in the size of this so that shipping is cheaper. I think we're about out of time. So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week where we'll do it, build it, and make it again. And I'll balance mine because I don't know if yours will make it through the balance. It's on there. It's hard. Ooh. It made balance rushing the straw. Oh, no. Just a little bit. Here we go. I hope you enjoyed it because it's about to break it. Not even joking. Oh, you almost broke it with your... It hurt my finger.
