7 Resin and Clay Videos to Jumpstart Your Creativity!
Learn how to use Nunn Design 2-Part Resin and Crystal Clay in these 7 inspiring how-to videos and tutorials.
Late last year my family and I flew down to the L.A. area to film with the team at Beadaholique. This series of how-to videos was the result of a long day of filming.
Since the filming, I have added the written step-out tutorials to the Nunn Design Blog to accompany each of the videos. To see the overview of most of these videos, you can also watch the Facebook Live that we filmed.

Video Tutorial 4:
How to Colorize Resin and Use it in an Open Frame Bezel with a Transfer Sheet
Transfer sheets are printed images that have a film front with a paper backing. When you drop the film into a dish of warm water, it separates the film front from the paper backing, making it translucent. Beside the awesome look, you don’t have the typical issues that you have with using a paper collage sheet. You don’t need to seal the image to prevent the inks from running or the edges discoloring once you pour on the resin, something you need to do with collage sheets. I am confident that you will have great results with this technique.
