If you love to collect Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Lake Huron beach stones and want a nifty way to display them, this project is for you! We travel all year and collect beach treasures wherever we go. I created these stone spheres in many sizes to display my finds in fun and unique ways. They really bring out the beauty and color in everything from quartz to granite to fossils. This is an easy, cheap craft with no experience necessary. I’ll walk you through all the steps. Below are links to the supplies I used, but you can find many options. Please give this video a like and share it with your crafty friends. I’d love to see photos of your finished projects - you can find us on social media or email us at outerlimitsopenroad@gmail.com.
Needed supplies: Stones, 2-part resin for casting, disposable cups and stirring sticks, silicone molds, alcohol in a spritzer bottle, flat silicone dish mat.

Welcome to Outer Limits Open Road. We are Bill and Kelli. We downsized from a big house to a 470 square foot condo. Not satisfied, we jettisoned even more stuff and took off in a 100 square foot tiny truck camper named Lucidity Base. We’re off to see the country in our RV, one quirky roadside attraction at a time. There will be treats. Please join us by subscribing to follow our journey.

That is basically my life other than you find out quickly you can't keep many rocks in your camper because they're heavy. So I catch and release!

Wow these are cool. I an avid rock hound for 60 years and have several small pieces of petrified wood .Could I place a eye hook or something so I could suspend them from a piece of driftwood ? I have thousands of agates etc.. Thanks so much for this❤

Thanks so much for this video. Have been collecting river rocks now polishing them but have always loved the idea of resin. Do you prepolish rocks before casting to get the color or just if you want a different shape?
@OuterLimitsOpenRoad
@OuterLimitsOpenRoad 2 жыл бұрын
My pleasure. I don't polish mine if they are going into resin. But nothing precludes you from doing that. I do hand polish my favorite rocks to enjoy and save the ones I don't polish for these balls. They will look however they did under the water.

I have my last "catch" in my car. I need to clean them off. Now before I get to excited, are resin and epoxy resin the same thing? I heard you said both, but not sure. SO... I'm highly allergic to "epoxy resin". That's how it's on the forms. Do you know if there are any alternative. I could wear gloves, but I'm really sensitive to smells. Thanks so much. I'm studying this on all my pages! I've lived on both sides of the Mitten. Rocks are a way of life, here. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Epoxy Resin is what I'm using. I don't perceive any smells, but I know that is different from odors. I'm using the words interchangeably but it's epoxy resin like Art Resin. I used Envirotex Lite a lot for other art but it doesn't hold up to thick pours, so you have to make sure it works for casting in molds. What about an N95 mask? I always get it on my hands and use alcohol and soap to remove it. But since you're allergic, gloves for sure and disposable cups. I don't know of anything as a replacement. When you wash your finds, make sure you give them time to dry well so you don't trap moisture inside. I hope you can try this, but safety first.

I tend to underestimate and whip up a little more if needed. There is time to do that. If it were straight forward you could fill with water and measure but since it's full of rocks obviously you don't need as much. I'm basically guessing and making more so I don't waste.
