Thank you so much!

Of course! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!!

Yes! Go for it!

@@damfancycreations 🙃😊

Oh for sure! One thing I learned early on was not to compare my prices to others. There will ALWAYS be people that under charge but there will also be people that know what quality items cost and won’t bat an eye to pay more for a great item!

Also, some just do it for fun and know there are people out there that has to buy the cheaper because they can’t afford the higher even though they know it’s worth it!

@@Mustangs4321If someone’s making them for fun then honestly they should be giving them away not selling them. (Depending on the experience of that person and quality of their work,) and if that person is experienced, then chances are their NOT going to price them low (just because their doing it for fun,) because making them for fun or not, you need experience and knowledge to make these and both of those things equals out to A LOT of time, ....and time,..... equals money. The entire thing itself costs a lot of money to do and you have to be able to make money that’s worth it in order to continue making them because if not it’s a waste of time because of how consuming it it. At first sure they are fun to make but making them for fun and trying to make a successful living off of the work you enjoy and also devote the majority of your life to are completely different.

@@jestcy4205 I get what your saying, where I live in Idaho they are great quality, and they sell for $8. People where I’m from are amazing crafters and we have huge, and I mean huge craft fair shows. I get my crafting supplies, gifts, etc at all for a reasonable price. I’m also a crafter, so I needed no explanation of time, cost, quality. I agree with you 100%, but we make great money here at our shows without having to raise the cost to where we get half the people buying because they can’t afford to now. Thank you for replying though!

@@Mustangs4321 hey Tammy, ok now which are we talking about here selling for $8 epoxy pens or epoxy tumblers? OR sublimated tumblers? The pens pretty much that’s a standard price which I myself have sold mine at $9 before but because of how much work and time goes into making them the thought had crossed my mind that they should be sold higher. However I’ve not seen anyone selling higher until @ DAM Fancy Creations which was refreshing to see someone jump out of the normal price ranged for once because of nobody ever doing it that often. That’s including myself lol My comment regarding people pricing lower I was referencing more so on the epoxy tumblers. The pens even at the highest price are still in my opinion easier for people to swallow paying as opposed to a tumbler priced at $45 because your right they are expensive but the thing is when it’s taking you 3 days to design, glitter, seal, epoxy, repeat, that’s only $15 a DAY, not an hour, and unfortunately customers have no idea how long it really takes to make these to justify them spending $45when realistically they should be more. I’ve never seen an epoxy tumbler priced that low so I can’t imagine your talking about them. The sublimation tumblers are a little time but nowhere near the work for epoxy. I’ve seen them as low as $15 which again I believe is to low because the cost of your tumbler alone most times is about half that. On the craft fairs I agree for places like that is fine to price low. Those are places kinda known for getting good deals and it allows others who normally wouldn’t be able to purchase them purchase. I’m speaking on sellers online who either 1, aren’t experienced and are selling over priced crap,, or 2, are 15 year olds who are making quality items but are selling them way to cheap because the value of a dollar isn’t the same to them as it is for adults. A $20 is a lot of money to a kid especially when they have no other obligations. Lol The craft fairs , or any other private ways people hustle their items isn’t my business because it doesn’t have the chance to concern me (directly.) When it’s online it has the ability to affect the future of everyone sale making all the other items look as if their over priced when in actuality they should be costing more. But I guess this will always be an issue though because what’s low to someone might not be for someone else, and the same for what’s high. Your craft fairs sound awesome! I’ve never gone to one, always wanted to but never have because of how dangerous it would be for me! 😂

Glad it helped!

I have seen people use water but I haven’t tried that yet!

Awesome! I am sitting here making some right now haha!

@@damfancycreations I shared your video to my FB Feed but haven't announced I'll be making them. I need to get out to buy the rest of the stuff. They may be just for me or stocking stuffers. Waterslide looks kind of easy. Do you have the supplies listed in video? I didn't look yet. Also have you changed any products since you made this video? The supplies I ordered on early prime day yesterday arrive tomorrow. I figured I could take apart the pens to get started

I love CCDIYs UV resin/m. It is the best I have tried, cured in 60 seconds for most items.

Get to it, girl!

@@damfancycreations when do you wash with soap and water. Can you resin after vinyl?

Haha thanks 😄

Thanks! I have a old container i use to pour a little acetone in and I sit my brushes in there- then smoosh them around then clean really well with dawn. :)

You don’t need to put them on a turner. I just set the stand outside in the sun and they are cured in 5 mins tops.

I do. :)

@@damfancycreations thanks I’m definitely going to try that ,and was happy to know I did need a Light for the resin 😘

So do you do this outside? Or do you spray it in your house? Honest question here lol

Good for you! Know what your time is worth!

I just spray the clear spray paint all over the pen and sprinkle the glitter. I spray outside (which it why you couldn’t see it in frame) 😃

@@damfancycreations Oh okay, it was so quick that it seemed like U stayed right by the table.

@@pennywilson7717 haha I was right by my back door… makes for a quick ‘open and spray’ 😂

The uv resin I use is by CCDIY- it is linked in the description. No, UV resins are not compliant with FDA standards. I would recommend working in a well ventilated area when using UV resin but others brand may have different requirements. :)

I am just using the straws that come with the tumbler I purchase. Are you asking about length? Probably 5-7” are the ones I use.

Haha! One good coat should stay tacky for quite awhile! As long as it’s gloss and not matte!

I have a cameo. :)

These unscrew completely, you have a smooth surface to work with (no threads anywhere) and you can buy refills easily for this brand. :)

What kind of UV resin do u use?

I typically use 60/80 grit. It is pretty rough!

You will definitely need another layer of resin after you add vinyl. :)

@@damfancycreations thank you so much for answering my question I appreciate you

With anything, I try to wait until the ‘spray paint’ smell is gone. Typically overnight.

I put as many layers as I need until the pen is smooth.

I have a glass jar I use for my craft- I pour some acetone in and leave my brush for a few minutes until the UV resin is off and then wash well with dawn. :)

Sometimes some of my color get clogged in the nozzle- I typically save my GOOD nozzles and use them when others get clogged 😄

@@damfancycreations that’s funny I do the same. lol Hobby Lobby actually sells a little pack of like 6 nozzles. (The only thing with them is that they’re different size spray (coverage amounts) which doesn’t bother me any because I wouldn’t use them for any detail work. Like $3 bucks for 6 brand new nozzles in the paint Dept. Wow your colors clog that’s so bizarre because mine really rarely do. Only white I have trouble with and it’s every single spray can. I can use it maybe 3-4 times if that. Really frustrating. Your pencil pen is adorable btw. I love the depth you did on it. It’s so realistic looking where the metal part connects the eraser. Love it. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Haha 🥳🥳🥳

I sand really well so that the pens are very very smooth and then apply a final layer of the resin. If it appears dull then your resin may not have cured all the way. I have tried different UV Resins and ccdiy has been the best I have tried and had the shiniest finish. :)

@@damfancycreations when do you sand after there dry before the soap and vinyl?

@@jennczochara9844 yep!

Just sun light! The UV rays are what cure the resin. :)

With a paper towel soaked in acetone. :)

@@damfancycreations thank you

Leopard spots before the resin.

I personally think any UV resin has an odor when it is curing, which is why I like to place them in the sun and walk away- I don’t have to smell it. The CCDIY UV resin does have a lower odor than the ones I have used from Amazon.

The pens are ‘paper mate ink joy gel’. You can buy them off Amazon. I use UV resin. :)

Around 5 minutes, and rotate them. It will depend on your UV resin and how sunny it is 🥰

I don’t ever set a limit, I just apply how ever many (thin) layers I meed until the pens are smooth. :)

These are straws that come with my cup order. Either from Hogg or Puzzle Tumblers.

Links to files is in the description 🥰

She stated that she made hers 1.5 x 4.5

Just regular stickers? You should be able to- I would test them first to make sure they won’t bleed.

@@damfancycreations Thank you!

It’s linked in the description :) (CCDIY)

Yes, UV resin is cured by a uv light or the sun!

Y que tiempo le ponen , gracias por responder

@@dulismorales852 depends- most uv resins- about 3-5 minutes

I only make pens when it is sunny out. You can use a UV light but I prefer to use natural light bc it cures so much quicker.

I sell mine for $15. :)

The tip of the pen? I haven’t ever seen the tip done before- not sure how it could be done but you could definitely try it!

I mainly sanded to smooth everything out. I have since moved on to the stainless pens. I also make acrylic blanks and have had the sheet of glitter/resin pop off when I didn’t sand. Too slick to form a permanent bond- that is just my experience though :) I have started used ‘Let’s Resin’ UV resin and love it, no odor and cures so quick!
