Hi This is Becky Nunn with Nunn Design
guest designer with Beadaholique.com. I'd like to show you how you can make
fun pieces using imagery inside
the various openings of findings from Nunn Design
What you'll need for this video
is some Nunn Design glue, some two-part resin
I've already premixed mine. It's ready to go. A Nunn Design collage sheet. This one
so happens to be bathing beauties
some toothpicks or some stir sticks
some good heavy-duty
packing tape, scissors and if you have it
a punch. The first step you want to do
is punch out your image that you would like to use
so I think I would like to use these two women right down here
These bathing beauties. Then using my hole punch
I insert my image and punch it out
and now I have an image that will fit
very nicely inside of that. If I didn't have a punch
I could of easily just cut it out but on this particular one I just had
something that would work
two-part resin will
make a piece like this that's porous
translucent if I don't first protect it and so I'm going to use the Nunn Design glue
to go over the top of the image and this will allow
the image to stay nice and vibrant as we see it here
so with a paintbrush I just supply
a small amount of the Nunn Design glue
over the top and it'll be milky white at first
but then it will dry translucent
Once I have my
image with the glue on it, I just go ahead
and apply it to the back
surface area of where it would fit
Next I'm going to cut off
a small piece my very thick masking tape
and I'm going to apply it right
over to the surface of my area
and this will allow me to have a nice barrier
so that the resin won't seep out through my
sides there and now I have
my piece ready for us to apply the resin on
I have a piece that I've already done
and while this piece is drying I can show you what the next step is
I've already premixed my two-part resin
and we have some great videos here at Beadaholique.com showing how to do that.
I put on my gloves
and I'm just gonna go ahead and get a small amount of the resin
and just drizzle it onto the
area that I want to have covered. You can use a stir stick
or toothpick, whatever you feel comfortable with. I think I'll pick it up
Bring it closer so I can just drizzle it
right onto the piece. This resin
has sat for a little while so it's a lot thicker than
typically I'd be working with but it's still
great to use for this purpose
Then you let that cure and it won't take that long because this is such a
small
surface amount. I might want to get my toothpick and move that
over to the sides a little farther but once this is cured
you wanna flip it over the back and take off the tape
and then you might wanna put another hit of the Nunn Design glue
on the back of that side once it's cured. This great piece
was done by innovation team member Stephanie Gard Buss
and you can see that the piece is translucent
that is great looking itself and you can create that by not putting
the Nunn Design glue over the image and keeping it
nice and bright like that but this is a whole look at itself that's great
This is Becky Nunn for Beadaholique.com and I hope you enjoy learning how to
use open findings and apply resin.
