20 Jan 00:35

This is so cute. Do the gummis have to be hard or is it okay if they're kind of soft?

24 Mar 22:56

31 Mar 01:41

yea the PVA kinda worked...but wen i was in skool...i was soooooo tempted 2 eat em!!!

08 May 19:05

where do u get varnish?

15 Jun 18:13

Wow - that looks fun! I have resin but I think the container sealed itself shut.... haha it's a bummer. This summer, though, I'm hoping to get some more and work on some resin projects!

27 Jun 23:16

thats amazing, but only one question, the gummy bears will be sticky??

09 Sep 23:30

hah. I gotta make these they will go great with the dominoe bracelets

18 Sep 06:09

Haha. I just ate some gummy bears today. :D This looks like a really cool project sometime. What kind of resin would you use. I'm not too familiar with them.

18 Sep 18:58

Will FamoWood Glaze Coat work for this?

28 Sep 02:15

this is so cool! I just made a few with clear nail polish!!!

23 Oct 18:28

I'm so making one of these!

08 Nov 10:48

Shiv and me tried this but with some jelly fruits, we used vanish but after the first coat of vanish they were still very soft so we used another coat and they looked like they had been dipped in sugar, what happened?

08 Nov 13:01

They weren't sugar coated, they just looked like that coz all the varnish was peeling off. We used a craft varnish called gloss varnish, should we try a hardware store type?

11 Nov 06:21

What's resin and where do you get it?

29 Nov 02:15

This is such a cute idea!!!
I was wondering if you could use nail polish to "varnish" the candy since I don't have varnish but I have an awful lot of clear nail polish though...

29 Nov 03:22

what kinda varnish is that?

Thats a cool idea

21 Dec 09:43

Adorable! I'm definitely going to make one. Gives me so many ideas for other types of candy jewelry. Too much fun!

Shivi - Resin is an epoxy (plastic) liquid that when mixed with a hardener turns into a clear (unless dye is added) plastic coating.

You can buy resin at most craft stores. Just read on the label to see if it's good for such craft projects, though most should work fine for this application.

Note: Be sure to read resin instructions carefully! Resin doesn't set up unless you measure and mix correctly. A cool tip to get bubbles out of resin: breathe on it. (Don't blow, just breathe). The carbon dioxide released when breathing causes the air bubbles to rise to the surface of the resin and disappear. But be careful! Resin is highly caustic, so when breathing out onto the resin, don't breathe back in without turning away first! Also be sure to use in a well ventilated area, and if you use it a lot you need to get a respirator and take other safety precautions.

Enjoy!

A note on resin:
I particularly like the Envirotex Lite resin, which can be found at a lot of craft stores. Here is their website, which contains a lot of different products for different applications:

See the section "polymer coatings."
They also have a "where to buy" section.
