I love that mold base, it's a definite idea for down the line. The cuticle trimmer is a must have tool in my arsenal and I have picked them up from Dollar Tree by the bunch, as I can never find the one I had set aside to use when I really need it, so I just grab one from the tool holder I have hanging on the side of my carts. That and dotter tools are also a must to have, next on my list, silicone brushes. Thank you so much for this tutorial and showing how easy it can be to do large molds.
Thank you so much, I didn't know they sold the trimmers at dollar tree thats awesome. I'll have to check for some next time I go there. I had a 3 pack and now I can only find one 😅 I have no idea where the other 2 disappeared to. Lol. Thanks for watching 🤗
nice! I live vicariously through you! heheheh still have not tried it.. but eventually i will... can't wait to see the cast piece...❤🌹
Thanks Rose 🌸🤗 Definitely bust it out and give it a go. What brand do you have I forgot? If it's mold star brand that one you have to mix up part A and B inside their containers before measuring and mixing them together. 🤗
Awwww! That's gorgeous! Look forward to seeing you use it!
Thank you 🤗🌸 hoping to finish it this weekend and have that video posted next week 🤗😁
Thanks very much 😊
Thanks for watching 🌹❤️😊
Thank you, Tish. I look forward to watching you mold the flower
Thank you 🤗🌸 hoping to finish it this weekend and have that video posted next week. Thanks for watching 🌸🤗🌌💙

Looks easier than I’ve been doing, I need to find mold housings though
My friend can make them for you. Message her on etsy, tell her Tish sent you and what sizes you need. She does have some in her shop already. But if you need a custom size Message her. She can make them custom for you. Her name is Tracie

Thank you. ❤️
Thanks for watching 🤗🤗🤗🌸🌸
Awesome thank you
Thank you 🤗
Fun stuff
Thank you 🤗🤗🌸🌸💙💙💙
Very nice, Tish! I have some larger things I want to make molds of as well. Sorry the housing broke so easily. I'm planning to improvise on mine. I'll be waiting to see what your resin flower looks like!❤️
Thanks Pam 🌸🤗 thankfully that piece broke off kind of high up and I can still use it. I should have started from the bottom. Lesson learned for next time, thanks for watching 🤗
I can't wait to see the pour you do in this. I have some silicone rubber but I can't decide what mold to make.
Thank you, I'm hoping to finish the flower this weekend and have the video posted next week. I love making molds, it's so much fun. You can mold almost anything, even resin casts you have made previously. Thanks for watching 🤗
Great job...i like it when people show any mistakes or accidents made so i dot do that. I cant see..not to do it. Ty.
Thank you 🤗 I'm the same way, I'd like to see what not to do so I don't do it 😁 thanks for watching 🤗
Interesting!
Thank you 🌸🌸🌸🤗🤗
That's really amazing and a great job in making a big mold .It takes a lot of silicone in making speaking from my experience lol I made once and it hurts my heart the amount of silicone used as its expensive. 😃♥️❤
Thank you 🤗🌸 most definitely, it can be nerve wracking on the big molds. Thankfully this one turned out OK. The silicone rubber is so expensive 😅 it would be such a bummer if it didn't turn out. thanks for watching 🤗
I saw where you can chop up used silicon and use it as filling when making other moulds.
@@MsHeebiejeebies this is what I do, and believe me, I have hell of a lot of chopped up silicone! Thankfully it works amazingly well.
I have never done this and not sure I will but it was very interesting. How do you determine how much silicone to use?
Thank you for watching 🤗 there are silicone rubber calculators on smooth-on's website. I like to use that to figure out how much silicone rubber to use.
I want to do my oun silicon molds!!!
They're so fun and easy to make. You can make molds of acrylic items, ceramic items, resin items & more 💟 thanks for watching
Pine wood stir sticks, new ones, can absorb liquids and they will release billions of very small bubbles.
I always seal my sticks with a few dips of acrylic medium or other type of paint that can soak into the wood.
That will prevent some bubbles.
That's a good idea. This silicone rubber has excellent bubble release so I didn't worry about it.
The larger the bubbles are, the harder they push upwards to the surface and the smallest ones are bogged down by the thickness of the material. It's the ones you can't see that will show up as tiny imperfections in your molds.@@naptimecreations
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been wanting to try this. What steps did you need to go through to get permission to use the flower to create copies?
Thanks for watching, I'm not selling the molds. I purchased the flower and did a DIY project with it. You don't need special permission for that. If you buy the product you are free to do what you want with it.
Now starbucks cups for example, people buy those, add epoxy. Change the logo to a different color. Add to the original logo etc. That's things you need special permission for.
This flower shape doesn't have a copyright like a logo does. Hope that made sense.
@@naptimecreations Thank you!
@@brendap5223 no problem 🌸🌸🤗🤗🤗
Have you ever used playdouh to stop the leakage of the silicone I've seeing ppl doing that & I was just seeing & if so how do you like it.
Thanks for watching, no I haven't tried that before. Hot glue works. I've tried it before and it works great.
Okay I will try that then I will be doing this for the first time & so far your video tutorials are really good & you go at a pace I can listen & learn to lol. Thank You for responding.
Are there a lot bubbles in the silicone when it cures? I need a a clear silicone that's doesn't get a lot of bubbles because the silicone will actually be what I'm casting in another mold.
This one doesn't have a ton but if you need one with very few bubbles I would do the mold star 15 slow silicone rubber. It has hardly any bubbles and it degasses really nicely on its own without a vacuum chamber.
I'm trying to make a casting of a good size pumpkin any advice
Make sure you go around the outside rim of your mold housing with hot glue or 100% silicone caulk so no silicone will leak out.
If you don't mix enough silicone rubber you can always add more by pouring on top of the previous layer the next day.
How fun is this! Can you tell me what the flower is made of?
Never mind lol I heard ceramic
Thanks for watching 🤗
Yep it's ceramic 🌸😁
I'm trying to cast an object 18" x 30" out of rigid pu foam. I've never seen anyone making silicone molds that big so I'm wondering would wood be possible? It's a shower so the skin surface doesn't have to be so smooth just smooth.
Yes you can do that but you will most likely need to cut down the side of the finished mold with an exacto blade to get the master out.
Then when you pour the mold, wrap multiple rubber bands around the mold so the resin doesn't flow out when it's curing.
I asked, after watching this, how to make a mold for something that isn't flat on the bottom. You linked your 3D mold creating video which I watched, but the snowflake is still flat on the bottom. I'm trying to make a mold for walking cane heads. Do you have any suggestions on how to make a 3D mold, something not flat on the bottom. Thank you!
I don't
Hello!
I’m looking for the housing to try making mold but couldn’t find it? Can u help?
Thanks for watching. This housing was custom made from blucreate molds. If you send her a message on her website she can make you one. Here's the link to the contact us section of her website

They there. I'm trying to find or figure put how to make a taper candle mold to make resin candles.
Do you have any advise how to donthis?
That sounds really cool. How long is the candle you are wanting to mold? It might be tricky to get the candle out if it's a really tall candle.
@@naptimecreations its a 10" candle. I watched a girl don't with wax and it pulled right out. I have an acrylic candle I can use for the mold. But trying to figure out what to use for a housing. Maybe pvc pipe?
@@atomicredhead awesome, that sounds like a cool project. I'm not sure if silicone bonds to pvc I've never tried it but you can use craft plastic. They sell 12x12 sheets on Amazon. You can easily fold / roll it into a tube shape around the candle. Then hot glue down the seam to keep it closed.
@@naptimecreations thank you so much! I didn't even know that was a thing. I just wish I could find one already made.
@@atomicredhead my friend can make you a custom one. You just have to email her and say you would like to inquire about a custom mold housing and tell her the dimensions you need. They're reusable over and over. Here's her contact us spot on her website. Her name is Carrie @blucreatemolds

What if you’re making a mold for something that isn’t flat on the bottom?
I explain in this video how to mold 3d items
th-cam.com/video/GifZvc2E7b0/w-d-xo.html
I bought some silicone molds online and they really smell like chemicals? Do you know how to make them stop smelling ? We washed them many times.
They shouldn't smell but if you let them off gas outside then the smell will go away eventually.
You can leave them outside in a box
Could you show how to make a mould for a phone case please
I can try to find one that would work. Since they're 3D they would be hard to mold.
Thanks for your quick reply
Yes I think it is too complicated. I have bought three clear cases so think that will do me lol
@@MsHeebiejeebies no problem 😊
HI Tish, WOW WOW WOW One very big & Beautiful looking mold 🤗👍 Tish I really Do admire you for creating such a big mold I cannot wait to see you do a resin pour Because it will be so Spectacular Lin 🤗👍❤️✨ …………… Tish, Please can you answer a Query for me my son Bought me a lovely test tube 🧪 Silicone vase mold to use with resin please can you Tell me how can I make a mold out of the test tube if that is possible many thanks Lin 👍❤️
Thank you so much Lin, I'm finishing up the resin pour this weekend 😁🌸🤗 is the vase made of silicone? If so you can't mold it because silicone bonds to silicone 😁
Hi Tish, The test tube part is plastic & hollow so I would need the hollow part to stay hollow but I have Absolutely no idea how to do it 🤔 Lin 👍❤️
@@lindaeastment4542 that would be tricky, you might not be able to mold it because the silicone won't be able to get into the cavity that's inside. It wouldn't be able to flow in.
HI Tish, Thank you so so much for answering my Query you don’t know how much That meant to me ❤️ I thought exactly the same as you but as you are a resin expert I just thought I would ask anyway I will just keep looking ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO SO MUCH TRISH, FOR YOUR VERY KIND HELP LIN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Linda Eastment
The only thing I can think of to use for an insert would be to make a silicone mold of the INSIDE of a somewhat smaller test tube, then insert that into the larger, hollow silicone test tube mold you have already made, (from its exterior) then pour your resin between the 2 molds. Maybe tape a toothpick across the tops of the two pieces to keep insert straight?
The resin test tube might be really thin-walled, or have a lot of bubbles in it, so maybe spray some 99% isopropyl alcohol (got mine on Amazon) in and on both tube molds before slowly pouring a very thin resin. I sure hope that made sense?
What you do personally is IMPORTANT
My project turned out bad, because I did not use your method of pouring the mixture into another cup, the base was white liquid.
Next time I will pour into another cup for sure 100%
Ooohhh yes, sorry that happened. It's hard when both parts are white because undermixing can happen very easily. It's hard to tell if it's mixed all the way.
Definitely try double mixing like I did. I'm sure it will work perfectly next time. Thanks for watching.
Plz can you tell me these teo liquid name???
Silicone rubber
what is he flower you molded made of?
It's ceramic, thanks for watching 🌸🌸🌸

@@naptimecreations Thanks for the tip.
Will you be selling this mold in your Etsy shop???
Unfortunately no, I just made it for personal use. I dont have enough silicone rubber to make more but my friend is a professional mold maker and I am going to ask her if she wants to start offering the mold for sale. I have had a lot of people who want to buy it. So I think it would be great if she says yes 😁
where is your mic?
I'm not sure
please use a better mic
No thanks
Beautiful flower and mold.
