I made a squishy AMONG US Figure | DIY Silicone Figure

- Using a sculpt from my son, I made a squishy figure. I'm usually not up to snuff on popular games, but this style really does appeal to me, as I explain in the video. And it gave me the chance to show a couple of really handy mold tricks.

THINGS I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO:
- Instead of cutting pour spouts and vents into the silicone, you can form them during the clay bed part. In the past I have used golf tees, dowels, Sharpie marker caps, toothpicks (for air vents), Lego pieces, and more. You simply embed these halfway into the clay the same as you would the figure, and leave them in while pouring the silicone. Once removed, you will have CLEAN-looking pour spouts and vents.
- When pouring up thick viscosity materials like silicone, I prefer to pour into two open mold halves, then quickly slap them together, because forcing the silicone down through a narrow pour spout takes longer and is subject to more bubbles. Pouring the halves open like this allows you to run a toothpick or similar around the molds, eliminating surface bubbles.

My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
When I first played the game I looked at my lady & said, "These lil guys kinda remind me of TheCrafsman's Free Range Chicken." And she was like, "Now I'm just gonna think they're chickens under those space suits." Also CrafSon knocked it out of the park on the sculpt. The proportions and profile are spot on.
crafsman you dont need that much pigment the colors are extremly concentrated but other than that i love your videos keep steadycraftin!
You have no idea how happy my whole family is on the popularity of your Channel TheCrafsMan.
I've been here a while and it was a super beautiful feeling when my kids came up to me and said "Daddy, have you heard of TheCrafsMan?”
Recently my kids have showed me Among Us and they ALL love Squishies so it was yet another beautiful moment to watch this video together.
Thank you for being you TheCrafsMan!
BRUH
Can I just tell you how amazing your voice is?
Crafsson has your eyes.
yeah crafsman only had one set
😂😂😂
I think he looks more like his mother
But he has his mother's nose
I want my eyes back
Tell crafson that he got the sculpt absolutely perfect! The side profile looks exactly like the animated counterpart!
Thank you for that! He appreciated hearing this! :D
@@TheCrafsMan no te entiendí :(
@Marijo yepez Dicen que:
Díganle a crafson que logró la escultura a la perfección.
El perfil luce igual que su parte animada.
¡Gracias por eso!
Él apreció haber escuchado esto :D
@@ARIANA-eh2qt gracias por traducirlo

Is this crafsson's first appearance?
I believe so!
He has snuck his little hands into previous videos, and has facilitated with sculpts, but this is the first where he is straight-up appearing in it.
@@TheCrafsMan cutest thing alive
@@TheCrafsMan All we need now is Crafsmamma. I love her low key sass when she's tellin' ya', Crafsman.
That sculpt was great!
Crafson is better that baby yoda prove me wrong
I don't usually upvote a comment but I had to.

Saving that in case I ever get a wife lol..
A line like that might just get you a wife. Craftsman might have a sideline giving dating advice.
As a woman I would say no. . . do not use that line on me.
@@nicholleholmgren6280 Well, it would be a compliment to my future, (and most likely imaginary) wife, shouldn't be something to say to a woman you don't know, that would be weird...
As a wife I can say, if my husband said that to me I'd laugh like crazy 🤣🤣🤣 but I'm goofy
As a pick up line? Horrible.
As a line to tell someone you’re already with? Adorable.
I told my wife what you said to tell her, and she said “Thank you...? That...sort of made my day?” 👍
That's what I'm talkin about, David! :D
Subtitles be like:
"I am your host...
...the crab man."
Crab man sus
@@foragingadventures Hey Crabman!
I just cracked up
Just like in Dark Souls, IS CRAB TIME
Hey sir, my family and I adore your content. You are a safe place here on the internet and we are so grateful for what you do. Keep being amazing. God bless, and love you loads
Hearing this does my heart good. Thank you so much! I hope you and your family continue to enjoy!
Best content I've seen on the internet in a really long time.
Crafsman: "One day, all this gon' to be yours to take over."
Crafson: *sus*
The look of betrayal when crafson shook his head NO b4 he said yes. 🤣😂 had me rolling
I actually had to pause the video to give myself time to react to Crafson. How... {*Crafsman head shake*} adorable.
It's like, one quarter of an Indian head bob lol.
My daughter is in love with your videos. She's 3 months old and has torticollis, so part of her daily routine right now is stretching her neck muscles and encouraging her to turn her head to her non favored side. Her Dr recommended a small amount of screen time while we're doing these stretches to help her stay calm, and your videos are the only ones so far that keep her interested and relaxed! Of course, your videos teach me a lot too and I'm really excited to try making my own squishy figures soon. Thank you TheCrafsMan!
Cutting up old molds and putting them into curing silicone = BRILLIANT!
Oh gosh I just got to the part where you mentioned me and had a small happy heart attack 😭😂 Spaaaaace!
This is such a fun game.
OH MY GOODNESS HELLO CRAFSSON
Your artwork is really amazing!! Great job! :)
moniemonie48 Thanks! ☺️🥰
@@StudioHannah Your channel is amazing, too! New subscriber!
Your artwork is awesome thanks for sharing it with the channel!
Hannah, I'm so glad you liked that! Thank you for sharing your art!
Among us crewmates and recycled silicone? You been spying on my stuff again, Crafsman?!
Just kidding. This little guy turned out so great! Crafson has some skills!
Gear Grinder! :D :D :D :D :D Mannn, when I saw your Instagram posts last week with the little Among Us guy, I said "Ohhhhh man..." It reminded me of when I did the Hydro-Dipping episode that came out right after someone else's.
But I'm so slowpoke that I'd been working on it for a week. This video had more preparation than my average ones due to the addition of my lil buddy. I'm for real encouraging him to take over. :D
@@TheCrafsMan I've got another video that I probably could have had done sooner too, but it's no race. I'm just flattered as heck that you even noticed my stuff. You've been a huge inspiration for getting me to work harder and force myself to sharpen my skills.
And it would be super awesome to see what crafson can do!
This video popped up in my recommended and the vibes this guy is giving is a sweet old grandpa who wants nothing but the best for his grandchildren.
Honestly, I need a 1-hour video of him just talking.
Agreed
As an established Gunpla builder and an aspiring resin conversion kit maker, I beg of yall, please forgive me for just now discovering this channel....I love everything about this and you inspire me to do great things!
I dunno crafsman, crafson kinda sus. I saw him discombobulate your star wars action figures and vent to Fred's™ Dollar Store.
HAHAHA! We enjoyed this comment! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Hope you and your family have a blessed sunday crafsman. Keep steady craftin!
Did he use his coupons and get a lightsaber?
@@HollywoodColt Do what? Coupons belong to Dark Vader.
I was thinking maybe he could show us how to do multiple colors in a single mold... then at 13:30 he does exactly that.
Glad to read this! :D There are other techniques as well, apart from mica powders. You can even pour a solid color into a separate cavity (like the visor spot), let cure, and pour the rest of the figure. The parts will stick together very well and be a solid unit. (You can do this with resin, but try to time it where the first part isn't 100% cured, so you get that thermal fusion going.) :)
@@TheCrafsMan does the mica stay in place if you pour from the"feet" rather than each side and squash it together? Or will the mica migrate?
@@tonilarimore6079 It actually sticks to the mold fairly well. If there are any caked up parts, that may sorta fall down if the mold is bumped a lot during the pour. But in my experience, an even layer clings to the silicone well.
The crafsman truly is the bob ross of our generation. His voice makes me feel safe and happy. Thank you, the crafsman
THANK YOU! I knew I was getting vibes but couldn't place it. That's exactly it!
Crafsman is our new Bob Ross.
Yup
If you want to make a mold without any bubbles on the subject, I find that if you take a paintbrush and brush mold material all over the surface first, there's never any bubbles. It also guarantees the material gets into all of the crevices. Then pour normally after that.
Very good idea! I probably need to do that instead of rubbing my finger down in the mold. LOL! But for open molds like this, it's a surefire way to eliminate surface bubbles.
I laughed and chuckled when little Crafson popped up. He takes after his Father....you should be proud.
Crafsman: The mica powder brushed onto the mold may rub off and get everywhere after handling the finished piece. To prevent this, you can coat the metallic mica visor with something called Psycho Paint after demolding. It's glossy, clear, won't affect the color, and is super easy to apply!
It has held up pretty well. I've found that if you make it too clumpy, that outer bit of mica can indeed rub off. I got some Psycho Paint years ago for painting color onto stop-motion puppets, but have never considered using it as a coating! Fabulous idea! Thank you!
@@TheCrafsMan Awesome!!!!
"for me, that's not the final frontier" Crafsman goes beyond space and time, it's proven now
14:14 that "but you ain't got to do that" was very comforting 😌
I do be liking these dreamy colorful backgrounds but nothing beats the good old messy workshop!
I'm telling you Mr. The Crafsman, your music is amazing. I really wish you'd look into "Distro Kid" and get yourself the ability to post stuff on Spotify! Man... Love it! Thanks for the video.
My man, thank you! :D I sincerely appreciate your encouragement. I post MP3s to Patreon every now and then, but feel like I'd need some more substance to the songs to be worthy of Spotify and that. But thank you for the super kind words!
@@TheCrafsMan Sir, Your collection would really be appreciated by those of us that are in the car on long drives or just need a back drop of sound for different things that are going on during the day. I could see your music being even bigger than your Crafs stuff as it really is kind of what I'm here for. I enjoy the videos for sure, I really do; but I'm not a crafter. I think this just speaks volumes to your musics wide appeal and well to your overall appeal.
Nonetheless, as always, I'm proud and honored that you'd take time out to reply. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Trae McCombs (S1cnus on reddit)
Your little space montage with the figure was so cute and made me so happy
Oh man. When you made it fly through the space background I had a good laugh. You ready have an excellent sense of humor.
Also, Crafson looks just like ya. Glad to see he's taken a shine to steady craftin.
Oh, dear, I am delighted again, since TH-cam stoped e-mail notifications I lost you, I hope not anymore, this is delicious to watch, I was very happy to meet your son!
Crafsman... you have the best workspace ever and is DEFINITELY film worthy. I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and you are the only channel that’s gotten me through school. So thank you kindly.
Jordan, this is super kind and super encouraging to me. THANK YOU, so much!
Thank you for giving me and the Crafsman community the best quality videos and keep on steadycraftin
"for me, that's not the final frontier." I see you, CrafsMan.
When I watched the intro I immediately subbed 😂😂😂
Nice collab between father and son....CrafsSon’s cute, little face and hand...awww!
Crafson is so cute. He did an amazing job on the sculpt! These are so cute/cool.
The voice makes me laugh every single time hehe and the way he pronounces those freaking words I love this channel and the amazing crafts that this dude makes are so good .
Welcome to the club.
I had a friend in elementary school that talked like him and his mother too. The one word that always made me laugh when they talked was when they said the letter “R”. They pronounced like “ are-a”; rrr-aaaa.
Lol!!!
❤️💪🏼👊🏼👍🏻👍🏻
@@wolfparty4234 hehe it must of been hard not to laugh in front of them
@@arigvi101 thanks dude
I literally just stopped what I was doing and gasped! CRAFSON!
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, CRAFT SON IS ADORABLE!
Your voice is absolutely hypnotic. I love the accent and the cadence and the tone, you really are the Bob Ross of crafting!!
Squishy molds!
@Jon Mon it is? Unless there’s another I don’t know about.
@Jon Mon more like uncle Joey
This is my first video from your channel, and I don't think I've clicked subscribe so fast before. I love everything about your channel so far!
Why is this so relaxing to watch-
For smoother sprues without nicks that slash into the mold body:
Take a long skinny scalpel blade, heat it in a flame and bend it sideways into a u-shape when it glows. It forms a kind of 'crooked knife', kind of like a gouge with the handle turned ninety degrees. Use the U to cut smooth bottomed ribbons of rubber out of the way. Gets dull quickly, but blades are cheap.
Crafsson is adorable 😁
I love TheCrafsSon. That's the most adorable Man/Son duo I've seen in a long time!
Gracefully AND indiscriminately, that's a trick right there.
Woops forgot to add sophisticated precision, too.
Thanks for the flirting tip on the Webster's, gonna see how that works.
Update: it worked pretty well, although the Mrs did roll her eyes a bit, first.
You speak so calm and quietly its super satisfying to listen to,
Crafsman you're better than prime time television 📺
Your voice is oddly relaxing
Brilliant video as always. Smooth-On should feature your videos. They are very fun to watch and easy to follow. Maybe as a follow up video you should use this same mold and make a split body with a harder plastic bone embedded in the middle!
This is one of the only DIY channels i've seen with a unique identity and IM LOVIN IT
i stumbled upon this channel and its perfectly balanced with art and wierd. I LOVE IT
Finally! We get to meet Craft Son!
I find This more relaxing than ASMR to be honest
You really brightened up my day, Crafsman
This is strange, I don't know how I got here, but I feel this has been the least regrettable 18 minutes of my life. Very enjoyable, thank you.
i’m new and i jus gotta say this the most calming voice i’ve ever heard and i love that it’s not asmr
This guy never fails to entertain in his demos
That first pour was amazing.
Crafsman went crazy flipping those molds together like that haha. I wouldn’t have the nerve to do something like that. But crafson appearance had me rollin. So cute haha
He went all out on this one.
This was...
Funny.
Cool.
And aw(son) all in one.
I love the puppet. it's like a hammerhead shark's idea of what a human looks like
OH YEAH! Back to the basics! I miss this type of video!
i love your calm approach to TH-cam
Your voice is so calming
Crafsman I love that you aren’t using background music I am so happy it’s just your voice it really makes it feel like a classic crafsman video
I feel like this gentleman is the Bob Ross of the nifty figurine creation world.
Yup
I love the construction paper background production values! You're as good as This old Tony as a maker and content creator!
Lol Crafson finally got a cameo!
Crafsman I was looking for a review on the video game Among Us and discover your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your crafts with us viewers, because of Crafsman the world is a lovely place.
I’m convinced you’re the Morgan freeman of the crafting hobby lol, I learned a lot more about mould making and resin pouring thanks to your video so thank you for that!
Your voice is so relaxing like Im trying not to fall asleep with how amazingly smooth it is
Also great job with the squishy!! Its amazing!!!
I honestly couldn't pay that much attention because his voice was so smooth
A treasure.
I get so happy when there is a new video posted.
The world needs more Crafsman!
Hey CrafsMan, another great video. The construction paper backgrounds are neat and I like them a lot. But I kind of miss the workshop, I think it has a lot of character and makes the crafts look a little more accessible when you don't have a fancy background.
Thank you Crafsman. I always appreciate you takin the time to make these. You are my hero. I mean that.
0:00 - 0:24 I love this intro!
9:54 You add objects into the liquid to increase the coverage! Smart Move!
16:38 Red was not the imposter. You have 2 imposters remaining.
17:10 He's shaking his head ever so slightly broadcasting "No, I don't, pa..."
17:36 That's pretty slick! I like that one.
This has an abundance of personality in it. Enough to swim in.
Thing is, if it rubs off on me, I'll have glitter all over my crevices and creases.
Idk Crafsman, you looking kinda sus..
But he's clearly been doing his tasks.
😂
Sus inposter red sus sus moment sus red blue orange!!!!!!! WHEN IMPOSTER SUS!!!!!!
this is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen
Videos are getting better and better all the time; new music sounds great in this one!
WAAAIIIIITTTT what! So happy to see Crafsson around the 1:30 mark! Now back to the show!
Crafsman, your videos are always so positive and peaceful. Blessings on you and your family.
One note, that blue tape is kinda transparent and i was able to read what was under it! Maybe try double layering next time!
Daaaaaaaaang..... I do believe that was the first appearance of Crafson....! Or at least his puppet likeness anyway. Super sweet
Watching your videos encourage me
I love that crafson is involved!
I cannot understand a single word you are saying but I love you with my whole heart
You're like bob ross
Man I dig this channel. So chill.
The silicone pouring scene had a great aesthetic. You are not just a great figure creator but also really good at making these videos. Much love, your voice always reminds me of Mitch Hedberg.
This is some of the best content ever, thank you.
the sound effects at 9:59 made me laugh out loud at my desk
Craffson got his dad's appearance AND skills.
You teach in the best way! :)
Is no one going to mention that the letter about Among Us came from Wendell HARDYEET!?!? The most legendary name I've ever seen.
GASP! Crafson finally shows up! That's adorable XD
Also I ordered my first mica powder pigments for resin this weekend! I'll be using them in UV resin and two-part epoxy resin for various projects, so it's good to know about adding it to one half of the epoxy stuff instead of both.
this guys voice is so nice and his words are so kind 🥺🥺
Hi Crafsman! I missed your voice. I needed to stop by for a fix and say let's pray for a peaceful election season. . which might last a long long time! Help us Lord, to treat our neighbors, all our neighbors, even the one's bused in to the state, with compassion and truth. In Jesus name Amen.
What a cool little spaceman!! How fun to see your ideas come to life!! Crafson looked mighty impressed! ;))
