You clever girl, I’m a 70 year old grandmother I was amazed at your talent, I’m trying to make things with one of my grand daughters and buying the moulds can be expensive. Not we can make our own, thank you, it’s shows you’re never too old to learn something new!😎😎😎😎
70 yrs old today and i can really appreciate your comment! New to resin as I'm a polymer clay artist and always learning new techniques! Ain't it grand?! So much fun!👍✌️🫶😊
The best video ever for silicon moulds. So grateful everything is sold here in Johannesburg. I’m a soap maker and a resin jewellery maker so thank you for this.
I've watched several mold making videos and the two of your videos I've watched so far are the easiest to follow with the best and most professional results. Thank you for making the process seem so much more user friendly. You have nice energy that comes across to the viewers. well done.
Hi, I think you’ll really struggle to use a silicon mould and fill it with silicon as it will just stick to itself and will become inseparable. Is she really wanting the little dolls to be made out of silicon? Perhaps you could pour something else into your silicon mould as an alternative. I think it’s not an easy thing to make silicon toys mainly because they are 3D and not flat like these moulds, if you get what I mean? X
Hi. I comment here cuz you said youve been buying silicone many years! And youre in aus. Im in sydney. Would you know where is good place to buy silicone for mould here? Thanks😌
Oh this is just awesome. I'm new to the whole silicone scene and love this idea. I really want to try this out. I am just so intimidated by the mixing, the brands, epoxy and so much more that I almost wanted to ever learn more. This has made me do a doubletake. Thanks.
oh wow. hav fun cuz there are so many diff types even at the craft store. called mold putty. usually a 2 part putty. u will hav so much fun and save so much money making it yourself and making molds of everything u can. lol. I know I do
I like hearing you talk as opposed to having to read because I have to stop the video to read each time. I read slow. Your talking videos may take longer but I don't have to stop every 30 seconds. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have an aluminum plaque about 4” X 4” X ¾” H of a 90th Seabee Battalion sailor kneeling with his rifle, and the word SEABEE. The battalion served in WWII and the plaque was given to me. I want to make a couple of copies for me and the person that gave it to me and get the original to the Seabee museum. I think that this is the best way I seen to complete my quest which next month will be TWO YEARS OLD. Thank you.
Hi, Your video made the process look simple and I can't wait to try it out. I looked at the three links you offered, but their sites offer so many options and I don't know which type you have used in this video. Will you please clarify the exact product you used in the video. Thanks in advance.
¡Hola! Para las personas que no hablamos en inglés se nos hace muy complicado entender de que materiales exactamente está hecho tu trabajo. Espero tengan en cuenta la próxima con subtítulos en español. Gracias
My wife is starting to get into crafts more. We are new at making molds. Was wondering if anyone uses filler material to displace some of the molding product ( silicone) required in making the molds. I know that you wouldn't want to near the actual shape, but seems like in some of these molding videos, there are relatively large areas where a filler objects could be placed, to reduce the volume of silicone etc.. required,, without risking the mold. Is this done?
Weird because I actually missed the talking. Don’t think I could remain quiet that long. I think when someone is sharing with you how to do something it’s 100% up to them what music and voice or no voice. Be happy for the free info !! 🥰
I really wish there was information on where you got your fillers/cabs for the molds. I’m having the worst time even getting a general idea of where to look or what to search for.
Thank you so much for the links. I've been trying to find silicone mold base that's actually a clearish/translucent to use with the uv resin I love working with. The colored molds dont work very well for anything deeper than just surface forms. I've got so many things I want to form & make that they dont normally already sell the molds for. Thank you so much for this video , you saved me tons of "leg work" lol
Ooooh I'm going to try the tapp plastics brand! Smooth on clear silicone needs a vacuum chamber to de-gas and even with my vacuum chamber it was riddled with bubbles. It was super frustrating.
When I pour epoxy with my counter projects I use a torch and a heat gun to pop the bubbles and it works super good for epoxy. I wonder if the heat gun would work for the silicone? That way if it is flammable the heat gun may pop the bubbles with heat without risking a fire??? Idk, keep a fire extinguisher close and do it outside? Can anyone confirm this theory if it works? Thanks for teaching us how to make a mold, I need to make some epoxy stars for a flag build I'm doing.
Hi brilliant video thanks but i have a quick question how will i make a leaf veiner front and back to use with cold porcelain flower making? If you know could you possibly do a video on that please or explain how it can be done. I seen that you stuck down your pieces before hand i wouldnt be able to do that with a delicate leaf or petal.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this video! I am a soap maker and I was thinking about making my own silicone molds. This helps alot thank you so much again :)
Hello, great video. Can you advise or recommend silicone supplies, I’m not sure what to buy there seem to be a few I’m confused. I would like to make molds just like you. I’m glad that you don’t talk in this video. I get annoyed by all the waffling on and lose interest quickly. You make it look so easy.
kathy mik you can buy acrylic at Lowe’s and go to a trophy or Laser engraving shop and tell them what you want and they can cut it for you. Look up laser engraving on acrylic and you’ll see so much.
Cheers for this, been searching for "does wax stick to silicone" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
We used to do it a lot at school by using the laser cutter, you draw the shape on a computer program then send it to the laser printer and it cuts on the lines with a laser. Looks to me to be 6mm acrylic she is using. You could also use a jigsaw and cut the acrylic by hand although this won’t get you as smooth a piece as using a laser cutter. Some companies have laser cutters and they cut custom things out for you but it’s not too cheap! Maybe you can buy them somewhere, search for acrylic shapes perhaps? Or you things lying around that you want to duplicate by making a mould of it, good luck!
How can cold in the fridge get rid of bubbles...?, other videos recommend heat that allows the hot air bubbles to rise to the top. Pls explain more, tnx.
Very nice, easy to follow tutorial. May I ask where you got the clear items you used as the pieces in the mold (coffin, ghost, etc)? Thank you for this tutorial!!
You can get many different shapes from any store, whatever it may be, such as a specific supermarket or a website, and there is nothing wrong with using anything you have available as long as it is possible to make a mold with it.
OMG! This was the first time I've seen a tutorial about making silicone molds that didn't leave me feeling intimidated. Thank you! Only have one question... I looked at the 3 links but there were so many things. Which silicone did you use?♡
I was thinking the same thing. I've seen many that hardly explain or are very difficult (and expensive). This is one of the best tutorials I've seen on mold making.

I’m sure all the girls that are learning from you are thankful for the amount of time you invested, and to help others is always the best...hugs
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I am a newbie's newbie with polymer clay and want so badly to make molds. You made it look so simple! I just can't thank you enough for sharing so people like me can learn. You are a blessing!
Wow are you ever brilliant this is one of the coolest molding videos I have ever seen amazing thank you so much for sharing your talent and I love those laser cut acrylic pieces I would love to know where you got them and if they do custom work amazing again just wow you made my morning perfect for embeds for bath bombs for soap for anything totally brill!
Thank you for this tutorial, i appreciate it! From the links you provided which silicone is used in this video? I clicked the links there so many options. I need a very clear silicone like in the video. Please let me know and thank you so much!!
We all want to know! I guess if you own a table saw/ban saw you can go to a hardware store like Home Depot to find thick acrylic sheets, then just draw whatever shapes you want and cut them out.
Hi. Where did you get the acrylic Halloween pieces? Thank you for the video. Very simple. I like that you showed using cookie cutters. It gives it more depths. ❤❤❤
Thanks for a great video, very informative. Do you happen to recall where you got the clear ghost pieces you used in the video by chance? I really like them and would love to get some..? Thanks again!
@@LullaBelleCreation you don't sound rude. I think people that are new to this just want to know what you used so they can get the same results you did. Plus maybe people can't always afford to experiment buying different kits. That's why you're showing what works for you isn't it? So we don't have to make mistakes?
Mind if I jump in? Tell me if it's not welcome, I tend to be annoying like this in real life too. People asking what products: Impossible to answer unless you want to know what she used in the video, which she's shared. I found CraftyLefty's videos while looking for silicones, but I'm making molds and the things I'm making from the mold will also be silicone. Long story, but I need to know how much flex is in different types so I watch these videos and wait for the part where I see the person bend it. Now that you know this lefty's situation, I'm going to try and assist in getting some info to you so you can learn on your own and make fewer mistakes than if you hadn't seen this video. 1)You WILL make mistakes 2) Nobody I know who has a creative drive has money to burn. She posted this video to help people, and she has. If you just want to come on here to make people feel responsible for your budget, you might want to rethink some things. 3) See #1 ☺I have some experience with silicone (a rubber) and urethane (also rubber). I don't like urethane so I don't use it. ☺I haven't cast resin, I've done wax and plastic and will be casting silicone into silicone molds. ☺She put a link to SmoothOn here, that's who I've purchased through and they have a page where you can send questions and they give detailed answers, but be specific and detailed with your questions. I usually get answers in less than 24 hours. ☺SmoothOn has a youtube channel with lots of videos/tutorials. Subscribe to it. If you're looking for food-safe silicone, that's where you'll find videos, and there's a search box on their website that you can type "food safe" into. The product descriptions are very detailed and 'food safe' is usually at the bottom of the first paragraph on the product page ☺Find and DL a 'durometer shore hardness chart'. Do an image search or find the one on SmoothOn's site. That chart is priceless, I'll give you a for instance. CL mentioned the OOMOO silicone. I've used the OOMOO30. The number in the product is most often the Shore Hardness. The lower the number, the softer the silicone--but note there's a letter before the number so look in the correct column. In this case, the Shore is OO30. The one in the above video is A15. Looking at the chart, OO30 has the feel & flex of a gel shoe insole (and that's exactly what it feels like. Squishy, and tears relatively easy). the A15 is up the scale so it's harder; feel & flex of a rubber band. I learned this by reading and trial/error. Just like you will, just like CraftyLefty did. After you learn, pay it forward because someone will be in the shoes you're in right now. And if they criticize you for not giving them the answers they want or not making their life less expensive? Come find me and I'll write something for them. Now go make something that's never been made before.
Jackie Sullivan Thanks for this info! I found the chart and that helps a lot, especially when in regards to the different sizes of items I need molds for and how easy/difficult it may to to unmold an item with no give.
CraftyLefty I LOVE your video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it. Don’t let the complainers get under your skin. People forget that manners should still be in play online. You’re awesome!! ❤️
Can you use this method for beads, jewels like cabochons , flat beads or do I have to use a different method ? Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Really good video.... 💞
I never knew putting the mold in a refrigerator would make the bubles go away, in all the videos i have watched they use a lighter to pop them or if they are very fancy they have the vacum chamber or pressure pot
How many do you want ? I have these ghost images exactly I can make them on machine any shape and size, acrylic or wood, just send image or idea of what you want I also make lots of acrylic stamps for home made soap business Will be sending them from Europe Pm or send email to brunohands at g m a i l
Amazing video with easy to follow steps! Very well explained! I don't have access to acrylic right now, do you think that oven fired clay would be a good substitute? If not, then what would be the second option??
Low quality silicones can burn in the process of making cp soaps. But most silicone i haven't had an issue with. Im actually here to see different methods of making my inlays haha
Its crazy because I have been using epoxy resin for all kinds of things from knife making to dioramas and even home decor. There is not much I cannot do with epoxy, but I figured I need to start making my own molds I would benefit a lot from it. So I started a couple days ago and have tried 2 different times with the1st a catastrophic failure, but I recognized why and the 2nd time it just isn't curing all the way. Id say it cured about 75% of the way leaving a sticky greasy residue which makes it unusable. Another thing it took like almost 24 hours for it to get to the 75% cured stage which seems to long. I don't get what I am doing wrong and really frustrating me
Do you perhaps sell these specific molds on etsy or something? I love them and would love to use them for gifts and other things with the epoxy I got last christmas Edit:never mind I looked in the desc, lol I'm a nut
Go to a trophy shop or laser engraving place and they can cut what you want. They can even do dimensional cuts for depth. Just in “laser engraving in *add you city and state* then hit enter. Call some of those places. You can get acrylic off line or at Lowe’s but it’s prices there.

Uld you tell me tha name of the silicone? Thanks
Thats amazing that you use the fridge to slow down the cure time so your bubbles are released, 🤩✨💛 thank you for this!
Which silicone did you use for this? I love how clear it is.

Thank you for this tutorial, i appreciate it! From the links you provided which silicone is used in this video? I clicked the links there so many options. I need a very clear silicone like in the video. Please let me know and thank you so much!!
For super clear molds, I like to use PlatSil 73-15.
where did you get the acrylic pieces?
I was wanting to know too!
me too !! Where did you get those ?
We all want to know! I guess if you own a table saw/ban saw you can go to a hardware store like Home Depot to find thick acrylic sheets, then just draw whatever shapes you want and cut them out.
Those are resin peices I think and she makes them I’m pretty sure
I too want to know!!!!
Hi. Where did you get the acrylic Halloween pieces? Thank you for the video. Very simple. I like that you showed using cookie cutters. It gives it more depths. ❤❤❤
Hello, nice vid! :D Just a question, where do you buy your epoxy resin please? Have a good day !
Me too
Thanks for a great video, very informative. Do you happen to recall where you got the clear ghost pieces you used in the video by chance? I really like them and would love to get some..? Thanks again!
Thanks for mentioning the sites thats a lot of help. what Products do you recommend from each site?
@@LullaBelleCreation you don't sound rude. I think people that are new to this just want to know what you used so they can get the same results you did. Plus maybe people can't always afford to experiment buying different kits. That's why you're showing what works for you isn't it? So we don't have to make mistakes?
Mind if I jump in? Tell me if it's not welcome, I tend to be annoying like this in real life too.
People asking what products: Impossible to answer unless you want to know what she used in the video, which she's shared.
I found CraftyLefty's videos while looking for silicones, but I'm making molds and the things I'm making from the mold will also be silicone. Long story, but I need to know how much flex is in different types so I watch these videos and wait for the part where I see the person bend it. Now that you know this lefty's situation, I'm going to try and assist in getting some info to you so you can learn on your own and make fewer mistakes than if you hadn't seen this video.
1)You WILL make mistakes
2) Nobody I know who has a creative drive has money to burn. She posted this video to help people, and she has. If you just want to come on here to make people feel responsible for your budget, you might want to rethink some things.

☺I have some experience with silicone (a rubber) and urethane (also rubber). I don't like urethane so I don't use it.
☺I haven't cast resin, I've done wax and plastic and will be casting silicone into silicone molds.
☺She put a link to SmoothOn here, that's who I've purchased through and they have a page where you can send questions and they give detailed answers, but be specific and detailed with your questions. I usually get answers in less than 24 hours.
☺SmoothOn has a youtube channel with lots of videos/tutorials. Subscribe to it. If you're looking for food-safe silicone, that's where you'll find videos, and there's a search box on their website that you can type "food safe" into. The product descriptions are very detailed and 'food safe' is usually at the bottom of the first paragraph on the product page
☺Find and DL a 'durometer shore hardness chart'. Do an image search or find the one on SmoothOn's site. That chart is priceless, I'll give you a for instance. CL mentioned the OOMOO silicone. I've used the OOMOO30. The number in the product is most often the Shore Hardness. The lower the number, the softer the silicone--but note there's a letter before the number so look in the correct column. In this case, the Shore is OO30. The one in the above video is A15.
Looking at the chart, OO30 has the feel & flex of a gel shoe insole (and that's exactly what it feels like. Squishy, and tears relatively easy).
the A15 is up the scale so it's harder; feel & flex of a rubber band.
I learned this by reading and trial/error. Just like you will, just like CraftyLefty did. After you learn, pay it forward because someone will be in the shoes you're in right now. And if they criticize you for not giving them the answers they want or not making their life less expensive? Come find me and I'll write something for them. Now go make something that's never been made before.
Jackie Sullivan Thanks for this info! I found the chart and that helps a lot, especially when in regards to the different sizes of items I need molds for and how easy/difficult it may to to unmold an item with no give.
CraftyLefty I LOVE your video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it. Don’t let the complainers get under your skin. People forget that manners should still be in play online. You’re awesome!! ❤️
@@jx5173 thank you for mentioning the chart
Salam maim I m from Pakistan kindly tell me the name of silicon which you used..you are great and great make molds
Can you use this method for beads, jewels like cabochons , flat beads or do I have to use a different method ? Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Really good video.... 💞
I never knew putting the mold in a refrigerator would make the bubles go away, in all the videos i have watched they use a lighter to pop them or if they are very fancy they have the vacum chamber or pressure pot
Try find self degassing silicone
*Okay but where do I get the pieces lmao? Can I make them? I really want my mold shapes to be original. Great video. :)*
yes, i make my own shapes with polymer clay !
I carve mine from wood. You can use anything, but if you want original shapes you cant buy them somewhere.
@@twentyoneparamorefalloutat9322 How do you make them? do you just shape them to what you want?
@@drewhuble2538 so can we used something made from wood to get the desired shape?
How many do you want ? I have these ghost images exactly
I can make them on machine any shape and size, acrylic or wood, just send image or idea of what you want
I also make lots of acrylic stamps for home made soap business
Will be sending them from Europe
Pm or send email to brunohands at g m a i l
How about if you want to use an organic item to make a mold of, like mushrooms or strawberries?
OMGOODNESS! Thanks for showing me how to do this a little easier. Tfs
What kind of hot glue is that? Mine doesn't peel off. It's more permanent.
I love this idea. Thanks for showing us how to do this. I wanted to create my own molds and now I can
I love it. It looks so easy to make them. Where did you buy the acrylic that you use to make the mold?

Can any silicone mold mix go in the fridge? That mold looks great!
Is it weird that I watched that whole video wondering if my sister is a secret youtuber because I swear those are her hands! 🤔
Hi this is the best video I have found about silicone molds. I just have a question, how do you do the acrylic pieces?
Hello thanks for the video ! I just wondered where you found your glass objects to put it the silicone ?
Did you know
Hey amazing vedio just one que I have make few stuff with fevicryl epoxy clay can I make a silicon mold of that with this process?
is this safe to use for candy
kenya stewart I think There’s a food safe silicon mold making kits out there.
Hello
Thanx for ur video. But are mixing something else with the silicone?
I will try something like that, thanks for share!
Türkçesinin niye yazmıyorlar
Amazing video with easy to follow steps! Very well explained! I don't have access to acrylic right now, do you think that oven fired clay would be a good substitute? If not, then what would be the second option??
can you use silicone molds for making soap too? or would it be too hot?
Exactly. I have the same question!
I used silicone moulds for melt and pour soap. The soaps turned out great
Royalty Soaps uses silicone, I believe. It works great. She gets a beautiful shiny finish on her soaps.
Low quality silicones can burn in the process of making cp soaps. But most silicone i haven't had an issue with. Im actually here to see different methods of making my inlays haha
There is heat resistant silicone if you want to be on the safe side.
Its crazy because I have been using epoxy resin for all kinds of things from knife making to dioramas and even home decor. There is not much I cannot do with epoxy, but I figured I need to start making my own molds I would benefit a lot from it. So I started a couple days ago and have tried 2 different times with the1st a catastrophic failure, but I recognized why and the 2nd time it just isn't curing all the way. Id say it cured about 75% of the way leaving a sticky greasy residue which makes it unusable. Another thing it took like almost 24 hours for it to get to the 75% cured stage which seems to long. I don't get what I am doing wrong and really frustrating me
Do you perhaps sell these specific molds on etsy or something?
I love them and would love to use them for gifts and other things with the epoxy I got last christmas
Edit:never mind I looked in the desc, lol I'm a nut
Go to a trophy shop or laser engraving place and they can cut what you want. They can even do dimensional cuts for depth. Just in “laser engraving in *add you city and state* then hit enter. Call some of those places. You can get acrylic off line or at Lowe’s but it’s prices there.
