- Hi Everyone. In this video I show how easy it is to make your own silicone moulds for resin, or other casting projects. I chose buttons for this one as they may look tricky, but they are really easy to do using the tips and tricks I show throughout the video on making silicone moulds.

How to Make Your Own Resin Button Moulds

My paternal Grandmother married at 14. She had 14 babies. Her husband died when the youngest (my Dad), was 4. She managed to raise her family alone during World War 2. She later lived with us, she taught me to be frugal. This was before 'recycling' was a word. When garments could no longer be patched all buttons were removed and saved. We made 'rag rugs' from the well used fabric. I have soooo many buttons! But there's many I simply cannot part with - too many memories involved. Thanks to your video I can create molds and keep my sentimental treasures. Thank you for that gift.
As a knitter, customized buttons would be extraordinary!! I love all of these! Great ideas!!
Love these button! I actually bought. Mold to make my own buttons for my sewing projects. thank you Steve. you rock!
The glittery 2 toned ones are gorgeous! This is why I love your channel.
I have been wanting to try to make buttons. I really like the clear buttons too.
I have molds for tic-tac-toe boards with Xs & Os, but only enough for 2 of each. So I made 5 Xs and 4 Os and used them to make a mold so that I don't have to worry about making only 2 at a time & matching the exact colors each time. I only have to make the colors once, and make a complete set in one sitting! The mold came out so well, I can't wait to make more! The tic-tac-toe board molds I have are one small & one large. The large ones I am making & sending to nursing homes in the area of my daughter & myself. My daughter works in a nursing home near where she lives, and my step-mother lives in a nursing home near me.
Beautiful Buttons !! It makes it so easy to then make buttons to match any outfit or any craft project. Thank you for sharing.
I think they look fabulous oh my word now if I could just find somebody to sew lol
Brilliant as always. Thanks Steve
Thank you so much for this it will take my sewing to a whole new level as I can now custom make my own buttons. Thank you. XOXO
Gorgeous buttons! Cheers, Paige C.
You're such a fun man 😂😂😂 brilliant videos ... Addictive you are..
What a clever idea!
I wish this was possible back in the day when I was a seamstress (still am but very seldom). I could have made buttons to match everything and saved a bunch of time shoping and money.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts yes do it
What a great idea! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Thanx for sharing! Bye
Oh yes love this! 💖💖💖👏👏👏
Thank You Steve for giving me a way to replace some missing buttons. Whenever my kids pop one off their coats I could never find one that matches, until now.
This would be super handy for costumes!
I like Myriam with a y too..great molding vid
I looooove glitter & mica, wish I could make everything with them lol?
Hugs x Ann x
Ya figured out how to make your old mold thing! Congrats!
Wow! I love them!
I love Mariam, her voice is very relaxing. Steve, I love buttons! I have a bit of a collection!
Loved it!!!
They are awesome 😍
Just sent ya a cup of coffee ☕
The buttons are so super cute. Thanks for showing how to make the mould too x
Love it!! Thank you
Love, love, love buttons! 🥰 love how they can be so unique and they really are
Cool idea
I love the way that these turned out. Thank you for sharing about filling the little holes cuz I wasn't sure whether or not they would come off and now I know. MAKE my own mold and make me some buttons! Thank you so much for sharing💋🌟
Cool! Thank you! Xx
love your buttons!!! love those multi color ones!!!
I make buttons with my left over resin and then when I had enough I used them to make a button box for a friend who sews a lot :) I'll try and find a pic to put on the FB group. I've not made my own moulds yet as I'm afraid to buy more stuff lol
They came out beautiful 😍. Excellent work 👏
What a great idea and very beautiful buttons!
I really enjoy watching your videos as I myself use resin etc. You give me ideas sometimes xx
How fun and really cute. Thanks for sharing this.
These are very lovely ! Love the glitter
Wow how wonderful are those buttons! You amaze me in every video! Will your kits be available internationally?
Love buttons and those came out really neat!! Wanted to suggest another idea for the first failed button mold... the back of that was nice and big plus smooth. I would save it and just use the smooth shiny back for whatever... I could use it in the oven to bake my clay pieces etc. It would come in handy whenever I needed a flat smooth silicone surface. :D Filler for another mold is a good option as well if you don't need it for the surface. :D - Heidi
Love this! So very cool! I want to try and make some molds. Thanks for sharing this.
Can you do a video of how you Measure the silicone please xx
How fun
Love these. Such a great idea
Love the glittery ones best. Did you use any mold release before pouring?
Hi steve, i just wanted to ask if you know if you can put a smell into resin? Loving your channel, its my favourite 😁
Loving your channel you have answered a lot of questions for me !!! I have one tho could you use silicone mold putty as a dam in a already existing silicone mold for say 2 pours that you didnt want the two colors of resin to mix? mainly would it release from the existing mold without ruining it?
Hey awesome dude! What did you use or silicone? You are awesome!
Just caught up on this video.. love it. Have you ever made your own charms? I buy hundreds of penguin ones and would like to try and make my own as they are sometimes out of stock abd I guess would be a lot cheaper. What medium would i use? If you have already done one would you please consider doing one. 🙂
Hi Steve ... Question here ... Do you have Flex Seal where you are ??? And do you think it's possible to make a mold from it ??? Just wondering 😊 and keep these wonderful experimental tutorials coming ... Much love and thanks for all your videos
Hello dear, I was wondering if you you have tried clear buttons with a fabric? Like adding fabric into the resin? Leave a hole in the center and have like a fabric ring. I’m asking because I’ve never made buttons. With this video I was also thinking I could make cabochons or cameos? Sometimes you want a picture or a matching fabric in your items. Question is how would one add photos or fabric into a button or cabochons?
How much did you use for making the silicone moulds
Love the buttons
Great video Steve I’ve added some silicone to my basket as your right it’s a good price and I’m loving using their resin. I’ll be cheeky is there any discount codes atm 😊
I wanted to make my own button mold, because I use a LOT of buttons when I crochet clothing for my kids.
But I was also wanting to make my own bead mold. I hate the one I bought online, after 2 uses it cracks and I have tonreplace it and I can only getb4 beads of each size at a time. Theybare hard to fill and harder to remove and the molds are NOT cheap...
I thought you had a bead mold video but I couldn't find it
Hey stevie boy can you link me to your other art channel please X
Does anyone know if you can put clothing you sew resin buttons on in the dryer? Would the heat melt them?
Where can I order the molds you use. Or recommend a seller if custom button molds?
Hi Steve🙋🏾♀️😁
Quick question regarding making a 2 part mold. The object I have are drawer pulls, that have a spiral cross x pattern right in the hollow center and the ends are straight.
The center criss cross x portion is hollow/empty.
I've tried using rubber mold liquid and of course it fills the center. Which I then have to pick it out.
So when I pour resin in the mold it obviously fills in.
I want the center to be open as the original.
I love the drawer pull and want to duplicate it. I'm stumped!?
Any ideas please?? Thank you!
*any suggestions from members, viewers are appreciated 💯😁
Hi Steve🙋🏾♀️😁
Is there a way I can send a photo of the drawer pull via email please?
is there any other option except of using liquid silicone because i live in India with it is very expensive and hard to get your hand on some
You can use silicon caulk and cornstarch too. Many videos on it all over TH-cam
Hot glue also works - they dont last as long though but very quick and easy. Just cover item with some vaseline and cover in glue. Let it dry and use!
Who is Mariam? And what is her channel?
The USA link you gave for the liquid silicone is actually not silicone but a liquid rubber instead.
Rubber is not equal/the same as it is damaged by UV and some of us use UV resin from time to time, especially for small little projects like this so we definitely shouldn’t be making molds from rubber.
It seems lately that you are in a terrible rush to finish the video. You talk so fast I miss some of what you say. Also you either fast forward or skip some things entirely. Please slow down a bit. You do such a good job teaching us. By the way, I love your haircut. Very cool!
I always slow Steve's videos to at least 90%. I don't have an 'ear' for a "British/English" accent. (I also tried to find out which term is proper, but I'm still confused about it. Sorry about that.)
