This is something I had seen when it you actually put the video up. Now that I’m doing junk journals, I can see where these would be so fun to use. I found several on EBay for much cheaper that Amazon Prime if anyone is interested. Also if you lightly dust the molds with cornstarch prior to filling the molds and after it dries, it will make the removing the project from the molds way easier. Just a little FYI.
I've been doing the caulk molds for a few years and I love them. I've used a couple of the longer lacey molds to wrap around candles and bottles I've crafter. I also use the tiny doily-like molds in my miniature displays. They are fun and I use the cheapy, floppy ones all the time, but I have pretty good luck with them. I take them out extremely slowly in tiny bits at a time. Yep, it's time consuming, but the results are wonderful. Thank you and I love your tutorials.
Good to hear that the cheap floppy molds will work as long as you’re careful. I like the technique demonstrated by Heather in her channel called “Heather Tracy”. She removes just the beginning edge then places the mold upside down on a surface and peels the mold back super slowly, carefully easing the small detailed pieces out as she goes. I found her videos VERY helpful!
i ordered a mold today. I can't wait to see hubbys face when I tell him i need caulking......lol. This is a FABULOUS idea.....you are da Man!!!!!. I can't wait to see whay you come up with next....
Stacy, I have watched this video at least a half-a-dozen times. You have given more knowledge, advice, and demonstration than anyone else on TH-cam. It appears that "47CMC's" channel is off the air. Thank you so much.
TFS a brilliant idea with us, you are just so creative. Just a thought, when I do resin in my molds I use a release agent with it and the resin does come clean off. Maybe that would help with the ripping of the more delicate pieces.
Omg I'm so happy I found this video!! Thank you for sharing this. My Dad was a Plumber as well. I learned a lot from him. He used to let me help caulk with him. Will be trying this method.!!
Hi Stacy! I am so happy that I found this! I have been ordering these molds online (because I wanted to make clay embellies for scrapbooks and mixed media) and NEVER thought of caulk! These are going to be great for canvas pieces because they are so lightweight! I can't wait to get some caulk and get started. Also, on another note--I just love your tattoo! So much better than the ring that I always forget to put back on after I'm working with messy stuff!
I have tons of old antique and vintage doilies. I wonder if I could make molds from them and then make the calking ones from those. I want to use them for tea dying paper.
I think I'm going to try a light coating of paste wax or cooking spray for an easier release. I do love this idea though, much less expensive than resin. I also like that they are flexible. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love this!! Gotta try this!! I use my mod podge molds with air dry clay and have made some really cool things, but this would work in those as well!! I really don't see any house work getting done in my house now!! bahahahaha!!! Always, Leslie
I've been subscribed to you for a while and I can't even remember what it was that I found you for, I mean like which medium because I like a lot of different ones like you do. I'm a paper crafter usually. I think I found you originally from the gelli plate but just had to tell you that I am so inspired by you. You do such an amazing job at teaching how to do these things you do. YOu make it easy to understand and follow along. I appreciate it so much and am so glad I found you. Now I just need a solid week away with my computer so I can just watch all of your videos. One thing just leads to another. haha Thanks!!!
Girley, another fabulous video!! *claps* What are the green molds you are using and where can I buy some, or even used ones? Thanks, keep on keeping on!
+GodzHarleyGirl Studio Thanks! Those molds are martha stewart... they were on clearance probably 8 months ago... not sure if you can still get them... sorry.
FYI.. what you are calling wings on your butterfly mold are actually side profiles of butterflies with the wings closed together. I have the exact same mould.
I’ve got a kind of floppy lace mold that I’ve been trying to use with paperclay, so far the same damn thing keeps happening. It tears it rips but I can’t afford those nice big molds. I need a neighbor that likes the same stuff I like so we could share. All my neighbors are in their 80’s tho so I’m screwed, I guess. At least now I know it’s not me, it’s the cheap ass molds! Thanks, honey!! ❤️💙💜. You’re came out great!
every time i see molds at the store i say,i should buy some,but what and how would i use them for? now i know.thats a lot cheaper then die cuts.great video as always,thanks.
+amanda evon Thanks! And this works best for the delicate cake making molds... if you plan on using deeper molds...you are probably better off using clay only because the dry time is so much faster and the detail on clay will be better than with the calking.
On the really flimsy ones, could you just wait till it dries then put on another layer? Just wondering because I’ve never tried this! It looks like fun!
Hi , wonder if you know why when I use the deep molds some of the calking stays soft and it does not harden. I am using the same calking that you showed on the video. thank you
If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby they have quite a bit of silicone lace molds they have the round ones the doily lace ones and the long lace ones and the molds are pink but they are very very sturdy they're not flimsy of floppy like the ones you described in your video they are by a company called Sunny side up bakery and every other week they are 50% off right now they are 50% off I just bought several of them and they are quite inexpensive they run anywhere from $2.99 all the way up to $7.99 and when they run them 50% off for that whole week you can get them half price.
Have you tried to spray dry shampoo into the mould before putting the caulk in it to see if it is easier to get out? I think I might have to try it. I used it to spray pages in a book I got on internet that smelled like smoke and it took most of the heavy scent out of the book. The powder might help with the sticking. We'll see. Let me know if you try this, that is if you are still doing these moulds. This is an old vid.
I think the "wings" are sideways butterflies. you can layer them on top of each other and make it look like it has two wings, but just looking at it because of the swirls, which to me look like antennas, (even if they are wings) it looks from here like you could still make it a butterfly. I need some doily molds now. lol I have used spackling but it takes forever to dry.
+Take The Cake Diaper Designs I think your right, they are probably meant to be sideways... I dont know but it would have made more sense to have one going in the opposite direction lol Spackling would dry very hard and brittle though, I do know that. Spackling would work for the deeper molds without a lot of delicate detail. Like the flowers and such :)
The spackling I used dried like a sponge. Lol and took about three days for a mod podge mold which wasn't too deep. I got the quick dry one too! I was trying to find something other than the mod melts and clay to use. It also doesn't pick up the detail great and when it's completely dry if taken out before hand starts to curl. I'll try it with this though, I have a whole tube I just took out of the gun to use 100% silicone for a handmade mold. What else is there....😁?
dont use 100% silicone in a silicone mold... you will never get that out and your mold will be ruined! make sure its acrylic latex PLUS silicone... so its not just pure silicone :)
I have silicone molds and I have trouble with them l get mine on wish.com very reasonable prices l have to try to make them again, you have been a great help ty
awesome idea. I just caulked my toilet for the first time and have never used that medium before. I'm so excited as I got the caulk at dollar store. I hope it's the right kind of caulk. question for you... can I use candy molds or only silicone? I also want to try making my own silicone molds. happy crafting ☺
Hello,you can either make the moulds yourself or I know on Ebay UK they sell stuff like that for people who do cake decorations.I was just thinking what beautiful stencils they would make,in fact they could be used on many surfaces,lovely use for an rather ordinary product.Is this what we call 'bathroom sealer'she says cork or caulk? different terms to us ?
+Pink Poodle Crafts I don't have any decorative silicone molds. The only ones I own are for resin casting and are not detailed. I guess I could pour a thin layer of glue in them to see how it would dry and if it'd stay pliable.
I ended up getting a flimsy pink one too,,,, however, it came out fine. I used the whole doily AND cut off the top part and had a smaller one too, so it's all good. FYI, there are a bunch of molds on geek.com for CHEAP. I'm ordering next month, so will let you know how it works out. Haven't seen any new videos, did you get your house sold? Just wondering if you're ok.
you never know intent of a designer - maybe the super flimsy mold is meant to have the center piece *placed* with the rest? IDK OH - and in what way were the purple wings not as good? still wet b/c of the paint making the mix not harden? cuz from here they LOOK fine. :/ JMO
Yoh did an excellent job explaining it !!! Take you !!! Keep up the awesome work
This is something I had seen when it you actually put the video up. Now that I’m doing junk journals, I can see where these would be so fun to use.

You are wonderful instructor. Thank you for sharing. God bless you. From Seal Beach, California
Can't wait to try this. Just ordered some moulds. Hubby is a plumber so I have plenty of caulk. Thanks for the great tut. First time to your channel.

What a great idea! So much easier than clay! Thanks for all of your videos.
+Nancy Wiltshire yes especially for those kinds of molds... not even sure clay would work in them lol :)
Your videos are always so thorough I love your personality too!
yup, a lot of fun will give it a try!! Love the idea will make for some fantastic embellishments. tyfs xoxoxo Angela
+Angela Rossetti Let me know how yours turn out...thanks for watching!
+Pink Poodle Crafts This will have to wait til I can afford to buy the molds then I'll break out the acrylic silicone.
I hear ya!
I have this stuff and need to give it a try!!! TFS
+Marla H. Let me know how it goes :)

Yay! Hubby has 3 boxes of caulk, I ran and checked it and it is not pure silicone so I can use it. Now to ebay to look for doily molds :) Thank you !
+joy'shere lol thats a lot of caulk! You will be busy for a while!
These would be great to use with gelli plate printing. Thanks for the tutorial!
Great tutorial. Tfs.
great videos ty
Fun video Stacy! I've actually done this! My molds are like your individual ones... Never thought to use caulk though!
Thanks!!
+ZeeCee Creations cool!!
Great idea!
+Lynne Hughes thanks :)
Love this idea. I would much rather use caulk this way than in my bathroom LOL. Thanks for the video.
that is to cool. i am going to have to give this a try. thanks for sharing.
I got over 20 moulds from aliexpress and wish- amazing and cheap!!
Yeah thats a great place to get them!!
Morgannna pp
Haven't been following long but I do like you style and your tutorials, always honest and interesting. Going to try this one. : )
+Suzy Q Thanks Suzy Q :)
I have tons of old antique and vintage doilies. I wonder if I could make molds from them and then make the calking ones from those. I want to use them for tea dying paper.
You are awesome!!! I have do something similar but with hot glue glitter sticks.
+Kat Mabe I love glitter! ive not tried the hot glue glitter sticks...are they worth it cause if so, i may be getting some!
+Pink Poodle Crafts definitely worth it! I have some of the orange molds from Mod Podge brand and used hot glue with those and it worked great!
cool :) Ill have to try it!
Love your vids Stacey ,you always exsplain so well . Great idea !!
+josie gitto Thanks Josie :)
You are the bomb! Thank you for this video!
Tks for this video, i want to try making these..
I think I'm going to try a light coating of paste wax or cooking spray for an easier release. I do love this idea though, much less expensive than resin. I also like that they are flexible. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love this!! Gotta try this!! I use my mod podge molds with air dry clay and have made some really cool things, but this would work in those as well!! I really don't see any house work getting done in my house now!! bahahahaha!!! Always, Leslie
+Scrapn Life Away lol who needs a clean house when there is crafting to do!!!
This is great! Will definitely do it!
hahaha 'with the calk on your thing', i was drinking water and spit it all over lol. TFS
wow!!! thanks for this tutorial
+Junk Journal Jenny Your welcome. I assume by your name you do junk journals... im going to check out your channel... Thanks for watching my video :)
TFS! I bought the Alex Plus caulking in a tube like yours at Walmart and mine had a cap on it. I just need to get more molds.
l've never made a mould before, really interesting. when l can walk again l'll go see if l can get hold of some tfs
+Lee Readman Im sorry you can't walk... I hope you're ok! You can order most everything online so thats an option! :)
Cut the nozzle larger and the cap will seal, although some saran wrap under might be good.
Very cool
I've never thought about decanting caulk from the tube that goes in a gun, into a sealable glass jar....hmmm.
New Subbie lol I absolutely LOVE how real you are in your videos. Freaking awesome. Stay Positive and Stay Awesome!!!
PS- molds are 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby stores right now. Chocolate molds, too.
thank you
awesome tutorial and have you ever tried using the plastic molds with the caulk? Do you need to treat the molds with anything before you use them?
am wanting to try this. thank you
I was going to order those mold good I watch your video they are really cute I'll order them :)
+Subelia Beauté oh good, you will have fun with it!
Just genius
That is so cool! I want to make some but to bad I’m watching this in the middle of the night and I don’t have any of the supplies!
This isn't really my style but I did enjoy watching. It also shows that we often use expensive craft products when much cheaper things would work.
+Anne-Marie Stevenson Thats true! I love finding ways to make things more affordable! Thanks for watching!
and it gives more pennies to spend on the things you can't fake!
yes!!

Maybe you should cut open your container and put it into a wide mouth container with a screw on lid like the modeling stuff comes in.
My sweetheart keeps plumbing supplies! All I need is a mold and I will raid his cabinet!
LoveLY!!!
+MR.VICTOR CRAFTER Thanks!
Do you use baby powder on your molds before or corn starch or some then like that
every time i see molds at the store i say,i should buy some,but what and how would i use them for? now i know.thats a lot cheaper then die cuts.great video as always,thanks.
+amanda evon Thanks! And this works best for the delicate cake making molds... if you plan on using deeper molds...you are probably better off using clay only because the dry time is so much faster and the detail on clay will be better than with the calking.
Great work. Can you paint these? Can you put them outside?
On the really flimsy ones, could you just wait till it dries then put on another layer? Just wondering because I’ve never tried this! It looks like fun!
Hi , wonder if you know why when I use the deep molds some of the calking stays soft and it does not harden. I am using the same calking that you showed on the video. thank you
love this idea! where do you find the doily molds? TFS
+kathy krug Look them up on amazon :)
Love this. where do you get the molds? I am going to try that.

No no I used the silicone to MAKE a mold lol I paid attention! Promise! 😁
ohhh lol yeah you paid attention and i clearly didnt haha
How about using mold release? Would that help?
How long do you let it dry before removing it
between 12-24 hours
What type of glue would you use to adhere to a clear glass or plastic Christmas ball which will be painted with chalk paint?
I just happen to see your video, and was impressed with the idea of you using caulk. Where is a good place to get the molds? thank you.
So maybe for wings you could cut the butterfly in half, you would have a two wings! Where did you get the molds? Another fun video.
+dragonflyneb Good idea! thats what ill likely do! :)
Why didn’t you dust the molds with cornstarch? Mine very rarely rip. I recommend dusting the molds.
maybe i didnt know to do that
Pink Poodle Crafts well now you can try it! Lol
If you want to have a pair of wings, just cut one of your butterflies in half.
Where did our get the silicone molds
Where did you get molds please
I have silicone molds and I have trouble with them l get mine on wish.com very reasonable prices l have to try to make them again, you have been a great help ty
*-where did you get your models from?? I love the dollies ones
you can find them online, on ebay or just google search for them :)
just subbed...wanted to know what glue you can use to stick this onto either card or wood..
Stac...... I love these girlfriend!!!! Where do you get those silicone molds ?
+Daveda Lane Thanks! I got them on amazon! Just search for cake lace molds or just doily molds, they will come up :)
thanks Stac!
you're welcome!
Just ordered mine off Amazon.ca! These r just awesome and cheap to make! Thanks for sharing, Stacy! :)
awesome idea. I just caulked my toilet for the first time and have never used that medium before. I'm so excited as I got the caulk at dollar store. I hope it's the right kind of caulk. question for you... can I use candy molds or only silicone? I also want to try making my own silicone molds. happy crafting ☺
just put a screw or nail in the tip of the caulk. 😉
Where did you get the doilies molds?
Bello....come si chiama il prodotto usato?Grazie
do you need to fill the mold with caulk up how long does it take to dry
How come your CAULK is so white.......Can i add colour to my Caulk????
My Caulk is translucent....
Where did you find those molds? What search term did you use to find them and where did you click, please?
Hello,you can either make the moulds yourself or I know on Ebay UK they sell stuff like that for people who do cake decorations.I was just thinking what beautiful stencils they would make,in fact they could be used on many surfaces,lovely use for an rather ordinary product.Is this what we call 'bathroom sealer'she says cork or caulk? different terms to us ?
I have dap Alex plus acrylic latex caulk plus silicone will it work how long does it need to dry
I just realized that I just commented on a video that you made 5 years ago. Lol
I'm going
Have you tried it with glue? Like regular Elmers School Glue? I'm curious if it would work also.
+Jeannine's Craft Room Ive not tried that... not sure it would work but if you try it, please let me know your result, Im curious!
+Pink Poodle Crafts I don't have any decorative silicone molds. The only ones I own are for resin casting and are not detailed. I guess I could pour a thin layer of glue in them to see how it would dry and if it'd stay pliable.
+Jeannine's Craft Room Oh then in that case... ill have to try it hahaha ill try to give that a try this week and see how it goes!
+Pink Poodle Crafts I'm really curious how it'd turn out and how it would do with colorants. I'm excited!!
dryer colorants work better... paint is to touchy... so stick too gelatos, chalk pastels, mica powders, etc, they will work better!
Where do you buy these forms please
Can you use paper clay in these molds?
I ended up getting a flimsy pink one too,,,, however, it came out fine. I used the whole doily AND cut off the top part and had a smaller one too, so it's all good. FYI, there are a bunch of molds on geek.com for CHEAP. I'm ordering next month, so will let you know how it works out.
Haven't seen any new videos, did you get your house sold? Just wondering if you're ok.
you never know intent of a designer - maybe the super flimsy mold is meant to have the center piece *placed* with the rest? IDK
OH - and in what way were the purple wings not as good? still wet b/c of the paint making the mix not harden? cuz from here they LOOK fine. :/ JMO
