Hey Edna, I'm a guy, but retired, and actually love all kinds of clay and resin art. I own a kiln and just really enjoying myself on everything. I simply just love the way you absolutely make it sound so easily and especially inexpensive. there is really no reason to be too fusy, I mean aren't we all just to really let ourselves go and be as expressive as we can be. Buying a few things, like the resin, is really kind of expected, but learning from everybody online, like you, helps in so many ways, to be kinda assured that we can do it, and have fun doing it as well. I love it all your doing, please keep making the videos, I will be waching. Thanks Brad

I have an electric neck massager that has two flat massage rollers. Once I have poured my silicone I turn the massager on low and set it on the table for a minute. I’ve found it helps the bubbles rise to the top and pop. Works like a charm.

awesome! I bought some Let's Resin silicon to make a mold, I used an inexpensive plastic food storage box to hold the master and the silicon.... wow! it took two boxes (at $18 each!) and weighs a chunk! these methods are so much more efficient and cost effective. I could have bought several pre-made molds with those dollars. thank you, thank you, thank you!

Nice job :) love the Lego idea… seen that done on another channel too…. The plasticine is great to make moulds with as well… what’s really cool about it is you can use it as models for the moulds too… I needed a border that resembled broken rock for this clock I was making.., so I used plasticine to make it… I used strips of cardboard to create the long box and then pressed the plasticine down into it…. Then I took a bunch of different shaped flat rocks and pressed them down into the plasticine… I removed them and the. Did it again until the entire strip had been used up… it was approximately 4 feet long and a mere 3 inches wide and about a 3/4 inch deep… MUCH cheaper than buying the same rubber stripping on amazon… that bloody thing was over a hundred bucks! I was like, I can make that myself for less than half that price…. Turned out PERFECT…. I love making my own moulds… it’s amazing what you can make with the silicone rubber….

@EdnaWargon 4 ай бұрын

So true, 💯 my favorite and easiest method is cardboard, I keep all boxes that are delivered and I precut them into straps ready for the next time. If you stick the base onto double sided tape, I don't even need to glue gun the outside. 👌😊

@ZippedUpKitz 4 ай бұрын

@@EdnaWargon yep! My garage is full of broken down boxes from Amazon … I have this gigantic box that my new recliner had come in and another one that my new oven had come in… both of those are completely filled with broken down boxes… I make all sorts off containers for making moulds… I love using double sided tape! It is the best thing ever for it… between that and cardboard from Amazon boxes, I've got endless mould making materials!!!

Thank you for a very helpful and life-saving tutorial I really liked the cardboard square method and the legos which are available in any house. I have a question and anyone can help me out. I am trying to make a mold for an earphone case cover. making a mold for the exterior of the cover is easy enough. I just have to surround a protected earphone case with silicon. However, the tricky part is how to make the mold for the interior and obviously inserting silicon inside the case cannot only damage the device but is not going to take the shape needed. I hope I make myself clear and if someone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.

The shine if your mold depends on how shiny the original item that you are casting in silicone. If the original you want to copy is not shiny or smooth, your silicone mold will not be shiny.

You can put the tape on a flat surface, i usually have some melamine boards i use for this so they are flat and level.
