Finally made a SQUISHY figure! +Don't use ALL your glitter.

This video was originally going to be all about making your own flexible figures out of tough silicone. After some trials, I changed materials and had success! :D
I also show how to get full coverage of your figure (or other resin cast object) by dusting (coating) the mold before casting. This saves a LOT of material, which is great for expensive metallics, holographic powder, or - in this case - glitter.

Really glad to hear this! I know I've shown a silicone mold fail before, but this one was with a specific product (EcoFlex) that - although I've used successfully before - I would feel BAD recommending something to y'all and it be a little on the tricky side to use. I followed the same steps with the Dragon Skin and got great results right off the bat. :)

That really thin squishy one you made had me thinking back to those "sticky hands" toys where you could fling them at something and it would stick and pull it back. Also those octopus ones where you throw them against a wall and they would slowly "crawl" down. If they lost their stickiness you could rinse them in dish soapy water and pat them dry. I'd bet they were made with similar silicone.

I have an entire bedroom wall (floor to ceiling, side to side… 110% coverage) covered in brushed on glue and so.much.loose.glitter. But it looks AMAZING. It’s gold, but I used over a dozen different colors and sizes of glitter to really make it pop and have dimension.
