Mold making (super simple}

What you need :
2 part silicone putty There are a tone of different brands I tend to just type in silicone putty on ebay and buy the cheapest

what you want to make a mold of, I use chandelier crystals, buttons, toys anything really

wax paper !

The silicone putty is mixed in two equal parts . So I scope out a small amount roll it into a ball and eyeball it .

Mix the two balls until you get one color . Once that is done I pinch of a small ball and gently flatten it.

Then you take your dodad and gently press it in. You don't want it to go all the way to the bottom because this could make the mold too thin or have holes .

Do not do this on a paper surface ! the putty will stick to it and will make getting the finished mold off a bit hard.

Once the putty is cured , simply pop out your dodad and tada an awesome mold. You can use the molds for all kinds of things! resin,polymerclay, paperclay..

If you have any questions just ask !

oh and I think I'll try to do a tutorial a month. I like it it's fun.

Just came across your website and it is soooooooo cool!!
I was looking at the molds that you made. You mentioned being able to do all sorts of things once you have the mold. I never used molds before. Do you know of a link, or have any ideas on how what to do with the mold once your done with it? Projects..things like that?
Thanks,
Alexis.

I use the molds to cast resin. But you can also use them for polymerclay !
