It's crazy ay 😫😫 at least we know

Claire I have just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it. Your laugh is so infectious and your enthusiasm keeps me coming back for more 😂

I adore # Let's Resin My absolute favorite brand for everything.

lovely bowl. I didn't know about coloured silicone doing that either. Thanks for the info

Gosh, I'm so glad you got there in the end but what an exhausting process! Looking forward to seeing what you make with this gorgeous new mould :)

Claire. Always, taken chances, and working it through….. 😮😮I’m not quite confident in making large molds yet. I hope we can continue to learn more about creating them….

Love diy molds! Cant wait to see the bowl that you make

You are so awesome, Claire! Thank you for this amazing tutorial!!

Thanks for the tip how to clean the let's resin mold....I have always the problem to get of the rest of the tape 😅

Making my own molds is what I want to do. I do believe it is worth the minute expense to invest and create exactly the molds you need and will use again and again. Unlike purchasing molds that do not meet your specific criteria. 😻 Thank you Claire for sharing this process. 😻

Hi Claire, WOW my goodness you are an absolute genius loved the way you made your mould 👍 I cannot wait to see you use it on Saturday 🤗❤️

Thank you for sharing Claire. ❤

Probably not the color Claire. More likely some kind of contaminant, such as dust. Silicone seems to attract everything but money and men.

Hi Claire this was very clever, great idea 💡 great process 😍 looking forward to seeing your bowls 🥰 thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx

So excited for the next video 🎉❤

I recently tried silicone mold making and unfortunately bought way too small amount. One thing I did learn was to respect the rules of volume! You probably would have been a lot happier with your final mold being round instead of square. Lots of "wasted" silicone in those corners! Great video! I'm going to have to try it out again 😁

Nice mold.

I'm so glad you posted this! I've had someone ask me if i could make a resin pansy/plumeria ring vase. I have searched everywhere and can't find a mold for one. I've been trying to brainstorm how to make the mold and need HELP please! She's been patiently waiting as I totalled my car not long after she asked me and I haven't been able to work on anything for about 6 weeks now. My brain is still scrambled from the concussion so if anyone has any ideas that theyd like to share, I'm open to suggestions! ❤❤

Actually, that's not a fail but a great idea if you want to make a mold of a mold - just color the silicone!👍

OMG thank you! I did not know about the colored silicone and I was saving bits and pieces just for this. Now I’m not. Thank you again!

I think the issue with your silicone not binding together in the first mold is likely because you use mica powders to color your silicone. I do know that mica powder doesn't stick to other mica powder (you can't layer it in projects). If you used a liquid type of colorant, I'd bet it would work out. I do know that alcohol based dyes work well in resin because they don't mess with the reaction of the resin, They may be the best bet for silicone as well.

Watching this for the 3rd time. Claire I will put something into the center silicone mold to use as a casting mold.2 for 1 project. If you get my drift. Buttons , butterfly, hearts, some kind of something to make a reusable mold from that silicone. ❤

You make me cheer up every time.❤ I've signed up for your new channel, too. I he e a couple of silicone items I want to make molds of. Going to try tons of mold release spray. Love your mold making activities!

Great idea Claire and I can confirm that even same colour old silicone does not adhere to new silicone. I had the same problem - running out of silicone which I had coloured so I added some old pieces ( same exact colour) and it did not work. I thought the silicone was "bad" and dumped the lot. Now I know it's happened to your project, I guess it's a "thing".

Can you use the silicone chunks, broken up even more, as filler in your resin pours? As long as the silicone is covered on all sides it won’t shake loose right?

Thanks you. Interesting that the silicon did not stick to itself. It does makes sense though. Changing the structure by adding colorant. ❤

You always crack me up 😅😅😅 but I did use silicone molding I use Smooth On products there work pretty good I use them for about three years when I need to make a mold But ❤❤❤your work

Could you have put a domed layer of silicone like a coaster which would bond & then use it the other way up so you dont get the ridges from the tape?

@ClairesCraftyCorner

Жыл бұрын

Ohhh yesss that could have worked 😍😍😍😍😍

Use the extra silicone pieces for different shapes, designs or what-nots in resin pieces and then take them out of the finished pieces (as long as the piece is shallow enough) Or use them for UV resin or 2-part resin just on it. Or if there are flat pieces you can use for sticky mats.

I like simple design moulds tht can be used in many ways and you just made a new one like that out of an old one. I'd never come up with that idea! Pity about the dyed silicone.

Oh wow, great idea, so where would one obtain the big white mold, or is that home made as well?

Hey, Claire. Question…Do you ever craft just for yourself without filming it?

@ClairesCraftyCorner

Жыл бұрын

Heyyyyyy Diana ... rarely but yes xxx very rarely nowadays but I do sometimes just sit and do watercolour painting and a lil resin 😍😍

What was the cleanup like for the containers you used to mix the silicone? And is it safe to wash in the sink and go down the drain or is that a non-no?

Have you tried using the double-sided tape to put the housing onto a clear acetate sheet? No sticky residue, and the acetate is reusable.

Hi Claire! Have you ever thought about using vinyl or contact paper (adhesive shelf or drawer liner) instead of tape? It’s similar to tape, but is much much larger so no tape lines!

@ClairesCraftyCorner

Жыл бұрын

Heyyyyy lovely .. I haven't tried contact paper .. my cookie cutter isn't good enough that's why I use tape so I can wrap it around fully

Hi! Were the green bits of silicone that came out the purple silicone sticky or anything? I was just thinking maybe that’s a good way to make a 2 part mould instead of using clay 😊

What was the transfer tape u used I'm scared to buy one that leaves sticky lol

What was the brand of transfer tape please? I am thinking of trying silicone

Maybe a silly question, but can this mold form beused for much smaller items and simply not filled as high?

The reason you have ripples from the tape is that you are applying it wrong. Lay the tape down on the desk, sticky side up, let it fall flat, then push the item onto it.
