Thank you so much for making this and linking the products too! I came across this brilliant idea on another app and was searching for how I could do this at home myself. Much appreciated ❤️

Yay! I'm so glad it helped you! I had the same experience and that's why I made the video. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!
Thank you, I have been searching how to make these, I didn't realise it was this simple. :)
Amazing!!! I love these! They are such satisfying fidgets!! Wonderful job making them!🤩🤩
Thank you so much for the tutorial. One question: is the Vaseline necessary? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Yes, you have to use a thin layer of vaseline or aquaphore or the pads will be impossible to get out when they are set up. It's the same idea as buttering a pan before you cook a cake. It helps it release from the pan when it's done.

If they aren't sharp, I'm sure they would work. That's why I liked the mosaic stones because they looked crystal-y and they weren't sharp.
Can you do this with a thin layer of hot glue?

No, hot glue hardens too much. Silicone is extremely flexible which is why it works so well.
Would you recommend using a UV lamp to quicken up the curing process?

No, I have not tried that. It's really a pretty short cure time, about 4 hours.
I just got some clear glue and small beads like urs nothing else and they have been drying for 3-4 days with still NO PROGRESS!!!

Clear glue will not work. You have to use the two part silicone mix.
Is there a way to make these so the silicone is softer? I’ve seen some rubber like ones but I haven’t found any diy videos for those.

These are pretty soft. The softness depends on the type of silicone you use. I think you will find that this silicone is the right consistency you will want.

Can you do this with Elmer's glue?

No, that would be too hard when it cured.
Can you make these with silicone caulk from the hardware store?

No, that kind of silicone dries too hard.

Are these able to be reused/remade again?

The beads can be used again, the silicone cannot. The silicone is a 2 part mixture that cures and sets which makes it a one time use.

@@alecaandtim thank you! Do you know if it varies depending on the type of silicone? I've seen one shop advertising that they microwave the silicone once it's picked to reapply beads and use it again.

@@AyYoSteve weird, I have never tried that. The silicone never gets "hot" during the curing process. Although I've never tried microwaving it before, I kinda doubt it would work. Give it a try and let me know what happens.

This is liquid silicone for mold making 20A clear is designed for a working life of about 30-50 minutes at room temperature. If you look into silicone you will find that it comes in classes of consistencies. This one will be a food grade, flexible silicone. I hope that helps.
