FYI, if you create a mold that didn’t work out or one that is no longer acceptable, chop it up into small pieces use it as filler around a new mold pour, you’ll use less mold making materials and great way to recycle silicone. I believe there are people on YT who demonstrate this. Someone showed me in a class I took yrs ago.
Whenever I see one of your videos, my creativity flows. I am grateful for your videos, which are consistently innovative, creative and sweet. Keep up the awesome content.TY!! 🤩🙌👏
Hi Nadia. Great idea with cookies cutter. My advice is when you have ready mold I would pour thin layer of silicone at the bottom so it will level and cover all irregularities.
I’m just jumping in here 👋 Robert Tolone channel.. he’s been making molds as a professional for 50ish years. The past few months he’s been doing a lot of 3D printing so scroll back a little bit. But yah.. he has sooo much knowledge & super friendly. Just the tips & tricks in each video are amazing to gather. Thanks for sharing.. idk how I landed on your video 😂 Edit: Lia Dia.. I’m already subbed! Lmbo 🤣. I thought your voice sounded familiar.
Once I was making a mold and ran out of silicone. It took 2 day to get more. Finished out the mold with new silicone and it worked out great. You pushed the cutter into silicone. Try not doing that the only thing is you would need to add weight to cutter so no leaks. Great job. hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
Yes I think I pressed it down too far and now I have a thin lip I have to use a deburring tool. Okay if you only have one item but I have 12. Lol. And didn't realise I should trim them when resin hasn't cured.
Great to see you experimenting to save all of us from having to figure it out! Thanks so much for sharing. It turned out beautifully and I will definitely be trying this for myself! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Hi Nadia, your mild turned out beautifully and that purple is gorgeous ♥️. If you use packing tape and place the cookie cutter on top of it, (contact paper, works also), you then go around the edge of cookie cutter with hot glue, to properly seal it. You can then pour resin, inside the cookie cutter, to the depth you want, with This will then be your blank resin piece, to make all future silicone molds from. I hope this helps and is easy to understand. I love your art and your channel. ♥️🙏💐💐💐💐♥️
Thank you Fiona. 😊 I've never tried to pour resin into a metal object that I then needed to remove, as it seems resin sticks decently well to metal. But maybe with mold release that could work. Definitely a possibility with plastic molds that flex. In any case, it's an interesting idea💕
Thank you what a great idea. I have bags and bags full of cookie cutters. I’ve collected a lot of them over the years some pretty unique so I’m going to use your method and I really appreciate you doing this. You’re a smart cookie.❤️
What a wonderful idea! I have that cookie cutter and was trying to figure out how it could be used for making Christmas ornaments. I was going to use clay, but would prefer resin. Thank you! You really are an inspiration with your videos. Please don’t listen to those negative people.
This isn't strange. I've been using all my cookie cutters for molds. I've made molds like th too. I repurpose all of them for resin and eco pour. My ice cube trays too. LoL. Love your videos.
When I get time, I go to my favorite RUclipsr page and I watch old videos. That's why I'm commenting today on something you did 2 years ago. Smile. To me it's today you are doing it. Sorry. I forgét im watching your previous videos. I just want to see everything you have made. I've only been doing resin for 2 years. There are so many great videos. And whenever I watch a good video I like it and try and comment even if it's just a one word post.
I love making my own molds. I haven’t made many, but it’s always exciting to use them, I’m like a kid in a candy store when demolding them lol I like how this turned out. Thank you for sharing
Hi Nadia, WOW my goodness I really loved the way your mold turned out loved the shape to buy a mold in that shape costs a lot so thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas I really appreciate you taking the time to share 👍❤️🙂 Lin
That’s a great technique for a hollow form, especially if you’re planning on doing a top coat anyway. I commented on your last mold making video and added all the tips that I’d discovered while researching the topic. It ended up being a long comment😆 I hope it didn’t come across as sounding critical, if I did; I’m sorry for that.. I was really just trying to include everything I could think of before I fell asleep.😂 It was late.😵💫🤣 I’m not a professional mold maker either but, I did learn quite a bit about it and just wanted to share that info. Thanks for sharing your experiment, I’d call that a definite success!
I have those cookie cutters from a Sophie and Toffee kit. I set the cookie cutters down on tape, put another smaller cookie cutter inside and poured resin between the two. I made some nice ornaments to hang and I made shakers out of a few. You made lovely molds. i had not thought of making molds of these. I used these as the molds. (I used silicone cake pans to pour resin by the way. Just as protection in case of leaks.) You could put pictures on the resin shapes. Terrific holiday ornaments.
Hi I liked your tutorial, I have a question I have a round coaster made out of wood about 5 mm thick I like to make a mold out of it, can I use the same method or pour the silicon straight over and make a mold? Please let me know what you think I should do. thank you
I haven't made a mold yet but I want to. I was wondering, how can I make a mold from a glass item? What does the glass item have to be coated with? Do I use a spray, vaseline, plastic wrap or something else?
I haven't tried molding a glass piece yet, but I would think you wouldn't need to coat it at all.. silicone doesn't stick to glass, so you should be fine to use as is... just be sure to clean the glass from oils or fingerprints
Great video. Do you have a suggestion on how to make a silicone mold of a crab shell? The body only. I use crab shells for my seascape shadowboxes and can't always make it to the beach to collect them so I thought making a crab mold would be great. Any help is appreciated.
All you have to do is use mold release when you pour silicone on silicone. I would try it out on a mold you don't care about first to see if your mold release works. That's a gorgeous color and shape.
Interesting...What would the mold release do? From everything I've heard/ read... silicone seems to stick to silicone without any additional products...
I'm here to tell ya it doesn't work if you don't use the spray or something, I ruined one of my silicone cups BC I just poured straight silicone in my cup.
I just stumbled on your Channel and you do a great job the question I have for you is what color was that you had in the cup can you send me the bottle and name please and thank you because I think that's the color I am looking for to do a party and I cannot find it
Hey Donna, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact mix for this... I haven't yet found "the perfect purple" pigment, so I tend to mix a bunch of colours to make a purple I like.
I am so sorry you feel the need to apologize so much for what you do. As I’m watching your video, I see absolutely no need to apologize for sharing your experience your experiment and your talent thank you so much for this video. I’m definitely gonna try this, I really wanna make my own, because buying them is very expensive.🫶🏻 keep it up. You’re obviously very talented, and let the haters hate, it’s their problem, not yours.
🥰Thank you so much for your kindness Cathy. It's tough sometimes being a creator lol. People like you make it very much worthwhile. I hope this tutorial helps you make your own creative molds.💕

Yes! Someone mentioned this in my previous mold making post and that's amazing!💕🤩
I think it has to be the same kind and brand right? Or can I use any?
I used to do that with great success. It does have to be the same type silicone or you get a gelatinous mess!

That would be a nice Xmas ornament

Thank you SO MUCH !!
🥰
I have made several molds but using cookie cutters is pure genius!
🤩💕so glad you like the idea!
This has so many possibilities!!!
🤩😁yes!
You have such a soothing voice Nadia
🥰thank you Rosemary💕
Oh my that's a great idea!!!
🥰thank you
I like your method. The mold maker leaks. That’s cool
That's amazing Nadia so pretty love the color purple
🥰so glad you like it!💕
Very cool! The possibility are endless! Don’t worry about what “professionals” think, I’m sure they have had plenty of trials and errors.

Great idea. You could also cut polymer clay with the cutter, bake it, and use that as your blank for mold making.
I MUST GIVE THIS FANTASTIC MOLD IDEA A TRY~ THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Loved this one!!!
So cool making your own mold 👍💕💕
🥰🥰🥰 it was fun!
Thank you. That was very helpful. It seems obvious now but I never thought of making a base first and doing two pours.
You are an inspiration!
🥰 I appreciate you💕
Thank you what a great idea. I have bags and bags full of cookie cutters. I’ve collected a lot of them over the years some pretty unique so I’m going to use your method and I really appreciate you doing this. You’re a smart cookie.❤️
Thanks for sharing
A really nice universal shape!! I love the rounded edge that you got!!! ❤
🤩🥰thank you! Love how it turned out!
Great video and so informative.
This is great ! I love you keeping this in Realville !!! Thank you ! You did an excellent job ❤
Nice idea to use cookie cutters ❤
🥰 love the result
You are goddess of creativity ❤️. I get mesmerized seeing your videos.
I was wondering how using a cookie cutter to make a mold would work. Now I know. Thank you!
🥰🥰🥰
How cool! I love your videos!
Thank you!
🥰
Will have to try 😀. Thanks for sharing!
🤩🥰so excited about this!
I LOVE all that you do and really enjoy watching someone so talented .

This was just the video I needed. Thanks!
I like that idea
Very cool! I've never made molds, but your videos are making it look like I might be able to. Looks like fun, too. xoxo
🥰you definitely can! It's actually really fun and easy💕

very nice 😀i would pour just a little bit more silcone for the base so you will fill that gab

Great you can put a thin layer of silicone in the mold n that would level out the edge
🤩yes! That would likely work!

Thanks for sharing. Where are the stickers from? I looked, couldn’t find the link.🙏🏼
If you made the resin in clear, could it be used as a stamping block for silicon stamps?
OMG that is a gorgeous purple. May I ask what color that is and where you got it?
Thank you💕 it's a custom mix I made for another project and I used the leftover in this pour.
Ooh, the possibilities! Please excuse me if someone already asked... did you just put the cutter in with no coating (naked😉)? Thx for the demo 😻.
yes i did - just made sure they were clean, no dust etc. They are really fun to make!💕
@@LiaDiaDesigns awesome! Just watched your Xmas Decs so came back to refresh my memory 😵💫😸. Merci💗
Maybe use tape or rubberband to hold down the cutter.
I haven't made a mold yet but I want to. I was wondering, how can I make a mold from a glass item? What does the glass item have to be coated with? Do I use a spray, vaseline, plastic wrap or something else?

Interesting...What would the mold release do? From everything I've heard/ read... silicone seems to stick to silicone without any additional products...
@@LiaDiaDesigns I saw Claire do it on her channel, "Clair's Crafty Corner"
She said she didn't even use the spray, but she did use Let's Resin silicone and I think she used their molds also. It's her new video.
I'm here to tell ya it doesn't work if you don't use the spray or something, I ruined one of my silicone cups BC I just poured straight silicone in my cup.
I think you may have been able to avoid the indent.by waiting until the silicone was fully cured before adding it and adding the second layer
Yes, maybe! Someone commented that you can add another layer of silicone even days later! So I'll try that on my next mold😊
I have some clear , I’m gonna color it . Something about a boring clear mold doesn’t go well with me 😂
I just stumbled on your Channel and you do a great job the question I have for you is what color was that you had in the cup can you send me the bottle and name please and thank you because I think that's the color I am looking for to do a party and I cannot find it
Hey Donna, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact mix for this... I haven't yet found "the perfect purple" pigment, so I tend to mix a bunch of colours to make a purple I like.
Omg ! I wonder if they sell smaller molds for dog tags ? I’m gonna try this . From my grandsons toy
Can't wait for you to try it🥰
I was wondering, how would wood shapes turn out using silicone?
I think it would work... but the silicone will keep any grain and rough edges in the mold... so if that's the look you want, that would be perfect
@@LiaDiaDesigns thank you
Bet that would be cool...would have wood grain effect
Is that only half the depth of the cookie cutter?
Yes😊
