:Yes awesome shade of green and the hint of glitter catching the light from the perfect snowflake holder's candle is nice indeed. sorry for your mold lost
First off: I NEVER took physics. 😂😂😂I learned this from my brother-in-law... The base has to be bigger than the length of whatever it is holding up. Take a wine glass, measure the height of it. Then measure the base of the stem. The base is larger around than the height. Physics. That is why the mold wanted to topple over. That aside, I love the tea lights ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Especially the candle stick holders. I am so sorry they were so hard to de-mold. But the jesmonite is gorgeous. I love that green!!!! Awesome video ❤❤❤❤
Although the molds getting ruined was a heartbreaking part.But the beautiful presentation of these lovely t-light holders fades the pain of losing the mold.Very nice and beautiful T-light holders,Ms Claire. Hope you are having the best time there💜💜💜💜
Wow what an outcome rip candles moulds 🫶🏻 but wow so glad you got at least one of each candle stick ❤ and the snowflakes are sooo beautiful ❤ this video is the exact reason why I love you and your channel so real ❤
They are lovely!! Cut silicone molds cam be reused by sealing the cut with hot glue then I use duct tape over it to hold it together (just wrap it around) and you're good to go. I guess the silicone quality matters, but this should work!!❤ 10:15
Oh how sad when you have a cut a mold 😢but they loook beautiful 🤩 I think I will get some for myself especially the snowflakes ❄️ they are adorable I just would use resin and maybe some mold release in the candlestick holders.
I didn't see comments for previous video. I don't know if you can get diamond glaze out of America but I find it amazing for sealing resincrete. Gives it a beautiful shine besides!
Despite the molds having to be cut to get the candlesticks out, this is a successful video. Love the snowflake tealight holders, and the candlesticks are pretty. The glitter adds a nice touch.
Ohhh, so sorry about those tea light molds, Claire! 😢 I just gasped when you showed what happened to the candlestick molds. 😲 BUT, they turned out so beautiful! They definitely look Christmasy! Those snowflake tea lights are gorgeous! LOVE THEM! 😍💕
I bought these same moulds from Temu. My husband couldn't de-mould mine either. I ended up using cooking spray inside the mould. It slipped easily afterwards.
A question & a suggestion. Q. Can you use silicone mould release spray in a silicone mould that you then pour Jesmonite? (Sorry, I don’t know how to spell it) Suggestion, I think what would go perfect with the candle mould you broke is something I think would work well with broken off bits that are then superglued back together. Use a metallic pen or paint & draw over the crack. And then draw darkish lines maybe to mimic a crack or miss this bit out altogether & then paint cracks over the rest of the item. You could create the look where someone breaks a ceramic item, they superglue it back together & they draw/paint over the cracks in metallic to create a stunning piece from something broken that you would normally bin!! Or… use metallic colours but also some lighter pastel shades to create a marble effect. So I would go for greens, gold, maybe bronze/copper shades or for it to stand right out, silver to greys. Maybe you could have a go Claire & let us see the result on your candle holder. Your snowflakes look beautiful. It is a shame you didn’t have time for a sprinkle of glitter but they came out really well & I want to make some of my own. Thanks Claire for another amazing video & showing us the fails & not just the success stories
Instead of baby oil maybe you could have used olive oil or vegetable oil? Maybe plain liquid soap? Sorry you had to cut the moulds. The shape is fantastic and absolutely love the color! If you change your mind and decide to buy the moulds again and would you try jesmonite (sp?) again & try different demoulding techniques? I could see a clear resin with some glitter suspended throughout - think it would be gorgeous!! 9:11
these turned out awesome, I am wary buying tealight holder molds, I recently got a spider tealight holder mold off a "cheap" website and made some up , BUT the part where the candle is to sit is to small by about 4mm . i used jesmonite first up and thought is may shrink to much once set as i am new to jesmonite and the i tried epoxy resin and still had the same issue , i now call these mini ring trays :)
Next time... You come across this problem, get Tim to pop some air into the mold from an air compressor!! works like magic but make sure you hang onto it cause the mold will go flying!! Love the end result despite the damage!
It was far from easy. I put the moulds into warm soapy water. The warmth made the mould more stretchy and soft and the soapy water helped the the mould over itself. Jesmonite is so expensive here in NZ so have never used it and I don't have a deep pour resin so plaster it was.
I have the same molds and they are super hard to get off. My husband had a hard time getting them off too. We sprayed alcohol on the outside, or you could put them in soapy water to flip inside out.
If you had cut it in a straight line it would have been salvageable as many silicone moulds actually come apart (like super intricate candle moulds) so keep that in mind next time but the end is worth it
What a disappointment! But the tee tree lights beautiful and yes they are all stunning - Claire can I ask what can you use to seal jesmonite stuff and is their anything you can put on resin to make it shine I have found that some of my pieces small stuff like resin keyring letters a bit dull and not shiny like some of my pieces?! ❤
I have these molds as well and have used them with resin and they are horrible to demold even using alcohol. I probably fought with them for over 30 minutes trying to get it out. Which is a shame cuz I think they have so much potential.
Another random thought, do you have access to an air compressor? In the past when I have had things get stuck in molds, shooting air down the sides have actually made the piece shoot out of the mold.
@jencstephens5452 ohhhh yes I was totally contemplating making my own mould from the taller one for sure 🤩🤩🤩 and no sadly I do not have one but I know exactly what you're describing I've seen that done loads
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Welllll..... perhaps the husband has been wanting one? With Christmas around the corner, it would be a nice gift that I am sure he would he happy to share with you 😉
Gutted you had to cut the mold. With the glitter, if you mixed glitter with the sealer and put it on the finished item would the glitter stay on them or rub off?
Well doesn't that just stink? They are a nice shape though, pitty you couldn't save them. The sparkle was just enough and the color looked good with the green glitter. Later Dear ❤
I love your work. I intensely dislike Christmas, and can't stand "Home alone". But your work is great. I'm so sorry to hear that your candle molds had to be cut. That's a real shame. I hope you're having tons of fun on your trip!!
They look like Wedgwood ❤ and the glitter really makes the difference xxx

The snowflake are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Missed the live chat 😣 didn’t get home in time. But! Watched video and I do love the stars 🌟 ❤❤

Despite the mould issues, they turned out gorgeous!! That Zen green is my absolute favorite color!!!!
I love the hint of sparkle on the long candle holders
Try putting the moulds in a glass to hold them upright . Beautiful by the way .

I’ve seen people put them into cups or containers to hold molds that are so soft.
Those tea light holders are very pretty
Very pretty, despite the mold issues. Love the colour.
Hi Claire love these 😍, pitty about the moulds 😢, beautiful shade of green 💚, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
lovely set, really love the snowflake holders
Oh how sad when you have a cut a mold 😢but they loook beautiful 🤩 I think I will get some for myself especially the snowflakes ❄️ they are adorable I just would use resin and maybe some mold release in the candlestick holders.
They look so pretty Claire. Maybe try warming the wax you use to seal and pouring that down into the mould.🫶
shame about the candle moulds. they all turned out amazing claire ❤ id try the candle moulds again with resin, you never give up ❤❤
Very pretty. Sad that you had to lose your molds. Would love to see those beautiful snowflakes in a glittery or pearly white.
Put the mold in a cup with salt or rice in it to keep it stable while the resin sets.
I didn't see comments for previous video. I don't know if you can get diamond glaze out of America but I find it amazing for sealing resincrete. Gives it a beautiful shine besides!
Armor all works wonders also
Use glitter on them mix in that resin stuff I'm sure it looks more better with glitter and also clear glitter too and any colors in glitter
For the one that broke, it would look great with a Kintsugi-type repair ⭐️
Ohhhhh yes yes it would 🤩🤩🤩🤩
That's what I was thinking! Gold would look so pretty with that green
Despite the molds having to be cut to get the candlesticks out, this is a successful video. Love the snowflake tealight holders, and the candlesticks are pretty. The glitter adds a nice touch.
Yes yes and yea
Very pretty, despite epic mold failure ❤️
Ohhh, so sorry about those tea light molds, Claire! 😢 I just gasped when you showed what happened to the candlestick molds. 😲 BUT, they turned out so beautiful! They definitely look Christmasy! Those snowflake tea lights are gorgeous! LOVE THEM! 😍💕
I've had molds like that, just a little bit wobbly. But I always have some plastic solo cups on stand by just in case...
Candle stick molds are a very nice design though. Love the snowflake mold ❤ travel safely
Thanks Claire for the mention … blooming shame about the moulds
Think about leaving a comment on their place on Amazon so people know that Jasmante (sp) cannot be used. But the tea light was so pretty!
I bought these same moulds from Temu. My husband couldn't de-mould mine either. I ended up using cooking spray inside the mould. It slipped easily afterwards.
Beautiful, sorry about your molds.❤❤❤
Absolutely Beautiful Claire ❤ I love the color 😍 So sorry they were crappy molds ❤

Oh no you went to battle with them moulds. Hope they were not too expensive.
Next time... You come across this problem, get Tim to pop some air into the mold from an air compressor!! works like magic but make sure you hang onto it cause the mold will go flying!! Love the end result despite the damage!
Thank yooooo xx we do not have an air crompresser sadly 😢
That's unfortunate, I watched a guy do this on another RUclips channel and it worked like a charm!
Did you try cool soapy water? It helps break the seal.
❤
I bought 3 of them and used plaster. Broke many but still have the moulds in one piece.
Ohhhhh ... how did you get them out ?? Just stretch the silicone ?
It was far from easy. I put the moulds into warm soapy water. The warmth made the mould more stretchy and soft and the soapy water helped the the mould over itself. Jesmonite is so expensive here in NZ so have never used it and I don't have a deep pour resin so plaster it was.
I really like that color. Do you think that glitter sprinkling would work with Resin Crete? I like the subtlety
that mold should be in two halfs, nevertheless they turn out very pretty
😮😮
Wonder if Wendy over at Toonpish has tried these molds and had the same issue demolding?🤔🤷
I have the same molds and they are super hard to get off. My husband had a hard time getting them off too. We sprayed alcohol on the outside, or you could put them in soapy water to flip inside out.
They look beautiful. Do you need to seal the jesmonite to put tea lights in them? Thank you 😊
If you had cut it in a straight line it would have been salvageable as many silicone moulds actually come apart (like super intricate candle moulds) so keep that in mind next time but the end is worth it
I think they turned out gorgeous!!! Sorry you lost your molds. Thank you. 😊😊

What a bummer about the mold, but at least the results are stunning.
With Jesmonite, can you spray mold release first, then use alcohol to de-mold them?
Do you think putting mold release in before you pour the jesmenite?
These are so cute!
Could you use the successful piece and make your own silicone mold from it?
Another random thought, do you have access to an air compressor? In the past when I have had things get stuck in molds, shooting air down the sides have actually made the piece shoot out of the mold.
@jencstephens5452 ohhhh yes I was totally contemplating making my own mould from the taller one for sure 🤩🤩🤩 and no sadly I do not have one but I know exactly what you're describing I've seen that done loads
This is a really great idea to make her own!!
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Welllll..... perhaps the husband has been wanting one? With Christmas around the corner, it would be a nice gift that I am sure he would he happy to share with you 😉
@@jencstephens5452 ahhhh ha ha Jen - It would be mine - I am the tool holder in this house ha he could borrow it for sure lol
So cute. Have you got the link for the snowflake tealight moulds as I couldn't find them on your amazon shop x
Heyyyyy lovely ... oh I just checked they definitely are linked in my storefront under Christmas silicone moulds..
Gutted you had to cut the mold. With the glitter, if you mixed glitter with the sealer and put it on the finished item would the glitter stay on them or rub off?
Maybe before you do anything else you can make new molds from your poured candle stick holders.
Yessss this was mentioned and its such a good idea 😍😍😍😍😍
There gorgeous Claire. It's a shame about the molds .😊❤
Cold water?
Well, crap, that's too bad that the molds sucked. The result is amazing though. Love them all. Again, yep, that's my color, too.
Too bad about the molds, these turned out beautiful 😍
Awwww...it's too bad you had to cut the candle stick molds. 🥺. Maybe you'll find a better mold. 😊
Pity about the mould, the result is still gorgeous!
Well doesn't that just stink? They are a nice shape though, pitty you couldn't save them.
The sparkle was just enough and the color looked good with the green glitter.
Later Dear ❤
That's such a shame about those candlestick molds. Love the snowflake ones.
I ended up buying the snowflake molds. Lol. All your fault. Lol. Hahaha
I love your work. I intensely dislike Christmas, and can't stand "Home alone". But your work is great. I'm so sorry to hear that your candle molds had to be cut. That's a real shame. I hope you're having tons of fun on your trip!!
maybe you could put it in a cup to hold it straight.
Too bad you had to cut the mold. They would look amazing in Christmas red next to the Christmas green.
That's awful about the mold and the candlestick breaking. Those little tea light holders came out really cute though!
Uiiiiii....Die Form ist zu dünn! 😳
Ditto on the moulds, I used mine with concrete. No luck getting it out.🥹🥹
