I can’t thank you enough for your willingness to share set-backs with us. Other crafters only show “clipped” versions of videos that make beginners FRUSTRATED when our “what-nots” don’t pop out perfect!
She did that in another project but found that unless you store the tent properly it gathers dust they goes all over once you open it. I know that sounds like a no brainer but apparently not. Lol
You are so busy and talented. You paint, pour resin, make molds, test paints and other materials. You also make videos and get them ready to post. On top of that you have the puppies you care for, as well a wild birds you look after and feed. And a job - I believe you said nursing. How do you do it? I am amazed especially since you have such a pleasant, fun and upbeat personality. Kudos to Julie.
I'm so impressed with you Julie. I'd be scared of failing and never even try. You're really amazing and I love hearing you talk out your thoughts and ideas. Can't wait to see the coasters with this mold. 😃
I really do enjoy your vids. In fact I've binged on quite a lot of them, and saved a few for reference. I swore I'd never go back on Facebook, but it looks like the best way to connect with you. Much love! You are so inspiring. Exactly what I am looking for.
You are such an inspiration! You remind me of that children's story about the little train going uphill saying, "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can" until he gets all the way to the top!
I really love the thickness of these blanks! When I make my coasters, I really do prefer them thick as these! This was a very informative video! I really love how your mould turned out and I think it was a great idea sealing it using plasticine for the bottom. 😊
Thank you for showing how you make these. My husband and I were just talking the other day about making my own molds. You did a great job explaining and showing how to do this. I also would suggest to use PlayDough (which is softer) to make the bottom. I cant wait to try this myself. I also just love watching and listening to you. You are a great teacher. Thanks again.
The liquid in each container won’t dry as they’re not mixed together. Try acetone & paper towels. Then soap and water. Big job, but I’d be trying to save those containers too. Absolutely loving your resin and silicone videos. Very exciting to see them pop up.
Your videos are so inspiring! I love that you do it all on air. Also, that you've branched out into resins and mold making. So informative. I just wish some of the supplies were easier to find in the US. Thank you for sharing!
I bought a coaster mole from ArtResin and that is how they were 😕 they were gracious and sent me a new one and it was the same, sooo, I ordered one of yours, just patiently waiting for it to arrive here in Canada!🥰
I actually like the blanks with the texture at the start. I think in different colors it would look good. They are simple and casual for every day. Sometimes I think that is what I like the most. edit: This mold looks better than the first one
The plastercene will get softer but needs a lot of kneading like when you make bread dough, great video enjoyed your process,. Kids play dough might be a good alternative but it does go hard if left exposed to the air
If you take the 6 coasters put them in a mold frame then pour a thin layer of epoxy to seal them all together, when dry then pour the silicone over that to make your mold you won't have any edges that have to be clipped off they will be smooth, Hope this helps!
Awesome. Thanks for making. I have had silicone mix for a while. Expensive so i have made a couple of replacements (bead for painting & foot for clamp) i have been wanting to make my own silicone mold for coasters. Thanks for making this.
when working with play you have to treat it like dough and work with it for about 5 to 10 minutes sometimes then it becomes very soft you're on the right path I love your videos
I really enjoy watching your tutorials. I think its great when you admonish yourself when things aren't ready but I like watching the little steps too. Thank You for sharing your tips and tricks. It has helped me. 💜
Hi Julie!! 👋😎👋 Much better sized mold this time, since it made the coverage of the backs thicker. Yeah!! I had a couple of thoughts, as I normally do. What if you found some plastic lids that are slightly larger than you want your geode molds to be and squirted your silicone into them. You could vary the width, or thickness, of the edges away from the plastic lids to make your molds. This way you would keep the sizes of your molds all relatively the same. You could also judge the depth of your molds based upon the height of the plastic lids. You could then lay them inside a single mold like you did today. For removing bubbles, do you have a tool in the shop that vibrates a fair amount? You could place it on the tabletop so that it vibrates the silicone. This would help bring bubbles to the surface. Lastly, if you have an exacto knife, you could use it to trim the silicone film away before you remove the blank. This will give you a good pattern to follow, and an excellent edge to your silicone. God bless Julie and lots of love!!! 🧡💙👩🦳️💜💛
Hi there I’m new to your channel 🙋🏻♀️ with the pink silicone mat you can use hot glue around the caulk to keep the resin from flowing out. You are amazing by the way! You’re so sweet to go through everything in so much detail and sharing your ideas. Thank you! ♥️🧿♥️☺️
Well done Julie, the mold looks really good. You can get awesome silicone stirring sticks from Let's Resin - three in a pack and they just wipe clean with your wipes after use - less bubbles too :)
a standard canvas works well for covering as well and the 2" ones work really well, especially if you have a bunch in stock they can be Finished or Unfinished
That and the plasticine could probably been a little thicker. But definitely warmer, that's the one thing I've always liked about plasticine, is how soft it gets in your hands when you work with it.
To get clean edges, what about trying a craft knife to slice the extra off before unmolding? You would slice between the blank and the mold. Would that be easier than going back after to clean up the edges? I can't wait for the navy blue and the red! I can't wait to see you use this new mold! Love your passion and tenacity! Take care and stay safe! Thanks!!!
I make sculptures out of Sculpey clay. It stays lovely and soft once it’s conditioned, which you can do by kneading or feeding through a pasta machine. It stays soft until it’s baked. I use an acrylic roller to roll it flat. I think it would be perfect for this.
I'd be wondering if the molds all actually hold the same amount of resin. If one is just a little off in total volume from the others, you won't get the same depth. Wouldn't it be easier to just measure the depth after you've poured? Ty for showing us this process. It's a very nice looking mold! I like it a lot better than the other DIY molds people show.
I just Love ❤️ how you keep trying something till you get it perfect. I think the might interest you I saw Petra using a flower mold by Molds and Shapes that had a coaster stand with it. Have you seen that one? I can see you coming up with a design like that because you are truly creative
Great job. First, your tray sides are made from corrugated plastic sign board. Second , please be very careful with the cuticle trimmer. If it gets away from you it may well cut into your mold where you do not want it to. Looking forward to seeing your first pour in your new mold. I hope it is exactly what you want. Good luck with it. 😺❤🤗💕
I’m glad it turned out better this time. How about if you rolled the rolling pin over the top maybe it would cut around the edges. Keep it up your doing a good job Julie. 😊 thanks
What about using a scalpel to cut around the edges. Wouldn't it be easier to trim with the coasters still in the mold? Your mold looks really nice. Just a little trim and perfect.
The weighing would work.. except for one problem.. the moulds you made with the silicone caulk are not all the same size.. you would be better off making a single mould with the caulk.. using it to make 6 blanks ( cus then the weighted resin would work as it is the same size every time) then using those blanks to make your main mould.. because some of your caulk moulds are smaller than the others ..so that amount of resin in the smaller moulds will make them thicker than the others Also the roughy oil slick.. you are burning the resin with the torch.. that’s why it’s discoloured on top like an oil slick or trail and you have a rough bit
@@tamaraclapper logn necked lighter cus its a considerably lower temperature than a torch flame.. or a spritx of rubbing alcohol.. if its something deep but relatively small you can use a pressure pot
Ah, old school Julie! You were a natural right from the start! You were born to create beautiful art and teach people how to create! 😁👍
I have little net tents for covering picnic dishes, I use them to cover my resin to dry.
Do you think modeling clay would work? It wouldn't get hard.
I use them too! Mine are like little parasols, so cute. Dust is so frustratingly furry 🔬

I liked what she taught her kids about trying. That and thinking of these as a challenge to overcome and not be beaten. Yep, good lessons for us.
I really do enjoy your vids. In fact I've binged on quite a lot of them, and saved a few for reference. I swore I'd never go back on Facebook, but it looks like the best way to connect with you. Much love! You are so inspiring. Exactly what I am looking for.

PLAY DOUGH?? KOOL..PLEASE LET ME KNO HOW YOUR PROJECT WENT..THANKS🤩
I love what I learn from you. I saw a women using lego building blocks to build her frame.
Omigosh, Steve- I laughed so hard with the corn starch bit! I have seen someone do it successfully with the dish soap.😊
I love the way you are talking after getting a beautiful piece
Thank you so much
Blessing from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Thank you. It is so interesting to see how molds are made. 😊
Wow you've got guts to do over and over till is the best thing
Aside being very talented you are such fun and down to earth, great sense of humor, keep it up !!
Having the textured side would look pretty doing multi coloured coasters xx
You have more energy in one video that I can muster in a week. :) carpe diem!
I’ve very much enjoyed watching your process. Love watching your videos
Thanks for detailed steps to make a mould. ❤
You’re so much fun to watch! I get a chuckle from some of the comments that you make! 💗

I don't even care that much about silicone molds or wild paintings. You just have a very nice personality, and your videos are relaxing. Thank you :)
@Alan Adan what does that have to do with the video and why are you hacking ppl? The sketch is next lvl bro
Just now seeing this video
Wd love to do this. So much fun
You don't give up with anything, do you? And you surely got solution that will work beautifully after all.
Cheer!
I bought a coaster mole from ArtResin and that is how they were 😕 they were gracious and sent me a new one and it was the same, sooo, I ordered one of yours, just patiently waiting for it to arrive here in Canada!🥰
Brilliant to be able to make your own
I actually like the blanks with the texture at the start. I think in different colors it would look good. They are simple and casual for every day. Sometimes I think that is what I like the most. edit: This mold looks better than the first one
I loved the texture too.
I would think the texture would be nice to keep coasters from sliding.
This is a good one Julie ,well done , love your perseverance, you never give up
Julie you got this! Julie you are amazing 🤩
Oh wow....soooo good Julie. Love your passion n excitement as you work. Thx again. Good on you! 👏😊🌸
I love how you never give up. Very creative. I really enjoyed this demonstration. I had my fingers crossed.

I had the same idea and did it yesterday. Hope it works
@@PouringYourHeartOut I hope you try it
U do such beautiful work. Tnx 4 sharing. If u wanted 2 do a helographic coaster mold how would u do it
Great information on mold making
Can't wait til you try other shapes of mold creations.
Awesome. Thanks for making. I have had silicone mix for a while. Expensive so i have made a couple of replacements (bead for painting & foot for clamp) i have been wanting to make my own silicone mold for coasters. Thanks for making this.
when working with play you have to treat it like dough and work with it for about 5 to 10 minutes sometimes then it becomes very soft you're on the right path I love your videos
I now use only the fiberglass reinforced silicone mats for anything that heats up. Saved me from sooooo much wasted effort & materials ❤️
Thank you so much for all of your time and effort! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for showing this. I was on the hunt for stuff to make me a silicone mold and this was exactly what I wanted.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials. I think its great when you admonish yourself when things aren't ready but I like watching the little steps too. Thank You for sharing your tips and tricks. It has helped me. 💜
I think I need a cuppa and a nap now! But you are one clever lady. Riveting stuff.
So happy you did this video and great job!
Beautiful and shinny mold ❤️🇩🇰
Looks great.

Great job
I’m going to try this, thanks
This is fantastic. I appreciate the knowledge and I now have a better application for these molds after seeing how it’s done
That was awesome thanks for the share
its called core flute..fantastic craft product
Well done Julie, the mold looks really good. You can get awesome silicone stirring sticks from Let's Resin - three in a pack and they just wipe clean with your wipes after use - less bubbles too :)
Mine arrived today, they're great quality x
a standard canvas works well for covering as well and the 2" ones work really well, especially if you have a bunch in stock they can be Finished or Unfinished
I was thinking a baking sheet would work, too, if you don't mind not seeing them cure.
Wonderful
If you run a heat gun or hair dryer over the Plastercine quickly before you press your blank in, it will soften up..
That and the plasticine could probably been a little thicker. But definitely warmer, that's the one thing I've always liked about plasticine, is how soft it gets in your hands when you work with it.

Take care and stay safe! Thanks!!!
Ill give that a try :)
That's just what I was thinking. And if you go slowly and carefully, with a very sharp, new blade, you could get clean edges.
Wow, that’s amazing ❤
Yeah you did it, now I got to wish me luck
You are getting me into trouble! I am now adding to watching your videos 🤣
I make sculptures out of Sculpey clay. It stays lovely and soft once it’s conditioned, which you can do by kneading or feeding through a pasta machine. It stays soft until it’s baked. I use an acrylic roller to roll it flat. I think it would be perfect for this.
I to would be so afraid of it not turning out , especially on a tutorial lol. I think you did great on this mold. I want to buy one.
Appreciate you thank you so much for sharing
good idea measuring weight of resin.
I'd be wondering if the molds all actually hold the same amount of resin. If one is just a little off in total volume from the others, you won't get the same depth. Wouldn't it be easier to just measure the depth after you've poured?
Ty for showing us this process. It's a very nice looking mold! I like it a lot better than the other DIY molds people show.
Thank You For Sharing .👍
Polymer clay - sculpey 3 (sculpey III) It's soft unlike plasticine. It doesn't air dry.
I just Love ❤️ how you keep trying something till you get it perfect. I think the might interest you I saw Petra using a flower mold by Molds and Shapes that had a coaster stand with it. Have you seen that one? I can see you coming up with a design like that because you are truly creative
I can see Christmas ornaments made with these if they are made small and thin
That’s a wonderful idea! Thank you.
Thank you so much for your good and helpful video. It's really a great help for me because I want to try make my own molds🙏❤️
Great job. First, your tray sides are made from corrugated plastic sign board. Second , please be very careful with the cuticle trimmer.

Have you tried a hair dryer to slightly soften the.clay to make it press in some areas? Or put block in oven at low settings.
I’m glad it turned out better this time. How about if you rolled the rolling pin over the top maybe it would cut around the edges. Keep it up your doing a good job Julie. 😊 thanks
But still a great video I’m amazed with your creativity
great job
Awesome thank you for sharing I'll be trying this for sure! I love making my own molds!😁💯👏🏽👏🏽‼❤
Makes me want to try making a coaster mold myself
Amazing 😮😮😮
Petra uses a rubber silicone for damming up your blanks
It seems to work for her. Check it out. Still they turned out good.
I-Gum x
can you link her here?
I actually like that textured side! my husband always complains that my coasters stick to the wet glass and that might actually prevent that.
What about using a scalpel to cut around the edges. Wouldn't it be easier to trim with the coasters still in the mold?
Your mold looks really nice. Just a little trim and perfect.
What if you butter the backs like tile and stick them down. First. Love your videos and the little critters
Very cool🤗
You are amazing!
Couldn't you pour a bit of the liquid silicone mold stuff in the bottom of the mold you made your blanks in to get rid of the texture?
Brilliant demo, thanks so much
I haven't used it yet, but I found a nice thick silicone placemat in the baby department at Target.
Great job. I have to try this for sure. Can't wait to see the geodes in them. Hugs!
This is so incredibly neat to learn about your process! I can’t way to have some free time to try some ideas out. Thank you!
hi well done again. what did you use to make the box frame please?
Terrific
The weighing would work.. except for one problem.. the moulds you made with the silicone caulk are not all the same size.. you would be better off making a single mould with the caulk.. using it to make 6 blanks ( cus then the weighted resin would work as it is the same size every time) then using those blanks to make your main mould.. because some of your caulk moulds are smaller than the others ..so that amount of resin in the smaller moulds will make them thicker than the others
Also the roughy oil slick.. you are burning the resin with the torch.. that’s why it’s discoloured on top like an oil slick or trail and you have a rough bit
You took the words right out of my mouth. I will comment above for a request for more ‘lives’.
So how do you get the bubbles out without a torch?
@@tamaraclapper logn necked lighter cus its a considerably lower temperature than a torch flame.. or a spritx of rubbing alcohol.. if its something deep but relatively small you can use a pressure pot
I wonder if you could Vaseline the bottom of the blanks to create a seal and prevent bleeding?
Try using a blow dryer to warm up the plasticine before pressing into it
Have you tried placing the rolled out plasticine in a warm oven for a few minutes and then pressing the blanks down in it?
