Just FYI never use store bought dice and use them for molds if you are planing to sell what you make. These dice are made by someone or a company and the font used is more than not under their ownership and copyright. Know some like Chessex whos the bigger dice makers out there have sued people for 'replicating' their dice. The dice in this video do look to be Chessex dice. It's okay if it's for personal use, but if you plan to sell it, you need to make your own master dice you design yourself, with your own font. It's the font used that's the issue most the time.
thats a really good point, thank you for adding that!! font licenses are definitely always a finicky matter, I didnt think about that in regards to dice!
@@_itsmarie maybe add that in the discription as a just in case. When dealing with fonts it's always best to read the license agreement. Many are free to use for products designed for resale, but many are not. Even if the font is generic looking, better to be safe than sorry.
@@TAiiNE I pinned your comment, so it'll be the first one people see!
How do you make your own master dice? I'm starting to get invested in dice making and I wasn't aware of the legalities of fonts until just now so I'm wondering how to make a dice mold with dice without having to buy dice to start with? It's like a paradox.
Are there dice you know of that I can purchase and use for molds where the font is free to use?
@@TAiiNE ahh thank you. With that in mind, I'm assuming all free-to-use fonts are also an option?
honestly this tutorial feels very user-friendly compared to most, where they're using extremely expensive products. thank you for making this, you've saved me a lot of money!!
very happy to hear that! I dont have lots of money myself so it only seemed right to try this haha. glad it helped you!!
@@_itsmarieyes as the person above stated, thank tou for making dice making feel a little more approachable for more people. I thought I had to have a pressure pot to start out with but your video helped me to see I don't need it right away!
Dice molds can be so expensive! But you just showed me how to make it, and it's so easy! Thanks a bunch!
I hope you can make your own mold with this! thanks for watching!
I highly recomment cutting _different_ shapes for guide marks. Because if they’re symmetrical like the ones here, you might mess up the number angles.
Wow. This is awesome! I have not seen someone work with silicon before, and this was very eye-opening. Thank you. The camera shake is understandable, and it was very informative. I absolutely love the energy you bring to the world with this video! Thank you again!
hey thank you so much!! you're too kind, I really appreciate that 💕 I'm glad you found it helpful!
They turned out so pretty! Galaxy is my favorite color scheme too🥰
thank you so much Vanessa!! galaxy stuff is so pretty isnt it? 💖
Thank you I have watched a few tutorials and yours was the best on explaining how to make a two-part mold thank you so much
The little dices look so cute! Need to play dnd together, please! Love how my flowers are poking through the background 🥰 Now I know how to make molds and dices, all thanks to you baby! ♥️
That was great, thanks! First dice mold coming up :). Going to make a 100 side dice as well. Thank you so much.
This is so helpful! I'm starting a new campaign soon and hope I can bring a few sets of custom dice with me :)
ooh I hope theyll turn out well! I bet your team mates will love them! 😍
Could you share where you found the silicone bowl/ramekin you use? I would like to use this since it seems the most straight forward way, all the store I went to I couldn't find it.
This is the best resin dice video ive seen. Thank you!
Thank youso much for this video! I cant afford a pressure pot yet but i have everythibg else that i need to start making my own dice. I was going to asit til i got a pressure pot but this video encouraged me to try it with out the pressure pot! Your dice came out so nice i love the color and the gold flakes in it!
Looks easy, great video. Always wanted to make my own dice. Now to figure out how to make weighted dice for great rolls or gag dice.
Those "matrix" dice are similar to my favorite set so the thumbnail caught my attention. =P I'm about to start in the dice-making hobby. Still trying to make an improvised a pressure chamber with a cooking pot. 😂😅 Once I finish that tool I'll finally start. I'm thinking about making some red and green with gold flakes dice e glitter. Probably a good idea. 😅
good luck with the pressure chamber, would be awesome if it worked! and those dice sound cute. I wanna see when theyre done!
@@_itsmarie I'm gonna show them when theyre done. 4sure😂
thanks for making this, ive been wanting to get into dice making but didnt know where to begin
I know this video is 2 years old but do you remember what (products) you used to make your silicone? I'm impressed at how it didn't stick to your dice
I have been using this tutorial and finally got my mold made! Your video made is so unbelievably easy lol. When it comes to actually making the dice, hav you found yourself needing any kind of mold release spray to get them out? (I didn’t see any in the video)
that's awesome! I'm glad it helped!! 🎉 I have made several dice sets without using a mold release spray, and it works great! the resin pieces are very easy to remove from the mold without any breaking or residue. good luck with making your dice!
@@_itsmarie thank YOU for the incredible tutorial! ❤️ I’m new to resin but was gifted a kit for Christmas and have been dying to use it. I had been struggling to find an approachable moldmaking video but yours was wonderful! I bought the silicone and had a completed mold within two days (mine had a longer cure time)
That was a great tutorial! Thx 😄
glad you like it! 🎉
Wow! Those dice look amazing! Great job@
Thanks to you Marie, this is the best video
Thank you! This is very helpful. I'm going to attempt my own soon too. ❤
One trick to reduce bubbles is about a quarter of the way through cure time, flip the mold over.
I would so love to buy all the silicon and resin stuff and have my own personal molds
I hope you get the chnce to do it! its a fun hobby!
Thank your for your video.
So cool and useful! Thanks for sharing!
Love your tutorial a lot, thanks for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
I messed up my first mold but this is the kind of mold I want!
Thank you for this video! Did you put your dice in a pressure system at all when curing???
thank YOU for watching!! I didn't, because unfortunately I don't have a pressure system yet! I mixed the resin very slowly and used a lighter to get rid of surface bubbles, that worked pretty well. but there is of course the risk of getting bubbles anyway!
do you have links for the products your used? (the silicon and resin specifically)
hey, I made a mold but sadly the top part didn't turn out that good... you can barely see the numbers 😮💨 I might got to much vaseline on it
This is a great video. Thanks so much.
thank you for watching and commenting! much appreciated! 😊
Where can I get the silicone container like that for the mold pour? I only see too big or too small, and then try creating my own from random containers and they suck. Was going to make a silicone container like that but couldn’t even find an object to base it off of and would be back to my original problem, would need a container for it 😂 plz send help
This was super helpful! Thanks!
Great video! It's been super useful but I do have a question.
I've tried to make silicone moulds with a silicone bowl and it's gone okay but not great. Was wondering where you got your silicone thing that you're making the dice mould in this video? Maybe I'm just not looking up the right thing but I can't find anything that works for me 😭
Thank you! I get that struggle, I searched for mine for a while haha. I got mine off of aliexpress, by searching for "silicone cake mold"! Ive seen the same ones on amazon too so maybe youll find one there!!
Will this work with silicone caulk? I’m gonna try to make the caulk super gooey so it pours like yours
hmm thats a good question! I havent tried it but I would imagine that it works too, afterall its just a different kind of silicone! Good luck!!
You are funny. Made me lol. Great tutorial thanx for the content!
Actually, quite a good tutorial. :)
That red mold maker at michaels is good it's 29.99 in washington
Hey, I know it's been a while since you uploaded the video XD But this made me want to try making my own DND Dice too and I was wondering if you know how much Silicon I'd need for a 12,2 x 12,2 x 6,8cm mold? I just bought the same pink pre-mold as you (just as a square instead of a circle) and I can't wait to start~
Where did you get it?
Do you have a prefered epoxy you use to make the dice have weight to them?
Roughly how many ounces of silicone did it take to make this mold? Awesome tutorial. I've been wanting to make my own and not spend $100+ on buying this type of mold.
I used about 7 ounces for the base and 4 ounces for the lid, I hope that helps! good luck with making your own mold and thanks for watching!
Out of each bottle? Or in total?
@@gryffinsyme6357 in total! the ratio depends on which silicone you use, so youll have to calculate that!
This is super useful!
Very helpful and cool! Thanks for the video, definitely gonna make myself some dice with that tutorial :D
Where did you get that pink mold to make your molds I have never seen anybody used one before
Wow this awesome
thank you!!! :^)
Where did you get the container you used?
I got it on aliexpress! but I've found the same one on amazon too!! 😊
what is that pink tub thing that you put the dice in called and where can u get them?
Silly question - but where did you get the cup for the mold making?
I got it from aliexpress! but Ive also seen the same ones on amazon. if you search for "silicone cake mold" you should be able to find it easily!!
Great video, thanks
I have some dice that are hollow. Can I still use this method but say, only cover half the dice, let the mold set, then the rest of it? Do you think that would turn out ok?
Thank you my lady! :)
Curious if you have an idea on how much silicone you actually used for this? I'm ready to make a mold, but I'm concerned now I don't have enough silicone
Also curious as to the cup you used for the mold making here?
I used about 7 ounces for the base and 4 ounces for the lid - I hope that helps! For the cup I used a silicone cake mold, you can usually find similar ones on amazon!
@@_itsmariethat was very helpful! Do you have a recommended distance apart for your dice? I assume you don't want them too close together? And curious if you have an issues with rounded edge dice vs harder edge? Lol
Where do you get the silicone to mix?
on amazon! there are tons of good ones, Id just look for the one with the best reviews ✨
What are the dimensions of the mold you used to create the mold?
What are the dimensions of the bowl you used?
what resin do you use for these? I'm trying to find a good resin but I haven't been successful yet.
I've heard dragon skin is a good silicon brand
ooh I dont know that one yet, Im gonna check it out, thanks!
Where did you get the pink pre-mold?
I bought it from aliexpress by searching for "silicone cake mold"! I believe you can find it on amazon too.
How can i do to put 10 likes
haha I wish that was possible! thank you!
Where can I get the silicon bowl. I can only find curved ones.
Id recommend looking for silicone cake molds, for example on amazon or aliexpress! theyre usually the perfect shape!
How many inches is your silicone mold? I’m looking on Amazon and can’t decide between the 6 or 8 inch silicone cake mold
should i put vaseline all over the mold or just on the base of it?
I would put it all over the mold, just to be safe!
@@_itsmarie ok thanks :)
How much silicone do you need?
about 7 ounces/200 g for the base and 4 ounces/110 g for the lid! but it depends on the containers you use of course.
What's the name of the silicone you use? Great video too! I'm planning to make my own mold soon :)
its from a german brand called LM Kreativ! Id recommend looking at amazon or different sites to find good silicone brands where you live. good luck!! :^)
@it's marie - chaotic arts, crafts and DIYs thank you so much! I appreciate you ❤
How long do you wait to take the mold out and start to work on the lid?
It depends on the type of silicone you use, mine cures after about an hour so I started working on it a few hours later. The safest thing to do is to leave it overnight though!
my d20 sarted floating a bit very stressed right now ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is awesome! Thanks for making this, best tutorial for dice making I've seen. I'm going to combine it with this DIY pressure pot ruclips.net/video/CnzFyiInOZs/видео.html
Why are you using a silicone container? That is not smart to risk expensive product and time. It's a rule, silicone sticks to silicone, in fact silicone is the only thing that will adhere to silicone. USE A LIL GLASS, PLASTIC, METAL CONTAINER SILLY WOMAN! You can find all shapes and sizes at the dollar tree. I use legos so I can build whatever size I need. I seal the bottom with hot glue.
Why are you being so rude?
thanks, I knew that! if you watched the video, I explained that I spread some vaseline on the inside of the silicone container to prevent the silicone from sticking. and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine!
What size container are you using? 4 inch or 6 inch? Love the video! It helped me so much!!
