⚠️ God has said in the Quran:
🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )

@@OurUpcycledLife thanks
Did you know that you can make 3D Replica's as well? You make a ball out of the silicone and then place your object all the way into the ball so that it is enclosed. Let it cure and then remove it. Once it's removed you dust the mold with cornstarch and pack the 3D mold with air dry clay (or even more of the silicone mixture), let it cure and remove it. if you go to the craft store and into the cake decorating section you can get an idea of what a 3D mold looks like and go from there. I refinish/repair furniture and when I get a piece that has a missing applique or embellishment of some kind, I will mold an existing one so that I can make a repair that matches.
So, in removing the 3d object, I "assume" you have to cut it out? Make a straight cut somewhere on the mold that is in an inconspicuous area? Thanks for the tip!
@@anitaziven9438 I made one side of the silicone thicker than the others and that's where I cut it open at.
Great tip! Thx! 👏🏻
Clever! 👍
👍🏼
You dont have to add as much cornstarch if you want a more flexible mold. I use this recipie for my 3d molds, and I learned that the quantity of cornstarch added determines the stiffness of the finished silicone. For me, less cornstarch and a more flexible mold works best. But its a handy tip to know that theres no set consistency you have to acheive with this recipie, the silicone still sets (it just might take a bit longer) and you can acheive the best results for you.
Great tips!
Can these moods be used for resin molds? :)
Why add cornstarch at all?
@@DianaMoon11428It makes the silicone workable. Otherwise its too sticky to use.
@@RebeccaKershaw-mr1sf I would imagine so? Depends if the resin gets hot? If not, then yes
You tube needs an amazing icon in addition to its like button because you’re creativity and DIY approach is AMAZING!!!
Awww thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed
Make a pancake of corn starch on your mixing surface first, then squirt the silicone into the middle of it. Wear nitrile gloves and slowly fold the cornstarch into the silicone, gradually adding more cornstarch and kneading until the consistency is not sticky. Saves you from ruining your forks and messing up your rings.
It's a great technique for making inexpensive home made molds. I'm a model builder and have been using it for years for making quick and inexpensive molds for low detail parts.
Instead of air dry clay, use plaster. Wet the mold with water mixed with a few drops of dish soap, pour in the plaster. Vibrate the filled mold gently to release any air bubbles trapped on the mold surface, under the plaster. The result is highly detailed castings of the original part. Soak the plaster castings (when fully dry) with watered down PVA or white glue, set aside to dry. This strengthens the plaster, making it a tad more durable.
Some really great tips I appreciate you taking the time and writing them here for my followers
Thank you for this video, I'd heard of the technique before and rushed right out for silicone and corn starch but then forgot all about it. The molds you made are great and 2 of them would make great barret bases.
I work with polymer clay , since this is silicone can I bake my piece right in these molds?
@WHJeffB Really appreciate you writing this out and adding to the video. Thank you for your advice 👍😎
I mix the PVA into cement at about 10%. Cement becomes amazingly strong. Likewise for plaster
I need a stone mold for soap making…Would this work?
I've done little dolls, figurines, bubblegum machine plastic characters(Pokemon,dogs,cats, whimsical creatures,ect...)!
So many ideas and possibilities thanks for watching
A quick hint on preventing the object from sticking to the mold. I spray some dish soap (mixed with water) onto the objects you are making molds of. Just spray some on, then let it dry. When you make the mold, the object is guaranteed to NOT stick to the mold.
It is usually not a problem but every so often the object is made of metal that wants to stick to the silicone. Certain resins and paint can have that quality too.
Great tips
Thank you so much for this!!! I thrifted an intricate mirror from the 1800s and because of the age, a corner broke. I've been trying to figure out how to make a silicone mold of the other corner to repair it. This is perfect timing! Thanks again!
I repaired an antique mirror about 25 years ago. I made a mold out of modeling clay, and then poured plaster into it, which worked OK, but it was hard to keep it from distorting. This would have been much more stable. And air dry clay would have been sturdier... less breakable. Also it's very carve-able.
@@mosart7025 Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will be a big help to me. 😁
Yes that would work perfect for this project
❤
I had the same problem once, so I made a mold out of resin tape and fastened it to the actual mirror. Then I poured epoxy resin into the tape mold, being careful not to over fill it. After it cured I removed the tape mold n painted silver on the back. You can't even tell it was broken.
I have and I love them, I have also filled them with hot glue when I ran out of clay! I do use gorilla hot glue so I've never had a problem. And at my craft shows I use plaster in them and have a place where children can paint them. They are so versatile.
Yes works great for that also!
WOW
Another great video from you the amazing Crafter thank you so much for sharing with us from the bottom of my heart I do appreciate it, I take care of my mom who has dementia and who has been very sick and when you're isolated being a caregiver very few things bring you Joy but Deidre you have done that through your crafting videos
Chin up❤️
Oh I am so glad I can bring a little sparkle into you day! This is exactly why I love my channel and my community ♥️ Crafting for me is a way to relax and find a little peace and quiet while creating. I’m happy you can find that while watching me work away. Take care of yourself and what a kind soul you are to take care of your Mom in a difficult time. Sending you lots of love xo🌸💗 Deidre
@@OurUpcycledLife you are so wonderful, I just put the reminder on my subscription. ❤️🧸
Bless you for your love and care of you Mum. My dear husband is in residential care with dementia, and although I know that he is wonderfully looked after, I struggle. You are amazing - I send love to you both X
@@chrisberry9017 thank you so much I'll send prayers to you and yours, my husband passed away last year April 18th my brother passed away March 20th this year it has been a rough two years for my family we have lost over 12 members
Deidre, u are a truly amazing crafter. Don't stop..I couldn't afford the expensive moulds. You are helping Us save so much & still making a way for us to do what we love. Thanks, you are an answer to prayer!!
This is exactly what I try to achieve on my channel! Affordable ways we can craft without breaking the bank ❤️ glad you are enjoying Brenda
Well said!
You remind of my art elementary school art teacher; so talented that it all looked easy and so upbeat that everyone wanted to try it out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Aww how sweet! ❤️
Just for the money you can save it’s well worth the time to make dozens of molds. Our homes are filled with thousands of objects to duplicate in such a short time. Think of the savings from shipping alone, not to mention the high cost of the molds themselves. You can customize your artwork to fit your style and motif or personalize it for a special someone! Can’t wait to try it.
Exactly!!
Life is too short to try out all the things you are showing on your channel.
This is again an amazing one. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
Lol ! Lots of crafting ideas and not enough time ❤️
@@OurUpcycledLife Let's become cats. They have nine lives (although in some countries only seven)
How great that was to watch! Thank you so much, will be finding my baby doll heads to make molds of. Put them in natural knot holes in wood pieces found in old dead trees 🌳 that are falling apart. This is going to be awesome, wondering how I would do this now thanks to you I know! Thanks again. Shirl K - Texas
What a cool idea! Do you just place them around for people to find, or do you sell them for others to use? Do you take photos and show them on Instagram?
Oh that sounds fun!!!
From TRINIDAD was about to order some silicone molds.....i just happen to see this video while having my coffee...THANK YOU THANK YOU
So glad it was helpful thanks for watching Debbie
I have never made any molds before. But now I want to try.
It’s a fun DIY project thanks for watching Shawn
You. Are. Awesome. This is my favorite RUclips Channel and you, Deidre, are my favorite crafter. You think of the needs of us crafters looking for alternative ways to do our projects and crafts! I always get so inspired to think differently about what I can add to my projects, and I save so much money because of your genius crafting tips and tricks! I am truly grateful and appreciative for your perspective. You're humble and show mistakes you've made but end up turning them into gorgeous art! Every project I've tried that you have done has worked. (Starting with decoupage tricks to every transfer method I've watched on your channel) And one more thing...when you say "hello RUclips friends" I just love it! I feel like you're my crafting buddy! When my roommate hears your voice they say, "Are you hanging out with Deidre again?" Of course! I can't get enough!!! Many, many thanks from a RUclips friend in Atlanta!
Thanks so much Melissa for the kind words so glad you’re enjoying all of my content I try to keep my videos short into the point an easy for any stage a DIYer is at and I love having lots of RUclips Crafting friends
@@OurUpcycledLife dont suppose you know if sawdust and pva glue sticks to the silicone? Ive gotta make half a walnut mould as deciratiin for slingshot. Tried bath silicone and it stuck ti the walnut
@@OurUpcycledLife superglue sticks too. Didnt expect that??
Deidre, I'm thinking your brain never takes a rest. You always come up with the most brilliant ideas... You're amazing! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!
So glad you are enjoying 😊
Can’t wait to see what you do with these.
Lots of possibilities to do lots of air dry clay DIY’s
Very different for me. I watched the video to the end. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Woo! My fiancee had a half used tube of silicone caulking material left over from re-sealing our bathroom and was going to have to toss it soon. I used this method an it worked well! (though the pigment I used was some of a 1lb pound bag of glow pigments from an old resin table top project so figured why not, recycling is best and everything is better when it glows in the dark! Lol)
That is awesome!
This is awesome! I have an old frame that needs repaired where “carved” flowers are missing. This type of mold will be perfect to replicate the flowers.
Sure will
Yes. I have plaster gilt frames like that, and am wondering if I can repair them myself!
I don't know ..you'll have to experiment, but make a silicone mold of a non broken wood embellishments then use saw dust and wood glue mix to make the cast of the piece. You should be able to sand and stain the new casting like wood. It would be worth it if it works.
The hardware store is my favorite craft store
Me too!!
Desire, if I didn't have to work today I'd be in my craft room making molds! I've already bought the silicone & have a mental list of things I want to duplicate but was hesitant about the best process to make the molds. After watching this video I'm not hesitant anymore! Thank you for inspiring me!
Perfect!! That is exactly wanted!! Give someone confidence to make there own!
@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you!
I think the frame from the dollar store was my favorite and I would love to see what that looks like if you made a piece of resin out of that mold. I bet you would come up with some interesting designs. You’re very talented. Thank you for sharing
I don’t work with resin but I have heard that these moulds work really well with resin
You always have so many great ideas to help save money and inspire me to try new things! Thank you! I’m going to make molds of some of my mother’s costume jewelry and make crafts!
Great idea!!!
What a great idea! I have tons of my mom's costume jewelry. Thanks!
Wow I can’t believe how lucky I am. I have been looking for a inexpensive way of making a mold. I have borrowed a US Air Force military grave marker to mold and place the replica on our Veteran memorial wall. Ty and I will be at the hardware store this weekend. Can’t wait 🤞🏻💕💕
Have fun!
amazing! you are right I am looking at all the things in my house that can be texture! 🙂
So many things that we can make molds from thanks for watching
I'm soooo happy this was recommended. I wanted to make a tile silicon mold with shells and this just taught me how

Awesome passing on of knowledge..thanks 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed Linda
Brilliant well done 👏👏

I used to make silicone molds from only silicone, but they were stiff and shapes were not easy to remove. Your potato flour method makes the molds flexible. Thanks for sharing this idea. I was already put off using my molds. Now I'll try to make them again. Best regards from Poland.
So glad it was helpful thanks so much for watching I appreciate i
So great u tried this method and showed us how it works. I’ve seen it in videos, but there are so many fakes out there -wasn’t sure it was real. Thank you for showing the easy technique. You are such a great teacher!! I love your crafts!
Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for watching
How beautiful and clever!

Deidre, this is a wonderful idea, I use clay mold all the time, I will try this pretty soon. Thank you for sharing, Have a wonderful day, take care and stay safe !
Glad you enjoyed 🤗
I'm so glad you made some molds I've been trying to make them haven't had any luck and yes you're right they're very expensive can't afford them. So I'm going to try your recipe see if it works thank you so much
Good luck!
Really cool!
Oh My Goodness, Deidre! I’m soooo excited to do this! I’ve wanted to get some silicon molds but just couldn’t bring myself to invest in them. This is the solution- thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed
Just wow!! Yes, have to get silicone now😂
Can you tell me which type of air dry clay you use?
I’m always ready to be amazed when a knew video comes out. You never disappoint
I will definitely be trying this. I have never worked with air dry clay. You make it look so easy. Thanks for another budget saving idea.
Glad you enjoyed
I'm excited to try making these molds. Thank you for the tutorial!
Fantastic tutorial - thank you
This is great! Molds cost so much and I have invested a small fortune in them but now, with your tutorial, I can make my own. Thank you so much for this tutorial! 😊👍💛

Amazing idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for this great tutorial :)
I`ve made molds with my glue gun before and they turned out really well but this is something I will definitely try out.
Thanks for reminding me I need to make a few molds. Yes, I've used the Silicone+cornstarch method and thought it set up too quickly. I've also tried straight Silicone into dish soapy water for large (textural) items. I preferred the latter but will give cornstarch another try. Again, thanks for sharing and reminding me I have a few projects to do, lol.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
Can’t wait to try this. I have so many things to use. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it so much. This is exactly what I need! You’re awesome!!!
Thank you so much Deidra! I was just about to spend an Arm and a leg first on Molds and then on a Make your own Silicone Mold Kit. I recently started experimenting& working with Polymer clay and Epoxy resin. Of course I needed molds and like you said they can be very expensive, especially if you want a variety of them like me. I thought there's gotta be a better way like to make my own Silicone molds.And I found a couple different kits that come with the solutions to mix and make the silicone and again that's not cheap either. I was about to spend 50 bucks on this DIY kit and they don't give you a lot unless you want to create miniature molds. Anyway thank you for this awesome tutorial,the tips and advice, I appreciate it bunches!!!!!
Glad it was so helpful Jackie thanks for watching and happy crafting
Did it work for epoxy resin?
OMG Game Changer!!! Thank you Deidra! Do you have to leave the mold design piece in the silicone while it is drying, you cannot just stamp it?
I let it dry ❤️
I love this - thank you
Your welcome 🤗
You are such a treasure! I’m obsessed with your channel!

Corn starch in the silicone! That's certainly interesting!! By the way, Silyl Modified Polymer Adhesive Sealant can also be used to make moulds and stamps. It has a number of advantages making it better than silicone. Firstly, it doesn't stink. Note that Silyl Polymer adhesive which you also apply with a caulking gun does not require thickening; it's thicker than silicone. The major reason I stopped using silicone was not because it was soft or because it stank. It was because it shrinks while drying. It is like latex rubber, and I needed it to retain the same size as the original object so I could press paper between the original and the mould (to produce an embossing. Note that silicone doesn't stick to washing up liquid, so if you coat the object first you have a better chance of it not sticking. How do I know this? Basic plumbing, naturally! If you are sealing a pipe or filling the space between tiles in your bathroom, you use washing up liqued to clean it off! I changed however to silyl modified polymer adhesive because although it is a little more expensive, it didn't shrink. Note that with small objects like the ones you used, you hardly notice the shrinkage. But get to making moulds of A6 size, it is noticeable, and with A5 or A4, it is simply intolerable. The mould shrinks to around 1cm smaller. Note that I tried this with standard bathroom silicone. I wonder if corn starch would prevent it from shrinking?. I like the idea of the clay; but I imagine that it would break apart when I try to emboss things with it in either my A3 embosser of my book press. I fear also that as I press the clay into the mould, the mould would stretch meaning that after you pulled it off, the original would be smaller. Here's another tip: silyl polymer adheisve doesn't stick to itself after it has dried, at least if you use different colours and apply a layer of washing up liquid to it. Here's the thing: there's only one thing silicone will stick to reliably: itself. It doesn't matter what you use as a releasing agent.. If you try to make a mould of a mould your efforts are almost inevitably doomed to fail... Modified polymer adhesive/sealant, however, doesn't. So I can make a mould of a mould of a mould!
Does it stick to your hands when you're trying to make molds?
@@happy.homestead To make moulds with either silicone or silyl polymer, I fortunately do't need to touch it. I cut out the size a little larger than the object from a piece of cardboard, I place the cardboard on the adheisve side of sticky paper used to cover books, then I place the object in the cardboard in the place I've cut out and which has a sticky bottom. The next logical step is to paint the object with washing up liquid so that the glue won't stick to iit when it dires. I paint the mould and the cardboard surrounding it and I also don't forget the sticky paper. Then I just apply the caulking gun adhesive by covering it with glue,last of all place a sheet of see through plastic/mylar on the top. This way, I never need to actually touch the silicone. I've got a book press, so these days I put this simple sandwich of cardboard frame, glue, object and clear/sticky paper in the press to mmake sure the glue squishes into every last edge of the object and the . But before I had a book press I would press it from above with a die-cut embosser or use two planks and then place a heavy item on them. There are some additional techniques I need to do to make sure there are no air bubbles around the item and underneath the paper sheets, but anyway I just wait until the whole thing has dried, and then take the whole thing out of the book press, pull off the paper sheets. This is, of course, where the technique gets tricky. If I'm making a mould of a mould.... but it's all over when it dried and you're just making a single mould.
@@happy.homestead You really have to do your best to not touch the glue espeicially silicone which stinks to high heaven! It's not latex which is not corrrosive and is comparatively unsmelly. Silicone sealant is pretty disgusting and will only wash off by attacking it with the most corrosive cleaning alcohols. The cornmeal solution seems like a curious idea, but if it works.
*Another popular name for this specific range of polymer sealants used to make this product is "MS Polymer Adhesives". I've used two different brands and achieved similar results. I had to look this all up, but MS polymer refers to the modified silane/silyl polymer chemical which is combined with other chemicals to produce a relatively odourless adhesive you can (also) make moulds out of. They are seen as the "new" alternative to silicone which is highly toxic.
Hi! Greetings from Vancouver, Canada. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I liked it so much I subscribed right away. My question is: Would these make food-safe molds? I mostly use silicone molds for chocolate making and you are absolutely right - they are expensive. I have found a few at the dollar store, but I'm limited to what the manufacturer wants you to make. If I can make my own chocolate molds the sky's the limit!
So glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. Hope you find lots of great content. This is not food grade
These are great. Thank you 😃
Thanks 😊
How brilliant is this? I can’t wait to try it!!! Thank you for sharing!
I've done these before, but it wasn't great...I don't think I used enough cornstarch, so will follow your tip about pizza dough consistency! (Thank you!)
Can this be used for resin casting?
I don’t use resin so I’m unsure 🌸 thanks for watching
