- First attempt at a one part mold, I thought it was gonna be a complete flop but it actually turned out well XD Can't wait to get these all painted.
I used a silicone mold making rubber. I bought mine from ebay.

I’m starting to get into making molds of clay-sculpted Puppet heads. This is going to be invaluable! Thanks!
Thank you for watching my video Joe, I hope this helps
OMG! I'm loving the accent.
Thank you 😁
SO COOL Gorgeous! I'm trying to learn this, this is exactly the video I needed (I use polymer clay ) Thank YOU for posting this!
Glad it was helpful!
How clever to make your own tails! Love it! love how you use what you have to make what you need instead of getting all upset that you don’t have what you need. Not only are you adorable, sweet and clever, you are very creative as well. I am an old lady and you just make my day and I find myself smiling at you. 😉❤️🫵 OMG, IT’S LIKE GIVING BIRTH ONLY I’VE NEVER DONE THAT. LOL It looks fantastic! Good for you!
Glad to have found your channel when I was researching home made silicone molds....so full of fun, positivity and colors here :)
Thank you very much . I hope in the future to do a two part mold . 😁
@@KoochiWoochiKrafts well, here I tried, there must be something they hide in the instructions "may loose a limb or ear or something" as I demolded it, my little guy lost her ear, broke off .. I feel like laughing about it but feel sorry hahaha
Just a quick tip, draw around the piece you are making the mould of on the base of the box, then contract the box. That way you can freely get into the box to ensure it’s sealed. Then glue your model in last. Raw rice is good
For measuring also! It’s also best to make the box fit closer around the model so that you use less silicone and it will make removing the model from the mould so much easier. You can also dust your mould in talc which will help pull the silicone into small parts of the mould. To prevent bubbles under the chin, I’d coat the inside of the mould with a layer of resin first. Tilt it around and the tap it on the table. Hope this helps. Xx
Thank you Kit, thats a really good idea, I will use that in future. I cant wait to try the chin idea, it always has the worst bubbles xx
One common trick to determine mold volume is using rice rather than water (which must be thoroughly dried) or sand (which can be difficult to clean).
Ooh great idea !
Love your process and energy ❤, those copies came out great, but I do agree with you about the two parts mold, I find them easier to work with
Thanks so much! 😊 and they are so much easier to take out but you do get a lot of overspill
Too pretty. wow.
Thank you
This was amazing thank you! Also your voice is so fun and whimsical ♥️ Love your videos!!
Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the video! I was looking for a good mold making tutorial and your is so both informative and funny XD Love your personality! I think you are underrated and your videos need more love! You are really pretty too by the way!
Thank you so much 😄 glad this video helped
l love whate you do i hope god blese you very much
Thank you Gao!
Very good video and exactly what I was looking for :)
Thank you very much , I’m glad it helped 😁
Question! I accidentally bought plastilina instead of clay that can harden. It is non sulfur, can i still use silicone to make the mold? Thanks in advance. ❤ your video was super informative on the mold making process
Great video! Funny too:) I subscribed!
Thank you so much , I really appreciate the support 😀
What is that amazing tool you lock open to cut mold? I too have a 20 lb Elephant that I need to unmold!😂😂. Thank you in advance.
It’s amazing it’s called a surgical prong or surgical retractor , you can get them on eBay 😂 I wish you luck on demolding that
So you did not put any lubricant or mold release on your original you molded? As well you didn't use any mold release when pouring your resin copy?
I did not use it on my original , but I spray it just before I pour a resin casting.
What did you spray the model with before you poured the resin?

Discovered this video during some research, found it really helpful!
What type of paint would you use on casting resin figures/sculpts?
Glad it was helpful! I just use acrylic craft paint , I let the first layer dry fuller and it gives the other layers something to grab onto , the first layer will look awful though
did you bake the sculpture first ?
I did, I dont know if it would work if the sculpture wasnt baked first
what resin did you use to come out white please
The resin I used is called casting resin :)
Does this 'ruin' the original?
It can do, a lot of the times my originals break when i try to get it out the mold, but I fix them up pretty easily afterwards
Is it filled with resin????
Yes, Its called casting resin
Cant we just use a small box lol
You can do , if it ls cardboard then the silicone can seep through. Also it’s quite hard to get the mold back out of a box that you can’t take apart.
