It actually comes out of the mold shiny. I know some people sand the resin down and then to return the shine, they use a gloss varnish or even a clear nail polish.
@Beadaholique Secondly, the flex molds have that nice wide opening up top which makes insertion easy - with the block molds, the opening is going to vary based on the shape of the item you have molded. In the video I made, the bangle came to a narrow taper along the edge so the opening to pour the resin (or to insert objects) was just a small slit. My recommendation if you wanted to embed objects into block molds would be to mold items with a larger opening up top - similar to the flex mold.
I am always one for experimenting. I would try a very small batch with the makeup although I do hesitate that it will actually color the resin a bit and make it cloudy. If you are wanting the look of fine glitter, I would just go with the fine glitter, however, if you do the experiment, you could come out with a very unique and cool result. It's all a matter of how much you are wanting to experiment.
@DucksCanCraft Good question! It will vary from person to person and depends on how much you got on the skin, how many times you shower/wash your hands a day, etc. I would say a few days is a good estimate. As a precaution, you can wear disposable gloves. Also, washing right away after it gets on your skin will help vs. waiting even 5 minutes.
Yes, you could make a key as long as you don't mind one side of the key being flat and not detailed. If you are trying to make it work in a lock, I can not guarantee that it will work, but you can definitely make a decorative key.
It really depends upon the look that you want. If you are not concerned about the objects being at staggered heights, then you can add the objects and the resin all at once (this means that they will be at the base of your mold). If however, you want them to be placed at various heights, you will need to do several layers of resin.
@craftmomma3 The filing does remove the shine. Here is what I would try to return the shine - first buff the area as best as possible to remove any resin dust and make the piece very smooth. Then try painting a very thin coat of gloss sealant over the area. You can also use clear nail polish - both of these will bring back some of the shine. Try this on a test piece first since this is not a guaranteed solution. Hope this gives you some ideas!
If you want to add things to resin, just sit them down inside your mold before you pour the resin. A feather is going to be really tricky though because it will move around when the liquid is poured over it. You will need to experiment to see what works and what does not. What type of lettering are you wanting to add? A premade silicone mold is actually going to be easier to do this with then a block mold because you will be able to see through it.
@theonlyjaie Yes, you can embed objects with block molds but it is a much more difficult process then with the flex molds and it will take some trial and error. First, the flex molds are clear which makes embedding and arranging objects fairly easy whereas the block molds are a solid dark opaque which can make it tricky to see where you are placing objects.
@kenshidark We did not drill a hole in the video because we try to only use tools which a lot of people have on hand or are easily accessible. If you are going to drill a hole, I would do so with the original object still inside the mold (it will make the entire mold more stable for drilling) and make sure not to drill anywhere near the molded area. I personally have not drilled through this type of substance before so I am not sure how easy it is going to be - it is a flexible rubber.
@Beadaholique I think I have a way around stabilizing the mold. What I want to pour will be around 10" high and slim and I want to embed into it. I'm thinking of using a clear piece of pipe (like what is used in candle crafting) to hold the silicone not only for casting, but for holding it during resin pours, mold top can be open. Now that I know that the only issue is that you can't see what you are embedding, I think the clear will give me a way around that.
Hello, I do not have any desire to make jewelry, however I came across this video, and the previous one, and while your bangle mold is quite different from what i will be making I wanted you to know that thru your demonstration you solved several problems I was having when figuring how to make eye pieces for a mask I am working on. Thank you, I plan on watching more of your vids.
@ThePrettyLime The two most common reasons for resin remaining soft after 3 days are: somehow the mixing ratio was off and it was not exactly equal parts (you need to make sure that part A and part B are exactly a 1 to 1 ration), and the second cause could be that your resin is getting old. How long have you had it?
@theonlyjaie It really is a case of not being able to see and also having such a narrow slot to get an object into the mold through. If you can open up that slot more - like perhaps mold an object with a wider top edge, you will find the process goes more smoothly. Also, if you are embedding objects in resin layers, you are going to have to be careful about manipulating the mold a lot when pouring the resin.
I have never used a straw but my best guess is that they are trying to use the heat of their breath to remove the bubbles. Blowing cold air on it will do nothing. I would actually think breathing heavily close to mixed resin would be better then the straw which might allow the heat of your breath to cool down before it reaches the resin. Still wait the 5 minutes, it does help a lot, and then you can try the hot breath - the more you can do to remove bubbles, the better.
@Beadaholique You will notice in the video how I pull the edge of the silicone rubber to widen the opening to pour my resin in - however if you are working in layers, you are not going to want to pull the rubber too much and run the change of the resin seeping along the side of the previous layer (not a big deal if just using clear resin but if making stripes then it could be an issue). Again, if you have a wider top area of your mold to pour into, it would help with this issue.
@nicaramawama Yes. We ship all over the world. Our video descriptions underneath all of our videos has a list of supplies and links to make finding the products easier.
The biggest thing is to just have fun, let your creativity flow, and feel free to try new things and experiment. There are also links to those pages in the video description underneath the video.
@Beadaholique The easiest would be to just use one of the clear flexible plastic molds but you are limited by the shapes they come in vs. creating your old block mold in whatever shape you want.
With colouring resin, it's probably best to colour your part B in a different cup and then measure out your A or add your A (whichever is user preference). It's just something I've seen and read :) gives you less worry on the pot time of your resin and lessens your mixing (or bubbles perhaps). At least I hope so lol Awesome tutorial btw, I'll have to try this for my doll stuff!
@islesofavalon Hi. The files used in this video are available on Beadaholique's website. The Sku is XTL-2212. There's a link for the files in the video description underneath the video.
Hi! Do you mean sculpting the actual object that you want to mold? We don't have a video for this but I do know a lot of people who have sculpted their base objects (which they then mold) out of polymer clay.
@michaelification1 Hi! Unfortunately since we do not sell the RTV 585 silicone rubber mold, I can not speak to what resins will work in it. However, what you are describing sounds more like a problem with the resin then the mold. If your resin is old, this could prevent it from setting up properly and always remaining sticky. The other issue could be if it was measured wrong. You need exactly equal parts of part A and part B. I hope this helps! Good luck!
We used Ice Resin in this video. You can get the supplies featured in our videos on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath this video.
@jccaudell82 Thank you for the compliment! I do wear my own bangles and my own jewelry. I try to actually only wear my own jewelry, that way when people say "oh, I love that!" I can proudly say, "thanks! I made it" - lol
Hmmm... I have received several requests like this and we do not sell such a product so I can not say if it will work (since I have not tested it). Try googling the terms and see what you can find. I am sorry that I can not be of better assistance. Good Luck!
Very nice tutorial on creating your own resin bangle bracelet Ms. Bean. Out of curiosity, do you wear the bangle that you've made yourself? I have several bangles that I would love to do with your products and methods of making resin bangle bracelets because I decorate them for my lady friends and that would help me create more bangles for my type of decorating bangle bracelet projects when I have spare time, Ms. Bean.

@Beadaholique what about using the clear (its more translucent than "clear" actually) molds? I've had an idea that requires silicon molds but I've been hesitating because so few people seem to embed objects when using these molds. I've seen some resin bubble rings that very obviously have things embedded in them but have been just confused as to how the creator did it. If it's just a case of it isn't done much because you can't see the object, I can get around that!

When making the mold, if you would put a large cylindrical object in the middle of the bracelet you'd save a lot of mold material and make it a lot easier to remove the item.
love that, thanks for the tutorial.........do you suggest mixing food coloring or paint with resin? I've seen tut's on it and I tried food coloring and the red didn't cure so well, their still floppy buttons....any sugggestions?
You can embed things into your block mold as you would other resin pieces, yes! Just make sure that your inclusions fit in the mold completely and seal them if necessary. If you want something to sit in the middle, you may need to pour your resin in more than one batch, letting it cure in between so it has something to hold it up.
@Snoepie97 Hi! I am sorry but I do not know how to make a silicone bracelet. You can try to google "how to make a silicone bracelet" and see what shows up.
Can you embed with these block molds? If you can, will you show how or have you already? I want to begin using these but won't if I loose the ability to embed like I have with flex molds.
HI can you answer please, this bangle has a midle bit which could be used to add some things like charms or cabs, how would i go about, if i wanted to make similar using a silicone mold - do i have to add half resin wait to set and add the items and than the rest of the resin or can i add everything in one go.
Great video. For a university project i was thinking of making resin and silicone bracelets. I was wondering, is it possible to make a silicone mould and then instead of using resin inside, use silicone? is it possible to buy transparent silicone? or a softer resin? kind regards
@Beadaholique hi! i saw you use ice resin from your video,i bought some easy cast clear casting epoxy resin but i don't know if it is usable with that kind of silicone mold?Is that silicone mold is for ice resin only?I hope you can help me.Thanks
@Beadaholique is it normally use the rtv 585 silicone rubber mold for epoxy resin?I've used both of these but when i demold it became sticky.My curing time is 1 day,is it required to cure fir 3 days?What would you think my mistake,is it the silicone mold or my curing time?I hope you can give me some advice.Thanks!
@Beadaholique hi! can i use easy cast clear casting epoxy resin in easy mold silicone rubber?i saw your video using that kind of mold rubber,i have that one but i don't know if easy cast clear casting epoxy resin is compatible to use?
P KYBZ I am not familiar with making rubber bracelets so I can not say if that will work with this product and technique. However, I can help you with the color question. You can use an opaque resin dye to make the color more solid: www.beadaholique.com/c-62453-dyes-pigments.aspx?UA-cam&
The original plastic bangle that we cast to give the rubber mold its shape was a piece Julie brought from home I think, unfortunately it's not something we've ever had in stock. The advantage of mold kits is that you can take a piece of old jewelry you have lying around or a cheap find at the mall and give its shape new life with new materials.
Once you have created your block mold, it is possible to embed photos inside at the resin pouring stage but it is tricky and can be hard to get them to stay where you want them to. You basically need to cut and seal your photos and then carefully place them into the mold either before you pour your resin or after you pour your resin but before it has cured. It is a more advanced technique and different people do it different ways.
tuffett09 Welcome to the world of resin! It's a lot of fun. Resin always comes clear and then you dye it with either opaque or transparent resin pigments and dyes. Here is a link to the selection we offer: www.beadaholique.com/c-62453-dyes-pigments.aspx
Nice, but 1 suggestion; drop a soup can in the center of the bangle. This would reduce the amount of silicone rubber needed. It would also make it easier to remove from the mold because a "donut" shaped mold would have no interior to fight against.
You can get the supplies featured in our videos on Beadaholique.com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath this video.
I am afraid you will need to find a bracelet to cast which is the right size. I do not know of a way of taking a too small bracelet and casting it so that it expands in size.
Many bangles are one size fits most, but they will not necessarily fit all sizes. Since you use your own bangle to make this mold, just make sure that you use a bangle that fits the size you want to make your mold.
I do not suggest mixing food coloring or paint with the resin. I have never had success with this and it is such a risk because you do not know how the chemical makeup of the additive will affect the chemical reaction of the resin - especially since there are so many different types of paints out there. I would stick with the pigments and dyes made specifically for resin.
It actually comes out of the mold shiny. I know some people sand the resin down and then to return the shine, they use a gloss varnish or even a clear nail polish.
@Beadaholique Secondly, the flex molds have that nice wide opening up top which makes insertion easy - with the block molds, the opening is going to vary based on the shape of the item you have molded.

Hi! You can use a shiny (high gloss) clear spray sealant on the piece and that will return its shine. I would suggest doing a test piece first.
Your tutorials are always great.
@michaelification1 Yes, Easy Cast Clear Casting Epoxy is compatible with the Easy Cast SIlicone Rubber Mold.

wonderful tutorial, very clear instructions thank you so much.
So, after you sand, is there something I should do to make it shine again...or does the filing not remove the shine?
There is not a way to save mixed resin so it is best to have several projects handy and ready to be filled with resin before you start.
Can you also make this with designs in it or with other objects inside it as well?
You can embed things into your block mold as you would other resin pieces, yes! Just make sure that your inclusions fit in the mold completely and seal them if necessary. If you want something to sit in the middle, you may need to pour your resin in more than one batch, letting it cure in between so it has something to hold it up.

What van you do with the extra resin you have if you didn't use all of the mixed one? Is there a way to save it?
You can use Easy Cast resin for this project, but in the video I used Ice Resin. Your result should be the same though.
Um question, could you mix shimmer makeup pigments to the resin to make it shiny. Or should i just use a fine glitter?
HI can you answer please, this bangle has a midle bit which could be used to add some things like charms or cabs, how would i go about, if i wanted to make similar using a silicone mold - do i have to add half resin wait to set and add the items and than the rest of the resin or can i add everything in one go.
Are you able to reuse the same mold or will it be ruined after one use?
Great video. For a university project i was thinking of making resin and silicone bracelets. I was wondering, is it possible to make a silicone mould and then instead of using resin inside, use silicone? is it possible to buy transparent silicone? or a softer resin?

How can you add things like lettering or feathers within the resin?
hi,is that the result when if you use easy cast clear casting epoxy resin to make a bracelet?
I did thia in pink and pink glitter it looked ao cool♡♥ thanks for the video
@Beadaholique hi maam,is it possible to use easy cast clear casting epoxy resin to the easy cast silicone rubber mold?
@Beadaholique hi! i saw you use ice resin from your video,i bought some easy cast clear casting epoxy resin but i don't know if it is usable with that kind of silicone mold?Is that silicone mold is for ice resin only?I hope you can help me.Thanks
Where isyour video on making the mold I couldnt find it??
is it okay to use easy cast clear casting epoxy resin to that silicone rubber mold?I saw your demo use ice resin how about for epoxy resin?
Resin is in the cup.
Do you have a video that shows how to add a photo?
Ice Resin or Envirotex Jeweler's Grade resin should work well for you.
Check out our video about embedding objects in molds: "How to Make an Embedded Object Resin Bangle Bracelet"
@Beadaholique
is it normally use the rtv 585 silicone rubber mold for epoxy resin?I've used both of these but when i demold it became sticky.My curing time is 1 day,is it required to cure fir 3 days?What would you think my mistake,is it the silicone mold or my curing time?I hope you can give me some advice.Thanks!
If I have a bracelet that is too smal how can i make one like this but that fits
@Beadaholique hi! can i use easy cast clear casting epoxy resin in easy mold silicone rubber?i saw your video using that kind of mold rubber,i have that one but i don't know if easy cast clear casting epoxy resin is compatible to use?
wow.. but how did u made d mould?
how do i make the colr more, such that no one can see through? plus can i use this to make rubber, bracelets?
P KYBZ I am not familiar with making rubber bracelets so I can not say if that will work with this product and technique. However, I can help you with the color question. You can use an opaque resin dye to make the color more solid: www.beadaholique.com/c-62453-dyes-pigments.aspx?UA-cam&
Beadaholique thanks...
what are u using in small glass a glue or anything else
what kind of liquid you used to make it shiny?
I see I can get the rubber mould but I’d like to get the actual bangle mould in the video. Is that possible?
The original plastic bangle that we cast to give the rubber mold its shape was a piece Julie brought from home I think, unfortunately it's not something we've ever had in stock. The advantage of mold kits is that you can take a piece of old jewelry you have lying around or a cheap find at the mall and give its shape new life with new materials.
Can you tell me where I can buy the mold making kit.
Cau you do a resin key with that mold???
Can you embed photos with the block mold?
Once you have created your block mold, it is possible to embed photos inside at the resin pouring stage but it is tricky and can be hard to get them to stay where you want them to. You basically need to cut and seal your photos and then carefully place them into the mold either before you pour your resin or after you pour your resin but before it has cured. It is a more advanced technique and different people do it different ways.
vasaline or babypowder would help with the demould
Hi! I know the bracelets that are speaking of but unfortunately I do not know how to make them. I am sorry.
What kind of paint drops are you using? Are there different types of resin to make more opaque bangles? I'm new at this.
tuffett09 Welcome to the world of resin! It's a lot of fun. Resin always comes clear and then you dye it with either opaque or transparent resin pigments and dyes. Here is a link to the selection we offer: www.beadaholique.com/c-62453-dyes-pigments.aspx
where do you get the stuff at to make it
Nice, but 1 suggestion; drop a soup can in the center of the bangle. This would reduce the amount of silicone rubber needed. It would also make it easier to remove from the mold because a "donut" shaped mold would have no interior to fight against.
Thanks great suggestion
wow. i really want to make these.. but i don't think i could make the mold..
Its has been 3 days since i set my resin in a bracelet mold and the bracelet is really flexible... what did i due wrong?
can you tell me where you get your white mussels and blue bracelet thank you I write you FRANCE
You can get the supplies featured in our videos on Beadaholique.com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath this video.
@Beadaholique Hi! thank you the reply.May be the problem is resin because it's old and almost 1 year.Any way thank you very much!
Oh Also! Next time, perhaps try a 2 part, this will be much easier to get your bracelet out :).
Again thanks for this!
So cute!
How do I make a silicone rubber like bracelet????
I am afraid you will need to find a bracelet to cast which is the right size. I do not know of a way of taking a too small bracelet and casting it so that it expands in size.
Bellos los trabajos en resina., son encantadores
Why don't you drill a hole in the middle of the mould to make it easier to release?
what brand is the resin?
thank you
Does one size fit all.
Many bangles are one size fits most, but they will not necessarily fit all sizes. Since you use your own bangle to make this mold, just make sure that you use a bangle that fits the size you want to make your mold.
Oh thx a lot for answering back =] ok. I'll check it =]=]
it`s beautiful!
I do not suggest mixing food coloring or paint with the resin. I have never had success with this and it is such a risk because you do not know how the chemical makeup of the additive will affect the chemical reaction of the resin - especially since there are so many different types of paints out there. I would stick with the pigments and dyes made specifically for resin.
i think i didnt use the right portions... thank you so much for you reply
cool and beautiful
@Beadaholique Be careful if you are going to attempt it and make sure to wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
You re really good
