Place a silicone sheet on top after pouring to thicken the mold if running short of liquid silicone

Hi, We just found you tonight, hubby and I. I think you are adorable on how excited you get. I haven't done any resin work but I really want to. I am in the U.S. in California. You inspire me and your work is sooooooo beautiful!! I get all excited right along with you. :) I hope to do something that will bring me as much excitement as yours has brought you. Awesome work!!!

[@travellasingleton651]

you are so talented you have been my online teacher since I began. This is my next challenge to complete.

[@berniegowans8740]

Hi fellow Queenslander. I am amazed as I would never have even thought of making a silicon mould, but you did and created such a beauty. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing, Bernie, Brisbane.

[@gerrijoncas3206]

Julie, you did an AMAZING job! I agree that the more natural edge is very appealing. I hadn’t even considered the possibility of making my own molds; now you have me thinking. 😊 I love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us, not only the gifted artist that you are, but the wonderful person. 😊👍❤️

[@maybee5334]

You remind me of my mum, in an amazing way, she very careful and talk through what she does, which makes me nervous but I can't stop watching! 🤣🤣🤣 I am more of rip the bandage type of girl which she freaks out about lol, but I love watching your videos while drinking a cuppa, god I miss my mum. You did amazing! That mold is beautiful, you always create beautiful things! 🤩

[@katiepowell4772]

Love this video and love the Aussie accent!!! “Oh this is so exiting lol 😂 “ u made me giggle how happy u were wen removing your clear coasters from your mold!!!!

[@cynthiacarr3294]

Me too 😂😁❤👏🏽👏🏽💯‼

[@Dodo_hanna]

Please what is the name of the silicon brand ?? I couldn’t catch it 💓

[@deborahmccue1704]

Really good. Making these yourself. They do look more like a geodes as coasters.

[@bethheizer2886]

I love to watch your resin art vids over and over! Im waiting for my money to come in so i can get into resin art! And YOU'RE my favorite!!! To learn from!

[@smcdaniel45]

Wow! So cool that this is possible. Always wondered how molds are made. I am so glad I found you. Thanks for sharing this with me.

[@janelleparker4609]

Great job, they came out wonderful. I don't know if I was more excited then you. I enjoyed it. Thank you

[@janetberryman4668]

Excellent video so informative

[@cladieart7113]

We can't wait to start trying our hands at some of your wonderful ideas. You are inspiring.

[@JERZEE847]

Julie, I agree, I like that its not a perfect edge myself. This was a great experience for us to see, ahead of actually trying it ourselves! Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@buffbuff5016]

You never cease to amaze me...that is awesome!! I can see why you are excited. Can’t wait to see you make some coasters from that mould. 👋🏼🥰

[@LK-pb4no]

Julie....you are so freaking cute and I just loved listening to you! I love your enthusiasm and passion. I agree with you, I prefer the jagged edges as it adds depth and texture to it. The smooth is so much like a factory roll out! You want something that looks hand made and that is what you have. I just finished watching another lady who made resin tray handles and little containers to put her mica powder in and let me tell you it was phenomenal. Working with resin is truly satisfying!

[@FayeDarling65]

Hi just to let you know Travabon Special PURE skin defence cream is specifically designed for providing protection when working with resins etc thought you might be interested, also wear nitrate gloves . Love your work 🦩🐇🦘🦋🌸🌺💐

[@bonitablackburn848]

I always get a lip on my coasters and I figured out why. It's because on the molds I have are thinner on the bottom than the rest of the mold and that's what causes the lip. These turned out very nice!

[@Belle1991xx]

Wow 😳 so pretty! Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sheenadavis5422]

You are amazing! I learn so much from you!

[@MindyDrummond1414]

This is so awesome, you inspire me with each video!! :)

[@marifloyd1543]

You can add cheesecloth to the back, or cotton fabric to strengthen the mold and keep it from breaking.

[@marifloyd1543]

I should add that you should add the fabric white the silicone is still wet before it cures, it makes your mold very strong

[@rendaowe]

Go you! I love al of the beautiful and encouraging words from everyone! Great video, you’ve given me some great ideas. So exciting!

[@kathyalley5856]

I got an idea, when pouring the resin put a round dowel sticking up to make ahole to put a jump ring thru it and hang in a sunny window

[@Art_hooda]

you are so funny I loved your reaction,amazing work

[@davieannb4926]

Hello doll. I have been looking for a mold like this for months. You are adorable. I loved this. Have you considered making any to sell? I loved the tutorial, with all I have going on in my life and working full time. I have no extra time to try my own.

[@Sweetencourager21]

That’s awesome. Can you put the link where you got the silicone liquid? I’ve been wanting to make some moulds and am having a hard time finding silicone rubber. It’s always exciting when something works. Everything we use is so expensive.

[@honeyhargreaves4011]

[@bonitablackburn848]

Oh darling you really should pour a stiff one before you get started, you fret so much and I get so nervous for you, then I have to break the seal on a bottle. I can't keep drinking like this!!😂😂😂 I do love watching you and your creations!❤

[@jodyparkman824]

That’s funny as all get out! As I read your comment I was drinking my coffee, and it spit out!!! Lol 😂 she needs to realize how awesome she is

[@bonitablackburn848]

@@jodyparkman824 I laugh so hard listening to her laugh at herself and it makes my day everytime I watch her. I know how nervous you get working with resin because you don't want to run out of time before the resin starts to seize up. You worry about mistakes but you learn to correct them quickly and move on, leave it alone and wait for the surprise after drying time is up. She has come into her own and is a pleasure to watch and listen to. 👏👏👏❤❤

[@sharon94503]

Could you use a different brand to add a 2nd layer on the bottom, or does it need to be the same exact brand?

[@RandomAs77]

How did you get that nice natural edging on the coasters? I know you made them but wondered how you got that edge

" *shinny bottom* " 🤣🤣😂😂

[@franca1225]

I have been following you for a while now I’m new at this I must tell you this YOU ARE THE only one that explains in detail on how to make resin and molds I was wondering if you would be able to explain on how much of each to mix together with resin and hardener I know they are equal parts but I don’t know what that part is

[@karenstrong8887]

It says it is hard to tear so you could be okay with the bottom thickness. You could use your clear silicone in the gun to fill places like corners with silicone that you don’t need filled. Snip them out when ready or put a piece of thick plastic across the edge before you pour. It isn’t silicrete, it is silicreate. As in to create something with silicone. We all do this sometimes when it isn’t a real word together our mind just picks the obvious. I have a sister that does it all of the time and it is a real thing. She is very intelligent. 🌷

[@emsjane69]

Ha ha. ‘It’s like I need to name it or something’ 😂 Made me laugh. You’re so clever Julie 😊👍

[@denisebetz7632]

Here's an idea to make that silicone go further In the areas that a negative not part of your mold place some stones or unneeded items to into the negative spaces pushing that extra silicone into the areas that you need it because in the corners is quite a bit of wasted silicone then when you remove your mold you can just remove those items you used in the negative spaces to push that silicone to where you needed it. It's just for your use so it doesn't have to be beautiful or you could actually put shapes in there that you could reuse later when you make your silicone coasters you can make those little silicone designs as well such as crystals etc

[@BrendaBodwin]

Refrigerate silicone after pouring for an hour or two and that removes the bubbles. I make/pour molds for soap making, quite often. (Much firmer silicone mold than used for resin). You can put a bit of mica in a or b for color or 1 or 2 drops of food color to a or b if you want color of to be sure its blended well, or, if you just want the mold to have color. I don't use a pan. I buy corrugated plastic and, cut it, 1 layer, not all of the way through, fold the sides up, and use packing tape on the outside to secure them. Works perfectly again and again. This allows for depth if you want a beeper mold, and, allows you to make it the size you need with no excess space that can waste silicone. Corrugated plastic sign sheets are available in most hardware stores. The sheets are near the yard signs, ie; "for sale", "beware of dog", etc. They are blank and white for making your own signs. Various sizes. Very inexpensive. These can be used over and over. I've never had to replace one.

[@MommaBearsCorner]

many of these molds are clearly WAY WAY OVERPRICED!.. i just doing calking before i spend such high prices for molds myself too.

[@LedZepUltimateFanPage]

No no..NEVER use silicone or resin in dishes you use for cooking. YIKES.. Those are toxic. Read labels that say NOT to use on dishes you eat food from, or put food in.

[@LedZepUltimateFanPage]

I hope you don't use those bowls again for baking? You said it was a baking bowl? That is toxic chemicals you are putting in there, you shouldn't use for baking/food afterwards. Can be dangerous.

[@englishclub4you]

I tried this kind of the mold to make, glued successfully! But unfortunately the THICKNESS of the silicon kitchen mat was not at the point! So the surface was ugly tightened and I had to throw it away, pity. The mat must be solid as well. Thank you

[@penelopeellis249]

Fantastic. I really want to have another try at resin art. I set some paper flowers into half round moulds but they came out with very crinkled surface and not beautifully transparent like yours. Maybe the mould was too flexible because I got flat tops instead of domed. However watching you has given me the encouragement to try again. Thank you 😊 from Lady Penelope

[@lindapym8314]

Way to go Julie 🎉 - you did a fabulous job and your mold turned out just great! Thank you for sharing. Love your enthusiasm and excitement- makes me smile every time 👩🏻‍🎨🌈

[@olgacolonforeversky]

It was beautiful to see how happy you were to make this beautiful mold. And yes I'm also making some of my own to. Many blessings

[@julieveitia2979]

Great job. But did you actually save any money by making the mold yourself? Or did all the supplies total up to more than buying a ready mold?

[@PattiHaggerman-i8n]

So you paid $39 to make a mold you probably could have bought for less than $15?

[@shisah5544]

I bet the silicone cost more than a premade geode silicone coaster mold... they’re only like £6. Don’t understand the point of this if you’re not using cheaper items

[@kevinaldcroft6291]

If you ever have a shape that you are not sure how much silicone or resin you would need to do the job. You can fill the shape with water. Use a measuring jug to measure the amount of water it takes to fill the shape. No more guessing.

[@AshleyAdams-qq8bu]

Do you also have a website to purchase your silicone molds for the coasters? I don’t have a Facebook.

[@lesleywall4186]

If the silicone ends up not being enough stick something inbetween the molds so that the volume of what you stick in rises the level of the silicone. You can eventually fill these empty spaces in later with silicone or glue.

[@melissaphillis7247]

Name it "George" lol! 😂 Absolutely brilliant job, Julie! You're so clever!
