I really love this kind of tutorial - no wasting time, no unnecessary chatter, clear and simple. Thank you for sharing.

[@LeleSweets]

Amazing! This is super handy, thank you!

[@StrawberrysheepBlogspotcake]

Ooh, this is so helpful because the other silicone tutorials with the cornstarch never work for me. Then I got frustrated at the time and decided to just buy the putty. But I think I might still make this. It seems fun. Thank you! The lemon would look really cool if you painted it to look like a lemon after it was baked. I love how you used that for the mold!

[@maggiem4734]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an easy, uncomplicated, and fairly neat project. THIS is the putty I will be making! Bless you 🙏🏼❤️👍🏼

[@UzumakiNaruto-ln9kg]

This is so much better than the silicone mold with corn flour version. Thank you. :)

[@bonbon_aska]

i came from there also.. lol

[@OhhMyCasey]

This is so awesome! I'll have to give this a try :D Thanks for sharing this DIY with us!! ^-^

FluffyPandaProductions why

[@the_diamond_girl8956]

It really works !! I just did it just make sure ur silicon is 100% silicone coz otherwise it will just be goopy and grows . But yea it's really smart! And make syre u keep dipping ur hands in the soap and water coz it will stick I recommend every 30 seconds dip ur hand in soap and water.

Great tip for an easy way to make a super-cheap silicone mold. THANK YOU!! :D

[@adrienk7186]

This is so handy and it really does captures detail really well!

[@alexbowman3719]

Does it matter what kind of soap and how much you use? And does the temperature of the water matter?

[@cm1point5]

yes it must be 100 degrees

[@suteeracrafthandmade178]

Can we use this mold to make resin?

[@itsMarieex]

Such an interesting idea! I'll definitely try it out when I can (:

[@taylor-om5xs]

Thank you so much this looks much better than with cornstarch I'm going to try it today :)

[@hannahkaticilla4592]

will this work with clear silicone? I bought some to go with a different recipe I found on youtube, but I think I'll try this one.

[@dogarethebest101hello6]

[@tarnsjohnson6924]

i watched this and then made some molds of my own....fantastic...thank you for sharing

[@scottsound4711]

How long did it take to go off/set? Thanks.

[@SoundBlastMC]

how long does it harden?

[@samanthageorge2533]

I have been looking to find a way to make this without corn starch for so long, thanks for the great idea x

[@susivasquez7197]

Made a mold using the tutorial and its way more flexible than the cornstarch mold. Thanks for sharing with everyone😃.

[@shaikchandini9386]

Should it b freezed after making or left outside for sometime?

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Is it like the reaction the silicon has with the soap or something?

[@XigXag]

Yeah

[@MoonLump]

The soap removes the stickiness of the silicone making it easy to mold

[@SusanRoseArt]

Thanks for explaining the reason. I did wonder :)

[@merryclicker]

It's actually partly that but the glycerin in the soap helps the silicone cure faster. Just silicone alone would harden to a slightly flexible state in 24-72 hours, like around the bathtub. It wouldn't be as flexible though.

[@anikahlyou1407]

So your making silicone with silicone

[@fluffycroissant]

Lol

[@chaylanicolee891]

+Anikah Lyou NO your making silicone molds with silicone. if your going to talk smack then leave

Well it is called a SILICONE mold

[@ninakaterina9134]

Your idea is amazing. THANK YOU !!! CONGRATULATIONS. 👍👍👍👍

[@laurapalmer3403]

I love this way of making molds, but need a bit more information before i try it... How many ounces of water and soap did you use? Also, did you use tap water and a specific brand of soap? Thanks !

[@olgateway]

It is not a precise science. The water volume doesn't matter as it is not absorbed, the soap amount doesn't matter, it is there for the chemical reaction and to make things lubricated. Have fun!

[@cheeseinc2545]

olgateway One little thing to note is that silicone caulk makes acetic acid vapors after curing, so either work outside, in a ventilated area, or just brace yourself. It isn’t toxic, but it makes your nose sting.

[@katiemedford564]

Merci beaucoup pour ce tuto absolument FANTASTIQUE ! ;-) Je vais tester rapidement. Bonne journée à vous.

[@lacreperie8155]

This is very cool to know :o And it takes all the details, I need to try this !

[@BlackCat_2]

I have tried it and it was super fun but messy. :P I used a clear silicone so I could see through the mold because that is what I needed for the project I had in mind. It worked out really well. :) - Heidi

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

So you can use that seethrough silicone that smells like vinegar??

[@BlackCat_2]

Maki Garza The one I used didn't smell like vinegar to me but it didn't really smell great either. It has been about a year since I made it and it doesn't smell like anything now. I just went to the hardware department of a local store and looked for clear silicone.

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

was it like a teal color and said 1000?

[@BlackCat_2]

Maki Garza It was so long ago I am not entirely sure but reasonably sure this was it from my local walmart superstore: www.walmart.com/ip/GE-Clear-Waterproof-Silicone-I-Caulk/19902076

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

thanks :)

[@Victoria-ft1yl]

this didn't work! I tried it and it failed. the silicone was to liquidy!

[@carolynkuo743]

Was it 100% silicone?

[@Jesterclown17]

You can always try the cornstarch method.

[@MEPR03]

Use the clear is better

[@guillermomarmol6107]

Me encanto ...lo haré hoy mismo ...había visto muchos tutoríales y ninguno me convencía ,pero al ver el tuyo me e quedado atónito ,muy limpio todo 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MemeApocalypse]

this is the first video that I watched of you and I honestly love your diys! Subscribed

[@lvrrem]

Where do you store the mold putty after using it?

[@Musicgurlz17]

IN a ziplock bag

[@lvrrem]

Thank you very much!😊

[@Cmvle]

if u use a ziplock it with stick to it so use a playdoh container or a tight tube container

[@zalakshah65]

Is there any other way of making the same thing , I mean without using silicon?

[@zalakshah65]

Okay , bcz I live in Mumbai , India and I hardly think silicon is available , so I asked you which there is any other way to make the cover of same type or something :D

[@cathybenzel6637]

+Zalak Shah Try searching in a hardware store or online shopping websites like Amazon, Flipkart, idk whether you'll get them but it is worth a try's! Good luck on finding one!

[@zalakshah65]

+Cathy Benzel Heyy , thanks for the help , I got it :)

[@gguk_7277]

Yes you can use hot glue or clay

[@xXStolenSmilesXx]

just tried this. it isnt working. it keeps sticking. nothing like yours. what do i do? i put it in soap water as you did

[@xXStolenSmilesXx]

i tried. didnt work for too long. in the end i used cornflour which worked well. just rolled it in

[@jenniferk4615]

Make sure to lather your hands in soap before trying to pick it up

[@natelloyd6312]

sunny s. He used the wrong soap in this video! I have no idea how he made it work, but you’re really supposed to use the blue dawn dish soap! You have to use it with 100%silicone type 1! In all the entire project will cost about $6 to $8!

[@fredwoods2929]

Try mixing silicone with corn flour ...much better ..

[@silviasantoro302]

Ciao, io ho provato a fare la pasta di silicone per creare la cover dei minions ma L ho fatta 4 volte con pessimi risultati, tutte le volte non è mai diventata uniforme e come provavo a stenderla si sbriciolava, ho utilizzato un silicone 100% bianco professionale... Posso utilizzare questo metodo? Considera che io vorrei fare tutto il procedimento lasciando una cover da sotto, grazie ☺️

[@silviasantoro302]

+FimoKawaiiEmotions e tu cosa mi consigli?

[@silviasantoro302]

+FimoKawaiiEmotions comunque ho usato il "sil-universale" della Bostik bianco verniciabile

[@radicefoglietta841]

+Silvia Santoro io ho provato con l'acrilico... ehm.. un casino ! ahahaha non si modella nemmeno.

[@giulianafornario4462]

+FimoKawaiiEmotions scusa se mi intrometto, dove posso comprare il silicone che usi tu? prezzo?

[@mariasolecorelli5049]

+FimoKawaiiEmotions posso usare questo metodo ( usando solo il silicone ) per fare le cover? Comunque hai un canale semplicemente fantastico😙

[@3189maria]

muchas gracias por el fantástico video. Es el 1er video que encuentro para hacer moldes de silicona barato y sencillo. En este momento me siento muy FELIZZZZZZZZZZ. gracias desde España

[@koyosensebe8027]

The best ever OMG. I love it!

[@fieldwork763]

Will resin be okay in silicone molds?

[@krazykrissy4350]

Kristin Nguyen yes

[@kekekat212]

how long does it take the silicone to turn into the actual silicone instead of the clay?

[@Ivan-zp5me]

like one day

[@pscrafts192]

over night

[@CorenaGaroutte]

Depends on how thick and size of mold.

[@khamaniponder4328]

a few minutes

[@JustAnUglyGirl]

This is amazing. Thank you!

[@lydia8472]

You.Just.Saved.My.Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!! Amazing mold putty or silly putty are pretty expensive online,but this is just perfect!!!!!!!

[@thebabyhandprintcodeb2506]

Are either of those non toxic since silly putty is played with by kids curious?

[@guineagamer678]

what kind of soap did you use??

[@MisaAkaria]

it doesn't matter as long as it's Liquid soap

[@cekfgkekfkef7259]

Mrs_ SoDelirious so you can use fairy liquid in the UK?

[@jenniferelenbesunu8910]

please am I base in Nigeria so I don't know how to get the items used in producing the mold.

[@frankhughes76]

please don't use this type of silicone for food applications you run the risk of poisoning yourself or someone else. there is food grade silicone available

[@frankhughes76]

***** I'm not sure what you're asking. I have been known to be random but certainly not the king of anything.

[@bbbeats72]

It's a channel on youtube LOL

[@SirFrancisBaggyPants]

Frank Hughes hahahah thats hilarious nah man its a youtube channel where he make a lot of cool stuff but he tends to make a lot of silicon things.

[@ClayCharmCreature]

Awesome!! Definitely going to try that!

[@monaiki]

So happy this worked .I made an Oreo biscuit and it looks yummy :D thanks for the video !

[@nene6257]

Per quanto tempo lo devo far asciugare?😊

[@nene6257]

***** grazie😊 ma se uso questo metodo per fare la cover quindi senza maizena viene comunque?

[@nene6257]

***** ah ok grazie mille 😍

[@nene6257]

***** ma il sapone quale bisogna usare? Qualsiasi o detersivo per i piatti?

[@nene6257]

+FimoKawaiiEmotions ho fatto un casino con la cover 😭 ho aggiunto l acrilico per colorarla ed è diventata tutta grumolosa

[@nene6257]

nono lo era ma magari è scaduto boh :( non lo sooooo

Omg i tried it and i think id worked. This is awsome so i can make my own resin coaster molds, 😍😍

[@kamidodson-perry8002]

Thank you for sharing. I have only seen the silicone + cornstarch method thus far. I think resin would work in these molds as well as clay.

ahahaahahhahahahahahahahh LOL

[@morganseiler2832]

Is this safe to touch with bare hands? O.o

[@nielsen_]

Yup, it is, i've tried it several times an nothing bad happens. Usually this products are made safe because it would give them problems if someone got hurt. :)

[@morganseiler2832]

One more question! :) I tried this but the caulk was so sticky it was an umanagable wad, even after the soap water. How did you get yours to behave?

[@nielsen_]

i just followed the steps and it worked for me, the reason it doesn't work for you may be the proportion of soap or the type of silicone. The consistency of mine was really loose and soft but definitely manageable so i don't really know 😞. Anyways, have you covered your hands in soap before manipulating the silicone?

[@debracontreras422]

+Morgan Seiler try some dish soap if that doesn't work try pouring the soap in really slow and also mix slow:TIP😉💁💖

[@lavaavara264]

maybe just to be safe use gloves

[@debraeller1653]

this is the best clay that i ever seen on here

[@mishcrafts]

[@andyussery8495]

[@popcorncentral6366]

Oh god, OH GOD!!! It smells like a toxic fuse even with soap!!!

[@oh5148]

yup this method sucks you can’t even cast resin

[@ShrimpyCrafter]

This was so cool! Thanks! :)

[@AimmerosePK]

So easy. I love it.

[@ikizagirl]

Q: DOESN'T IT SMELL??? i tried making this but the damn silicone thing smells awful made my nose hurt, the whole house smelled like vinegar the whole day. Or did i get the wrong type of silicone?

[@GreydeDeuil]

Thats just the way silicone smells, it will fade once its cured.

[@abbiegroves2921]

ikizagirl same but my silicone didn't stop smelling after it was cured

[@giacommetti72]

The silicone MUST be ACETIC acid cure, as the soap (glycerin) washes out the retardant in the silicone to make it cure faster. It will smell strongly of Vinegar , which is acetic acid in a dilute form. Other silicones are chemically based and will not work with this method of soap and water washing. Knead the silicone thoroughly with wet hands.

[@ethansutton4860]

"easy!" pulls out silicone

[@dickgrayson2545]

Just buy silicone...

[@yoram9692]

you can get this enywhere

[@MasterlessVagrant]

$2 at target $4 at home depot

[@w3llplayedMTL]

So you looked up/watched a video on how to make silicone molds, and... you're surprised you need silicone...? Are you dumb?

[@ethansutton4860]

w3llplayed it was a joke xD

[@thomasalanwoolley]

This is so super cool, I can't wait to give it a try! Can you please tell me though how long you have to knead the silicone or at what point do you know it is ready to have an object pushed into it to make the mold? Wondering bc I don't want my mold to be "underdone" or sticky and never set firmly enough and not work out. Thanks so much!!

[@mayrakopjansen2814]

Greattutorial thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘

[@sizlax]

I'm super serious, lol. Can you use this method to make safe reusable sex toys? Also is there a way to add color to the silicone?

[@sizlax]

how?

[@supahx1421]

What the fuck is wrong with you

[@sizlax]

Umm, eww. Don't mention my mother and dildo in the same sentence... And no, I was actually thinking more along the lines of insertable toys(toys you insert into like fleshlight, not dildos).And no it has nothing to do with my mother, just the high cost of the ones I want.
