DIY Silicone Doilies & Lace from Household Caulk

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

After watching several videos, I found one that suggested using cornstarch to lightly dust the mold prior to adding the silicone and after it dries to have better results in removing the project from the molds. Hers were very intricate and they came out beautiful!

[@roxyfur]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@mamacritterritter2675]

Loved watching you figure it out. Can't wait to try it! Thank you!

[@elsieester6075]

I absolutely love your work... thanks for sharing.

[@roxyfur]

That is so nice of you, Elsor! Thank you for making my day!!

[@amycrafts2012]

They turned out great! I used to have some of my Mom's plastic doilies. Guess they were popular in the 50s or 60s. We had them in the middle of the table with a decorative base or bowl on them.

[@roxyfur]

amycrafts2012 I have a couple flat ones but put a fake, red waxy candle on it and it stained it :(

[@cruisegirl60]

Made some. I squeezed out some silicone and colored it, then put in mold. The round one looks good wrapped around the bottom of a decorated craft tag. Nice added detail.

[@doodlebug7349]

They look so beautiful! PLEASE show us more and if you paint them!

[@roxyfur]

I will, Diana!

[@angiel3114]

Very informative thank you so much. Can I use caulking from Dollar Tree?

[@roxyfur]

Absolutely! It works great!

[@angiel3114]

@@roxyfur Thank you very much.

[@diamondlee9034]

How cool are THESE?! Came out great, more vids on these please😊

[@donnabrown4195]

I always use a nail it keeps the neck open this way. I am amazed by this project and can't wait to try it myself.

[@deborahbeatty]

Does the caulk harden or is it still flexible after is it in older? Oh and if you want a alternative to a nonstick craft mat, you can get oven liners (the sheets that go on the bottom of your oven for spills). They’re usually tons cheaper and work just as well.

[@paperbuttons19]

That's cool. I have some molds. I had an epic fail with the modge podge sticks. what a mess LOL! I'll have to try this one! TFS! Celeste

[@onabee85]

They have caulking at the dollar tree!! I went and purchased some today. I'm going to try this with some old mint molds my grandmother had. Flower, leaf, book, scroll, graduate head, etc. Great idea!!

[@roxyfur]

rain s the tube kind?!?

[@roxyfur]

rain s be sure it's acrylic, Rain...

[@cher1292]

I love this idea! I might try some! Hope all is well! TFS!

[@suestoons]

So cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@roxyfur]

You're so welcome, Sue!!

[@lesliespeers2739]

Very pretty, delicate! TFS

[@thetruth8053]

roxy...you arte absolutly amazing girl..thank you so so much ..LIKE♥

[@roxyfur]

Thank you, Love beauty!

[@sandidelaney4906]

Try waiting till they are dry and use some rubbing alcohol with the baby wipe to rub off the hazing...Helps cleaning them up...

[@roxyfur]

I do mention that you have to wait 24 hours. The baby wipes work great as is,too.

[@sajakhamis3127]

I have Acrylic Siliconized Sealant does that work? And is is applicable to pour in deep molds? Not thin stencils as yours (not so deep something like baroque molds pattern)

[@roxyfur]

I do not know, maybe search KZbin to see if anybody has used it.

[@deepti12347]

Any other option to use to make lace?? Any homemade paste??

[@roxyfur]

I think you could but it has to release from the mold. You could also try cornstarch and water to make a paper- like clay.

[@elizabethshults8988]

thanks for letting us see snow out your window.

[@normajones6467]

So interesting! Can't wait to see wha thou make with rhese

[@fritula6200]

Use a large screw as a stopper for the caulking cylinder. It won't let the air in.

[@thejerseylady1]

Love those , so cool. Will have to raid HeHimself's workroom to see what caulk he has. Hugs, Gloria

[@myinkyfingers]

How fascinating. Do u think if you use it in a journal it might glue the pages together? Especially if u put a heavy book on top pf it? Just wondering. Wouldn't want u to ruin your artwork.

[@roxyfur]

Artsy Chik I'm thinking cornstarch and noticed someone else suggested it. I'll have to do some work on it...

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Can you use modeling paste?

[@roxyfur]

yes, or paper clay, pretty much anything clay based.

[@autumn8034]

Wonderful where do you get the molds from?

[@roxyfur]

These were from aliexpress but Michael's had them too :)

[@tania__M]

thank you so much. it is very useful for me♥️

[@bonnielipke1962]

Have you tried to paint them so they aren't "sticky" in your projects?

[@roxyfur]

Not yet but I will. They are less sticky as they dry. But I do wonder about that.

[@bonnielipke1962]

roxyfur ..... I used caulk on one of my journal pages and had to end up putting cornstarch on it to keep it from sticking the pages together. Let me know how the paint works out!!!

[@roxyfur]

Bonnie Lipke I was thinking cornstarch, I'll have to experiment

[@peggyparenteau6649]

What do you use to adhere to card stock? This is sooooo cool. thanks! You are the best! oxoxo

[@angiel3114]

You can use E-6000.

[@sharon94503]

You can use gel medium for example to use it in a mixed media project.

[@cristicrafts4836]

Very nice!

[@cindyroberts3685]

Where did you buy the molds?

[@roxyfur]

AliExpress

[@MizCoffeeMug]

what a great idea ..

[@mariebrawley5482]

Soooooo look I wanna try Tfs😀🐰💝❤

[@libbyz.g.8411]

Hi Roxy ,This is amazing, I never knew about silicone modding ! Is that what you call this ? I love it but what do you use this for ?

[@roxyfur]

Libby Z.G. it's silicone molding ;) you can use them for embellishments it decor

[@donnabrown4195]

You will want to shove a big nail in the end of your call tube so it does not plug solid if that happens your tube is done.

[@roxyfur]

Donna Brown I cleaned out the cap, do you think I'll still need a nail?

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

use a different tool such as a dry wall putty knife or a cake decorating knife and it will be so much faster spreading the caulking

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Try a cloth with a little rubbing alcohol instead of baby wipes

[@roxyfur]

Thanks, Sonia!

[@tsaqt]

Peel porn😂. This was therapeutic to watch you work. I love it.

[@roxyfur]

Bwwwhaaahaa! You caught me! It really is, though.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

it doesn't dry, it cures

[@mrscalifdreamer]

I cringed when you didn’t dust the molds with cornstarch. Other than that...lovely work!

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Cool idea, but... Too many mid-rolls! Ugh

[@roxyfur]

Thanks Beth! What is a mid roll? Am I doing it wrong?

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Ads. I think I got 4. I can't remember. I just remember it kept cutting away for another ad

[@ac11dc110]

watching women using tools is priceless

[@SweetPinkDreams]

Squeeze the handle dear, if it works

[@roxyfur]

HA! I have a really bad thumb joint and can't squeeze very well. Plus this thing was all farkakte

[@amycrafts2012]

That's VASE. lol.

[@lzrd8460]

OMG! Be quiet and get on with the tutorial. I’m here to learn not to watch you open packages, show me how to use a caulking pistol or show us something that’s up side down! My goodness, get on with it!! Sorry it’s been a bad day. Can you tell us where you purchased the large one? Thank you.

[@roxyfur]

Thanks for the comment.

[@suestoons]

*OMG!* Some suggestions to assist you: 1. Look at the bottom of the video. The third icon from the left looks like a speaker. If you hover over it with your mouse the word "mute" comes up. Click on it. All will be *quiet*. 2. Same taskbar on the bottom, this time look for the cogwheel, 4th from the right. Hover text = "settings". Click on "Playback Speed". Scroll down and select the number 2. The video will play twice as fast, thus taking up less of your precious time. 3. The red x at the top right corner of your browser window will make this video that seems to be irritating you so much disappear. 4. If you plan on asking a content provider a question, perhaps don't start your comment with so much attitude and snark if you really want an answer. 5. Sorry you felt the need to pay it forward with your *bad day* so the content provider could share in your misery. Two months later, you also share your *irritation* with me and who knows how many other people in the intervening time. Your bad day keeps on giving and giving adding to the total of misery to the comment section of KZbin. 6. Perhaps try uploading a tutorial of your own. I see you have no uploaded videos on your channel. Maybe it's not that easy to do? 7. Before you clap back at me with more of your attitude and bad mood, take a moment, re-read what you initially wrote and have a think about the negativity you've added to the internet. 8. Hopefully your bad day has passed and you're in a better frame of mind now. I'm not. Thanks for that. 🌞Sunshine & Rainbows🌈
