How to Make a Sugar Bottle Mold - Part 6

[@elliotazzam8726]

Really helpful! It’s great to see all the little tips and tricks you’ve developed so we don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Can’t wait to get started!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Emily, to make the bottom on the bottle, Get some sort of silicone mat. Follow directions in video up to when you empty the excess Isomalt. After you dump the excess Isomalt you will set the mold open end down on the silicone mat. so that as the Isomalt cools, and the warm Isomalt flows down the mold it will flow down to the open part and will form a bottom for the bottle

[@MoooseTastic]

That was one of the most exceptional video tutorials on youtube, well thought out and easy to understand. I can honestly say if I lived in the US I would be ordering from you despite having no real need for the product, excellent presentation. Well done :)

[@jcrefasi1]

Excellent series of tutorials! I am amazed at how closely the pouring of isomalt resembles slip pouring in ceramics. I found the instructions to be some of the best I've seen. So simple and clear. Please do more!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

It has been a progression of many years of owning my own business and finding that niche that the market needs.

[@fmlphotography]

Wonderful series. You made my night and hopefully, my production. I'll be sending you money soon..

[@emilyspooner9872]

Thanks so much for the video!! I just had one question! How did you make the bottom of the bottle?

[@carlamg1973]

WOW!!! Thank you soooo much for this!!! I had been looking to learn how to do this forever and your tutorial is just wonderful!!! Again, thank you!!! I will share this with all my cake decorating pals!!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Thanks for the compliment! Making molds and using them to create fun stuff is pretty addictive!

[@choseylover24]

Great video. But how would I make a mold for a pint size liquor bottle? The square, flat shaped bottle. Would a round tube work for this shape? TIA

[@HarmonHeat]

That was a great set of vids buddy!

[@fmlphotography]

Wonderful series. You made my night and hopefully, my production. I'll be sending you money soon..'

[@dreesparza941]

Finally after hours of searching the web I found this video and websites that isn't charging an arm and a leg for molding material

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Hello Sculpy, You never the what the production team is up to...just have to wait and see. ;-)

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@Namielus If you want a bottom on your bottle, pour out most of the sugar but not all of it. Then place it bottom side down on a silicone mat or some other non stick surface. The sugar or isomalt will fill the bottom and cool that way.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@DitzyDom to create a bottom on the bottle, you would not pour out all the sugar from the mold and then set the mold right side up on a non stick surface so that the remaining sugar inside the mold will run to the bottom and once cooled will create the bottom you seek. Cake Decorators want the bottle open on the bottom so they can be placed into a cake easier.

[@PobrengMaot]

I watched everything, I actually enjoyed watching you. Nice video!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Yes, you can make the sugar bottle have bottom. All you need to do is have a silicone mat to add to your supply list, then skip ahead in this video to minute 5, when you see Chef scraping the excess Isomalt "strings" from the opening in the mold, he then places the mold open side up to finish cooling, if you want a sugar bottom, you can set the mold open side down on the mat, let it cool, the warm isomalt will then flow downwards, and the sugar will fill the bottom of the bottle

[@johnman559]

Thanks for the advice there!!😃👍.. I watched these videos over the years a few times and I'm finally doing it in my kitchen this afternoon👍👍😊🍻

[@siranushgasparyan1215]

amazing. learnt alot.thank you for the nice explanation videos.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Dear Millimixxx, The tiny bubbles you are experiencing are normal. It is called pitting, and is a natural reaction between the silicone and the Isomalt. If you take a culinary torch and lightly pass the flame over the Isomalt Gem, this will "melt" the outer exterior and remove the Isomalt layer with the tiny bubbles.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

noimadfritz - thanks for taking the time to comment on my video. I am glad you found it usefull. Stay tuned - more videos coming soon. - Dominic

[@themosqueters]

Please do more. You are amazing!!!!

[@MugiwaraWeb3]

Gray video goes into such details

[@MSDMFilms]

Fantastic Turtorial! Thank you very much, I'll definetally use this method for making Sugar Glass Bottles.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Thanks messedup877, Positive feedback is so great to receive!

[@TheCoffeeDoctor]

i was first looking at the indy mogul version of this but i thought it was too quick and it didn't explain enough so i clicked on this and i must say this video was very welldone and very helpfull thank you. but just one question where can i get the liquid rubber compound without ordering it offline cause my parents hate shopping online?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

HI Lex Jackro, You are going to have to somehow create a bottle before you can make a custom mold of it. You can create your bottle using Sculpy Polymer Clay, bake it and then use it to make a mold. Sculpy can be found at most local craft stores.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

After the nervousness passed, and your mold was cured, how did the mold turn out?

[@bass694]

There is no bottom to the bottles

[@whoohaaXL]

When the iso-malt is almost fully drained, put it on a flat gasketed surface and it will collect at the bottom and hence, you'll have a bottom.

[@bass694]

@@whoohaaXL Woah I was like 10 when I commented that that lmao, time flies lol

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

We have plans to do so in the near future. Thanks for asking! If, however, you want to see a video sooner rather than later. Chef Charity George did a video for Craftsy on everything you need to know about isomalt. She used our isomalt and a few of our molds. Go to our website and click on the Crafty Classes link.

[@manooch85]

Thank you for uploading these videos, they are very helpful. Would you be able to upload instructional videos on how to make isomalt, and colored isomalt?

[@BrookeAndLucyFilms]

Great video! very clear instructions

[@NoVoiceGameplay]

I think it would be great to make some sort of a mold for just the bottom end of the bottle. So instead letting the residue sugar icing go to waste you could put the bottle mold on top of the bottom mold and let the sugar form a nice bottom. That would make a perfect and full beer bottle :)

[@matthiasschulze393]

very good video series...i guess the temperature of the isomalt is critical? if it is too hot, then one will have too thin of bottle wall that might crack during demolding?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Hello Fikale, The sugar glass is made with the isomalt, which is mentioned in the video. Isomalt is a form of sugar made from beets. It is often used as a sugar substitute in sugar work.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

vitormangraviti, Your first paragraph is the exact way we tell our customers to form a bottom. Thank you for your reply to Sculpey1. Have a great week!

[@Millimixxx]

Hi! I love your videos! They are so informative and fun! I have a question about isomalt. I have several silicone molds and all of them have the same problem. When I pour into them, I get tiny bubbles on the surface of my gems every time. I've tried everything to avoid them from cooling my isomalt in the oven to 165 F to heating the molds prior to pouring to avoid difference in temperature. Have you ever had such problem and can you give me your advice on how to fix it? Thank you so much!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@GodlovesA7X to create a bottom on the bottle, you would not pour out all the sugar from the mold and then set the mold right side up on a non stick surface so that the remaining sugar inside the mold will run to the bottom and once cooled will create the bottom you seek.

[@raphaellebakes]

Thanks for the tutorial.. If you don't mind how to mold the fondant with the mold which has been cut?? ... thanks once again...

[@tanakaus]

wooow!!amazing!!!......did you make it only with isomalt??and what kind of colour you put into the isomalt??thanks!!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

We have plans to do so in the near future!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

You are very welcome, it's really my pleasure - Dominic

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Go to the website referenced in the description for this video. Click on Isomalt and scroll down....there you will find the "Isomalt Bible" everything you need to know. Subscribe to this channel because I am making a complete video on how to cook Isomalt. - Dominic

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@ADFilmsOfficial Where are you having it shipped to? We are in the United States

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Yes you can. However, a word of caution, the bottle is made of sugar and will dissolve. If you are going to drink out of the sugar bottle, do so quickly. The bottle is really more of a prop and novelty item.

[@Dinoman217]

It turned out perfect!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Yvonne, Thank you for your kind comments. Have a great week.

[@BrightAfternoonProductionsPlus]

You should sell pre-made molds!

[@vitormangraviti]

I was talking about the melted sugar... If you stop dropping the melted sugar early enough to have some "spare" sugar inside the mold, it would simply fall over the silicon flat surface by using gravity and form a flat bottom. If one wants to use a proper bottle-like bottom, they will need to make a mold out of silicon.

[@chilifry101]

Thanks and what recipie did you use for the bottle????

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Dear Sculpey1 at this time we do not sell pre made bottle molds, you can join the mailing list on the website associated with this video to see what new products we come out with. You might find something very useful in the next 5-6 months! to create a bottom of a beer bottle you can follow the directions given by vitormangraviti ( a reply to your question above) if you substitute their word "icing" for Isomalt, you pretty much have the correct answer.

[@yOmOmO1231]

@Namielus i was just thinking maby have a piece to stick on top of the mould when you pour the sugar into it and that piece would be the shape of the bottom which would give you the concave shape

[@PierreaSweedieCat]

My only complaint is that the sound for the voice, was a little bit soft in places, and I had to crank up the volume all the way to hear you. Otherwise, your camera work is superb. Your explanations, tips, and secrets are amazing. I stumbled in these by pure accident, and may never make a sugar mold bottle in my life.... but you explained one of the great mysteries of the movies to me. Now if only I can think of a USE (or need) to do this... I might try it on my own!

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

IF you properly store your Isomalt, and then remelt the Isomalt you can get the same effect. Please note that the more you reheat Isomalt and the longer you hold it at a high temperature (280 and up) It will cause the Isomalt to cook further and become an amber color. If you are already coloring your Isomalt a brown color for your bottles you will not need to worry about the discoloration. If you would like further information please consult the website associated with this video

[@aniary8]

Hi Dominic, thank you for this. It is awesome! I was wondering if you could make a silicone bottle using this method please? is your silicone that runny to produce a silicone bottle using this method please?!

[@JAMOoneverything]

How do you keep the extra Sugar glass mixture hot when the mold is cooling down?

[@Fikale]

Amazing job but how you make the sugar glass?

[@lyndim100]

Hi Dominic, I purchased your beer bottle mold kit and was wondering how much isomalt do I use for a beer bottle?

[@ModernMortal]

If making a container say for a custom glass looking bottle that isn't edible but able to store liquids in. such as a vial pendant about as long as 2 inches and one inch wide of oval shape, what would you recommend to use for a clear effect?

[@elishabaev1081]

Dear Dominic Palazzolo! I shoot short films and sometimes I need something to break)) I really liked your technique and I would like to buy your Mold Kits. But ... what to do with him not having the full recipe sugar glass (no bubbles)? You can help me?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Eli, check out our website for information www.makeyourownmolds.com/mold-making-kits.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

At this time we only sell the kits to make your own.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Our Silicones have been testing in private laboratories for food safeness. We have them tested for water based foods as well as fatty foods. Food Grade Silicone is what you will be purchasing from Make Your Own Molds.com

[@Dinoman217]

The curing of the silicone felt like the results of a blood test; I was a bit nervous for fear that it wasn't going to cure correctly!

[@kendalchen]

Would this material lend itself to making a simple hollow object, like...a big chocolate egg or a bunny?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

this method will work to mold a can, The kits where designed to give the exact amount of supplies you would need to make a standard beer bottle mold. the only thing you need to make sure of is that there is the adequate amount of silicone in the kit for your can project. You will need to measure your can and make sure the dimensions are the same as the bottle so that you get enough silicone as well as the adequately sized Tube-It. call us with any further questions 1.800.333.5678

[@Mobile_Dom]

ii dont get how you did the bottom, is it hollow (no bottom) or did the residue somehow form one ?

[@yeyisilva80]

Great videos :) ♥

[@yvonneacosta8926]

WOW!!!! I love you Videos thank you so much

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

How did you like the process?

[@LittleCazzy]

Would it be possible to make a bottle mold that has on open to so that you could fill it and drink from it like you can with the glasses, and if so how would you go about doing it?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Yes. Create the mold exactly as described in this video. You will want your Isomalt bottle to have a bottom here is how to create a bottom on your bottle: When you get to the step at minute 5 of this video, you will "wipe" the excess Isomalt strings from the opening of the mold. I then set the mold on the counter with the opening of the mold up. To close up the bottom of the bottle, you will set the mold on a silicone mat with the opening of the mold down on the silicone mat. The Isomalt will flow down the mold to the bottom and create a bottom on he bottle. Allow to completely cool in this position. Unmold sugar bottle. heat a drill bit with a kitchen torch and slowly and carefully use the heated drill bit to create a hole in the bottle cap. you can then use a funnel to pour your liquid into your bottle and drink from it. You will have about 10 minutes before the liquid will begin to dissolve the sugar bottle.

[@Alvitus]

Hi! This tutorial is GREAT! But you forget to explain how to close the low part of the bottle! The other bottles that you show are closed, but doing as you teach, our one will be opened by the bottom! Show us how to do :)

[@richardradice7574]

Is there a difference between the silicone product you use and Smooth On products or any other molding silicone products?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Thanks!

[@vitormangraviti]

I would just stop dumping the icing back onto the container a bit earlier and put it on a flat silicon surface. The rest of the icing would just sit there and when it cools down, the bottom will be formed. You can even make a bottom-of-bottle-like surface to let the mold sit on for a few minutes.

[@Sculpey1]

OK, How you make a bottom for the bottom of the bottle? You should sell the per made molds.

[@Dear_Megan]

I really enjoyed watching all parts of this video. I was recently introduced to mold making with plaster, and I really enjoy using that material. I've been doing a ton of research on how to make a hollow bottle like this, however I don't think I want to use sugar seeing as though I want to keep it for a years to come as decoration. I've never used silicon before nor have I used latex. If I made the silicon mold just like you did, do you think I could use a couple coats of latex as a substitute for the sugar?. Thank you for making these videos, I definitely learned some new things. :)

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Megs, Great question. You will want to apply our Release-Dit™ to the interior of the silicone mold. You will want do a test to make sure the two do not bond together, and that the latex fully cures. You can find the Release-Dit™ on my web page here: www.makeyourownmolds.com/how-to-use-release-dit

[@arpitparashar7298]

Please answer i do have a doubt that i you pour isomalt from the boytom. Side of the bottle mold then how did you got a perfect base of the sugar bottle?

[@Alvaro357sig]

Thanks Is there a video that shows how to make the isomalt mix you are using? Thanks again

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

HI Dick I do not have a video yet on how to cook Isomalt. It is very simple. Instructions come with the Isomalt when you purchase it from the website associated with this video. Unfortunately KZbin does not allow me to add direct links to webpages or I would do that for you. If you go to the website linked to this video you will see Isomalt for sale and on that page there are instructions on how to cook it once you scroll down the page. Have a great week!

[@BrightAfternoonProductionsPlus]

If I just bought 1 pound of CopyFlex™ would that be enough to make this mold?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Thank you very much - that means a lot to me.

[@Freakychef07]

would your kit work to mold a can ?

[@cher4228]

Hi Dominic I am wanting to make a corona beer bottle - just wondering if there is any way I can make it such that the top part of the bottle is clear & the rest of it is yellowish (like beer). I was hoping to make it as a hollow bottle. Thank you x

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@jcrefasi1 Thank you! We're working on our next video, so stay tuned!

[@CamShaft1979]

that was awsome

[@12beav]

looks yummy

[@gaillardnoelstuntteamsifuo2182]

what you you do that the suggar is not sticky ?? my Isomalt its ever Sticky

[@zuhairabohadba9835]

do you sell the holl mold on your website becouse i felt like its kinda hard for me to make

[@upcycle]

The isomalt is like honey or a thick maple syrup, in it's consistancy.

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

@MoooseTastic - Thank you very much for your comment. I really enjoy making these videos and try to put as much information as I can into them. It is very rewarding to hear that you appreciated it. Thanks again - Dominic

[@briansantella4022]

but the sugar is normall yellow after you make it how is yours brownish?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

Thanks for the comments, carlamg1973. I am glad you found it useful.

[@lucassirotich8817]

Just gonna open that puppy lol

[@Namielus]

hey! What about the bottom of the bottle?

[@MakeYourOwnMolds]

The bottom is left open.

[@MermaidBlueberry99]

How do you make Isomalt at home?

[@hinatahiyouga]

Can we drink of it?

[@TheAstrophysicist23]

is it sticky

[@idopyrotechnics]

How was the bottom formed

[@chilifry101]

What recipie is that for the bottles

[@GhostxAnarchy]

Nice ! Thanks a lot !

[@borov788]

you maked a bottle without bottom, but with closed top??
