HOW TO MAKE CHEAP, LIGHTWEIGHT & FLEXIBLE EMBELLISHMENTS WITH SILICONE MOULDS

[@themoonglo3396]

When I work with sealants and some silicones, I put manageable amounts into disposable pastry bags. Easier to control and use.

[@BRIDGETSIMONSON-t1z]

I don't know if you'll see this, as this clip is a few years old, but if you want to save your hands from extra stress, cut open the caulking tube and scrape all the caulk into a seal tight jar. It will still be good, and not dry out.

[@shawnaferguson5819]

I was wondering about that. If it would work

[@reneemaurice9508]

I have been trying to find something cheap to make moulds with so they can bend like this thank you so much for this video 🥰

[@minervanieves5991]

Finally I found someone to make sense, thanks for the tip, your video is the best explaining flexible paste.

[@cherrygrace3535]

For delicate lacey molds, Modpodge is an ideal medium. It dries clear and bendable.

[@IvetaZiedina]

Ooooooo that’s so good to know! I’ll have to try it out over the weekend! Thank you for the tip! ❤️

[@alisonmary1443]

I haven't tried that, Thank you 👍

[@sharon94503]

Does it release from molds easily?

[@cherrygrace3535]

@@sharon94503 Yes, from silicone molds I had no problem.

[@superannieoakley4513]

Mod Podge?! Who knew! I'll have to give that a try. I used a thin lacy mold for the 1st time the other day & used air dried clay(out of curiosity) & it did not work! lol It was a mess. Love using my IOD molds on plastic baubles for Christmas ornaments, but I've seen a lot of people using the thinner lacy molds & wanted to give it a try. Just wasn't completely sure what type of medium to use. Now I've got a couple of new ideas. Thank you!

[@suebrown7882]

Good idea! It may be worth noting that not all flexible sealers can be painted over - so check label before buying if being used for painted projects.

The brand DAP is you can paint

My husband wonders why I'm on youtube all the time and it's because I keep coming across amazing people like you that have amazing ideas. My ? is. How do you store them and how long do they stay bendy.?

[@IvetaZiedina]

Hehehh that’s awesome! I just store them in a tin, honestly could do with a better system because I just throw them in there. They stay bendy forever. At least in my experience, I’ve had some for 2 years and they’re still bendy :)

Thank you 😊 I so glad to see at last someone from UK😅 I like your videos, a lot of practical information, straight to the point and very helpful. Following your instructions U have used Hard as Nails glue from company 151 (£1 Poundland) - works like a charm, now I am going to use flexible acrylic siliconized sealant (£1.50 Inexcess) . It so much fun when we can use something different than posh expensive brands. I am looking for nice lace/ texture silicone mould for baubles decorating, could you please recommend some? Its not easy to find something really nice. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@agiagata945]

And BTW warning - don't use "ever build external frame sealant" Doesn't dry even in very shallow moulds for several days, took me ages to remove this and clean my moulds. Thank you for all your videos, I watch them all the time and learn a lot from you 😅

Well I never Iveta, who would of thought that you could use window and door frame sealant or No Nails to make embellishments but of course you did lol!! of course, your just a fountain of knowledge xx

[@IvetaZiedina]

Hahaha trust me, I did not come up with all of this all by myself, I watch and learn from others just like yourself but when you start using other people’s knowledge you find that it might work different for you and you have to tweak a few things, find different materials etc. So you end up adding to the fountain of knowledge 😄

How do you store your molds? Do you make many ahead of time to use at a later date and how do you store those?

[@bittercokejjang]

Beautiful! I wonder if they are paintable as well like air drying clay? Btw thx a lot for sharing. New to decoupage art I found your channel rly informative so subbed to your channel. Thx! Greetings from Korea.

[@IvetaZiedina]

You can paint them, might have to do 2 coats as the surface is a bit more slippery but you can most definitely paint them :)

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Try putting a coat of gesso on first, especially the surface is more slick. It will help the paint adhere much easier.

[@wendysmith6611]

Do you need to or should you dust the mold with corn starch prior to putting the hard as nails in it. Like you do with air-dry clay....?

[@IvetaZiedina]

Hi! thank you for the comment! I'm now gathering information from fellow crafters on where they find their moulds :D A lot of people in the US say they buy them on Amazon, and if you go on redesign with prima website they have an online store locator so you can find other retailers. not many brick and mortar shops sell moulds, or at least not as large variety so looking online will be your best bet! :)

[@ingridinman9102]

Search for lace silicone mold on Amazon they have lots and you’ll have them really quit

[@lzrd8460]

Go to the Chinese shops on eBay where they sell lots of molds. Remember, it takes them a month or longer to reach you but the prices are very cheap. They don't have lovely designs like the IOD molds but to begin with, try the cheapo ones on eBay.

[@t0nyab.760]

Shein has molds! I dont know the quality of them since I just ordered and haven't gotten them yet.

[@nicolepsy]

I know this is an old post but I wanted to let everyone know that they are available at Michaels and JoAnn in the baking aisle. Just make sure you get the silicone and not the hard plastic. Also, Etsy has a lot and some will customize them for you!

[@conniebartch9656]

Where do you get your molds?

[@IvetaZiedina]

Lots of different places, eBay, AliExpress, more niche craft shops, search for sugar craft or decor silicone moulds, stuff like that ☺️

Depending on the shape/thinned of the mould, some very thin but deeper moulds like the ones I used on my “Victorian” style baubles before Christmas are really difficult to get out when wet so I use other stuff for those but for the most part you can take them out straight away ☺️

[@bibadiy2521]

It is very important that the silicone is acrylic. There is also acetate silicone and it can be used to make the mold itself. But acrylic silicone is used to fill the mold, to make decorations. If you can't peel it off the mold, you've probably used acetate and destroyed the mold. It has an unpleasant smell like strong vinegar.

Yes, silicone sticks to silicone!
