I was trying to find a way to make the gift set of dice that I created in my previous video into an even better gift for my friend, so I thought making a dice box would be perfect! But then, I didn't want to just make any old dice box, I wanted to create something new and unique for him, so badabing badaboom, we made some resin dice boxes!
I know that these are not perfect, and heck, I happen to like that about them! If you'd like to see me try some premade molds to see what I can create, let me know, and I'd be happy to give it a shot!

Helpful tip for larger silicone molds like this. AS you're doing other mold projects save all your silicone scraps. Cut them up into smaller chunks and you can use them as filler for cases exactly like this where you don't want to waste silicone filling large voids.

[@Rybonator]

Oh good idea! I could have used that in the centers of the boxes!

[@moogleman3918]

Yep. I've been using this trick for a bit now. Luckily I came across this tip early on in my resin/silicone research. I even save the little shreds from the silicone mixing cups.

[@PersoMena]

Oh dangit, I shoulda saved all my junked silicone molds that I'd made and then gave up on rather than throwing them away. I'm not going to stress too much about that right now (trying to get rid of some of my "junk" so that I have less stuff to pack when I finally move), but I'll definitely remember this.

[@martjanamoon1785]

first of all: love these boxes, especially the purple one, because i loooveeed those purple dice i got an idea recently and it got stuck in my head, but it´s probably really ambitious and complicated: enviroment dice. like there is a lil cute enviroment in the dice, maybe a tree or a little beach or lake so i don´t know if dice are too little for that, but i at least wanted to write this idea down because i don´t have the time, the patience nor the equipment to do something like that :D

[@quasimofo6811]

I've seen some people do things like that in extra large d20s. Off the top of my head I've seen one with a ship on the ocean (which I am not-so-patiently waiting for the maker to start selling) and another that showed kraken tentacles rising from water (which was sadly a one-off that auctioned for waaaay more than I can spend on dice). I've also got a set of dice with actual seashells on a "beach" which I like a lot.

[@leahnzastrzelecki5217]

You can possibly do resin layer painting--make a couple small disks of resin, paint them to the effect you want for that layer with whatever you're comfortable using, then glue them together inside your mold with more resin--but its only going to be visible from certain angles, even if you paint both top and bottom of each layer. You can plug "resin layer painting" into youtube to find a few examples, but not any dice. Another possibility is making premade, extra tiny charms for special objects like trees, etc., painting those, and casting your dice in layers--like top is clear sky and clouds, upper middle layer for alcohol ink to make water and inserting fish charms, lower middle layer for rocks and seaweed and a darker alcohol ink, bottom is mica powder to look like sand. You'd just have to be careful what you make the charms out of and how much glitter, sand, or whatever you're adding to avoid weighting the dice too badly.

[@wilhelmczorniczek1424]

I love these. I‘d have a challenge for you: World Creation dice! A bunch of dice you throw over a blank sheet of paper and depending on what lands where you determine wether there‘s forest, cities, villages etc. What do you think?

[@ArtemisDalmasca]

Tonight I learned that my 5 year old loves watching you make dice. He got so excited when I promised him we would watch more tomorrow ☺️

[@laurenhahn8569]

That purple glitter and gunmetal box is the coolest box I've ever seen. I didn't know it was possible to me envious of a box. It looks like an alien artifact exploding into pure magic.

[@TheLadyloin]

Honestly, glueing a figure like a pouncing animal to the top of the uneven lid would make it look purposeful

[@LittilFlames]

Hello again fellow dice fan! Hope that everyone is having a good day.

[@Rybonator]

Thanks for shining some like in the comments! You go Littil

[@XaviusNight]

Frankly, I'm just glad this was a such a crate idea. You really kept the ideas contained, kept inside the box, but with some neat ideas that just barrelled through the normal limitations.

[@InterKnight2007]

These look absolutely incredible. I absolutely don't need another hobby, but you make me want to resin cast all the things...

[@thebuttedemonslayer]

WHY DONT YOU HAVE A ETSY? I would totally buy either dice or these from you!

I do, but I don't sell dice on there. Right now it's just a hobby :)

Rybonator ok. Have you put any thought into doing a video on layered resin dice? Or putting images inside them? I just thought those would be interesting.

[@tailsdollfan99]

@@Rybonator Ever thought about taking commissions on dice if you'd rather not mass-make to sell? I love the way you do your dice as whole, so it'd be great fun to commission a custom set!

For larger things that you need to pressure/vac pot you can build a half moon stand and put the pot on its side. Then build a slide in platform so that it gives the side of the pot, now the bottom of the pot a flat base for your molds. Works beautiful, hope this helps. 🙂

You probably already know this, but from one person who regularly molds shapes with large cavities and doesn’t like wasting expensive silicone, DEFINITELY cut up and use any old silicone molds you done want anymore as space fillers. As you said, silicone sticks to silicone as long as you’re not mixing platinum and tin cure, so it’s great for filling in spaces and recycling old molds so you don’t feel bad about throwing them out! They may not always been the prettiest molds but they’re cost effective for sure!

Love all your videos. I just ordered everything I need to make some of my own. I do the Petrie dish method with ashtrays. FYI what you did is a bloom method. For Petrie dish you fill the mold then ad drops of the alcohol inks then a sinking white like blanco blanco (my go to sinking white) over top of the first color/colors. You can add more drops of the colors then more white, then leave it. The sinking white will do all the work for you. Would love to see you do this in one of your videos.
