Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.This video shows how easy it is to make a mould and to cast resin beads. They really came out beautiful. It is also a mould that can be used many time. You could add clear resin and then pop little bits inside like small dried flowers or stones etc. There is no stopping the creativity you could come up with for these. When they are cast you can add the little bead caps to them to finish them off. Have fun.

Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video! I have searched for ions for someone to create a silicone mold for holed beads! I know this video is a bit aged, but it JUST came up from my search. Whew! Off to duplicate your much appreciated efforts!!

I know I'm a bit late to this video but I just wanted to say thank you!! Not just for the tutorial but also for your uplifting style of instruction -- I just felt so happy watching you! :D Going to try this soon!

Great tip about heating up the knife to cut off rough bits smoothly. Thanks.

[@spikelett2751]

This video is helpful thank you! I tend to make molds of other things that I can't find in stores or things I have that are one of a kind. I will say that when it comes to beads I prefer to just buy the mold because it is about, $3.00 - $5.00 USD. That's just my personal preference for bead molds specifically! Thank you for the video!!! 😁😁

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I just finished up with the chocolate chip bars, and dipped the peppermint patties into chocolate and doing a 1/2 batch of Mexican wedding cookies...My aid leaves a post on FB what she wants saved for her but thats her Christmas present so hope she likes the present. I want to mold some things as well and I might try the silicone and cornstarch method to make moulds.. I watched a couple of videos.

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I need a dedicated craft room but I think once I get the shelving unit in I will be able to get organized and be more careful to put things where they go its a hot mess at the moment. It's a shame you can't have a moment in those exotic places but I understand job constraints and the task at hand comes first.

With the resin do you not use hardener?

Awesome

[@LiveSleepResin]

Did you glue the beads in the mold first?

Would a mould for 2-4mm beads work?

Beautiful Amazing what can be done with Resin😁💯👍🏾

Hi Steve, very nice video and easy to follow and see as all your others...I just thought you said you would post a link to the supplies you used it maybe list them? I am wondering what kind of silicone you use and also what kind of resin? Thanks so much Steve!

[@karena.buckley1190]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts awww Steve...no problem...you are super nice and very creative...and now I did see more of your videos and you did mention Resin 8... there is a gal in here doing tons of videos for resin jewelry for teenagers...very cute stuff...but she refuses to give her supply information...it is super frustrating as for people who are just hobbyists like myself...I just discovered that there are so many different BRANDS of resin alone with all different qualities and it is very expensive to buy and learn as u r going along...what about ur molds...do u make them or buy them? Thank you and wishing you so much success in your channel!

[@gatanegracreations]

Very cool! I'm going to try the hot knife on polymer clay. ❤️

[@gatanegracreations]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Hi again Steve, I discovered a wood burning tool works great for fixing resin. I have a Plaide Stencil Cutter and bought additional nibs from Willow Hollow for wood burning. The pen gets up to 750 degrees and it works great to soften the resin. I just rub the warm piece on a cold smooth tile and all my newbie mistakes are Melting away! 😁 Thanks again for the inspiration! ❤

[@SoniSoni-wp7xz]

I love your videos... BUT (there's always a "but", huh?! 🤦🏻‍♀️) I would have LOVED to see HOW you removed the beads from the mold so that I do understand HOW to removed them from my "made" mold 🙂 Also, for some reason or another, this video DID NOT show the "link video" to the "how to make a silicone mold" video that you said was in a previous episode 🙂
