Making silicone soap moulds with Pinkysil - Bonus weekly video | Soy and Shea

[@belindaayewoh437]

I'm a newbie at soap making. Didn't know I could make a mold. What a great idea! Thank you so much. You're fabulous!

[@SoyandShea]

Have fun making them 🧡

[@pamweber6013]

Thank you so very much !! You've answered many questions and taken away much of the fear I had about making molds! I'm one of your greatest fans and ALWAYS learn something! God bless you and yours!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 once you make your first mould, you'll want to turn everything into a mould 🤣

[@pamweber6013]

@@SoyandShea my hubby will be mortified I'm sure! Thankfully you stayed the course and did the leg work with the failures and took it to the finished product! Yet another lesson for me. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!! Luv n hugs, Pammy Jo.

[@SoyandShea]

@@pamweber6013 failures should be looked as as lessons learned or they may also end up being happy accidents too

@@SoyandShea every loaf, especially those that aren't our vision or we think aesthetically nice might be beautiful to another. I tire a bit more quickly and when I rest I troll social sites as well as study a class I'm in. Soaping gives me release and every bar is like a birthday or Christmas 🎁. I never know for certain what will be revealed! You've taught me a great deal and and for that I'm very grateful.

Great job doing the molds

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you ❤

[@soapsforlove4168]

Oh My, I never would have thought to glue them down and that it actually stick to fresh fruit. Great video. I really appreciate you sharing this.

[@SoyandShea]

You just have to make sure your fruit is dry to get it to stick 🧡

[@sheilaanderson912]

Wonderful video. Thank you so much for demonstrating!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching 🧡

[@jessicapatole1245]

Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve been watching them all day! I wonder if you could pop the molds in the freezer to make the fruit come out easier?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤ that is a great suggestion. Next time I make moulds I will try freezing them once the silicone has set and let you know 😊

[@karibalam1668]

Thank you for making this video. Very detailed and I appreciated seeing your molds being made beginning to end. So professional looking and the details look amazing. So much better than the tube silicone procedure with dish soap! Looking forward to seeing what you create🍍🍓(no blueberries)

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you. It's such a good product and I was amazed by the detail and how easy it is. Lol - there's no raspberry emoji either

[@SarahZeeb]

Thank you for sharing. That is a very nice kit and does look easy to do. 1 for 1 takes all the guess work out of it. My mom and I bought a kit once to do candle embeds and it ended in a mess before we even got to the melting the mp wax. I will definitely look at this one.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching ❤ it is such an easy product to use. I too have had experience with ones that require a lot more measurements and it ended up being very expensive from waste.

[@LadyGecko]

I am learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching and allowing me to share what I love ❤

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

A lot of great information, I have not yet tried those mixes, might try it soon, thanks so much for sharing

[@SoyandShea]

It's rather addictive once you start. 🧡

You are absolutely awesome for this video! I'm excited to try now! 😉👍

[@jillgross543]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I can do this for all the little miniatures I'd love to use on my soaps!!!

It's great for doing things like that. Really adds that special individual touch

[@naturescaresshandmadesoaps4723]

Great video as usual. I will definitely be trying this as agree it’s super expensive buying moulds fromThe US.

[@SoyandShea]

It's more the postage that makes them expensive. 😊 The moulds themselves are very reasonable but this way you can make anything

[@bettykuykendall2083]

AWESOME BLOSSOM 💚⚘💙 I Like It.! Very informative and I thought you covered all the bases.♥️

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you.

[@EbonyRainandMogzDivination]

Can Pinkysil be used to make candles too? Loved the vid- so informative. Love it. xxxx

[@SoyandShea]

Do you mean can you make a mould for candle making? If so, yes you can but you have to watch the temperature you poor at

[@JenSpice]

Nicely done! I love making my own molds too. Great video. :)Jen

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 I love that I now have unique moulds 😊

[@terrienelson760]

Genius. I totally understand how some time the price of shipping Is a big deterrent when making a purchase. Really hard to justify, well trying to keep cost of products down and make your money back. You found away to do that. Good job.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you. Sometimes shipping is worth it but on smaller items sometimes it's not. Especially with our exchange rate so low

[@janehall2720]

Thank you for all the details that you shared. I'm going to check out Amazon. In the past I have gotten them from vanulay but even in the USA it is pricey.

[@SoyandShea]

I've found sometimes Amazon lists it and sometimes it's not there so you may have to check back a few times.

[@RenascentBathBody]

Renascent Bath Body sell all of these types of moulds and are based in Australia with Australia Post shipping

[@aankrum1]

I’m wondering if you could pop the molds in the freezer and that way the fruits could pop out easier. I’m so excited to try and make my own molds!

[@SoyandShea]

That could work. Just make sure the silicone is completely set up first

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

Thank you, thank you. This excellent!!!

[@sharondonelow5364]

Thank you for sharing how you did your molds! And what product you used. I'll be looking for it on Amazon. Great tip to glue them in. I saw a mini video that showed pushing the fruit into it, but I like your gluing it down much better. Sure your video was long, but you gave us valuable tips and covered a lot of info. :)

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching. When I made this video, Amazon did have the pinkysil but then it disappeared. It does some up every so often though so just keep checking 😊

[@sharondonelow5364]

@@SoyandShea, it probably sells out quick and they have to wait to re-stock. I will keep checking. Have a great day and happy soaping! :)

[@leanneduggan9348]

Thanks, that was a really helpful video😀

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you ❤

[@laurielindahl1402]

I find that if I freeze my fruits first, they are as mushy when you take them out of the mold.

[@SoyandShea]

I found freezing fruit really wasn't helpful 😞 leaving the fruit unfrozen and fresh really helped with the detail

[@nancykelly9712]

Freezing causes condensation and makes the fruit unstable and go mushy. Everything needs to dry and firm to get a good imprint to remove.

[@matattas]

So creative thanks for sharing. I always use shopping applications or websites that offer free shipping when ordering with a specific price like ali express or those who will charge a standard shipping fee per order not per each item like iherb.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 I try using sites with free shipping but its usually built into the price somewhere so shop around to see what's best

[@RenascentBathBody]

If you want to easily pop the bubbles without moving the silicone - you can use a flame - match or lighter or burner - Hope that assists please ask if you need any information

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for the tip 😊

[@gina6608]

Thank you Keeley for sharing! So kind of you! 🤗 Love your vídeos!! You make it look so easy! I've been wanting to make berries molds too and you have inspired me!! 💕 I do have a quick question...I want to make a raspberry mold, but can't figure out how to hold it in the container, because I want the little hole of the raspberry imprinted in the mold, maybe its not a big deal, but I'd like to know what tips you'd have for that one, I'd really appreciate it!! Have you made a raspberry mold Keeley? Thanks again !!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you Gina ❤ Pinkysil is the easiest mould making material I have worked with. I have made a Raspberry mould and it is best to use fresh raspberries. If you are wanting to mould the Raspberry with the hole, you will lose another part like the top or side. Because they are a small and delicate fruit, it would be fiddly to make a full 3D mould. Like I did with the other fruit you would glue the raspberries into your mould with the hole either pointing up or laying the raspberries on their sides. Just keep in mind the weight of the silicone may distort the fruit. I made mine so that I put glue around the hole and stuck these down. I then got a whole Raspberry and when I want the extra detail of the hole, I get one of the cake/clay decorating tools to scoop the hole out. Hope that helps and makes sense.

[@nicolenielsendepaula3597]

Hi there! Great, really great video! Just have a question, if I try to do a mould and I run out of pinkysil during the process, is it possible to add more pinkysil after the first part is already dry? Or it has to be all at the same time? Thanks for the info and your work ♥

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you for watching ❤ as long as you work quickly enough, you can add more silicone to what has been poured but you need to do it before it fully sets. If it's full set, the layers won't bond so you'll have a hole.

You should do a video on how you would make a macaroon mold :-) I priced a few on ebay and amazon and they are really expensive and the molds are tiny. Wondering how you would make one. Do a video for all of us :-) Please :-)

[@SoyandShea]

I would make a macaroon the same way. I would buy some, split them in two, put in a casting mould and pour silicone. However, the cost of buying the fresh macaroons is far more than buying a ready made mould.

[@justaddlivingwater]

Is pinky shipping to the us?

[@justaddlivingwater]

Thank you u u a seeded that question..

[@SoyandShea]

There were places at the time of the video but I've not found anyone lately that does.

[@beautyfox6683]

its true shipping to Australia from usa is usally 3 times the acual cost of the item were buying.

[@SoyandShea]

It's usually the same anywhere 😔 though I have learned when buying in from thw US to get several things to fill that flat rate box

[@rybsts7996]

Does Barnes deliver in The United States?

[@SoyandShea]

Just checked their website and it says yes. Go to www.barnes.com.au and ready the delivery information found at bottom of page

[@salemthorup9536]

Can you provide a link for the American Amazon listing?

[@SoyandShea]

Hi, if you search for Pinkysil on Amazon it will bring it up. Being in Australia it won't show me the best listings for you 😊

[@salemthorup9536]

@@SoyandShea, I've looked a couple times and I don't see it. At least not the Pinkysil brand. I will see if I deduce what brand available to me might be most like Pinkysil. Thanks for your video!!
