I love watching you Steve, I don’t often comment but I always like. Thanks for being my teacher. To Sir with love. 💕

[@nisar8009]

One great thing is that after your mold is worn out you can cut it up and toss the pieces in to the next mold you make. It takes up spaces and costs less.

[@rebeccaallen1752]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. and also appreciate your humor. You’re an amazing human and I appreciate you ❤

[@moondancerdrake5028]

One thing we used to do in the prop shop back in the day to create boxes for molds is we used Legos and we would build up a mold box of Legos and then just remove the Legos when we were done. So basically building the wall from Legos and then just you know hot glue or clay or something just right around the bottom to make sure there's no leaking

[@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts]

Great tip

[@gayletaira1763]

Your videos are so much fun to watch! And I love your singing; it makes me smile 😊. I learn so much about crafting when I watch your videos. Thank you!❤🎉😊

[@Fran-hw8pd]

Thanks to Steve I've started doing and sailing my projects. Also thanks Steve for introducing me to all my tools,resin bubble and curing machine. Thanks again Steve you helped this 50yr old start and enjoy a new hobby

[@LisaVornhagen]

You are so fun to watch, Steve! I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!

[@roguered706]

Perfect timing! I have some silicone coming tomorrow for my first ever attempt at making a mold. This video is a boost to my confidence. Wish me luck!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

@roguered706 Good luck. I hope it goes really well for you. Have fun!

[@pattyharrison6386]

Good luck and stick with it keep learning 👍 ❤

[@athomas1124]

Absolutely love your videos

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

What a wonderful tutorial, Steve! ❤ Thank you so much! 😊💕👍 Ooooh! What if...? You coated the interior with mica or chameleon powder (or leave plain) the painted thin, built up layers of UV resin to create a hollow "shell", then made a wee diorama? Fill with clear resin (if you want), let cure. Cute ornaments, necklaces... I think they'd sell well! GREAT video!

[@janeturner3535]

You are so fun to watch. I learn many techniques and a few no no's.

[@alisie1]

I am fairly new to resin and you are such a great teacher! Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.❤

[@lisalashes47]

I've been desperate to make my own moulds, but was worried to at the same time! So once again Steve, thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤

[@BelindaMellor]

You make me smile

[@eilish27]

Thanks so much for another fantastic video. I absolutely love all of them! Sending love from Ireland ❤️

[@BassResinator]

Lots of good how-tos.

[@gerripeter484]

Cool idea and it has many possibilities for making molds

[@faeriejenn8019]

They look like brains! I love it!

[@sheenamoore3938]

Love watching you especially when you have a "mad"moment😂😊 Been watching you for years n don't often leave a comment.

[@witch1370]

so nice i love it 😊

[@AAbstractArtist22]

Thank you for the information!

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

Great information on how to make a mold. Steve, I always learn from you and have a good time watching your videos. ❤❤❤

[@happymomma06]

Great idea they turned out amazing. A idea came to me when I saw you remove them. When Halloween comes around those can be used as skulls, just an idea..

[@bobbiroberts6788]

I just love your channels!

[@SomethingQuickly]

Another wonderful video, you're so kind and encouraging, it's an absolute pleasure to see your content every week 💜✨

[@doreenwatson-read]

Wow I have been procrastinating over making moulds. Thankyou Steve. am I the only one who thought that when you varnished the nuts they looked like something secret on a man.

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Thanks for making this video Steve, I have been unsure about making molds for myself but after watching how easy it was.for you, I think I will give it a go. I love your method for creating a box using tape, that was very handy to know as well. Also thanks for the links in the description, they make life so much easier. Have a great week!

[@mariverhagen8082]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@karenmusa3052]

Thanks very much hon ❤

[@dianawoodall9897]

If you put them in soda crystal they come out beautifully

[@dcruicks1]

Cool idea

[@liadubruyn5285]

Thank you Steve. Another great very informative video. ❤

[@craftinghome]

Great tips, as always, for a lovely detailed, shiny, mould. I got some of the jdiction silicone mould compound a while back, but of course I've been procrastinating.... hopefully this is the kick up the arse I need to get on with it!

[@Frank.B.Crafts]

My biggest bit of advice is to make sure your table is as level as you can possibly make it. I have so many molds i have bought that were obviously made on an unlevel surface. Fixing them was a pain.

[@genajones2823]

The colored ones made me think of Egyptian scarabs.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Very cool.. thankyou.. If you pour green into the walnut moulds they will look like froggies 😊

[@TheBlaktygres]

😂😂😂😂 It was the "yeeeeheee" for me.😂😂😂

[@tammytoth5874]

Lol I immediately saw Turkey shapes with those walnut shells

[@lauraparker8866]

😂😂😂😂 laughing about making that box just delighted my soul.

[@donnayount2094]

You have the most amazing mind to think of different things to make. I have a question for you, when you make resin things, could you put them in water after they are cured. Like putting a resin frog or turtle in a fish tank with real fish?

[@barbseed4434]

Boing! Boing! Boing😅😅 . Thanks for this tutorial on making the box to hold the item for molding, that has always been my conundrum . You're the best!

[@stephgaldos1744]

love the idea havent been here in a while but im glad to watch, i wonder if without the gloss can i use it for polymer clay?

[@bonny9680]

Lovely little brains 🧠 😂

[@beverlytinsley-minniefield2434]

Steve you are a hoot, love the boing, boing, boing 😂😂 So could you use uv resin in your mold being that it is semi-translucent?

[@yohanessileshi-xz4qd]

Can i recycle the mold ( silcon mold) to other job?? 🙏🙏

[@AceOfSpades5157]

Found this because i am trying to find easy ways to make warhammer 40K bases. How does the silicon react to clays and sands and glues? I'd have to make a couple bases first to pour the silicon over

[@shaldal6198]

Try filling the shells next time so less likely silicone seeps into them.

[@Alucard96744]

I have a resin pice a friend made for me and I think it's polyurethane resin would It inhibit curing of silicone?

[@HO-bndk]

For safety's sake, please use a steel ruler for cutting with a knife.

[@itube101a]

mate i'm plaining to do whole fruit mold, need help how to make it look perfect, i want the mold so i can make sweets of it but i want the shape looks perfect and shows full fruit from both sides i have no idea how to make it

[@vezhopkins714]

@ the title - Im sorry what ???!!! XD XD XD

[@sharonkayboone7043]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesleyfitzgerald5702]

😊

[@jenniferdougdebnar2286]

The walnut shells almost look like little fat frogs. 😂

[@RaynaBArt]

❤😊

[@LauraCastro-df1cn]

👌🏻👍🏻😄👏🏻

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

👍🏽❤️🤗

[@donaldgenenavarro]

[@lisaroberts23]

Sort of look like little toads

[@ToyaJWilliams]

This is actually brilliant, thank you so much for sharing! Do you perhaps have a recommendation for an alternative silicone set as the one you’ve linked is not available right now? 🫶🏽
