Tips For Using Polymer Clay with Silicone Molds

Just a few tips for using some of my more detailed molds, like the Miniature Succulents Mold you can find here on Etsy - www.etsy.com/listing/60077712...
**You could also place the mold filled with polymer clay in the freezer or fridge for a few minutes and that will harden the clay without curing, makes demolding tons easier**

[@cymbo12]

The first ones looked okay to me UNTIL the method. And wow what a difference! Thank you.

[@wolflahti412]

Before demolding, chill the filled mold in the refrigerator to firm up the clay and maintain crisp details.

[@murphchris5670]

can you put in the freezer because this happens to me as well.

[@bluetickbeagles116]

I’ve been working with polymer clay for a few years now, but I’m always very interested in learning new tricks. This is awesome for getting super crisp edges and a finished molded mini. Bravo and TY!

[@naomi.mp4]

I’m in the middle of trying to start a small business and this really helped me out…thank you so much for this video

[@Goldenfae]

How's it going so far? I also just started a small business on Etsy called Goldenfae, and I'm wondering if anybody has some tips

[@jemrawc]

WoW this is the best tutorial! To the point, no unnecessary chatter, excellently filmed so every detail is clearly viewed and the audio is crisp, clear and perfectly in sync with exactly what is on screen. Honestly never thought I’d have issues using a silicone mould and clay. Thinking how much simpler can a craft/project be for an adult?Lol…but then found myself struggling to find out why the pieces weren’t coming out with clear details and or flaws. I enjoyed and learned so much from this video that I became your newest subscriber. I sincerely thank you! ❤️ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦

[@unfazed3510]

I literally just purchased this mould from Etsy (it was the last one in stock) ! And I’ve been scouring KZbin for tips about using silicone moulds with polymer clay and most end up very similar to how you were first demonstrating, just cramming a bid ol ball of clay in there. All I want to say is THANK YOU! This is super handy and a really useful tutorial!

[@erinblu8551]

Just bought that adorable succulent mold! I can't wait to try it out with these tips!

[@denisewoodsd10]

Wow thanks for the tip as I’d seen something like this before but you showed with and without the tool so I could really see the difference! Thank you!!!

[@MissKellyBean]

What a wonderful tutorial! I am new at this, but even I could tell that what people were doing wasn't going to work well for the molds I have. You had exactly the tips I needed. Thank you!

[@Cassiopea456]

You read my mind. Very straightforward. Thought the first flower looked good then she made the second and i could notice the difference in details.

[@rgbuns4ever]

Thank you so much for your video and tips. I have been working with polymer clay for a while now but wanted to add more dimension to some of my pieces and decided to try some silicone molds. When I made my first few flowers, they looked ok but were very distorted. I found this tutorial and the difference is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@mmhurd]

I recently bought these molds on Etsy, they're so freaking adorable, thank you so much for sharing all these tips, they're extremely helpful! These are my first silicone molds and I'm so excited to get started…the correct way! :)

This was wonderful video demo. Very clear and just what I needed. I'm new to clay work. Ordered some molds similar to the one you are using and my first attempts were awful. I also figured I just didn't get good molds. Can hardly wait to try all of these ideas. Thank you so much.

[@cindytedeschi4617]

I love how you explain how to use your push molds. I have a mold shop on etsy as well. If you'd like to see it, I can let you know the shop name. My question to you is may I have permission from you to list this video on my shop to send people over to you to watch this and learn how to use molds properly? It gets frustrating when people pull and rip at the molds, due to frustration and not knowing how to use them.Then they want a refund, because now its defective... lol! I dont have a youtube channel. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@shelleydwyer-murphy2281]

Thanks, awesome! ⚘

[@jenywilliams663]

You deserve like, suscribe and everything

[@featherglory]

Thankyou!

[@cacevedo07]

Thanks for the video. It would help to spray some powder or corn starch in the mold before placing the clay?

[@Inanothertimeandspace]

I have this mold! I got it on Etsy. I love it. I use it for precious metal clay :)

[@debraroberts1139]

I was about ask this question ;) do you find adding small pieces in this way dries the metal clay out quickly? Thank you

[@judehibler.dalebruning]

Thank you for your great video! I, like others, am new to molding with Sculpey clay and so appreciate your tips. A beginner's question for you: after you release the item from the mold, can it then be baked in the oven? Or should it be baked in the mold and then released after it cools? Thanks again. Jude

[@candalalala]

I'm trying to make polymer clay die with silicone molds! Thank you for making this! Can I cook the clay in the molds and any tips for doing so? Some of these die molds are not able to just pop soft clay out.

[@marijagaspar]

Thank You for your presentation. I'm new in this craft world 😊 I don't have molds, clay, but I have your videos to learn have can I do this beauty 😊 PS where can I buy for ok price molds? Your mold is so sweet! Best Regards from Serbia 😊

[@mistyrious1111starseed]

Omg thank you so much! And here I been thinking I wasted money and time making and using molds! It was just my bad technique!

[@WendyMoule]

if your clay is too sticky then put it in the freezer for a few minutes then de-mold

[@intelligenceservices]

it might be cool for an affiliate link to amazon or something for that cool burnishing tool.

[@geoseward]

Is there any particular type of clay that you prefer

[@anumehachakravarty9127]

Do I need to bake this clay after making shapes ?

[@hazelblair6634]

i didn't know you could put the moulds & the clay in the oven to bake. so you don't have to take the clay out of a mould to bake it. wow. it's ok. i am learning about clay at the moment. x

This is great but if you want to use deeper molds, then try liquid clay.. Some molds are oven safe. Pour,bake,pop out. Done
