As a Resin Artist, I am always buying new molds. I also learned how to make them. After years of collecting trinkets and vintage things, I have had so much satisfaction making molds of things and creating them in my own colors and styles. Also mold making is a way to revive some designs of things that were deteriorating like vintage picture frames. I make molds of cameos, cabochons, glass stones and other things I find with a pleasing aesthetic that I find appealing and want to replicate. I can really obsess over mold making. The real fun comes in pouring freshly made molds. I love to show off the creative things I make with old vintage remakes, using my own color ways, glitter and glow in the dark.
Here are some of the essential items I use to make silicone molds.
Let’s Resin has some great products and I recommend their green silicone for general resin art mold making. They have a handy kit that has some of the essentials to get started.
