Making Your Own Molds Tutorial

MakingMolds_NatKalbach

Ever since coming back from Winter CHA 2013 I am obsessed with my new found product – which is actually not brand new – Amazing Mold Putty by Alumilite.

I used one of my first resin figurines made with a mold on this layout you saw a couple weeks ago

And here is now a video showing you how I made this mold- it is quite long with 20 minutes…but it is a several step process – I hope you enjoy it :)

If you need the direct link because your browser or mobile device are acting weird, here you go :) https://vimeo.com/61658300

There are lot’s of amazing ideas and tutorials that go way beyond my basic video on the Amazing Mold Putty Blog– check it out.

What comes first to your mind to make a mold with when seeing this video?

Have an awesome day!

    You find the coolest things!! I would love to make letters with the molds and use them to spell out a project title. How cool would that be? Have to think about how to get them thick enough….Feel free to figure it out and demonstrate it for us….

    A wonderful video, nice to hear your voice to put to your photo! It will be interesting to see if the mold putty is any cheaper than the Ranger one, which is really expensive in the UK. The background of your layout is stunning, how did you go about doing it please?

      Where are you watching it- might be either the browser or your device. As it is a longer video you should watch it on a desktop computer not a mobile device. I have no problem seeing and hearing it on all browsers on my mac including Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome ;)
