This is a video tutorial showing how to make handmade silicone molds for resin and clay. This method works for both flat and non flat pieces. The secret is using modelling clay as a base; that way the non-flat part of the master can be pushed inside the modelling clay and still lie flat. The frame can be pushed into the modelling clay also (no need for glue).

For resin use, make sure to use platinum cure silicone. If you use tin cure silicone, the resin may react to it and not cure properly. Polymer clay is NOT a good substitute for oil-based non-drying modelling clay since the silicone will react to it and will not cure properly.

How to make a mold for resin
