DIY Silicone Molds for Embeds (Cheap)

Here I show you how I make my own silicone molds for my wax embeds. All I used was some cheap 100% silicone caulk, cornstarch, and a few drops of baby oil. If you don't have the baby oil don't worry about using it.
I would only work with half the tube of silicone at a time so you will have time to make your embeds.
Please do not use these molds for food. It's not safe.
I would also do this outside as the smell can be strong. Protect your hands and clothes and don't use any of the items for food once you make your mold.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Awesome Cricket honey, I love this and yes indeed some of those molds are crazy expensive. Please do the wet mold. I was just looking at a pumpkin mold that was going to cost me $40. Big hugs doll😘 Kenny

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thanks, Kenny! I will do the wet mold really soon as I need to make more embeds. Yes, they are so expensive!

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thanks, Beth!!!

@glitteringthesky 7 лет назад

That is so ingenious!!! You are really saving money there. How many times you can use the molds? I was looking your candles in your facebook and I was wondering how you got so many wonderful shapes. You are really so creative. I need to get some of those candles but not sure how to buy them from your facebook.

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thanks, Natalia. I've got some molds that I made a year ago and they still work. The ones I make with water are more flexible. Right now I'm working on my website, which is giving me fits. I do have a paypal and usually on facebook people just message me and tell me what they want and how they are going to pay for it. Hopefully I'm hoping to get my website up by the end of the week. I'm going to do a video on the wet version of making the molds cause I need to make more. Thank you for your very kind words.

@jatiekay 7 лет назад

thank you!!! please show the wet method also!

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thank you, Judy! I will do that one very soon cause I need some more molds

@PaiviProject 7 лет назад

Hey Cricket. Well that was super fun project. While I was trying to figure out what heck were you doing...I just wanted to do it :)) Now I am trying to think something I could do so I could make one of those things. Thumbs Up and I would like to see you actually using it ! Thanks. :)

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thank you so much! I will be making the same molds except using dish washing liquid real soon. I need to do a video of me using it.

@PaiviProject 7 лет назад

Cooking with Cricket (cricket516) Yes Yes ! ! :))

@ashleyhaynes4115 4 года назад

What temperature do you pour candle wax at in these silicone molds. Just starting with candles, thanks for sharing!!!

@cricket516 4 года назад

It's been a while since I've used these, but i do let the wax cool off a lot before I pour. You want your wax loose, and almost to the point where it starts to harden, but not quite to that point. I really hope that makes sense

@KrazyKatelyn 7 лет назад

That is awesome. I wondered how you molded some of the parts to your candle. What is the baby oil for?

@cricket516 7 лет назад

Thanks, Katelyn. The baby oil just helps to keep it from getting so hard. I've made it without it before.

@KrazyKatelyn 7 лет назад

Cooking with Cricket (cricket516) oh ok. Thanks!

@skyhigh33716 3 года назад

I need exact measurements on quantity ......

@iammystrength 3 года назад

I have a question. I’m trying to make cinnamon bun molds. I let the cinnamon buns get super hard but will they fall apart? Or what’s something else I could use to make a mold or can it even be used?

@cricket516 3 года назад

When I did the cookies, I froze them. You could try to freeze them, or, if you use wax, you could make something like a cinnamon roll and use the wax for the mold.

@jaspersantillana2281 6 лет назад

I love your voice :)

@cricket516 6 лет назад

Thank you

@jeanmurdock2926 7 лет назад

Would love to see the wet method. New to your channel.

@maggiem4734 7 лет назад

Jean Murdock for wet method, use water, blue dish soap, and 100% clear silicone. Search RU-vid for Silicone molds. Have a blessed day 🙏🏼☀️

@buttermilkbaysoap9416 7 лет назад

I'm just not getting why wax embeds need the cornstarch molds verses the dawn molds?

@cricket516 7 лет назад

They don't. Has nothing really to do with the wax. It's what you are molding versus using the wet or dry molds. Wax can be used in either

@buttermilkbaysoap9416 7 лет назад

Interesting.....could I use mineral oil instead of Baby oil?

@cricket516 7 лет назад

yes. should be just fine

@EDMSOAPS-529 6 лет назад

Can you wash it when you are done making your embeds?

@cricket516 6 лет назад

I've never had to wash mine, so i really don't know. For this dry version, I would probably just wipe them out. For the wet version of these silicone molds, them might be okay. I have a video on that too. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question

@mysteriousmemt 3 года назад

Is there a reason why mine was still sticky after letting it set for hours?

@cricket516 3 года назад

You probably didn't kneed it long enough and not enough corn starch

@my-ti4ui 6 лет назад

want to know..since it's not food safe..is it skin safe?

@cricket516 6 лет назад

I use mine for candles but I know a lot of soap makers who makes these and uses them for their soaps, but I don't know for sure. Sorry

@danielle5113 Год назад

Wow no one has left any comments in 6 years can someone make a video on using cookie cutters that I can use as a resin mold thanks

@aprilduffey6279 7 лет назад

how long do you let them cure an set

@cricket516 7 лет назад

I let them cure at least 24 hours before using them. 48 hours is best.

@aprilduffey6279 7 лет назад

can you make a vedio on how to make a embed mold for a bowl

@cricket516 7 лет назад

What type of bowl? Small, large?

@aprilduffey6279 7 лет назад

@jackofall3381 6 лет назад

what is an embed? It would be nice for you to explain what it is that you are making. Don't have any clue what an embed is or how it's used for candle making.

@cricket516 6 лет назад

This video is basically for anyone who wants to make molds for themselves. A lot of soap and candle makers use them. An embed is something like a shape that you use for decoration. This was a requested video. I make fruit loop candles, so I use wax fruit loop embeds to decorate it.
