Silicone molds are popular because they are easy to use and don’t require a lot of grease. While there are molds available in the market in a variety of sizes, shapes and designs, you cannot buy the perfect mold for your own samples. In this case, you can make the mold yourself. There is a 2-part silicone mold maker in the store, but it’s much cheaper if you make your own at home!
Steps
Use silicone and liquid soap

Pour water into the bowl. You need to use water that is room temperature – not too hot or too cold. The water level should be deep enough for you to submerge your hand. [1] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-2.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir some liquid soap into the water. You can use any liquid soap, including body wash, dish soap, and hand sanitizer. Continue stirring until the soap is completely dissolved and no soap residue is visible. [2] X Research Source
- Mix 1 part soap to 10 parts water. [3] X Research Sources
- You can also use liquid glycerin. The glycerin will react with the silicone and help the silicone stick together. [4] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ad/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-3.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ad/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Squeeze some silicone construction into a bowl of soapy water. Buy a pure silicone tube at a building materials store; Remember not to buy quick-freezing silicone. Use enough silicone to cover the specimen. [5] X Research Sources
- Construction silicone is also known as silicone sealant.
- If silicone does not come with a pump tube, you need to purchase a glue gun. Attach the glue gun to the silicone tube, cut off the end of the tube and poke a hole in the top. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-4.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Knead silicone in a bowl of water. Put on gloves and put your hand in the water, hold the silicone in your hand and knead. Knead until the silicone stops sticking while submerged in water. Kneading time takes about 5 minutes. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Shape the kneaded plastic into a thick plate. Start by rolling the plastic ball into a ball between your palms. Place the ball down on a flat surface and press down gently. This flexible disc must be thicker than the workpiece specimen. [8] X Research Sources
- If the silicone is still sticky, you can rub soapy water into your hands and mold on a flat surface covered with a thin layer of liquid soap. [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fd/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fd/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Press the specimen into the silicone dish. Remember to face the design face down. Gently press the edge of the mold against the specimen so that there is no gap between the silicone and the specimen. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/27/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-7.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/27/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wait for the silicone to freeze. Silicone will never harden like ice, it will always be ductile. You only need to wait a few hours for the silicone to harden just enough so that you can still bend without denting the mold when you press down.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5e/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-8.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5e/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Remove the preform sample from the mold. Hold the edge of the mold bent backwards. The preform will peel off and pop out on its own. Tilt the top of the die down to slide the workpiece out.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use mold. Press the clay into the mold, then remove the clay and wait for it to dry. You can also pour sap into the mold, but wait for the sap to solidify and harden before removing.
Use silicone and cornstarch
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d2/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d2/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Squeeze some silicone construction into the plate. Buy a pure silicone tube at a building materials store; This product usually comes in the form of a pump with silicone inside. Squeeze some silicone into the disposable plate. You need to get enough silicone to cover the specimen you want to cast. [11] X Research Source
- Construction silicone is also sold as silicone sealant. Remember not to buy quick freeze.
- If the silicone tube does not come in the form of a pump, you will have to purchase a glue gun first. Attach the silicone tube to the glue gun, cut off the end of the tube and poke a hole in the top. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour twice as much cornstarch as silicone into the plate. If you can’t find corn starch, you can try replacing it with cornstarch or potato starch. Put the powder box next to it for easy use when you need to sprinkle more powder. [13] X Research Source
- If you want to make the mold colorful, you can add a few drops of acrylic paint. This step will not affect the performance of the mold. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f5/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f5/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Put on nylon gloves and knead the 2 ingredients together. Continue kneading until the silicone and cornstarch are combined into a sticky paste. The mixture may be a bit dry and crumbly at first, but keep kneading. If it feels too sticky, you can add more cornstarch. [15] X Research Source
- There may be a little cornstarch left in the plate, but don’t mind it. The silicone will take the required amount of cornstarch.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/55/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/55/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Shape the silicone into a disc shape. Start by rolling the silicone mixture into a ball between your palms, then place on a smooth surface and gently press down to flatten but still be thicker than the specimen you want to mold. [16] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3b/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Press the preform into the molded silicone disc. Remember to press the design side of the specimen face down, back up. Use your finger to press the edge of the mold against the specimen; Leave no gap between the specimen and the mold. [17] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wait for the silicone to freeze. This will only take about 20 minutes. Once the mold has solidified, you can move on to the next step. The mold will still be flexible but won’t dent or distort when you push it in. [18] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bd/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-16.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bd/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Remove the preform from the mold. Hold the edge of the mold and gently bend it back. Turn the mold over so that the specimen pops out. If necessary, you can use your finger to pull it out.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fb/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fb/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use mold. Press the wet clay into the mold, then take it out and let it dry. You can also pour the sap into the mold, wait for it to dry, and then remove it. Separate the molded object using the same operation as you would separate a preform.
Use 2 part silicone
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/eb/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-18.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/eb/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Buy a set of silicone molds. You can find them in stores that specialize in casting materials. Sometimes this product is also available at major craft stores. Most kits come with two boxes labeled “Part A” and “Part B”. Sometimes you have to buy these two ingredients separately.
- Do not mix the silicone in a hurry.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1a/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-19.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1a/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cut off the bottom of a plastic food container. Find a cheap, thin plastic food container, and use a carving knife to cut off the bottom of the box. [19] X Research Source Don’t worry if the cut is jagged; This piece of plastic will be the upper part of the mold.
- Select the box slightly wider than the object you want to mold.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-20.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-20.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-20.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-20.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Apply multiple overlapping strips of tape over the top of the box. Remove the lid of the box. Cut multiple strips of packing tape across the top of the box. Glue the strips of adhesive tape to each other by a distance of 0.5 cm. Leave a few centimeters of tape on all sides of the box. [20] X Research Source
- Run your finger along the mouth of the box to get close.
- Make sure there are no gaps for the silicone to leak out.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/17/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-21.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-21.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/17/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-21.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Fold the excess tape over the sides of the box. When you pour silicone into the can, the silicone can seep through the gap under the tape and leak out. This step will help prevent the silicone from melting and damaging your work surface. [21] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/94/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-22.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-22.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/94/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the object you want to mold into the box. Place the box on a firm flat surface, with the removed bottom facing up. Place the preform in the box and press on the tape, do not let the preform touch the sides of the box or touch each other if you are using multiple specimens. Also, remember to place the design side of the specimen face up, back pressed against the adhesive tape. [22] X Research Source
- Specimens with a flat back are most suitable for this method.
- Wipe the specimen clean before placing it in the box, if necessary.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7a/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-23.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-23.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7a/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-23.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-23.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Measure the amount of silicone according to the manufacturer’s instructions. You will be mixing Part A and Part B together. Some silicones are measured by volume, others by weight. Carefully read the instructions for use that come with the product and measure accordingly.
- Pour silicone into the cup included in the kit. If there is no cup in the kit, you can pour silicone into a disposable plastic cup.
- You need to use enough silicone to cover the specimen with a layer about 0.5 cm thick.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-24.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-24.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-24.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir the two parts together until the mixture becomes a uniform color. You can use a wooden stick, ice cream stick or a spoon, fork, or plastic knife to stir. Continue stirring until the mixture is uniform in color, with no streaks remaining.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/de/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/de/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-25.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour silicone into the box. Use a silicone spatula to avoid waste. The silicone should cover the specimen with a layer approximately 0.5 cm thick. The silicone layer can tear if it is too thin. [23] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-26.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-26.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-26.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-26.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wait for the silicone to freeze. This time depends on the brand of the product. Some types can be used after a few hours, others need to be left overnight. Please read the instructions that come with the kit for specific times. Do not touch or move the mold during this time.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5e/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5e/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Mold. Peel off the tape from the box when the silicone has set and hardened. Gently slide the silicone mold out. You can see thin silicone “hairs” around the mold. If it doesn’t look good, you can cut it off with scissors or a knife.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-28.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-28.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-28.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-28.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Remove the preform from the mold. Samples placed in the box will stick inside the silicone layer. Gently bend the silicone back so that the specimens pop out, as if you were taking ice out of an ice tray.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/ba/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-29.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Silicone-Mpd- Step-29.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/ba/Make-a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-29.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Silicone-Mpd-Step-29.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use mold. You can now pour the resin, clay or chocolate (if the mold is made of food grade silicone) into the mold. If using clay, you can remove the clay while it is still wet. If using sap, you must wait for the sap to solidify before removing it.
Advice
- Although silicone is less likely to stick, it’s probably a good idea to spray some non-stick oil into the mold before you pour the sap in.
- Molds made of construction silicone and dishwashing liquid or cornstarch are not suitable for making confectionery. This type of silicone is not food safe. [24] X Research Source
- If you want to make a candy mold, you have to buy a 2-part silicone mold. Read product labels carefully to make sure you buy the correct food-grade silicone.
- 2 part silicone molds will be more durable than construction silicone molds because they are made from professional mold materials.
- Silicone molds are not permanent; After a while they will be broken.
- A 2-part silicone mold for pouring sap is the best.
Warning
- Avoid getting silicone construction on hands. Silicone can cause skin irritation.
- Construction silicone can produce toxic gases so you need to work in a well-ventilated place.
