Making a silicone mold FROM a gummy bear?
Long story short, I want to make a bracelet pendant in the shape of a gummy bear for my girlfriend for our anniversary out of silver clay. But since this is very hard to do for such a small piece, I want to make a mold from a real gummy bear that I can shape the art clay with. it needs to be flexible so I can get the dried out silver clay out safely. Now here is the problem. I am sure, that when I make a silicone mold, the gummy bear could dissolve before the mold is finished or interfere with the drying of the silicone. what could I possibly do? I thought about maybe coating the gummy bear with clear coat but this would dissolve it too probably. any ideas? And no, I dont want to buy any pre-made silicone molds, I dont like the shape of the gummy bears that come out of it submitted by /u/dvxlgames [link] [comments]
