Why didn’t she show when she placed the gold leaves? I was waiting for that specific moment lol 😂
🤣 sorry, I have a video where I show this step. The gold is added to the silicon mold. You can also mix it into the cement mix with the mica powder... but for best results add on mold.
Absolutely beautiful 💕🙏 Thank you!
So beautiful...this video will do numbers because those are absolutely amazing 😍
Thank you so much!! ✨
so beautiful!! Thank you.
Thank you!!!

Hi, there.
The final result looks so smooth.
I never seen a cement piece look like that.
And I have seen a lot videos like yours.
What do you think is the key for that?
Thanks.
gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
Thank you! 🙏🏻✨
Great video 💕🙏
Thank you!
Whooooooa how those gold flakes get in there? That’s awesome ❤️
I place them on the silicone mold. I have a video showing how 👍💕
Beautiful 🎉
Thank you!! 🤍✨
I tried making similar jars with silicone molds, how long do you let the cement cure for before removing it from the mold? Mines tend to crack not sure if it is the type of cement I purchased. Great jobs one your molds they look very nicely done and would look beautiful as a decor piece ❤
Hi Yaniris,
Thank you sooo much for your feedback. ✨
I typically de-mold within 4-6 hours of casting the molds. Since the cement tends to sweat during the curing process I like to get them out of the mold ASAP.
What brand are you using? I'm currently working with Cement All and it has been great! I have also found that the amount and type of water maters.
Try using distilled water.
I live in florida, and have used both sink and distilled water to cast my molds. Both have worked great.
I hope this info was helpful. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you so much for your tips and information. I will try switching the cement, I have a feeling it is not great my mold tend to crack as I am taking them out. Sometimes they are uneven and have air bubbles. I do tap down and try shaking it to get bubbles out. Most likely it is the cement. Thank you again for your help and videos☺🤗
Its so beautiful. Even i want the mold , where can i get it. Even i wanna try its so interesting .
Lovely jars! How did you get the gold leaf inside the mold before pouring the cement? Love that effect!
You put the leaf in the silicone mold before you pour
Could you give me some advice? I’ve began making tester jars and I made a brown slightly darker than yours and it isn’t as smooth. The it has a ashy tint to it . Also, I just demoulded another one this morning and the color is darker in some areas. When mixing my pigment, cement and sand I make sure to mix dry first and then to a pancake consistency when adding the water. I’m losing my crap 🥹
Could you tell us where you got the moulds that you use in the video please? They are lovely, and I am wanting something with support while they are drying.
Thank you for your feedback 💕
The molds are from Modern Craft Lab.
Does MICA work? And why did you add the first chemical to it? Just got into making Candles and decided to make my own Unique containers.
hi! Your molds look different than the ones linked, where can i find the blue molds with the mold supports? Loved your video, thank you!
Thank Jess! Yes, I was making them for a season and recently changed the vessels.
I purchased the mold from modern craft labs.
Great video! Where can I get the mold covers that u use on the outside. And are they necessary for every mold? Ty so much.
Hi, these came with the molds. I purchased them at The Modern Craft Lab. Not every mold brings a support, however, I do find it practical since concrete expands during the drying process. The additional support helps maintain a consistent shape.
Muito liindo seu trabalho, parabéns
You got that dark vessel using mica? I’m impressed.
No it’s impossible it is direct color pigment iron oxide with mica maybe in it to
@@diannekelly3319 she actually responded saying she did it with mica in my comment below.
My bad I wish I could get that beautiful color from mica have tons now I have to get pigment and they are not all created equally smh . Good crafting
Hi, thank you for this amazing content. I’ve been testing so many different wicks in my 3in tulip but none are working. I tested ECO 6-14, CD 6-20, LX22 & 24, Premiere 770-799 and HTP 104, 105, 121, 126. Do you have any suggestions?
Yes! But it truly depends on the type of wax you are using.
I use golden 464 soy wax and eco 4
Hi sorry new to this communication so not sure if I am out of bounds by responding to your question. Try CDN wicks #6,7,8 I was like you until I found these wicks. Works perfect for my 3inc ceramic jars. Cheers
@@paulmitchell8312 thank you for the suggestions. Truly appreciate it.
I will try those out.
@@ksentials4442 thank you for responding. Truly appreciate it.
Nice. What size molds are you using,? Are they from Modern Craft Labs?
Thank you! Yes they are!
3" tulip and 4" tulip short
Hi, what did you use to get gold pieces on your jars?
Hi Tina,
I added gold leaf to the silicone molds. Here's a video I created showing how I add the gold leaf to the molds, while the molds are different, the process is the same. Check it out!

@@ksentials4442The concrete, the color, the size of the mold, you got me right after the peel of the silicone 😂😝 KEEP DOING YOU!!! If you don't mind me asking how much do they hold?
Good morning do you seal your jars outside.
Yes, but only the bottom of the vessel, where the warming label would go
Hi, what do you use to seal your jars?
Hi Vicky, right now im using the water base sealer from Earth Safe Finishes.

HI what is source to get the moulds
Thanks
Hi!! I purchase mine from modern craft.
What do you use? It would be helpful if you wrote the name in English
Hi!!! I do write the info in English 😊 maybe you need to adjust language settings on you tube... just a thought. Let me know what you need and I can respond here :)
Thats not concrete... its cement
Hi! Thanks for clarifying. Many crafters confuse the two. I'm glad you know the difference.
The coloring process will work on either cement or concrete.
@@ksentials4442 if you put some sand will be more durable. Only cement its not the best option.:)
Thank you so much for sharing. I'll give it a try.
So you don’t measure anything?
Yes, measurements are appear in video, lower left corner.
