Making a SILICONE MOLD and CASTING RESIN GEMS for Starguardian Xayah cosplay - tutorial

How to create your very own silicone molds by first creating the master shapes and then using liquid silicone to make molds for them and later even use those selfmade molds to cast beautiful resin gems!
Resin can be a super cool material for cosplay projects. Just be sure to always wear gloves and work in a well ventilated area when working with resin.
I hope the techniques I show in this video will be helpful for your own projects!

Love the Gems and the finished Props with them

[@LillithamerGamer]

Thats a pretty cool way to get multi colored gems! I'm going to have to try this :D

[@PretzlCosplay]

There's so many cool things you can do with resin! It just can be tricky to find the right pigments that work for your specific resin 😅

[@akhirajordao3399]

I've never done anything with resin, but this tutorial makes me want to try it out in the future. Very cool

[@myu_wynn]

It's actually great to use !

[@shasita3361]

I've had some resin for months, but I'm a chicken and afraid to try working with it. You make it look so easy! I'm going to try it

[@PretzlCosplay]

I know that feeling all too well XD It's just so scary to finally use new products. Especially if they are expensive like resin XD

[@akhirajordao3399]

Amazing as usual! 💟🌈✨ Loved it

Nooo I definitely don't mind! I just need to learn to reply faster omg XD

[@akhirajordao3399]

@@PretzlCosplay It's okay, don't worry about replying fast, we all have many things going on so it's not a priority.

[@PandaMuki]

To avoid bobles try to let your mixed resin sit in varm water for a while before pouring it into the mold ;D ✨

[@PretzlCosplay]

Good idea!

[@3DSTakemaruEX]

Cool video. What kind of mold release do you use when you cast your gems?

[@AngelAreAngela]

Hello! I wanna start do cosplaying for my next cosplay contest in my school. Do you have any advice?
