Unique Resin Molds for Resin Crafts
Environmental Technology Castin' Craft Poly Molds
Before you go crazy buying a bunch of super specific molds, make sure you have basic shapes in several sizes. There are SO many ways to use even the most simple square and rectangle molds! These are honestly the best molds because they are so versatile!
3D Skull Shape Mold
While the use for this one may seem straightforward, I added a twist when I used this mold for a project. You can add in lights to create a glowing "brain" in the top!
Tropical Candy Mold
One of my favorite resin hacks is to shop the baking section for silicone molds. you can usually find unique and cute molds! I've used these for ornaments, drink stirrers, wine charms, and more!
Succulents Candy Silicone Mold
Another candy mold, these are a fun way to create plants that will never die!
Resin Jewelry Molds
You can make earrings in literally every color! Never worry about having matching jewlery again!
Resin Sphere Mold
The sphere mold is such a neat way to encapsulate something you'd like preserved. It will display beautifully on a shelf.
Moon Phase Resin Mold
These gorgeous moon shape resin molds looks amazing in a deep black or purple. Make sure you add in some color and shine!
Resin Molds for Wind Chime
Instead of a wind chime (because resin pieces don't make a very loud sound when hit together!?) I used this mold to make a custom baby mobile to hang over my babies crib. You can do any combination of colors for this!
Diamond Shaped Mold
Add ink or swirl in mica powders to create a custom desk charm. Remember, less ink to get a bright color!
Bookmark Molds
One of my most popular projects ever! My resin bookmarks used glitter and metallic confetti.
Resin Tube Molds
This was one of the first project I used alcohol ink on and that make such a unique pendant for a necklace! Very fun to play with these unique resin molds.
EasyCast Resin Jewelry Molds
I used the ETI jewlery mold so many times! My favorite was to make "gemstones" and used them to adorn an otherwise plain bag.
Snowflake Mold
These looked beautiful with mica powder dusted on the tips of the snowflakes! I was able to create ornaments that looked like glass but were unbreakable!
Large Silicone Tray Mold
These large molds are meant for making a DIY tray or a beautiful geode design. I used it to make a resin bowl! I mixed different colors using acrylic paints to get my design. Then, simply drape your almost cured resin over something to allow it to harden in the shape of a bowl.
Tray Handles for Resin Mold
Instead of buying metal door handles and painting them, I was able to create custom colored cabinet pulls with leftover resin! I always have molds ready when doing resin pours because there's ALWAYS extra resin!
Resin Hair Clips Mold
I highly recommend buying a kit that comes with the actual clips when you get DIY hair clip resin molds! I used a mold that didn't come with the "hardware" and could never find clips that would line up correctly. After ordering this kit, I always had the correct pieces to glue together! These hair accessories are a really great gift idea!
Keychain Molds
This was a fun project to combine with Vinyl from your Cricut. You can cut any phrase or words then put on a clear coat to make adorable keychains! The different shapes enable you to create completely different projects!
Kawaii Resin Shaker Molds
Shaker molds definely work best with UV Resin! I tried this project with glue and while it *worked* it definitely would have been a LOT better had I used different materials. You can get these in a variety of shapes for your resin creations!
Notebook Cover Resin Casting Molds
You definitely want to get the ratios correct on these so that your notebook covers aren't too flimsy!
Domino Molds
Resin dominos are a fantastic gift idea! you can make them in any custom color way and add glitter or anything else to make them however you'd like.
Light Switch Cover Resin Molds
A fantastic way to add a personal touch to any room! They come in various shapes so you should be able to create one to fit your home.
Ice Cream/ Popsicle Silicone Candy Mold
This mold worked great with FastCast! It cures hard and quickly and you can then PAINT it! Such a fun way to use these molds.
