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!
