Dress up your #Cre8time... Bejeweled Hair Clip by Aimée Wheaton

Hi all! Aimée here today to share this little sweet piece created from broken costume jewelry. I thought I'd mold it to see how the Amazing Mold Putty would do and it didn't fail!! Check out the details below!

I was bummed when this broke, but I kept it to use for molds. I'm sure I'll use the pieces for other projects.

  

I mixed two equal parts of Amazing Mold Putty and formed it around the gem {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}. The photo on right shows the awesome detail it picked up. I love how it caught all the facets of the gems.

Next, I took some cotton swabs and colored in each individual gem with some Alumidust. I chose copper, bright blue and deep purple.

Detail of all the different shades.

I mixed equal parts of the quick curing Amazing Casting Resin {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}. It cures in no time!! I demolded and below is what you see :)

Add some hot glue and add it to an alligator clip and it's done! 

This would be great for customizing outfits with matching accessories!

I also wanted to share this amazing casting of pony beads on a piece of yarn. I love how amazing the Amazing Mold Putty is!!!

Let's see what you can create

with your broken treasures,

Amazing Mold Putty

and Amazing Casting Resin!

#Cre8time Fashion Forward... #DIY Floral Hat Pin by Aimée Wheaton

Create these painterly flowers to add flair to your hats or scarves.

Hello, creatives! Aimée here today sharing a new project that was a test for me. I wanted to see if I could create a larger mold out of smaller molded objects glued together and I'm happy to say that my Amazing Casting Products didn't fail the test!!

I really had a lot of fun with this project – it is so versatile. My original thought was to drill holes on both sides and create a cuff necklace. I may still experiment with that. I've never combined molded/cast items to create a larger molded piece so I was really excited when it worked for me.

So here we go!

 

The first thing I did was to create a mold of this metal leaf I had cut off of a home decor piece. I mixed two equal parts of Part "A" and Part "B" of Amazing Mold Putty and formed it around the leaf. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation.

You can see the impression here. :) It's a reusable mold now.

Next, I mixed equal parts of Amazing Casting Resin and poured into the different flowers molds I had (from previous projects) to create different flowers. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation.

I love molding flowers apparently! When the resin cured I arranged them in a resin bouquet and hot glued them together to arrange one solid piece. I could have stopped here – but I wanted to take it one step further...

So I used Amazing Mold Putty again to create a larger mold of these united all together as one piece. You can see the glued piece, the solid piece, and the mold together here!

I filled this new mold with Amazing Casting Resin.

This results in a beautiful opaque white resin piece... a blank canvas for embellishing! I painted the solid piece with acrylic paint and added some blingy glitter. I sealed it with a varnish and then glued on a pin back so it can be used on a hat.

Here it is!!

I like how Frida Kahlo-esque it looks!

What do you think?

Let's see what you can

create by combining molds!

#Cre8time Transformations... from Resin Castoffs to Amazing Adornments by Aimée Wheaton

Is it a jar topper or a funky little tree?!! Who knows? The options are endless when you keep your castoffs and use them in unconventional ways. I started rummaging through my box of castoffs and had to think outside the box for something to create and came up with this little idea.

I will say first off I created all these pieces over time, they were made from mixing equal parts of Amazing Casting Resin that I mixed too much of. Some were dyed with Alumilite Dyes and others were just left white.

The only non-resin piece is the wooden tree shaped item. I took my hot glue gun and glued them all together with the wood piece being on top.

Here it is all glued. Next I took some gold acrylic and painted the whole thing. I added silver glitter while it was wet.

  

I had this fleur-de-lis that wasn't in the best shape, so I added some glue and then sprinkled it with purple glitter, then glued it to the front of the stacked golden tree.

So pretty!! Makes a perfect topper for my stash of vintage buttons!

Here's another idea for you!

I took another castoff that I had created... drilled a hole in the top to loop wire through and started painting! Again this was created with a dyed resin castoff.

Where this piece started from – a violet dyed resin heart.

To this I added different colors of acrylic paint.

  

I added some glitter and this little amazing pendant I created with Amazing Clear Cast Resin and glitter. I also hot glued an antique button in the center of the heart.

I'm glad I kept all of these castoffs and trinkets.

I really liked how they turned out!!

Do you keep your resin 
castoffs for future use?

A #Cre8time Masquerade... by Aimée Wheaton

Hi creatives!! Time for a new project! This one started with a resin ring I found at a flea market. I always look for odds and ends to mold when I'm antique hunting. We found some super cool pieces and this was one of the. The focal of the photo above was once a black resin ring.

It's hard to see because the ring is black but this is an exact replica of the rose on the ring. I just love Amazing Mold Putty!! So many cool ways to use it. It's easy to mix, just add two equal parts of the white and yellow together and smoosh it like Play-doh until it's one color.

Next I grabbed some Gold Alumidust to put in the mold. This cures with the resin an changes the color properties of the resin itself. It gives it a nice metallic sheen.

Just like pixie dust!

I then sprinkled in some teal micro beads in the mold.

Then I mixed two equal parts of Amazing Clear Cast Resin together ...

and slowly poured it into the mold. I let it sit all day until it was cured.

Lighting is off in this photo - sorry.

While that was curing I finger painted this mask with teal acrylic paint.

I gave it some texture by putting packing bubbles on top and peeling it off.

I sprayed gold, green and teal metallic spray on the mask an let it dry.

Now time to embellish!!!

First I glued on the feathers, gold trim strip and crystals.

I applied gold glitter glue around the eyes.

I glued on the rose and more crystals.

I love how it turned out, this will now be part of my costume for Halloween this year.

Add some blue lipstick and you're ready for the ball!

Have you ever created your own mask?
