#Cre8time Ring-a-Ding-Thing by Aimée Wheaton

Hello there!! This month I tried my hand again with Amazing Mold Rubber. This is my back up project because I messed up the mold box for the first one. I intend to redo it again possibly next month for you to see. This sweet little ring-a-ding-thing was made by molding a cute little glass leaf dish Susan bought me on a trek up to Orlando and a visit to Adjectives Market, a favorite of ours.

I don't have a cute ring dish and I thought of using the glass dish – but then again I have a toddler and an 8 year old who get into my things and thought it would be better to have something more durable. So glad I know how to use these AMAZING products!! Bring on the Amazing Mold Rubber. One of the reasons I love Mold Rubber is because it gives you great detail and will replicate the smoothest surface... especially using glass.

I forgot to take a before photo of me mixing the mold rubber and pouring it into the prepared mold box, but you can see how it's done HERE:

The original glass bowl on the left, and the bottom grooves didn't show up in the mold as I mounted that area in my mold box. I may mold it again on the opposite side and compare the two molds. You can see here how the mold is formed. The scalloped detail along the sides and edges were captured.

I decided I wanted to have a pop of purple so I added 5 drops of the Alumilite Violet Dye into Part "A" of Amazing Casting Resin and mixed well. It's such a gorgeous color.

Next I slowly poured Part "B" into this yellow cup,

mixed it all up and poured into the mold.

As always I make too much resin – so I used this extra mold

to pour the excess resin so I didn't waste it.

After I pulled the resin out I had this smooth purple container! I love it!! I'm going to keep this as is but thought of other ways to use it.

Mixed Media Frame: You could take a vintage photo and glue it in with some cute words, glitter and extra little trinkets then go back over it with some Amazing Clear Cast Resin to seal it up. Drill a hole and you have a custom little piece or ornament - hey that gives me an idea for Part B on this project, stay tuned!!

Seasonal Decor: Make little Fall place settings for Thanksgiving! Use a red/yellow/brown/ or orange dye and place a card on each one.

This is perfect for me!

Or to store little trinkets, buttons.

I hope you enjoyed this project!! I think I'll be making a few more!!

The options are endless!!

Celebrating #Cre8time Freedom with American "Fries"... AMAZING Inspiration by Brenda Burfeind

Happy 4th of July!!! Brenda here today to share what's become a tradition here on the Amazing Casting Products Blog that started back in 2013 with this patriotic pin. Last summer I created these dangling sparkling stars to wear... and today I am adorned with new earrings just in time for the celebration!

Today is my favorite day of the year! It's better than Christmas and my Birthday rolled into one! Today is America's birthday and my husband's birthday also. I've always been very patriotic and today I am here to inspire you with my American "Fries" earrings. You will totally understand in a minute.

My grandkids have recently come to live with us and therefore we have all sorts of toys laying around the house. The crafter in me is always looking at their toys wondering what I could mold or create with using Amazing Casting Products. 

Today is no exception! Recently we were playing kitchen and I saw these amazing French Fries in their mixture of play food...

Oh how the wheels started to spin!

I just had to make a mold with those cute play fries. I poured them with some Amazing Casting Resin after making a mold with the Amazing Mold Putty and let them cure for about 5 minutes.

Using regular acrylic paints, I painted some red stripes and a small section in blue on top of the white Amazing Casting Resin. E6000® and some rhinestones for some bling and drilling a hole to attach some jump rings and earring wires I now I have the perfect earrings for the 4th of July!

I totally thought how the shape of those French fries reminded me of a waving flag... and I brought that vision to life! AMAZING!!!

I hope I've inspired you to use something out of your kids'

or grandkids' stash and create something fun!

How do you Celebrate your Cre8time Freedom?

Thanks for stopping and until next time, Brenda from Creativity is a State of Mind wishing you a safe 4th of July!

Don't have it? Make it! #Cre8time Inspiration with Aimée Wheaton

Often times doing mixed media you are looking for a unique item to include in a piece, something that set it off. Usually you end up searching your local craft store for something but then realize that you don't want to use something mass produced. I know that's what happens to me and it gets frustrating but then the wheels start turning. You can do so many things with you imagination and the right products to make it come alive! That is what I'll be showing in this posting, making something out of nothing! All you need is your imagination, bits and pieces of junk and a glue gun to start.

I started digging through my junk drawer and found a piece of plastic that came on one of the pendant lamps we purchased for our dining room. It should have been tossed but it ended up being put in the junk drawer somehow. It is the perfect start to making a one of a kind embellishment.

See it's just a piece of junk with writing on it. We'll cover up the writing with glue and add embellishments and then mold what we created using Amazing Mold Putty and then Amazing Casting Resin. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation for Amazing Mold Putty and CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation for Amazing Casting Resin.

I decided to make a steam punk embellishment using watch parts. Once cast this could be turned into a donut pendant, embellishment on art and more!

Here it is freshly cast and painted with acrylic paint.

I can see so many ideas with this one casting!

Add some Alumilite Metallic Powders and it looks even cooler!

Here are 2 embellishments I created by mixing various things. The heart was a generic heart magnet I found cheap and added swirls with hot glue and then cast. The "Mickey" head was created by hot gluing 3 different beads together – it's kind of a grungy Mickey that I could use anywhere. I am going to glue it onto a custom frame I'm making. The ideas are endless... make something out of clay and cast it! Find junk around the house like I did. I'd love to see some custom embellishments you've created using Amazing Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resin!

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! :) Thank you for reading!

Let's see what you can create

with items around the house

and Amazing Mold Putty!
