Get Ready for some HOT Summer #Cre8time FUN with AMAZING REMELT!!!

Summer is in full swing {or some coming to an end for some kiddos} but August is an exciting month here at Amazing Crafting Products! Today the ACP family of products gets a little larger with a brand new molding product... AMAZING REMELT.

Amazing Remelt is a one-part, heat and pour mold making material that can be remelted and poured to create new molds. Molds can then be used with casting resins, clays, soap, wax, and it's even approved for food contact. Keep a lookout for it arriving on shelves in your local Hobby Lobby store.

Amazing Remelt is Food Safe!

Amazing Remelt is a Non Toxic, 1-part reusable mold making material for room temperature or low exotherm materials. Amazing Remelt softens at 120°F and becomes liquid at 135°-140°F – melted in the microwave or by traditional double-boiler method. It can be re-melted and re-used to make new molds time and time again. Amazing Remelt is ideal for making molds of smaller items such as jewelry, embellishments, and chocolate molds. Once you create your Amazing Remelt mold you can cast using Amazing Casting Resin, Amazing Clear Cast Resin, polymer clay, fondant and other food items such as butter, ice, and chocolate... and more!

New to mold making and casting???

Amazing Remelt is for you!

This unique product can be remelted and reused, making it not only economical, but eco-friendly. If you aren't happy with the results, you can melt down and re-pour around your object. Amazing Remelt is great for push molds and prototyping too!

Our Amazing Creative Team is excited to work with this new product in conjunction with the Amazing Crafting Products line and the Alumilite Dyes and Metallic Powders. Stay tuned for upcoming projects featuring Amazing Remelt and all it's AMAZING creative uses! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!

Double Duty, means Double the #Cre8time Fun!!! AMAZING Inspiration by Maria Soto

A mold on one side, a stamp on the other...

talk about double duty!!! 

Hi there, this is Maria and today I bring you an inspiration post. As I was trying to decide what to make and what to show you... so I re-visited all of my previous molds. I have to admit I've made a lot using the Amazing Mold Putty, including some I have not used on a project yet – so soon I will.

The last molds I made were the ones I created for my kitty coasters. You can go to the link here to see the original project. Since making that project, I have made several more. I think I have about 4-5 different coasters made – all about kitties, and below is one of my new kitty molds.

As I made the additional coasters, I had problems with one of them – the bottom part was not even enough and would not lay flat on the table. So I decided to use my craft knife to even the bottom part. Well it sorta worked out... but I noticed a lot of imperfections. I decided to go ahead and add a border to the bottom; and make a few more cuts here and there. By just using my fingers to pull off the putty once it was cut with my craft knife a little, this way it would look more uneven. I had an idea in mind and I think it came out just perfect.

So what I thought would work is this – one side of the mold was perfect to create my coasters, and the other side could be perfect to make some thin resin skins to use in mixed media projects. Well as I was was getting ready to add resin... I thought why not use it as a stamp, so I did just that! I took out some ink pads, a pack of ATC's I've been wanting to make, and well, the fun began.

The front side of the mold, next to it is one of my cast kitty coasters. I used Amazing Casting Resin and then used different types of blue paint and inks along with black to bring out the details.

This is the back side of the mold, I tried to make it even so it would lay right but it kept tearing up, so I added a border and decided it would make a great stamp!

I remember I had made a tag mold long time ago. If you missed it CLICK HERE to view the original post. I thought why not bring this mold out and use it as a stamp too... so I did just that.

I finally got to use these Strathmore ATC blanks...

I've only had them for a couple of years.

Here you can see the molds I used as stamps, along with paints/inks this time around and a few of the ATC's I made. I can't wait to finish up these ATC's! Now that I have my base done, I invite you to come back later on this month to my blog, "What is Creativity" so you can see the final results.

I plan to visit the rest of my molds to see how I can use them in different ways – or maybe I can combine some of them. Who knows what I might be able to do with the ton of molds I already have on hand. The Cre8time possibilities are endless!

I hope that I have inspired you to go back and take a second look to those molds you have on hand and see how else you can use them. I think when you can get more than one use out of these fun molds, it just means you can have double the fun creating!

How do you get multiple uses from

your Amazing Crafting Products?

#Cre8time presents a Found Object Mobile! A tutorial by Aimée Wheaton

Hi all! Aimée here again with a new project. This project is similar to what I was going to do with my first project last month {click here to view if you missed it}. I didn't have much time to create due to a death in my family last month – so I revisited the idea again, this time with a little extra kick. I hope you enjoy this piece because I had fun creating it.

It came together pretty quickly because I had already painted the driftwood last month and really wanted to use them for this project. Basically all I did was just paint some different colors in different patterns using acrylic paints and a small paint brush. I then drilled holes using my drill press down the center of each piece of driftwood.

Next I built my mold box for 3 items I wanted to mold. I am still learning the ropes with Amazing Crafting Products... so I messed up here and molded a crown that wouldn't work because of all the holes in it. Lesson learned. I'm keeping the parts of the mold as filler for next time. The thimble and key turned out so that's what I focused on. 

I placed my objects into the top of a jar lid and hot glued them down. Next I mixed the Amazing Mold Rubber with the catalyst and poured it into my mold box, covering the items {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}.

I let it sit overnight because it was getting late,

and I figured the extra time couldn't hurt it.

The next morning, I mixed up some Amazing Casting Resin with some gold and pink Alumidust and poured it into the thimble mold. You can see where I had to cut the crown out of the mold to the right.

The thimble turned out amazing! :)

Next I found a piece of driftwood with a hole already in it – and thought of making it the main pendant so to speak. I drilled a hole down the middle of the cast thimble piece after adding some paint to it. I took another piece I had previously molded, and attached the three pieces together with copper wire. Then I added some white paint to the wood and a black stamp to the top for a more tribal look.

I took some waxed twine I had and started stringing the mobile together. I tied a knot on the bottom and at the top of each piece of driftwood – starting from the bottom up with the pendant.

Like so. After stringing it all together it needed more eye candy... so I started casting more objects! I used molds I had previously made to keep things simple. I painted all of them after the fact except for the two blue pieces shown below, which I used the Alumilite Blue Dye for. 

I used Amazing Casting Resin with Alumilite Blue Dye in the mix for these guys.

The batch of items I cast!

All found objects with no rhyme or reason.

I then grittied them up with acrylic paint and then drilled holes in all of the using my drill press. I then tied more wax twine to each piece with various lengths to tie onto the mobile. I didn't end up using them all but will save them for a later project.

Different levels of the mobile.

It's pretty funky if you ask me but fun!

The pendant part.

Now let's see the whole thing together!

Would love to hear what you think about this project. This could have so many variations to it, the possibilities are endless!! I hope you enjoyed this How-To. I purchased the driftwood on Etsy and got a bunch so expect to see more in upcoming projects! Thanks for reading!

XOXO Aimée
