well as non-toxic.

I would be able to create using
only clay and my hands.

clay.

12. molding process
1 Add dish soap and water to a bowl.
2 Use a caulking gun to unload enough silicone in bowl to cover
desired object.
3 Knead the silicone inside the bowl until it starts to stiffen.
4 Take out silicone and sink the object inside it.
5 Let cure for some time.

15. molding tip
Bits of clay might still be stuck in the
mold that will have to be removed
manually! Be very thorough for
easier casting.

16. casting process
1 Mix copious amounts of cornstarch and silicone in a bowl.
2 Knead for some time.
3 Start pressing the mixture into mold.
4 Leave until hardened.
5 Gently pull out final product out of the mold.

17. casting tip
#1
Make sure to mix the cornstarch
properly with the silicone to avoid
stickiness! Silicone is very hard to
remove in case of skin contact.

18. It's possible to add color to your
silicone product with the use of
acrylic paint, but this might make the
process more difficult by drying out
the silicone!
casting tip
#2

19. RECOMMENDATIONS
oven hardening clay > air hardening clay
be very precise when it comes to mold making!
dont get frustrated while casting
another option: 3D printing with nylon
