2 PART MOLD STEP BY STEP REEL
How to Make a 2-Part Mold for Metal Clay Jewelry
Step 1:
Mix your putty
Mix a 1:1 ratio of white and blue putty until it becomes a uniform light blue color.
Step 2:
Form the base
Roll the putty to a size slightly larger than your metal clay design.
Step 3:
Press your design
Firmly press your (fully dry) metal clay piece into the putty to create the first half of the mold.
Step 4:
Create registration marks
Make small indents around the border of the putty—this helps the second half of the mold lock in place.
Step 5:
Let it cure
Allow the putty to set for 10–15 minutes.
Use the fingernail test: press your nail or a hard object into the side—if it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s ready.
Step 6:
Apply release agent
Spread a thin layer of Vaseline over the entire first half of the mold, including the metal clay piece.
Step 7:
Mix second batch
Again, mix a 1:1 ratio of white and blue putty until light blue, and roll it slightly larger than your design.
Step 8:
Create the second half
Press the new putty firmly over the first half, making sure it fills all the indents for a secure fit.
Step 9:
Let it cure again
Wait another 10–15 minutes and repeat the fingernail test to ensure it’s fully hardened.
Step 10:
Open and use
Carefully separate the two halves, remove your original piece, and your mold is ready to use!
