Teach Soap

Has anyone used polymer clay to make molds? What I am thinking I want to do is use a polymer or fimo clay cause they don't dry out and make a mold that I can then peel away and use again for some other shape. I know there are kinds that are flexible and are baked to cure but I want to be able to reuse. Anyone have any thoughts on this idea?

The hot soap would probably morph it, unless you weren't doing anything detailed and you used super thick walls. Also, I think maybe the soap would seep into it?

Neat idea, though! You could probably do a test run with just a little bit to see how it goes.

Bramble Berry sells a moldable putty that you can form your own mold let it dry and use. Here's the link

I was going to suggest that, too, but after reading over their post again, I think they want something that can be remolded into something different after you use it.

I've used the mold putty and it works and the mold is useable time and time again. I've made countless soaps in the mold I made!

I made some moulds with BB's moulding putty. It's so easy to use, and works beautifully.



I moulded the underside of this dish, and made this lovely lined heart from it.



This corn soap mould was also made with BB's moulding putty, and looks very realistic. Someone even told me she thought it was the corn I used to make the mould, and not actually the soap I made with it.

Wow Suzanne! Those are really good. I wouldn't have even realized that was soap, not corn.
