Silicone Mold Decoration

In this project, we created a nice plate with a name, Gabriella which covered almost the whole plate 😊. Gabriella is my wife's friend's 2 years old daughter. We used some purple, pink and light green colors to give it a nice stylish look. In front of the name we used some decorations; a ladybug, an old fashion car - looks like Herbie, swan, stars, butterfly and some glass shapes that I printed with a laser cutter.

Process

Note: When you are mixing the powder with water, use a measuring cup. I usually add for example 150 ml powder into 300 ml water as mentioned below process. In any case, if you notice that it gets waterish, then add a little more powder. If it gets too thick, then add a little more water.

Raw material ration
Water: gypsum powder = 50:100

Pour water into gypsum powder and stir quickly

Pour the gypsum liquid into the mold

Move the mold up and down, poke it with the brush,
discharge the air bubbles and level the surface

Let it stand for about one hour, gently pull the edge of the mold and release it

Grind uneven edges with matte paper and clean with a dusting brush
