Beyond Resin: 10 Unique Ways to Use Our Silicone Resin Moulds in Other Crafts

Let’s admit it, most of us entered the resin world with innocent intentions. “Bas ek tray banake dekhte hain,” we told ourselves. But two weeks later, our carts were full of moulds, pigments, glitters and tools we couldn’t pronounce.

And now? You’ve got a silicone mould collection that could rival a mini-warehouse.

But here’s the twist: your silicone moulds aren’t just for resin. They’re basically the Swiss Army knife of the craft world, versatile, durable and always ready for some jugaad. You can explore a whole new world of crafts using those same moulds that brought your resin dreams to life.

So let’s shake off the resin dust and dive into crafty and totally fun ways to use your silicone resin moulds :

10 Unique Ways to Use Our Silicone Resin Moulds

1. Resin Art 

Okay, yes. We’re starting with resin because that’s where it all began. Coasters, bookmarks, nameplates, trays, keychains and your moulds have done it all.

If you’ve got any of these: round coaster, flower tray, alphabet keychain moulds, then resin is still their first love.

But now you can try layering, embedding, and texturing techniques to get Instagrammable finishes. The deeper the mould (8–10 mm), the more scope for design drama.

2. Sculpture & Casting 

Who says silicone moulds are only for pretty things? Bring out the pen stand, tube planter, or hexagon boat moulds and pour in some POP or white cement.

Once it sets, paint it, sand it, seal it.

They’re perfect for desk organisers, showpieces, or that random empty corner that needs a vibe.

Great for gifting or… selling (hello, mini business idea!)

3. Jewellery Making

You don’t have to use resin to make stunning jewellery. Try cold porcelain, polymer clay, or even terracotta in your jewellery or charm moulds.

Think statement studs, funky brooches, or festival-ready danglers.

Add your own jump rings, paint them, varnish them, and suddenly you’re a jewellery brand with just one mould and loads of creativity.

4. Polymer Clay Art

Got leftover clay from your school project days? Time to upgrade.

Press it into Spotify bar, alphabet, or feather moulds, bake per instructions (usually 110–130°C), and pop out custom charms, clips, or keychains.

You’ll feel like a Pinterest board in human form.

5. Soap Making

Your 3D flower, mini heart, or sunflower moulds are perfect for melt-and-pour soaps.
Melt your glycerine base, add essential oils and petals (like rose, lavender, or neem) and pour into your silicone moulds.
They pop out smooth and clean, ready to gift or glow up your own bathroom shelf.

Stick to deeper moulds (at least 8 mm) for best results.

6. Candle Making

Whether it’s Diwali or just a self-care Sunday, nothing says ambience like handmade candles.

Use soy or paraffin wax in T-light, sunflower, or round base moulds. Add dried herbs or fragrance oils for extra charm.

Just don’t forget a double boiler setup and always centre your wick properly. (Yes, it matters!)

7. Paper Craft Embellishments

Who needs boring stickers when you can create 3D POP embellishments?

Use mandala, bookmark, or feather moulds to pour in POP. Once set, paint them gold, copper, or even quirky neons.

Use them on cards, scrapbooks, festive envelopes, or photo frames. Instant “wow, where’d you get that?” effect.

8. Mixed Media Art

Got resin leftovers? Clay scraps? Glitter explosions? Combine them all.

Your moulds can act as mini canvases for embellishments. Think zigzag hearts, mini bezels, or uneven coasters, perfect for sticking onto bigger canvas projects.

Layer it all, add paper, beads, fabrics, and you’ve got mixed media magic.

9. Miniatures

If you’ve ever wanted to make dollhouse accessories, a mini boat, a rakhi mini combo, or tiny alphabet moulds are your dream tools.

Use air-dry clay or resin for food trays, tiny planters, or miniature notebooks. Add them to shadow boxes, terrariums, or school diorama projects.

Let the nostalgia flow.

10. Diorama & Model Making

Whether it’s for school science projects or hobby architecture, silicone moulds help add dimension to your sets.

Use flower bases for trees, round coasters for wells, alphabet moulds for signage, it’s all about storytelling through details.

Great for students, model train nerds, or that one cousin who makes Lilliput towns out of cardboard.

Final Thoughts: Your Moulds Are Just Getting Started

So next time you’re staring at your overflowing mould collection wondering “Ab kya banaun?” Remember, resin is just the beginning.

Silicone moulds are basically the all-rounders of the craft world. One day it’s a jewellery charm, the next it’s a fridge magnet or a fancy soap bar.

And if your stash is feeling tired, or if you’re ready to experiment beyond the usual, you’ll find every shape, theme and size of silicone resin moulds waiting to be explored at Tulsi Resin.
