DIY Resin Mold Skulls


This weekend Lauren and I did our first experiment with polyester resin casting. She is making skulls for a Mystique costume belt and I made a video to share the experience with other costumers who are interested in using casting resin to make their costumes.

We bought a 32 oz container of casting resin and a small container of catalyst from the craft store and used a cookie mold to get it into the skull shape. Each skull uses approximately one ounce of resin and takes about 24 hours to cure. They are easy to make, they are lightweight and durable, and they look great.

Check out the video for the details!
