I have been working late into the evening trying to get these pumpkin buckets finished. My hands the couch my pants and my feet are absolutely covered in paper clay and paint. Creating  is absolutely my most favorite thing to do. When it comes to creating Halloween is at the top of my list! This week I am contuing my make it bigger theme, I have decided that I should make my candy buckets much larger than I have in the past. These pumpkins  are going to be 12” , normally I make them somewhere areound the 7” mark but this time I figured go big or go home right?

Making 2 Part Silicone Molds

It’s time to make molds! I have been working on this set of Johanna Parker Designs inspired trick or treat buckets for a few weeks now. I have decided the best way to keep their original charm would be to make up a mold for casting.  This is such a messy process! I made the mistake of wearing my favorite pants while I applied the many layers of silicone to the exterior of these spooky cuties needless to say I ended up wearing a bit of silicone as well! It takes between 4-5 layers of this sticky goop to build up enough layers to make a solid mold, with roughly 2 hours in between coats it is assured I will be at it all day(totally worth the effort though!)
