Very cool! I love the cute rattle and bottle=) Jen
I love the silicone plastique too! (I recognised that distinctive blue colour!)
I bought some a few weeks ago and made a mould of a mini barbie doll, that I used to make a figure of Ariel for a Little Mermaid cake. It turned out great!
I had some of the silicone that I'd mixed together lleft over (it comes as two parts that you combine to activate it) and began scouring my kitchen for more things to make moulds of - it's so much fun and dries in about an hour to a flexible mould.

I think I saw somewhere that you can use fondant or gumpaste to make molds as well. I'll have to do some investigating for more info.........
I purchased it, "Silicone Plastique" from www.makeyourownmolds.com I really think that it is cost effective as ready made silicone molds are so expensive. I had first contacted Alan from Global Sugar Art and he was very quick to direct me to Dominic at www.culinart.com This stuff is wonderful and in light of the SC debacle, GSA and Culinart are really just wonderfully helpful! I'm scouring my jewlery and anything else I can find to make more. It really is such fun!
What would you use these molds for? I'm totally lost but it looks like so much fun! lol
I bought something similar at Hobby Lobby. It cost about $20/kit and I can make three/four molds depending on the size of the mold. I've used it to make chocolate molds for some of my cakes in my photos. I will have to see if this stuff is a little cheaper!
That's what I was wondering if you could use these molds with candy melts to make different candies and stuff or if it wasn't for that or wasn't safe for that...
Wow! Looks neat 
I just bought some Sculpey clay with the intention of making some molds, however they wouldn't be flexible. Do you know if I'd have a hard time with the Sculpey? Maybe I should return it and get some of this stuff 
Thanks for the site info 
The post below from torki:
This recipe works great, I used it to make the mold for the chocolate baby that sits on my "Amanda's Cake".
I suggest storing the finished molds in the refrigerator. After 1 1/2 weeks in tupperware on a shelf mine got moldy

I make my own molds recipe below:
300ml water, 100gms gelatin, 300gms sugar,
and Boil water, whisk in gelatin mixed with sugar. Skim any scum that surfaces. Stir until dissolved.
Place object to be your mould in the minimum sized container that will surround object, so to use minimum amount of mixture (more for other moulds). Pour mixture over until completely covered (you may need to hold under for a few mins. if it floats to top...use a fork or skewer. then refrigerate until set. to remove cut one clean line through the mould to split in two.
I spray with a little spray oil if using for choc and when using modeling paste or fondant I dust with a little corn flour
when tired of mould melt down and use again ....Have fun!!!

No ~ do not use Sculpey for making molds that food will touch. You should never share tools between Sculpey and food items, either. I work quite a bit with Sculpey and while it's a wonderful, wonderful fun clay, you don't want to use it for making molds for use with fondant and gumpaste. 
Don't return it - play with it! You can really hone your fondant/gumpaste figurine making skills with Sculpey - and then bake it and keep it!

That's what I was wondering if you could use these molds with candy melts to make different candies and stuff or if it wasn't for that or wasn't safe for that...
The stuff I bought at Hobby Lobby is food safe. You can even use it to mold a baby's fist. I use it to mold just about anything - usually toys that my kids have, shells, etc.
Thanks mj. What is the exact name of it again? I don't have a hobby lobby near by so I'm hoping to be able to find it in the one craft store I do have lol. Or what is the best/cheapest place online to buy it? I was thinking of making a swan shapped mold to go with my wedding theme to make candies for each place setting to match the mint cups... but like only half the swan like a profile of it...
I'm cheating on Christian Bale w/ Jeremy Sisto! hehehe I need a life...

I bought a doll thats head was 3" across and when she was sitting down was about 8" high. She had a cloth body so I had to remove the head, arms & legs.
Making this 3D mold was quite involved, here are the instructions:
This is how I made my baby molds from the recipe above.
You will need:
4 16oz. Solo cups (one for each arm & leg)
1 container 6 deep x 6 across (for head)
Unflavored Gelatin, about 3-4, 8 oz. boxes (Knox or store brand)
Regular sugar
Water
Plastic doll arms, legs and head.
4 wooden skewers
Take one doll arm, one cup & one skewer,
poke the skewer thru the top of the cup on both sides,
remove the skewer and poke it thru the very top edge of the doll arm, remove skewer, poke it thru one side of the cup thru the top of the doll arm than thru the other side of the cup so the arm hangs down in the center of the cup without touching the sides or bottom of the cup. Do this with the other arm and each leg.
Make a small amount of the gelatin mixture (about ½ cup) pour into the bottom of the container you will use for the head, place head into mixture so the neck is on the bottom of the container. Put in refrigerator to set (about 1 hour).
You do this so you dont have a problem with the head floating up, which it will if you pour the full amount without securing the head first.
While this is setting measure out all your ingredients for your large batch of gelatin.
When head is set, remove from refrigerator and make your large batch of mold gelatin.
Let it cool so it is still pourable but not too cool where it starts to set up, if it does start to set you can re-heat it to a pourable state. As it is cooling continue to skim off the foam/bubbles that form on top and make gelatin cloudy.
When mixture is cool enough pour into each cup and container with the head, refrigerate until set. (I did mine over night).
Remove from refrigerator.
Remove each mold from the cups and larger container. This can be a little difficult, be patient you want each mold in one piece.
After all molds are out, take a sharp knife and cut mold (all the way thru to the doll part) from the top of the cup shape, straight down to the bottom of the cup shape then back up the other side. Remember you want a 3D mold, carefully remove the plastic part.
I stored my molds back in the containers I made them in.
NOTE: Place a length of curling ribbon inside the
center of each container make sure it comes outside of the container on each side before you put the mold back in for easy removal of the mold later.
If you are using chocolate you must lightly spray your mold with (oil) cooking spray, wipe away excess that may pool in low spots.
I stored my molds in a large Tupperware container. They got moldy a week later and I had to throw them away. In the future I will store them in the refrigerator. If you dont want to reuse the mold, you can melt it down and make a new one.
Good luck,
Sheri
PennySue,
