Making silicone moulds

I have some carved crystal animals and I accidentally bought silicone instead of resin, so I made a mould of some crystal animals with it. I used a little orange juice box and glued them down with PVA, then mixed the silicone according to the instructions and left it overnight. The rabbits are a little tricky to get out because of their ears. Silicone is also mixed by weight. I was worried about it sticking to the silicone measuring cup so I used washed out custard pots.

The original carved animals and the juice box I stuck them in.

Box with animals stuck to the bottom and silicone around them.

Final product out of the box.

Some of the crystal animals I've made in this mould.
