Even better it makes the most beautiful acorns each fall.

High on this list are pine cones, driftwood and acorns.

Its just the shape of the beautifully plump acorns from my oak tree that I find so inspiring.

This ring of acorns came to mind and I decided to try and make a silicone mold of them.

Head on over to the Resin Crafts Blog for thenapkin ring making tutorial.

Trust me, I know from experience!

Cover your working surface and work in a well-ventilated area.

Start by selecting similarly sized and shaped acorns.

I used seven to make a ring about 3 across.

Glue the acorns in place to the flat disc.

Be sure to add glue between the acorns as well.

Youll want to have a continuous ring in your mold, rather than separated acorns.

Measure the amount of rice you used this will be the total volume of silicone rubber to mix up.

I ended up using the entire contents of my box.

Stir the two parts together until thoroughly combined.

Next, pour the combined liquid silicone rubber into your round containter.

Then, slowly place the acorns,face down, into the silicone rubber mixture.

You want to go slowly to give any air a chance to escape before the acorns are fully submerged.

Dont go too far you want the disc to stay above the silicone.

Youll need to pull the disc up a bit if this is the case.

Set your container on a level surface and leave to cure for 24 hours.

Once cured, remove your new mold from the container.

Youre mold should be solid yet flexible.

Youll want to uncover the top sections of the acorns as shown.

Next, slowly pop the acorn parts and glue pieces out of the mold.

Use the utility knife to cut clear channels between the acorns.

Your new, one-of-a-kind silicone mold is all ready to go.

Some of the debris from the acorns stayed behind in my mold.

But a I used it to make thesenapkin rings with FastCast resin, the debris cleared out.

I wish we had these acorn napkin rings when we put together Sonjaswoodland-inspired Thanksgiving tablescapea couple of years ago!

There are so many possibilities with the EasyMold Silicone Rubber.

Have you done any silicone mold making?
