PHYSICAL SILICONE MOULD — UK DELIVERY ONLY. Handmade to order by It's Me Lisa G. This is a ready-to-use flexible silicone mould, not a 3D printed housing or a digital download.
Create six different adorable flat-backed festive dumplings in one pour! Your one-piece silicone mould has six separate recessed cavities featuring a cheerful reindeer dumpling, gingerbread-inspired dumpling with bow, Santa-hat dumpling, elf-hat dumpling, snowman dumpling and holly dumpling. The finished pieces have flat backs, ideal for compatible decorative craft projects.
What you receive: 1 × six-cavity silicone mould in the Small or Large size selected. Wax, plaster, completed cast dumplings, painting supplies, 3D printed housing and STL/3MF files are not included.
Premium material and colour
Hand-poured using BBDINO platinum-cure silicone, Shore A 15, selected for its flexibility, fine detail reproduction and easier demoulding with suitable craft casting materials.
Made in clear silicone as standard. Prefer a coloured mould? Please contact us before placing your order to check the available options; specific colours cannot be guaranteed. The main mould photograph is an illustrative render.
Choose your finished-piece size
| Approximate per finished piece | Small | Large |
|---|---|---|
| Wax weight | 10g | 30g |
| Finished plaster weight | 13.3g | 40g |
| Volume | 11.1ml | 33.3ml |
| Cavity depth | 21mm | 26mm |
These weights are approximate per individual finished casting, not the complete six-piece batch or the weight of the silicone mould/printed housing. The plaster figures represent finished castings, not quantities of dry plaster powder. Actual weights vary with material density, mix and fill level; always follow the casting material manufacturer's instructions.
Using and caring for your mould
For compatible decorative casting materials such as wax or plaster. Check casting temperature and material compatibility, and follow your wax, plaster or other material manufacturer's directions for handling, curing and release. Avoid sharp tools and store the mould clean, dry and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Craft use only — not sold or certified for food contact.
About the product images
The six individual positive-piece illustrations show the types of festive dumplings the mould is designed to make. They are illustrative examples, not finished castings included with your purchase. Colourful features shown on the examples are decorative finishes, not colours automatically produced by a single pour. Small details may differ slightly between renders and finished castings, particularly in the smaller size.
Prefer a download instead? See the separate digital STL + 3MF mould housing files. Physical housings and ready-made silicone moulds are separate products.
Want to make your own silicone mould instead? Our matching physical 3D printed six-design mould housing is sold separately.

WHAT ARE YOU BUYING?
DIGITAL ONLY – STL and/or 3MF: the digital mould housing files specified in the individual product listing to 3D print yourself. No printed housing or silicone is supplied. Digital delivery is worldwide.
PHYSICAL 3D-PRINTED HOUSING: a printed mould-making framework with the master shape; you add and cure your own silicone. This is not a finished silicone mould.
PHYSICAL SILICONE MOULD: a finished flexible mould made by us for casting. Physical items are available for UK delivery only.
Check each individual listing for exact contents, size, licence terms and compatible uses.
MOULD SIZES: 10G + 30G WAX
Our updated digital mould housing designs are offered in two ready-designed sizes: approximately 10g and 30g of wax per finished casting. Where the product says both sizes are included, you receive both complete housing files with one purchase. Check the individual listing and actual download to confirm which STL and/or 3MF files are currently provided; do not assume a format is included unless listed.
As a rough comparison, 10g wax ≈ 13g finished plaster and 30g wax ≈ 40g finished plaster for the same cavity volume. Plaster figures are estimates of a finished casting, not dry plaster powder to weigh out. Follow the mixing and curing instructions on your own plaster packaging.
Every mould design has different overall housing dimensions, print times and silicone requirements. Consult the product's measurement table and check the actual STL/3MF dimensions in your slicer. All figures, weights and quantities are approximate, not guaranteed; materials and pouring methods affect the results.
PLEASE DO NOT RESIZE MOULD HOUSING FILES
Need a different size? Contact us with your preferred dimensions or estimated finished casting weight. We can look at making a properly redesigned version and listing it for you to purchase.
Our mould housings are not intended to be uniformly resized in your slicer — especially smaller. Shrinking the complete design also reduces the printed wall and floor thickness, along with the silicone clearance between, around and above the raised shapes. This could leave the housing weaker or the finished silicone mould too thin and prone to tearing. Scaling up changes cavity weights, printing fit and silicone quantities.
We redesign the cavity proportions and housing clearances as needed rather than simply scaling the complete print. Use the supplied files at their intended size unless a custom version has been made for you.
HOW MUCH SILICONE WILL I NEED?
Each product's sizing table gives an approximate amount of mixed silicone in grams for the whole mould — not for one individual casting. This is a planning estimate, so allow a little extra for residue in your mixing cup and any differences in your pour.
Silicone quantity depends on the precise housing geometry, intended fill height and the density of your chosen silicone. ml and grams are not interchangeable unless you use the manufacturer's actual mixed density. Follow the specific silicone's Part A and Part B mixing ratios and curing instructions. Our current digital housings are designed around approximately 4mm printed walls and floor, 5mm silicone between/around shapes, and 6mm silicone above them; check your product's specifications.
WHAT IS A MOULD HOUSING?
A mould housing holds a master shape inside a surrounding wall while liquid silicone cures. Once cured, remove the housing and master to reveal the flexible silicone mould. A pull-release tab helps gently lift or loosen the silicone during demoulding, avoiding damage to delicate features; it is not a carrying handle.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SILICONE MOULD
1. Prepare: Print your digital STL/3MF housing or use your physical housing. Check the master is seated and all joins are secure and leak-resistant; clean away dust and loose strands.
2. Protect: Work on a level, protected surface with appropriate gloves and ventilation. Keep food utensils separate from craft supplies. Use the PPE recommended by your silicone supplier.
3. Release: If required, apply a very thin coating of compatible mould-release spray to the master/housing and test first. Some silicone systems need no release. Coconut oil is sometimes used for non-food craft work, but it is not a guaranteed substitute: it can interfere with curing or surface detail, so only use it after a compatibility test.
4. Measure and mix: Follow the manufacturer's precise Part A/Part B ratio by weight or volume as specified, mixing thoroughly along the cup sides and bottom. Do not assume every silicone is 1:1.
5. Make it colourful: Add a tiny amount of silicone-compatible mica or pigment if desired. Too much, or the wrong type, can interfere with curing; test a sample first.
6. Pour: Pour slowly into one corner in a fine stream to reduce trapped air. Gently tap or use your manufacturer's recommended bubble-removal technique.
7. Cure and release: Wait for the specified temperature, curing time and any post-cure instructions before removing. Loosen the housing and use the pull-release tab carefully. Inspect for uncured areas before casting and test your chosen casting medium.
WHAT IS SHORE HARDNESS?
Shore A describes silicone firmness: lower numbers are softer and more flexible, higher numbers firmer. Suitable hardness also depends on design size, wall thickness and undercuts.
Shore A 0–10: extra-soft for intricate undercuts and delicate forms, usually needing support for larger pieces. Shore A 10–20: flexible general craft moulds, often chosen for plaster, wax melts and decorative resin where approved by the silicone maker. Shore A 20–30: firmer moulds for larger or simpler shapes, including some plaster and concrete casting. Shore A 30+: stiffer moulds or technical applications with less-demanding demoulding.
We use BBDINO platinum-cure Shore A 15 for many craft moulds, valued for detail reproduction and flexibility. Verify chemical, heat and casting compatibility for your exact silicone.
FOOD SAFETY, RELEASE SPRAYS & CARE
Food safe? Platinum-cure silicone is not automatically food-safe. Only use a silicone specifically documented as suitable for your intended food contact, prepared and cured exactly as the manufacturer requires. Colourants, release agents, 3D-printed surfaces and previous craft use can also affect suitability. Our craft mould products should be considered non-food use unless explicitly stated otherwise on the listing.
Never use a mould with food after making resin, plaster, wax or other non-food items in it. Check heat limits and intended applications. Use release spray approved for your particular silicone/master materials. Household coconut oil may leave residue or inhibit cure; do not rely on it for food moulds.
A little silicone-compatible mica can give your moulds beautiful colour, but not all mica pigments are silicone-compatible or food-contact approved.
MY MOULD RELEASE SPRAY
For some mould projects a suitable release spray helps separate materials cleanly. Follow product directions and test your silicone system before coating the master.
