Mermaid Silicone Belt

Soft, skin-safe silicone shaped into coral textures, starfish, and layered scales — a belt that flexes with your body and catches light like something pulled from a tide pool. Alicia Mermaid sculpts the master in modeling clay, casts a reusable plaster mold, and tints the silicone with mica powder to build up rich, pearlescent color. A fantastic first silicone project that leaves you with a mold you can pour again and again.

Materials

  • Non-drying modeling clay
  • Platinum-cure silicone (skin-safe)
  • Plaster
  • Mica powder
  • Silicone adhesive
  • Dotting tool
  • Silicone molds (shells, starfish)
  • Scale cookie cutter
