Resin Ornament Molds & Kits: What to Buy

Short answer: for a first batch, pick flat silicone ornament molds with built-in hanging holes (no drilling), in sizes around 2–3 in, and work out the resin for the whole set before buying. A full set of 21 flat rounds ¼ in thick takes about 13 fl oz of resin (about 15 fl oz with 10% waste); a deep, shaped 16-design set is listed at about 15 oz.

FAQ

How much resin do I need for a set of ornament molds?

Add up each cavity's volume. A flat round 2.95 in wide and ¼ in thick holds about 1.7 cu in (≈0.95 fl oz). A full 21-cavity round set ¼ in thick is about 13 fl oz, or about 15 fl oz with 10% waste.

Do resin ornament molds need mold release?

Silicone molds usually release epoxy without it; follow the mold maker's guidance. See mold release for resin.

Can I use UV resin in ornament molds?

Yes for thin pieces, cured in layers of a few mm. LET'S RESIN lists its ornament molds for epoxy, UV and casting resin.
