I have recently purchased a starfish mold in hopes of making a silicone starfish top. This mold wasnt cheap and I don't want to ruin it I'm trying to figure out how to color the silicone. Suggestions?

I'm no expert, and all my knowledge comes from YouTube crafters, but I'm sure there's silicone specific pigment that shouldn't transfer to the mold?

Hi! So in order to pigment your silicone you'll want to by powder pigment which you can find at Hobby Lobby. The brand I recommend is Jacquard Pearl Ex. It's roughly $6.00 in the US. The entire container is enough to color an entire Silicone tail so you only need a pinch. Good luck!

And Hobby Lobby regularly has weekly coupons on regular priced items. I hope this helps! Also, make sure you get a good release for your silicone so it doesn't stick to the mold.
