DIY Chess Piece Silicone Mould for Resin & Clay
Create your own chess-inspired pieces
Turn your next craft session into something a little more strategic with this DIY Chess Piece Silicone Mould. Designed for creative casting projects, the mould allows you to make chess-inspired shapes that can be transformed into pendants, ornaments, charms, jewellery components, or decorative details.
This listing is for the reusable silicone mould only. Finished pieces, resin, clay, pigments, chains, tools, and other accessories are not included. The mould is white, and the supplier lists it as suitable for clay, UV resin, and epoxy resin projects.
Make every piece your own
Choose a clear finish for a glass-like look, mix in pigment for solid colour, or add suitable decorative inclusions to create a piece that reflects your own style. Dark metallic tones can give the chess shape a gothic edge, while pearlescent or translucent colours create a lighter, more ethereal result.
Once cured and removed from the mould, the finished shape can become part of a handmade pendant, keychain, ornament, display piece, or other craft project. Always choose findings, adhesives, coatings, and decorative materials that are compatible with the casting material you use.

How to use
Place the mould on a flat, protected work surface. Prepare your chosen casting material according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Pour or press the material into the mould slowly, taking care to reach the smaller details and reduce trapped air. Allow the piece to cure fully before removing it.
To demould, gently flex the silicone away from the cured piece rather than pulling aggressively on narrow areas. Trim or finish the casting only after it is fully cured. Results will vary depending on the resin or clay, colourants, curing method, and technique used.
The supplier does not provide verified written dimensions, so review the product images carefully to understand the mould size and finished-piece proportions. Minor measurement differences of approximately 1–2 mm may occur.
Care instructions
Clean the mould after use according to the instructions for your chosen craft material. Allow residue to cure before gently removing it where appropriate. Avoid sharp tools that could cut or puncture the silicone. Store the mould flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, dust, and heavy objects that could distort its shape.
Craft safety
Resin and curing products can require gloves, eye protection, ventilation, and careful measuring. Always follow the safety and curing instructions supplied by the resin or clay manufacturer. Keep uncured materials and the mould away from children, pets, food, and food-preparation surfaces. This product is sold as a craft mould and is not stated as food-safe.
