Skull Craft Projects – Full Series. A five part video featuring various skull related projects, including painting effects, casting and more…
If you would like to make a latex mold, here is a video which shows how to do just that: Make A Latex Mold: https://youtu.be/rjhFt-C9h6g
Part One – Cast A Concrete Skull.
Showing the process of casting a skull with concrete, using a latex skull mold. You can make your latex mold from a skull sculpture or cast. Simply pour the concrete into the mold and wait around 24 hours for the concrete to set. Concrete mixture is 2 parts sand to 1 part cement. Mix with concrete bonder, washing up liquid/dish soap, nylon fibres/polyfibers and water.
Part Two – Concrete Skull Painting | Metallic Copper Paint Effect.
How to paint a concrete casted skull with metallic copper effect using dry-brush technique and copper effect paint. The concrete casted skull is primed with acrylic paint before applying the copper effect paint with a paint brush.
Part Three – Make A Skull Candle Holder.
In this video, a skull is casted from plaster of Paris and a candle with a dripping effect is added to the casted skull. A hole is drilled into the top to fit a tea light candle with the finished model emulating a dripping candle over a skull. A suitable prop for this time of the year – Halloween, plus a dark piece of decor for all year round.
Part Four – Concrete Skull Painting | Natural Bone Effect.
Paint a concrete skull cast using acrylic paint. Colours used are white and brown (burnt umber). Use a paintbrush to apply thinned with water brown acrylic paint to undercoated skull cast. The undercoat is painted with white acrylic paint with a hint of burnt umber to create an off-white colour, resembling natural bone. The undercoat or primed coat is best painted around 24 hours in advance for best results with applying the brown paint and wiping with a cloth for a natural looking affect.
Part Five – Concrete Skull Painting | Reactive Bronze Metallic Paint With Green Patina.
Painting reactive bronze metallic paint with green patina on a concrete skull. From priming, applying the bronze metallic paint, applying the green patina, to the final aged bronze look or effect on a casted concrete skull.

Following on from sculpting a tea light candle holder from plaster of Paris, this video shows how to make a latex mold to reproduce copies of the original sculpt or pattern.
Part Three – Cast A Concrete Tea Light Candle Holder.
Cast a tea light candle holder with concrete. Using original plaster sculptures for models to make the latex molds, reproductions of the original sculpture can be casted using concrete poured into the latex molds. This video shows the process of casting the concrete casts from the latex molds to make the tea light candle holders.

Make Concrete Leaves | Casting | Molding | Painting | Full Series.
Part One – Make A Concrete Leaf (00.10).
Making a concrete leaf cast from a small gunnera leaf. Using concrete mixed with two parts sand to one part cement, along with nylon fibres or polyfibres, concrete bonder and washing up liquid/dish-soap.
Part Two – Latex Mold A Concrete Leaf (13.14).
Make a latex mold from an originally casted concrete leaf to make reproductions of original model, pattern, prototype, etc.
This video show the latex molding process with building up multi-layers of latex to build a durable mold which will be used for making further concrete casts of concrete leaves.
Part Three – Concrete Mother Mold For Latex Leaf Mold (20.43).
This video shows how to make a basic concrete mother mold from concrete. The mother mold is simple to make and using inexpensive materials, which consist of cement, sand, nylon fibres, concrete bonder and washing up liquid – basic concrete mix for this particular project.
Part Four – Make A Concrete Leaf With A Latex Mold (29.34).
How to make a concrete leaf with a latex mold. Using a latex mold to create a concrete leaf from an original concrete leaf. This saves time with finding suitable leaves, plus enabling duplicate and multiple copies of original concrete leaves.
Materials used are sand, cement, polyfibres or nylon fibres, bonding fluid, washing-up liquid and of course the latex mold, taken from the original leaf molding.
Part Five – Demolding Concrete Leaf From Latex Leaf Mold (36.40).
Demolding concrete leaf from latex mold. Following on from the video ‘How to make a concrete leaf with a latex mold’, here is the demolding process shown in this video.
Part Six – Concrete Leaf Painting | Autumn/Fall Red Style (39.19).
Paint a concrete leaf in an Autumn/Fall style using acrylic paints. First undercoat the leaf with a base coat. Undercoat video here: https://youtu.be/n7m_V6CLEe8
Using a palette of red, orange and yellow, dry brushed layers of paint are applied to create an Autumnal or Fall effect. Edges finished with a dark brown colour, which is the same as the base coat.
Part Seven – Make A Miniature Concrete Leaf (48.05).
Make A Miniature Concrete Leaf. In this video a miniature concrete leaf is made using a latex mold taken from a concrete cast from a natural gunnera leaf.
The same process is followed as making a concrete leaf which is featured in a video on the Dramamask Evolution YouTube channel. There is also a video of how to make a latex leaf mold also. Related videos are in this description, plus links to the videos in the video.
Using concrete with a mixture of 2 parts sand to one part cement, concrete bonder, washing up liquid/dish soap and water is all which is needed to make the actual concrete leaf cast.
The miniature concrete leaves are fun to make, as well as regular sized leaves and large leaves. Making the latex mold, will of course give you the capacity to make multiple leaves from one mold, instead of using original natural leaves just the once. It is also a bonus to preserve your favourite leaf casts in latex to reproduce over and over again! 🙂
Part Eight (Final) – Concrete Leaf Casting | Speed Time Lapse (54.46).
