How to Make Silicone Beads
Silicone beads are made by mixing silicone rubber with color pigments and a curing agent. This mixture is then poured into bead-shaped molds and left to cure, transforming into the solid, flexible beads used in various crafting projects. The process ensures the beads are durable, non-toxic, and uniform in shape and size.
