This rectangular silicone mold from TotalBoat Epoxy is perfect for creating themed charcuterie boards for the holidays or for special occasions.

The key to this version is a child's toy bubble blower! Read on to see how I used it to create a unique background pattern.

Materials:

Snowflake buttons (Amazon)
TotalBoat Tabletop epoxy (Amazon)
Holographic glitter (Amazon)
Bubble blower (Amazon)
TotalBoat Charcuterie Board Silicone Molds (TotalBoat)
Rust-Oleum gloss spray paint (Amazon)
Wagner Heat Gun (Amazon)

Making a DIY charcuterie board with a totalboat epoxy silicone mold.

Bubbles! First, I filled the silicone mold to overflowing with bubbles. Work fast as the bubbles pop quickly!

Color is added to the mold with gloss Rust-Oleum spray paint in holiday green.

After filling with bubbles, IMMEDIATELY, spray with gloss spray paint. Don't worry, the paint will not make a mess of your mold. Any residue left after unmolding can be whisked away with a little common rubbing alcohol.

In this last minute christmas decor idea you'll need to wash away the soap bubbles from the silicone tray.

Let the paint dry for about 20 minutes then gently wash away the soapy bubble residue. Let it dry or gently pat dry.

Now layer in chunky holographic glitter and assorted sizes of plastic snowflake buttons.

I used TotalBoat tabletop epoxy over the buttons and holographic glitter.

I mixed up some TotalBoat Tabletop epoxy and poured this into the mold, spreading it evenly and removing air bubbles with a Wagner heat gun.

Adding additional chunky glitter and snowflake buttons.

I added another layer of glitter and buttons on top of the wet epoxy. Don't press these into the epoxy. This will give the finished tray a 3D look.

A final layer of TotalBoat epoxy was added to completely fill the silicone mold.

Removed the cured epoxy charcuterie tray from the mold.

I let the epoxy cure overnight and then took it out of the mold.

Finished. Notice the unique pattern the soap bubbles created.
