To make the jelly bean holds, we first 3D printed the holds that we wanted to replicate. To create the finished look we wanted, we sanded the holds and added a smooth finish coat to them. We then created silicone molds from those 3D printed holds. We cut the silicone molds in half and drilled a hole in the molds to have an opening to pour the resin in them to cast holds.

To get the different colors of jelly beans, we mixed three different colors of resin and cast 6 holds of each color. We poured the resin into the molds and waited for the resin to cure before taking the holds out. After the holds were cast, we drilled two sets of holes in them - each side with a through hole for the bolt and a blind hole for resting the washers to allow for mounting on the wall. We wet sanded the holds to remove the flash and rough edges from occasional misalignment of the molds. Afterwards we oiled and dried the holds to get the shine that provides the authentic look of a jelly bean!
