  • Brass molds
STEP 1
Portion equal quantities of each part of the silicone molding compound. Follow manufacturer's recommendations on mixing the compound (each brand has different guidelines).
STEP 2
Place the compound onto the non-stick art sheet and pat into a pad large enough to accommodate the brass mold.
STEP 3
Press the mold into the compound so it is pressed in completely and is level to the surface.
STEP 4
Allow the silicone compound to cure then remove the brass mold.
STEP 5
Use the cured silicone mold to create molded designs in polymer clay, metal clay or Apoxie® sculpt.

Optional: Trim the silicone mold to create a clean border around the molded area and use as a stamp to impress the design into polymer clay, metal clay or Apoxie Sculpt.
