Silicone Daisy Mold for Polymer Clay, 6 Flower Sizes

White or gray silicone mold measuring approximately 3¼ × 3¼ inches. Makes daisy shapes in six sizes: 0.7, 0.9, 1, 2, 2.1, and 2.2 cm.

Example: How to Use the Mold with Polymer Clay

1. Gather your materials. You will need polymer clay, the silicone mold, a clean work surface, and optional tools such as a rolling pin, craft knife, and baking sheet.
2. Prepare your work surface. Clean and smooth the surface to help keep debris from sticking to the clay. A countertop, ceramic tile, or sheet of glass can work.
3. Condition the clay. Knead it by hand or use a clay conditioning machine until it is soft, pliable, and easy to work with.
4. Prepare the mold. Lightly dust the inside with a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to help release the clay.
5. Press in the clay. Press a small piece of conditioned clay firmly into the daisy shape, filling the details and smoothing out air pockets.
6. Remove excess clay. Use a craft knife or flat-edged tool to scrape away extra clay so the back is even with the mold.
7. Release the flower. Gently flex the silicone mold or push the clay out from the back. Work slowly to avoid distorting the shape.
8. Refine the shape. Smooth rough edges or lines with your fingers, a soft brush, or a small tool.
9. Bake the clay. Follow the polymer clay manufacturer’s instructions for temperature and baking time. Place the clay on a baking sheet or ceramic tile as directed.
10. Cool and finish. Let the baked piece cool completely. You can then sand, paint, varnish, or add embellishments if desired.

This is a general example. Follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturers of your polymer clay and mold, since baking temperatures and times can vary.
