CakeMasters UK: silicone plastique

Just wanted to share how I made this fabulous lace mould!

To make the mould you need to do three things:

- Seal your lace

- Back your lace

- Cover with Silicone Plastique

STEP 1:

To make the mould you need appliqué lace.

I have put some examples for appliqué lace below, appliqué lace is thicker and has a defined border.

Step 2:
The lace is first sealed with Seal-Dit

Step 3:
and then backed onto Safety-clay

It is amazing the level of detail that can be can be transfered across.
I used small instrument charms and was amazed how all the little keys showed up in the mould.
