Iron Orchid Designs Moulds are an incredibly versatile tool for creating unique and beautiful designs. To use them, you will need a few basic supplies such as a paintbrush, a surface to work on, and a release agent such as corn starch. First, dust a thin layer of the corn starch onto the mould. Next, depending on what medium you are using to make your castings you will fill the moulds. After you un-mould apply a thin layer of glue to the back of your casting and apply to the surface you are attaching the mould too. Obviously if it's a food product you would attach with icing or other edible item. You can use a dry brush to spread the paint, and then use a damp brush to create texture. Finally, press the mould onto your surface and let it dry. You can also use a heat gun to speed up the process. With a little practice, you'll be creating beautiful designs in no time!
