Specifications

Perfect for

• Green clay ferns for flower arrangements
• Fern trims on pillar candles and wax melts
• Resin fern charms and earrings
• Leaves for wreaths and wall hangings
• Soap bars with a fern on top

Compatibility

Works with: polymer clay, air dry clay, epoxy resin, UV resin, candle wax, melt and pour soap and plaster.

Pairs well with: polymer clay, mica powder, candle wax and green candle colours.

Not suitable for: food, cake decorating or chocolate, since we state no food grade rating for this mould, and sharp tools, which cut the silicone.

How to Use

1. Wipe the mould clean and dry, since dust shows on a resin or wax cast.
2. Press clay in firmly from the centre outwards, or pour resin or wax slowly into one corner so air can escape.
3. Level the back flush with a card or blade, then leave the piece to set, dry or cure fully.
4. Flex the silicone back from the edges and lift the piece out rather than pulling it.

Before You Buy

• We state no food grade rating for this mould, so use it for clay, resin, wax and soap, not for food.
• We state no oven temperature rating either, so lift polymer clay out of the mould before you bake it.
• One photo shows the same fern design in grey with green and gold casts; this listing is the pink mould.
• Clay, resin, wax and colours are sold separately.

You will Need

• Clay, resin, wax or soap to cast
• A craft knife or card to level the back
• Gloves and a covered work surface for resin

You may also like

• polymer clay
• candle wax
• mica powder

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the fern leaf mould?
It is a round mould 9.2cm (3.6 inch) across with fern fronds in several sizes.

How is this different from the mini bee mould?
This one is 9.2cm round and casts fern fronds. The mini bee mould is 9cm round and casts small bees and flowers.

Can I use it for candle wax?
Yes. Pour wax a little cooler than for a pillar so the fine leaflets fill without bubbles.

Should I press air dry clay or polymer clay into it?
Air dry clay hardens in the open air and shrinks a little, so pick it for wall art and decor. Polymer clay only sets once baked and does not shrink, so pick it for jewellery and fine detail, and lift it out of the mould before baking.
