For this week's tip I simply wanted to let you know that if you are working with baking clay- you may want to invest in the silicone trays @ your local dollar store. They work really well for clay baking and are only a dollar!
You know the ones...they look like this:
In my research, I came across some options at the dollar store. Themed molds seem to sell during holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, etc... They seasonally carry pumpkin, Christmas tree & heart shaped silicone molds . You may get lucky & find other shaped molds for $1 and it would be a great investment. Especially if you create your own jewelry pieces and/or embellishments with baking clay like Sculpey.
Once you use it for crafting though you shouldn't use it for anything else.
Also, use a little PAM spray on the mold before placing your baking clay inside. It helps your piece release easier.
That's it for today's tip.
Now go have yourself a happy, crafty day!
Awesome tip Sonia!!
ReplyDeleteI just saw these used with crayons....melt them in these molds and when they are hard....pop them out and you have shaped crayons. Perfect for kiddo birthday parties and school parties!
Thanks for sharing and hope you had a GREAT Christmas and New Years!!
BTW~ Buffalo Stamps is having a Riley the Moose class on Jan 21st....any interest in joining me?
Happy, New Year, my wonderful friend!!! Hope you had a very blessed and grand holiday!
ReplyDeleteSonia, I have both of those!!! I didn't get a chance to use the trees for Christmas but I sure hope to use the hearts for Valentine Day!!! My friend, you just don't miss anything, do you!!! How surprising you found these to post! God knows I just love you!!!
Hugs!
I never knew the dollar store carried those...I"ll have to check it out! I tried a tree one for the first time this christmas for our traditional blueberry muffins and they turned out great....I don't usually work with clay but I'll pick them up for a buck for the kitchen! :)
