The easiest way to get the molds to release even the most delicate filigree molds is to put paper clay in mold then pop in freezer for 10-15 mins then they pop right out! Wahlah! Perfection

[@notebookluvr]

*Voila

[@orithfrankel2151]

Hey, Pork Chop! Excellent helpful idea. Even after an hour or two, the mold that’s intact by then, can easily be coaxed out nicely.

[@staciecampbell5078]

Paper clay is super easy to use with moulds. Just brush the mould with corn starch or baby powder before you put the clay in and it pops right out. Also, why in the world would you wait until it is dry? Just pop it out and do another. When it is still soft you can bend it and form it and glue it on your project. Let it dry in place there.

[@mariats9857]

Can you please tell me what to do with the shrinking and the gap that appears when i glue two parts of the clay?

[@GrumpetteJV]

Thank you, I will try this!

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

What brand of paper clay do you recommend? Mine comes out in pieces, and that's with cornstarch in the mold. These are intricate and delicate pieces...

[@yolandagofigure]

Oh my goodness!! Thank you for this. ❤️🌹🇨🇦

[@RijackiTorment]

Try brushing your mould with a thin coat of pigment powder like Pearl X, Perfect Pearls, or possibly even Shimmer Powder (haven't tried that yet) before you squeeze in the glue (or pour in the resin, squish in the clay, etc). The coloured powder melds with the substance without it being just a surface treatment that might obscure details. If your substance is clear (like resin or hot glue), you can get some really cool translucent effects. I've done a lot of epoxy resin casting with silicone moulds and brushing the mould with powder is one of my fav effects. I've also done it with epoxy clay and hot glue. I love working with epoxy resin but hate the curing time.

[@kristinevencel2898]

Rijacki Ledum these are very good ideas. Thank you!!

[@margaretcunningham7146]

Oooh!!! I've a lovely roses silicone mold for icing...tkink I'll try it with this!!! Lovely!!!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Great tips Alexandra! Thank you for sharing your time and creativity, HUGS!!!

[@johnrichard2385]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tip today, Alexandra! I’ve not used any molds for any projects but now since I’ve seen this video, it’s on my radar!!! ~ Katz

[@Taitcreates639]

How fun, lots to do with the molded items. Tyfs. Hug

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Love this top tip that is also the best product review I've seen on molds. I've been wanting that stars and moons mold for years but never got it because the paper clay was an unknown. Now I know without a doubt that I'm MUCH better off purchasing premade shapes out of resin, etc.

[@ireneherrera-shan7272]

Love the technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@susankingcs]

Wonderful tip I just wish you would of shown a finished product!

[@deedeeriggs]

Lol I'm glad to hear about this because I bought those molds and I was thinking after I got done with the clay I had I wasn't looking forward to having to keep trying to find it. Now glue I have a ton of! Liked Rijacki Ledum ideas, too.

[@mariad4183]

OMG loving your channel name and hair! You are adorable! Great tip - tyfs with us! xoxo

[@vshe4311]

OMG - Thank you!

[@Ellofez]

Great tips love it . Thanks for the share !

[@norinemueller4588]

Thank you great tip as always

[@tthappyrock368]

Great use for hot glue! So easy!

[@karenbreslauer2053]

Thank you so much. Great idea !!!

[@billiesuewoolley1805]

And, hot glue comes in colors with glitter in it!

[@genamomma]

Great tip! I have that locket mold and every time the paper clay will break the top off! It's too thin, so I will try this technique! Thank you so much! 👍💖

[@trehs98]

Great tips

[@summerholt112]

You have no idea how happy this makes me! I have so many moulds and no longer use them because I stopped using resin!

[@tanyajuli4145]

There have been a lot of vids on using paper clay with these IOD moulds. Using cornstarch is one tip for releasing from the mould, and others have shown that if you un-mould shortly after pressing the paper clay in and allowing it to dry slowly you don't get the breakage.

[@emilyfox2072]

Have u tried foam clay in your molds? They are a fun medium to use.

[@ZombieQueen819]

Thank you,,,, thank you,,,,, thank you 😊

[@kesami123]

You could probably also use the Mod Podge Melts sticks or colored glue sticks. You might want to try a little mold release before laying down your glue just to make release easier and leave no glue residue behind. You can also try UV resin.

[@ridgetopcrafts4441]

Ooh great tip about the colored glue sticks

[@notebookluvr]

This mold wouldn't be compatible with uv resin because of the opaque property of it. The light needs to be able to penetrate the mold so it can get all the way through the deepest part.

[@nikkiejones4606]

👋I'm new here and have subscribed to your channel today, I love your glue gun hacks! I can't wait to see all your other videos, thank you for sharing, God bless you abundantly in all things and much love from me too! ♥️🙏🥰😘

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@reneeg2636]

I use micah powder as a medium. Small amounts for this mold, fill halfway and stir, then fill in the top and stir again. Make sure you stir up from the bottom of the mold!

[@whimsicalendeavors]

Alexandra, gotta say you look fab with new hair and matching lipstick. Try using paperclay not prima clay. Let it sit for a bit and heat your oven to 170. Pop in, turn it off and let it dry overnight or set it outside in hot sun. Also there is epoxy clay that is much sturdier and air dry as well. Great for trinkets and charms. Tfs. Pea

[@lzrd8460]

I'm new to your channel and love, love, love your organization unit behind you. Pretty top, and perfect slats for folders and drawers for everything else. I wish my craft room looked half as nice. I have a question. Would spraying molds PAM first help to get out the paper clay? I just bought paper clay and am waiting for some molds I bought online to come in. I know I can use corn starch but I wonder if PAM would work? PAM is a spray people use instead of greasing their pans before baking cakes and cookies. Have you ever tried that? Just interesting in knowing if it would work or not. I'm new to molds and clay but I want to make some Christmas ornaments as gifts this year. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed!

[@jenniehawkins9998]

I am new here. Like you I found it difficult to use the paper clay. Looking for alternatives. Thanks for the tips.

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Brilliant. Why hadn't I thought of this before? I have so many molds cause I used to work with polymer clay. Can't wait to play!

[@ruchapande40]

I have a mod podge silicone mat does that work the same

[@dianemurray680]

Hi, Can you paint the items you make in the molds with the hot glue?

[@debschoen5581]

Hi ya-thank you for showing this I not seen this mold before-do you color the before you put glue in or after it is cool & taken out?

[@HedgehogHollow]

Color after its cool

[@marylynngranado7006]

how long to you let the clay set in the tray before removing it

[@jillianchaloux6186]

Can you do this to make molds for furniture to make anthropologie peice?.

[@motomyrtle]

You can use silicone chalk too. Takes longer to dry.

[@better970]

Hello first time here. Can i use these glue moulds for furniture?

[@nsmith6345]

Using a polymer clay like PREMO works great and isn't nearly as messy as using glue.

[@ColorfulDimensions1014]

👋

[@mrangieglad]

Hi Alex, I was wondering if you have already done tips to clean paperclay off moulds. I have the prima moulds and used paperclay but I was wondering what the best way to clean them was. thanks in advance. Angie

[@HedgehogHollow]

I havent had any stick on mine, i would try soap and water and it that does work alcohol is my next go to and then glass cleaner and then blending solution; thats my cleaning escalation!

[@aminakishk6571]

Glue gun glue won’t melt my mould ?

[@hanettedebruin6342]

What the cost of the glue gun in South Africa

[@bobbyebissette2232]

Please turn on your closed captioning. Thanks!

[@GrumpetteJV]

Saving this for the tips in the comments, so good. Not liking the idea of using the glue gun.

[@terriradke4190]

Sorry, I didn't catch the make of your glue gun. Would you mind stating it again? Thank You!

[@potterscottagecrafts407]

@ Cheryl Smith, How rude are you!!!! She is giving a tutorial in her own free time for crafters, and you come on and are unbelievably rude. You're mother obviously didn't bring you up properly. Old saying ' If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all'. Absolutely disgusting you should be ashamed of yourself.

[@angelaleigh5823]

I have 3 of these Ad Tech glue guns and they are the worst !!! Mine drips constantly wasting my glue sticks and one even blew up on me I was using it and it made a sound sparks jumped out of it. This brand of glue gun is the absolute worse!!!!!

[@julzzz-]

Do u have an alternative glue gun u are using now thats much better?

[@cherylsmith4102]

do your nails,,,do not use glue in moulds and stop dropping names
