Polymer clay molds are used for scrapbooking, making paper cameos for greeting cards, package (gift) decoration, christmas tree decorations, jewelry making,embellishments, card making, altered books, candle embeds, dolls, magnets, buttons, wax, cake icing, and anything the imagination dictates.

Casting Paper Pulp ...

Formula #1:

This is the hardest formula, get some soft toilet tissue. Place it in a bowl. Pour water over it, wait a half an hour or so, then stir it up a bit with a fork. Doesn't matter how much water; however, the more water the easier it is to pulp and work with. That's it. 

The cameos made with this will fall out when dry. A formula for making harder paper cameos is below this.

1:Nothing special has to be done to the mold. Just heap a little pulp in to the mold. I squeese them out with the back of another mold, but caution is advised as a person could break 2 molds at once. If I don't have another mold thatI'd risk, I just gently squeese the water out with my finger tips. Then place the mold and pulp upside down on a paper towel and geltly push the excess out.
You don't have to be especially neat with the pulp as it is very easy to trim off with sissors, if you'd like. I eprsonally leave the little bits on.

2:Leave the pulp dry, your item will fall out as soon as it is dry.
If I'm making clay molds, I place these in a warm oven, warm, not hot the paper will dry pretty quick. If I have some later in the evening I just leave them on a heat vent overnite.

3:That's it! Once dry they are used, if you have purchased some of my molds, you have gotten one of these on your instructions. These can be painted, glued (I use a ross glue stick) to special greeting cards, packages...On and on... They are as inexpensive as tissue paper and your time so you can make a bunch up at a time and let your kids (grand kids) paint and glitter them for hanging on the christmas tree!
My next project will be: How to get glitter and paint off a four year old. Should be intresting!

Formula for the die hard! (2:)
Make your own paper pulp.  Tear good quality stationery and cards  into postage stamp size pieces.  The paper pieces become pulp when blended in a blender with plenty of water.

 It is also possible to color the pulp with pigment (if the picturtes are here, note the blue one; I have brushed the mold edge with a little food coloring (actually in that case, too much, a little goes a long way!)), pieces of brown paper bags, or construction paper.  I have found, however,  it is a better plan to paint the cast handmade paper with water-based paints. A note here, any cameo that has curled from too much heat will uncurl here, but if you need it uncurled before painting a small drop of water on it's back will straighten it out.
