Keoker Lavender Polymer Clay Earrings Molds - Mini Petals Cutters and Molds for Jewelry Making, Perfect for Earring Lovers, Flower Clay Cutters

I'm a beginner to polymer clay. I bought these to make earrings. I read the reviews, watched the videos, and did my research so my first batch of flowers went pretty well.I tried the cut off the excess trick that one reviewer recommended. I think I pressed the molds together too much because mine came out paper thin and it took a lot of time to fix. So I mostly just trimmed the excess off each flower which was super easy because they basically peel off from the pressure points.A summary of my best method. Get a clay roller and either popsicle sticks or an o ring. Roll out a fairly thin layer of clay. Lightly coat with cornstarch (use a paintbrush). Do your cutouts. Lightly coat the molds with cornstarch (optional I think but it helped me a lot). Press clay into the molds. Trim excess. Place "stamen" or some other metal in middle of flower. Bend mold to release the one flower and press up from the bottom and with the metal rod. Then you can store a few flowers on this one rod. Bake flowers.To remove the cornstarch, the internet said water would work. It hasn't. I'll try alcohol next but the coating is so light you can either paint over or ignore. No one will likely notice

Love this mould

So easy to make this flowers,Happy with this buy

The end result can be well worth it if you keep in mind that the flowers individually are very small and can be incredibly fragile. I've gotten around this issue (mostly) by pre-baking the polymer clay with a heat gun, letting it cool down and then gently popping them out of the mold. The mold is very sturdy and has given a perfect imprint of the flower every time. Considering I've made more then a few hundred at this point, I'd say it'll keep for a good long time.

Stunning product. Took a few tries to figure out which cutter went with which mold. Also had to use corn starch for releasing my soft clay. Turned out amazing! Now to find a good lead mold

Pretty as the picture. Failed with soft clay. Great with harder clay. Have some corn starch handy. The molds are amazing. If it isn't working, try a different clay. Don't give up!

I haven't used many molds or cutters with my clay designs. Flowers can be difficult to mass produce however and these were super cute. So I thought I'd give them a try.And I did try, several times. But for me the results did not warrant the effort.I use Sculpey III clay, which is soft and not ideal for molds in the first place. So thats why I gave these 3 out of 5 stars. I knew it would take some time to make these work with what clay I had.The mold itself is fine, but the cutters are hard plastic and removing the clay from them without damage was pretty much impossible.I did get slightly better results when using corn starch but again the effort was not worth the results for me.

I love this ! Worked as expected.
