I don't care how long a video is, so long as its got all the information I need to get the job done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & ideas with me, keep up the great work! Looking forward to another tutorial soon.
Thank you so much Melissa 💛💚💜
Thank you!I bought a lace mold and have tried the air dry clay w no luck and have been searching for videos to help me.so glad i found you!
Thank you Tina, there was a lady who had videos who I learnt it from, but has since removed them, not sure why?
Helen, I really love 💕 those moulds. Fascinating. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you so much 😊
Definitely not too long. Lovely video and nice to watch you actually making the lace. They're all so beautiful! And so are those cards. Thanks for another lovely tutorial xx
Thank you so much Carol, something different but a great way to make embellishments
Excellent instructions for this project! Thanks for giving so detailed information on products that can be used, and how to use them!
You are very welcome
What a marvellous idea. Love that last long lacey strip. Thanx for sharing such a detailed video. Love your cards.
Tha k you Paula I am glad you liked the 'lace 💛💚💜
These are gorgeous! It looks like fun to make them. I love trying new things. Plus it doesn't look like it would be expensive at all. I'm going to have to try this! Thanks for making this video, and it definitely wasn't too long!
Glad you liked it Sue, enjoy it
OmGosh This is the best video I have ever seen. I'm going to rewatch it again. Thank you for this wonderful great idea.
Thank you so much Therese, do give e it a go 💚💙💜
I am excited to be able to match doilies and lace to my ink/paper! Also, no overstock to store! How GREAT is this!!
Great that you liked it Nancy
Great video. I saw someone else do this on a video but they were definitely not as thorough as you have been and I appreciate your thoroughness. You have a lovely speaking voice and I could listen to you all day. I am going to check out your other videos in the morning. It is the wee hours where I live. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much 🌹🌻🥀

Glad you enjoyed it Bronwyn
Thank you for this video! I’ve wanted to use molds but had no luck with the clay. This is great!
Glad I could help, 💙💚💛
Oh my......What an amazing idea. Thanks so much for sharing, I can't wait to give this a go....

Thank you 🎄🎅🎄
This is so COOL! TFS, Helen! I went to your linked video and that crafter said molds were available at Hobby Lobby here in the states. Can't wait to try this!
Aliexpress takes longer to arrive, but they are super cheap.
Your cards are absolutely stunning!! I think I may look for that last mold you showed to decorate some cakes for the holidays its just beautiful! tfs xoxo Glo
Thanks Crafticakes7, I bought a second one to use just for cakes, it is so lovely💜💚💙

Absolutely brilliant and so engrossing to me! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much for making me spend more money on crafting! It makes my husband crazy....oh well!
Thank you Annettte

Thank you so much Ingrid
Wow! I definitely need to try this! It's giving me all sorts of ideas of things I can make!
Have fun
@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 I'm having difficulty finding the Golden Molding paste. All I see is Fiber paste which usually has strings in it, so I don't think that will work.
I dont think that would work. Try finding a paste plaster filler at a hardware store, but it cant be silicone based and it has to be a flexible one otherwise it will crack when you try takungbut outbox the mold. Hope that helps.
Enjoyed this video and I don't think it was too long at all. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you, it's nice to hear it wasn't too long, I get worried that I bore people lol
thank you
Bored ... nope, not me ... I've wondered about those fondant molds.
Helen, this video has been so helpful. I have some silicone molds from Martha Stewart but nothing like these gorgeous lacy ones. Can't wait to get some. I am curious and I have to ask... have you used the beautiful lace you mentioned as your favorite? Would 3 of those loops fit in the long side of a 5x7 card? I think it would make a stunning wedding card.
Very pretty doilies!
Lovin'Life2016 thank you
This is amazing I make this with AliExpress but you convine with another products is gorgeous thanks for sharing! New subbie.

Thank you very much for this video! This opens a whole new world for me, alhamdulillah! I have been longing to use die cuts. But a manual die cutting machine is not available in my country. I can get one from abroad. BUT what I don't like is that I can't use my own designs because I have to buy ready-made die cuts. An electronic die cutting machine can enable me to do that but I feel apprehensive. Since they are not readily available in my country, I don't think it will be easy to get it repaired if something happens.
Since what is important for me is using my own cut-out designs and they don't have to be on paper, silicone molds are good for me. First I have to design something on my PC and then go to a shop that will laser cut my design on thin metal or some other sturdy material. Then I have to make a silicone mold of my laser-cut design. Once my mold is ready I can use your techniques to reproduce my design when I want it and as much as I want it, in shaa Allah! That means, I will be able to use your technique to make cut-out designs of my own drawing, hand-lettering etc!
Once again, thank you. Your video is not long at all, it has just the right amount of detailed info. Keep it up!
Design For Deen , I am pleased you enjoyed my video, and glad it is going to allow you to do what you want. Good luck with this, and hope you like the results 😄
Just Brilliant thank you for sharing.
Thank you Patricia 🌻🌻🌻
Just got my first mold order and used caulking to make snowflakes. Not totally successful the first time round but I am so excited with this new idea (to me). Passed this idea and video name on to my crafting group!! Thanks again!
Thank you Nancy, keep practicing, it takes a few goes to get easier, each mold is different, and the caulking varies for how long to leave it I the mold, just experiment and have fun, I always had varying results, a couple of disasters, but mostly great results. Glad you are as excited as I was 💜💛💚
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! ❤
StudioSilverCreek you are most welcome 🌹🌷🌹
Thanks for sahing

TFS! I always love to see something new, they are beautiful.
Thank you very much Denise, they are lovely
Wonderful idea! TFS!
Thanks Gail
another good idear, i like it
Multumesc pentru frumos Video
This is a very interesting craft. Thanks for your very detailed video. I am not as patient as you are, as it is a long and tedious process.
Great video, I use cornflower on the deeper moulds, shake of the excess, then I don’t get so many breakages when unmolding.
Thank you for the hint Marie 💜💚💙
Your cards are beautiful ❤️
Thank you 💙
I have a lot of these molds from when I was decorating cakes with sugar Lace, Thankyou for sharing this information, now to get them out and raid the shed for the no more gaps etc and put my molds to some more use, these molds have been in storage for a while (no more sugar lacing for these) lol
Great idea, have fun
Hi, I love this video very helpful. Did you do the dehazing once they were completely dry? Thank You.
Thank you Alexandria, yes I do the dehazing when totally dry, otherwise you can end up taking the caulking off with your cloth by accident if it is still wet. much easier dry
Amazing! Thank you for sharing
Thank you Rouma
Wow! This is amazing!
What kind of glue do you use to adhere them?
Laura
Thanks aquinyc, I have been using a spray adhesive so that I get the entire back of doilies etc to stick them down.
Wow gorgeous, ty for sharing.
Thank you Luz 💚💙💜
Hi Helen, just come across this very interesting video of yours, first off, no apologies need, it’s a very informative video, I’ve recently bought a mould from Aliexpress and the light moulding paste to give this craft a try, it’s good to know you can nip to the DIY store and buy what we call bath sealant in the U.K. so will give this a go as well, thanks for the video, take care.
Regards.
Thank Elizabeth, do give it a go, just dont get the silicone type of sealer, you wont be able to get it out of your mold. Good luck 🌷🌻🌷
Love it
Great video! Tfs.
stanky6261973 thank you 💛💚💜
Magnifiques moulages
Great YT Helen. I've been using No More Gaps as an alternative as well and found that to be the best so far, as I live in Australia and don't have access to the American product xox.
Thanks Olga, I have used that too, as here in NZ we don't either. It seems to work well 💙💜💚
@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 Helen do you make your own moulds or do you buy them ,I am New hear , and I would like to know ,they are so beautiful, where I could buy them, or how to make them.
No if you look in the description box below the video I have links to Aliexpress where I bought them all. Way to intricate and fancy for me to make!
Lovely! I wonder if you have tried making your own molds as well. I'm new here and greatly admire your work. I have molding compound that I use for resin in jewelry making.
My husband and I have made a few molds with this stuff called pinkysil, for doing appliques on furniture, but not of these really fine ones.
I love your techniques! Where did u get the half curved lace @ 7:04 ...it's the one exactly to the left of your hand(in the middle)?
Hello, sorry about the delay, I thought I had replied to you a week ago, but for some reason my reply disappeared. If you have a look at the description box under the video I had left links to most of the molds I had bought from Aliexpress, the one you are after is here www.aliexpress.com/item/New-arrive-Crown-Shape-Silicone-Lace-Mold-For-Fondant-Cake-Decorating-Bakeware-Kitchen-Tools-E025/32289596461.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.246.39eb66b9lH6XoX&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_6_10065_10068_10547_319_10059_10884_317_10548_10887_10696_321_322_10084_453_10083_454_10103_10618_10307_537_536_10902,searchweb201603_58,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=0026dbf6-7bfe-4fc5-bae6-f57a90dd887b-35&algo_pvid=0026dbf6-7bfe-4fc5-bae6-f57a90dd887b
Very Nice
Brillant, thank you so much for sharing Helen. I have learnt a lot. Just wondering where do i purchase Golden light moulding paste from?
Thank you Nancy, I bought it from a local art supply shop we have here. I think Warehouse stationery have it in their art section too. 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you Helen
WOW! Thank you!
Charlotte Beseke 💛💚💜
From now on, not until I have tried and am satisfied with the content of the tuition of the video I will not put any thumbs up let alone subscribe. I have done so many likes and subscriptions that have not worked. Thank you anyway. Comments and feedback on TH-cam SHOULD be given as honest opinions not just clicking likes for the sake of it.
The video wasn’t too long at all, especially considering that you covered this craft so throughly.
Use an old credit card to spread into molds. They also sell spreaders for this purpose. You can keep things neater and use less product that goes into the molds.
Also I too-love your favorite mold, the last one shone in the video. Do you recall where you purchased it?
Diana I bought it from Aliexpress by searching silicone lace mats. 💛💚💜
Thanks I'm going to start "drilling" into their website to see if I can locate it.
It is a good one.
Beautiful! Can you use the doilies for something other than cards? I work with Polymer Clay and wondering if it can be used for texturing the clay or making jewelry? Thank you for the instructional video!
Gloria you can probably use them for lots of other things. I do vintage home decor products and was looking at using them to decoratechristmas decorations for next year. I have also used them on decorating wooden boxes that I make too.
I've used them on furniture, Christmas village houses, and I'm currently making lots(and lots) of a very wide lace motif to add to my walls.
On the ones that give you a hard time, could you coat it with a little oil or soap?
Thanks for the suggestion, I dont think 6ou 29uld manage to get the caulking to stay in the grooves if it was oiled, but it might be worth having aa go. 🎄🎅🎄
just wanted to ask if you have to haze when you are just using the caulk or also when using modelling and texture pastes as well. beautiful job, i have ordered myself lots of moulds from aliexpress.
Jake, I de haze modeling pastes as well as caulking,as I am a bit messy and it tidied them up. If you are tidy you might not need to, and I found it was easier to do it whi,e it is in the mold instead of after. My husband doesnt dehaze at all, he tidied everything with a craft knife afterwards. Have fun, it's very addictive. Unfortunately everything is taking ages from Aliexpress at the moment with the pandemic.
@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 tell me about it. i am still waiting for parcels i ordered 1st february, but I suppose with everything that is going on at the moment it is to be expected.
Thank for this lovely informative video. I read that silicon sticks to silicon and you have mentioned that. You used windows and doors frame sealent, isn't this silicon, with you it didn't stick, maybe I am confused, sorry. Did you try 100% silicon with molds? Thank you in advance for your help and advice. Best wishes
Tank you for your comment. No it isn't silicone, you are right silicone will stick in the mold. It is a caulking you have to use. A type of plaster compound, our main brand is Selleys but not sure what you will have in your country. Try a hardware store and ask for caulking that's not silicone.
This is just genius. Have a question I saw other video and they put corn starch before adding the paste and than on top of design have you tried this if so do you see any difference
Norine I haven't tried it with cornstarch, for the caulking I used I didn't need to, so not sure if it would make any difference, as I am not sure why they used it 🌹🌷🌹
I have to tell you about an easy way to clean up your mold to get the film off of the lace/doily before you remove it from the mold. CLEAR PACKING TAPE works perfect for removing that film AFTER it is completely dry. Cut a strip of tape, press down on mold and lift up. Do this to get in all spaces. I use a firm pressing and have yet to lift the piece out of the mold. After you are finished, remove the piece. You can instantly clean the mold up by doing the same process. I get all my pieces done so much more quickly. Give it a go.
Diana thank you for the tip, I will give it a go. 💛💚💜
Absolutely gorgeous I just found you and I will keep you
Thank you Bonnie, and welcome
Please don’t apologise for the length, I learnt so much from watching . I just bought a small container of acrylic stucco,that’s what they call it in Greece. And some silicon mounds and lace strips have just come so your video is perfect timing. I want to use the designs on tin cans as planters on my veranda this summer. I’ve saved large feta tins as well as smaller olive oil tins and I can’t wait to use my mould designs on them. What kind of adhesive would you suggest I use? I have E-6000 or perhaps wood glue? Thank you for taking the time to show us how it’s done. Be well.
Thank you so much, these molds would be perfect for your tins, my husband uses them on terracotta pots for our de k, so very similar, and they look great, he paints them and puts a darker colour on the old and then wipes it off so that colour stays in nooks and crannies, to show up the moldings, they look great. The skys the limit with what you can use them for
Sorry forgot to reply about the glue, E6000 should work, se use a gorilla glue, which is a double container t glue.
Are you cleaning the moulds after they are dry or while they are drying???
Hi, I am cleaning it once it has dried out, doesn't have to be completely, but you need the top surface to be dry, because if you do the rubbing/cleaning, you will just wipe out the caulking if it is still wet.
Is the modelling paste dry when you clean up the mould with alcohol?
Yes it is, otherwise if it is still wet, you end up wiping too much away.
I love this
Thank you Toni 🌹🌻🌹
I just started a channel, it's called " Crafting and stuff With Toni" I some hauls, my tutorials will appear in march.
I want to try and make some. I’m not sure what I’d use them for though.
dgmlmax thank you for commenting, I use them on cards where I would normally put a daily, or use them on decorating boxes that I make. 💛💚💜
Nice! So which product was your favorite, or preference?
I think I like the sellers no more gaps, it seems stronger, when it is older.
Do you do the dehazing while the paste is still wet or wait until it's dry. Thanks
Thank you Tammy, you do it once it's dry otherwise you end up wiping out all the filler or paste you have put in, as they are quite shallow. Wait until they are totally dry.
Have used air dry clay which us not flexible, but how do the part silicone ones glue on??
Hi Candace. Yes I have used airdry clay, and they are great for some things but not the really fine lacy ones, you just can't get it to stay in the tiny areas of these finer ones. Also the problem with airdry clay is they shrink quite a bit as they dry out, and you can loose some of the detail. To glue the filler ones on (its not silicone, that doesn't work in silicone molds) I use an adhesive spray or use my fine nozzle glue bottle and put the tiniest smear of glue on the back in some strategic areas.
Omg I'm in love with this, wish I knew where to get the materials at a good price where I'm from 😣
BrItZeeEee thank you, I just get it from a local hardware department store or local stationery store, it goes a long way
Thank you 💜💛💚
TYFS
what do you use to adhere the silicone lace to paper crafting projects?
Hi Diane, I use a spray on adhesive that I got from a hardware store, although it is available from some art and craft stores too, just seems to be cheaper at hardware stores. 💛💚💙
How long do you have to wait before cleaning up the hazing
Ruth, you need to wait until it is dry, as if you try and clean it up while wet, you will mess up the area that you want for your mold,
Just found this video. How do you attach them to cards, special glue or normal?
Just normal, any glue that I would stick embellishments on with Janet 💙💛💜
@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 Thank you for your reply, just noticed that video was from 4 years ago🥴. I have subscribed now
The Dap Works very well The only thing if there is a chance of moisture you should put a fixative over it but other than that it works great and it’s cheap
Thank you Joan, we can't get Dap here in New Zealand. I don't worry sealing it on a card, but if I use them on a home decor product, they are usually painted over or sealed with spray 🦋 varnish
Great to hear, we cant get dap here, so I had to find an alternative. 💛💚💜
THAT IS GREAT . I THINK YOU HAVE SOLVED PROBLEM FOR ME
Thank you, glad it helped 💚💜💛
Just lovely, thank you, oh dear does this mean I'll have another addiction !! I'm wondering tho,is there an advantage to making these rather than using paper dies that look lovely on the cards
Yvonne, it's just another way of making embellishments, and if you would rather stick to dies then do so, I just love trying new things and thought I would show what I had discovered in case others wanted to have a go. You are right, it's just one more thing to have to buy stuff for. I also do vintage and shabby chic home decor products and thought it would be useful for that too
Oh dear, Ive already looked at Aliexpress and the molds are lovely and some are so cheap, I'm trying to control myself !!! Thought I'd show you one of my cards. I'm a kiwi girl too
_lh3.googleusercontent.com/wKg05_Vd4MdDXaB2gXVljtaIrSl1vpdsK2TUzg3ns8QDXAGM6TieTNKwyoypEu8VTAvynmoRpg_
It's nice to meet another kiwi here Yvonne, sorry I couldn't get that link to work, but would love to see your card.
Has 47CMC shut down their channel? Cannot find the videos anymore?
Oh no! yes it does look as though she has, I can't find her in my subscription list, and my links don't work, thanks for the 'heads up', thats a shame, as she had some really great content.
Do you have to wait 24 hours for the caulk to dry and take out of the fondant mold?
Hi Cathey, it really depends on the caulk you are using, the one I was using has a bit of shrinkage, so I usually have to do a second skim over and then wait for that to dry, so it is usually about that long to totally dry. Must try a little corner and see if it is going to come out ok, otherwise leave it a little longer. If it is dry enough to remove, then go ahead, if it isn't dry enough it will either tear, or fall apart. Just trial and error I'm afraid. I tend to do it , if in the mornings, then go off to work, or if it's in the evening, then I leave it until the next morning.
Thank you. I did end up waiting 24 hours just in case. They turned out beautifully except one that was super detailed. I can use bits of it, but the smaller ones come out awesome. Thank you.
Hi is the GOLDEN light modelling paste edible?
Definately not, it's an artist medium!
@@handcraftedbyhelen1963 oh no!
