Push moulds are a
flexible material that you can fill with a variety of substances. These are
varying easy to use and produce a dramatic effect. There are a large number of
manufactures, but I prefer Kraft Lady’s because of their fabulous detail and
release agent built in. Hot glue is a quick and easy product to fill the moulds
with, and giving your moulds a light brushing with Pearl Ex adds a great
sparkle.
General Instructions:
1.
Brush your mould with one or more colors of Pearl Ex; this will stick to
the sides of the mould. Blow out any extra powder.
2.
Fill the mould with hot glue using the tip of the glue gun to push the
glue into the detail.
3.
Flatten the backside of the embellishment by pressing another mould on
top of hot glue.
4.
Let cool and your embellishment pops right out of the mould. Trim off any
extra glue.
