Directions for use
Before use, make sure the mould is clean and completely dry. Prepare the selected material and knead it thoroughly until smooth, elastic and easy to model.
Place a small quantity of material into the fine veins, outer edges and stem of the selected leaf first. Press carefully to fill all narrow and embossed areas.
Add the remaining material and distribute it evenly throughout the shape. Remove the excess from the back to create a clean and flat base.
When necessary, allow the material to firm slightly or chill the mould briefly. Carefully flex the silicone and release the finished leaf gradually, beginning with the wider section.
Do not pull directly on the thin stem or outer edges. After removal, allow the element to dry on a flat or slightly curved surface depending on the desired final effect.
Practical tips
- Use well-kneaded and elastic modelling material.
- Fill the veins, stem and thinnest edges first.
- Press the material gradually to avoid air pockets.
- Create the two leaves separately for a more precise result.
- Do not overfill the cavities if a clean and flat back is required.
- When using very soft paste, chill the mould briefly before release.
- Release the leaf gradually by flexing the silicone around it.
- Do not pull directly on the long, thin stem.
- For a natural shape, allow the leaf to dry over a slightly curved support.
- Combine both sizes to create visual depth.
- The darker areas inside the mould indicate greater depth and create the higher parts of the finished positive relief.
Colouring ideas
- Rich green for a classic tropical appearance.
- Light green and lime for a fresh, young botanical arrangement.
- Mint and sage for a delicate boho and botanical decoration.
- Dark green and gold for a luxurious and formal effect.
- White and pearl for modern wedding arrangements.
- Gold for decorative and festive accents.
- Pink and green for tropical floral themes.
- Pastel shades for delicate children’s and summer cakes.
Product benefits
The mould makes it possible to create two detailed botanical shapes without manually forming every vein and fold. This saves time and supports an even, professional-looking result.
The different sizes allow the leaves to be used together, with the larger leaf creating the main accent and the smaller one adding balance and variety.
The embossed vein structure may be highlighted with powder, pearl or metallic colours. This adds depth and gives the surface a more expressive appearance.
The flexibility of the silicone supports careful release while preserving the fine veins, outlines and elongated stems.
Cleaning and storage
- Wash carefully with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
- Do not use abrasive sponges, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.
- Clean all narrow veins, recessed and embossed areas thoroughly.
- Allow the mould to dry completely before storage.
- Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the mould.
- Do not store it folded or rolled for extended periods.
- Keep moulds used for food and non-food materials separate.
