I have a cute bunny mold and my friend borrowed it to make easter place cards when she had many coming to dinner ..they came out so cute..good idea

Absolutely brilliant idea :thumbup: :thumbup:

I like your craft, beautiful.

Think a thin layer of gesso would help to keep the paint from running?

Have you ever tried chalk to add color? Like adding it with a small stiff brush... or eye shadow...

yes a little and it was ok..maybe just not one of my talents lol

Very clever!!!! What a neat project.

All these great ideas got me thinking about using unbleached (mocha colored) paper towel from the health food store to use with gingerbread molds.... hmm.... I always get excited about a new craft!

Try it and be sure to show us!

You can also use soft chalks and small brushes to add color, but they are beautiful the way they are.

Thanks for sharing, can think of many options to use this for can't wait to give it a go

Awsome idea, way to go!

Thank you so much for sharing - I've never heard of this but it is so cute

Very clever and sooooo cute! Thank you for sharing!

yes and so easy...i have a good collection of the clay cookie molds...used to play with them a lot years ago making the cast paper..

I too have alot of these cookie molds and smaller medallion molds....that I had used to cast paper....Made cards and gift tags...picture collages..frames....etc....For the paper I used anything I could think of......colored junk mail.....brown paper bags mixed with sawdust worked well for the bear molds.....toilet paper...tissue paper.. phone book paper....To the pulp I added dried flowers...herbs....confetti...glitter....food coloring etc... After the molded paper was dry.....accented key features with water-color paints... colored chalks........I've even casted fabric.....Besides the above molds...I've also used antique pie tins( embossed tins with beautiful designs on them).....glass plates(embossed designs usually on the back)...
Experiment....Have fun with it!

I'm sorry.....the only thing I have are the molds...and I thought about selling those because I haven't used them in years......I just thought I'd post to give people some ideas of different materials they could use...
I've done many different crafts and hobbies over the years....and still do.. Some I return to now and then.......But with all of them....seldom were pictures taken.....and they were usually made for family and friends...
