Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Cooking oil, Plastic container, Kitchen roll, Scale
And this is how it works:
1

Step 1

Grease the mould. Fill the plastic container with about 110 g of water and then gradually add approx. 1100 g of the creative-cement. Stir the mixture until an uniform and castable compound is obtained.
2

Step 2

Pour the mixture slowly into the prepared mould. Make sure you don’t pour up to the top of the mould! Tap slightly against the mould several times with your fingers, so that potential air bubbles can escape upwards. Let it dry out overnight. The next day, you can remove the flower from the mould by turning the casting mould over and by pressing slightly several times with the palm of your hand against the casting mould until the flower becomes entirely detached from the mould. If necessary, tap slightly the casting mould onto a soft surface.

Step 3

Allow the flower to harden well. At best for several days. For the designing, take some white Chalky Finish paint and paint the entire edge of the flower. Let it dry well out.

Step 4

Afterwards, put the stencil with the chosen text on the flower. Press the stencil well on and stencil the text by means of the white Chalky Finish paint and a brush, then remove the stencil and let it dry out.
