How To Use Metal Clay Moulds
It's so easy! Simply press metal clay into the mould and allow to dry before carefully popping it out and firing with a gas torch or kiln.
Keep in mind for your designs that the metal clay will shrink by around 10% during firing.
How To Create A Hole
If you want to create a pendant or a pair of earrings, you may wish to put a hole in your metal clay piece before firing it. You can do this by simply using a cocktail straw and neatening the edge using sandpaper when it's dried.
A hole is needed so you can attach a jump ring so you can then attach it to a chain to make a necklace or an earwire to make an earring.

Use Texture Plates For Metal Clay
These texture plates are perfect for creating interesting textures and patterns in your metal clay designs.
To use these plates, simply roll your clay to your desired thickness, lightly coat the plates with olive oil to avoid sticking. You can then lay the texture sheet on top of the clay and apply gentle pressure with a roller over the sheet. When you have the desired texture, gently lift the sheet from one corner until it lifts off of the clay.
