Step One<br />

Dust a nonstick work area with cornstarch. (I find<br />

it most useful to use a stocking and tie a knot in<br />

the top. This will give you a much finer dusting).<br />

Kneed a small amount of gum paste in your hands<br />

until flexible and smooth.<br />

(Keep covered when not in use.)<br />

Step Two<br />

Using your rolling pin, roll out the gum past paper<br />

thin, about the thickness of a dime.<br />

Step Three<br />

Dust your lace mold with the corn starch, and tap<br />

out the extra. Lay the rolled out gum paste over the<br />

mold and lightly press to make an indention. Using<br />

your needle tool cut out the shape and remove the<br />

excess. Place the paste back into the mold and firmly<br />

press into the mold to insure proper molding. Turn<br />

over and carefully remove your molded lace. Use the<br />

needle tool to help remove the lace from the mold so<br />

that the lace is not stretched.<br />
