3) Put them on top of the clay; push them down and cut out the shapes.
4) Lay them on top of newspaper, cover them newspaper and a large flat piece of wood, to stop them warping while drying.
5) When they are leather hard they can be lifted up and with a damp piece of foam rubber, all the rough parts can be smoothed down.
