Waaaaaaay back in January, I was in Anaheim, CA – wandering the floor of the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show. For a girl like me, the CHA Trade Show is the ultimate test of my CADD – Crafter’s Attention Deficit Disorder. Every inch of the place is full of new products and fun make & takes. I came away from the show with a list of favorites that I talked about in THIS post.
Among my list of “Best in Show” were the Plaid Crafts Mod Melts – which I named “Best Tool You Never Knew You Needed” and I totally stand by that title, because this stuff is amazeballs.
Mod Melts  and Mod Molds are created by the same lovely genius people who create Mod Podge and they will be exclusively available at Michael’s Craft Stores in late June…but I’m here to give you a little sneaky peek at how they work! Let’s get started!
{1} Place a Mod Melts stick into your glue gun and allow it to heat up.
{2} Squeeze out the Mod Melts just as you would hot glue. Fill the mold and allow to rest for five minutes…yes…five minutes! That’s all it takes!
{3} Paint your finished shaped with acrylic paint in your choice of color. I found that a sponge brush worked best for this. Use a dabbing motion with the brush. This will ensure that paint gets into all the little crevices of the shape.
Now it’s time to show you how I used my handmade cabochons. Well, first I just sorta stared at them and admired how pretty they were in a pile together. Feel free to do the same. Once you’ve stopped ogling your creations, there are plenty of ways that you can use them to dress up even the simplest of projects – like this little stationery set I created.
To create the box for this set, I used THIS template, which is easy to follow and great for handmade or store bought cards.

Of course I already purchased my mold and resin sticks! Here you go encouraging me to buy the rest of the line. Thanks Amber! 😉 I loved this set and that box is so versatile! Good googalie moogalie! (That’s French!)
I just bought some molds and I’ve tried FIMO clay. It was fun and easy to make! The Mod Podge glue sticks look interesting too!
I wonder if this would work with the glue sticks as they go solid pretty quickly – you are SOOOOO inspiring.
What an amazing idea!
Can’t wait to try this.

you have outdone yourself. Gorgeous gift idea. ps thanks for the boy stationary ideas yesterday. Much appreciated
Oh I love this post! I will be watching for the supplies to try this. Could you also make jewelry with these? Poke a hole for a chain or put earring studs in instead of brads? Would it irritate the skin?
You make me want to run right out and buy all of this! On my way to Michaels!
Very pretty Amber. I have a question. I notice on the bottom pick of all the flowers on a plate, they seam to all have a crease running across them in the middle. What is that?
Hey Dana…those creases are just part of the design of the flower, where the petals meet. I think they are more noticeable in the photo because of the angle but otherwise it’s not something you’d notice.
ok……gotcha Amber. Thanks for the info and I do love them……..and your blog.
absolutely fabulous!! I’m going to Michaels to see if they have this yet!
Hugs,

Thanks for the great tutorial. I’m definitely going to have to try this!
Would love to try the mod melts – I have made some cabochons using sculpy and fimo clay, but I much prefer the idea of mod melts.
that’s awesome! i will definitely be scouting my local michaels for these!!!
These are so pretty. I just saw the molds & mod melts at Michael’s yesterday, but wasn’t quite sure how they worked. Now I will be running back w/a coupon. Thanks so much.
Ummmm, I need this. Thanks for enabling!!
I love what you did with your melts! The paint turned out great and they look so fabulous with your stationary!
Loveeeeeeee it.. thanks for sharing!
This is so lovely. Thanks for the tip about the brad! I wasn’t sure how to use these for jewelry.
