Happy Claying,
I have these forms. Tiny Pandora bracelets are my fav to make. I leave mine on the form to bake so they don’t get distorted. Will just pop off after cooling.
I leave mine on the form sometimes too. I guess it would largely depend on the style of bracelet you are making. Thanks for the reminder and the tip Jo!
I just got this bracelet making set. It is fantastic! For anyone on the fence, it is so worth the money. I have just started to play with them. They are top quality and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
