IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: Please note that a small and medium vaiation of each species was added on the 31/01/2025. If you purchased the original collection before this date they were size "large" so you would need to buy the small and medium cutters to make a full set.

Moths & Butterflies - Species Collections
1) Roll clay out to approximately 2.5-3mm thick (1st/2nd thickest setting on most pasta machines) and then roll it onto your cutting tile so it is well adhered.
2) Dip the cutting side of the cutter into a damp soapy sponge a couple of times (you can also dust the clay or cutter with cornflour for the same effect).
3) Press the cutter down firmly then pull straight up. You can also use the "double cut" method where you press the cutter in a little way, pull it off, then cut again over the top.
4) Bake your pieces and decorate as you wish. Cut onto the same tile you bake with to avoid distorting tricky shapes.
