- If you are using polymer clay, you can dust the mould with the food starch. Ensure that any excess is shaken off with a soft brush. Next, take the well kneaded clay and shape it into a cone with clean hands. Gently press the tip of the cone into the nose of the mould, trying to fill all the cavities. To prevent the face from looking "bloated", gently knead the mould from the sides. If the copy has ears or a long nose, I recommend putting it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to release the copy without damaging the protruding parts. Place the released copy on a flat surface until completely thawed. Then follow the baking instructions that can be found on the polymer clay packaging.
- If you are using air-dry clay, you can apply a thin layer of baby oil or Vaseline to the mould and knead the clay well. If the clay is not malleable, you can spray it with a small amount of water and try to knead it again. Next, shape the clay into a cone and follow the same steps as you would for polymer clay.
- Before you bake the copy, or while it is still raw, you can adjust the expression by opening or closing the mouth, eyes, or ears (if the character of the toy requires it).
- You may want to bake the copy inside a baking sleeve instead of releasing it if you are using polymer clay, or wait until the copy is completely dry in case you are using the air-dry clay. Be careful, however, to only do this if you are sure that the clay has been shaped without any wrinkles.

- Since the moulds are easily charged with static electricity and attract dust, It is therefore essential to make sure that the moulds are properly washed before the first use.
- To prevent any damage, store the moulds in a dry, clean place or in a container.
- Avoid using sharp objects when working with the silicone moulds, as as they may accidentally deform the moulds.
- Do not leave the moulds in the freezer for more than 4 hours, especially if you are using a powerful freezer to prevent them from spoilage.
- It is important to avoid exposing the silicone mould to temperatures above 200ºC
