    Default Urgent help needed....making repeat shapes from art clay.

    Hi all,
    I need advice urgently! I have an order for 30 lightening bolt shaped charms, I have made these in the past individually using a mold I made with the blue and white putty stuff. However for 30 this is proving to be 1/time consuming and mainly 2/ not consistent. What I think I need is a tiny shaped cutter, like a cookie cutter sort of thing but in the specific shape I need.
    This is the only way I can think of to get so many to look fairly similar....but no idea how to make one of where to find somewhere that can ake one quickly......

    I would really appreciate any advice anyone can offer.....
    Lesley.

    I would make one from brass or copper sheet - just like making a bezel, but shaped.

    Lightening bolts have a sinister history. Do you know what they are for?

    Right, I can assure you that my little charms are lightening bolts and look nothing like, or have any connections to these symbols!
