In an attempt to make flower pins inspired by Anthropologie, I placed a candy mold in the oven. Not heat resistant, I learned. Follow my logic here…
I was first put UV setting resin in the mold, mixed with colored liquid polymer clay to tint. I put the mold in the sun for the normal 15 minutes and it was still liquid. I deduced that the liquid clay component was the problem, and a good solution would be to heat set it per the label. 10 minutes and a funny smell later, well, you can see it.
The good news is that upon first glance at my molten mold, I was stoked to have a great photo for Craft Fail. Way to turn mishaps into opportunities to laugh at ourselves with our fellow craft warriors!

Oooo! Teenage Mutant Ninja Waffle!
Love it. Reminds me of the time that I put my stuffed scrod in the toaster oven (in a plastic container!) Epic cooking fail. Smelled great but it was in a pool of melted plastic.
