2 Peel Them Off
Once the plastic hardens, carefully peel the shapes off.

Place the Doodled shapes on aluminium foil or baking paper. Bake in the oven at 180°c or until Doodled surface smoothens. Leave to cool, then carefully remove the pieces.
4 Bend & Mend
One by one, heat each piece up with a hair dryer, then bend the petals inward to create natural orchid shapes. Doodle to attach the orchid centers to the petals.
5 Add The Stems
Snip off a third of a green plastic strand, then Doodle to attach it onto the flower. Repeat for all the flowers. Take a new strand of green plastic, and Doodle to attach the flowers with the stems onto it, to create one complete orchid.
6 Leaf The Best To Last
Use the stencil to make the leaves, peel off once hardened. Use the hairdryer to heat the leaves and bend them, then attach the leaves to the stem.
