  • I use regular Wafer Paper, which is 0.27mm. You can find my recommendations here.
  • Melt compound chocolate (candy melts) in a microwave for 1 minute at 50% power.
  • Mix melted chocolate until there are no lumps. 
  • If needed, melt for additional 10-30 seconds. 
  • Add a few drops of vegetable oil and mix well. 
  • Put your stencil on wafer paper and hold it in place. I used this stencil. 
  • Add chocolate and spread with an offset spatula to get an even thickness.  
  • Gently peel the stencil off and let the chocolate harden. 
  • Then it is dry to touch, you can shape your wafer paper into any design!
