Do not buy- plastic mold won't remove from bowls

I'm a super artist and smart, I've been crafting my whole life My group of friends wanted to throw a Zoom Craft Night together - something easy and fun . We all agreed with this project. This was easy to do and relatively quick/easy. However, the problem was removing the shell from this plastic mold after the shells were done and dried. EVERYONE had a problem with it and NONE of us were able to remove the mold from any of our bowls. We followed all the instructions carefully and couldn't complete the uninstall. The problem is with the plastic mold. It is not flexible enough to be removed and the glue will be absorbed by the mold. Possible solutions for the manufacturer-1. Provide heavier thread/yarn to make the shells to keep the glue from seeping in. 2. Provide a silicone mold instead of a plastic mold. Result: I couldn't find a way to separate the bowl from the plastic mold so I trimmed the edge of the plastic mold to see if it would look good. It looked good, but then sharp plastic was visible around the edges. I ended up throwing them away. Useless. Don't buy until the product improves. Note: I was a little annoyed that the bowls are so small, but the dimensions in the description were correct. So I knew before I bought them that they would run small and therefore their size didn't affect my rating.
