1. Get the pattern from here: [SVG] [PDF] (The imperial emblem is a regular hexagon, so I cut the original emblem into 12 pieces and removed 3-4 degrees from each to create the final pattern.).
2. Print the pattern onto paper (see step 4) and also onto a self-adhesive label. Adhere the label onto a piece of 0.35mm white latex (top left).
3. Cut the emblem along the outline using a cutter or scissors (top right). Be patient and precise ;-)
4. When finished cutting (bottom left) attach the label side of the emblem to the paper print using some paper glue. This avoids shifting when the emblem is glued to the black latex (bottom right). Note: The imperial emblem is symetric, so the paper print does not need to be mirrored.
6. Cut along the outer edge leaving a small black border of 1-2mm (bottom left).
7. Finally cut from the center of the emblem along one edge of the white part and glue the overlapping black behind the emblem to create the cone form.
8. Wash, oil and enjoy the finished pasties (bottom right).
When you are done, send a photo of your pasties to latex@zitronenroellchen.com so we can show our tribute to the dark side. Go MacKenzie!
Here are some action shots.
