Abstract: A method for applying molded silicone design elements onto substrates is provided. The apparatus and method of the present invention use a cold-mold injection molding process to apply molded silicone design elements onto substrates, including delicate substrates such as fabrics and paper. A cold-mold injection molding process is used to avoid tearing, burning or otherwise damaging the substrates. The molded silicone design elements are preferably multi-colored and three-dimensional. The design elements may include foreground elements and background elements of varying colors and dimensions, which together form an overall artistic design in relief. The molded silicone design elements may also be textured.
