Lightly dust a cutting board with powdered sugar.
Using your hands, knead the red fondant until it is soft and easy to mold.
Take the paintbrush and dip it into powdered sugar.
Place the silicone mat onto the cutting board, and using the paintbrush, lightly dust the small bow mold. This helps keep the fondant from sticking to the mold.
Pinch off about 1 ½ tsp of red fondant and push it into the bow mold.
Allow it to set for 5 mins before carefully removing it from the mold.
Place onto the cutting board and continue making 11 more bows.
Allow the bows to sit overnight.
Dust the cutting board again with a little bit of powdered sugar.
Knead the black fondant until it is soft and easy to roll out.
Once you roll the fondant out to ¼ in thickness and using the circle fondant cutter, cut out 24 circles and place them aside to sit out overnight.
