Apparatus for forming a decorative impression in a moldable material

An apparatus for forming an impression in a surface of a moldable material, comprising:

• a) a multi-layer flexible base including first, second and third layers;
• b) said first, second and third layers each having an upper and a lower surface, said second layer being positioned intermediate said first and third layers;
• c) said lower surface of said third layer has a pre-determined pattern formed therein for forming a corresponding impression in a moldable material;
• d) at least one closed loop strap being operably associated with said base for permitting said base to be readily transported from one location to another;
• e) said closed loop strap includes first and second segments, said first segment being disposed in said base and said second segment being removed therefrom;
• and
• f) said first and second layers each having a substantially triangularly shaped raised portion adjacent said closed loop strap to secure said strap to said base.
