IOD Frames Mould 2

The IOD Décor Moulds are made from food safe materials (do not use the same set for food and crafts). You can transform and create baked goods, furniture, soaps, jewelry, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain.

DIFFERENT MEDIUMS for the IOD Moulds

IOD Décor Moulds can be used with many different mediums however every medium has its own characteristics, challenges, and virtues.

IOD paper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favorites. Like most paper pulp based air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look.

I like to apply moulded pieces soon after I remove them from the mould while still moist. Adhering them to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. If you are adhering to a vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it doesn’t slide.

Using Resins

We recommend Amazing Casting Resin however there are some great pourable resins available too. These have completely different qualities than the paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the mould before it’s completely hardened.

You will find a plethora of ways to use both of the detailed shapes in the IOD Frames Mould 2

A release is a powder you can brush on the mould to insure the casting comes out easily.  We find that most of the time a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without the use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material sticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.
