Christmas Tapers IOD Mould *NEW* *Pre-Order*

*Please note that the Christmas Tapers mould is a pre-order and our order is due to arrive mid-October. As soon as we have it, you will be notified that it is ready to be picked up or shipped.*

Christmas Tapers is a limited-release mould

 

Introducing Christmas Tapers, a nod to the timeless appeal of Nordic-style and traditional Christmas motifs. Use this mould for a Christmas bangle or festive chocolates and cookies (yes, our moulds are food safe, just don’t forget to set aside a set of moulds for your baked goods that are separate from your craft moulds. No one likes clay in their cookies! 😉).

Make multiples of the reindeer to build up a team to pull Santa’s sleigh and add ribbon for the reins.

IOD MOULDS

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


DIFFERENT MEDIUMS.

IOD Moulds can be used with many different mediums. We will cover the two most common here. Every medium has its own characteristics, challenges, and virtues.

Air dry clay, or paper clay: 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. Our favorite way to apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist, and adhere to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it doesn’t slide.

Casting resins: There are some great pourable resins available. 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.

On releases: 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.
