These elements can be used to create a variety of seasonal projects like fall wreaths, Thanksgiving décor, or cozy home accents.
Mediums: The mould is designed to work with IOD Air Dry Clay and Amazing Casting Resin.
Air Dry Clay: Offers a vintage, distressed look as it naturally shrinks and cracks. Best used for creating rustic pieces that add character to your décor.
Casting Resin: Ideal for projects requiring consistent results with no shrinkage or warping, creating smooth, perfect casts. It’s great for those who need a reliable medium for detailed pieces.
Food Safe: Made from food-safe materials, this mould can also be used to create baked goods, soaps, and even jewelry. Just be sure to keep separate sets for crafting and food use.
How to Use:
Choose Your Medium: Select either Air Dry Clay for a rustic, vintage effect or Casting Resin for a flawless, consistent result.
Prepare Your Mould: For clay, it’s best to remove the pieces from the mould while they’re still moist for the best adherence to your project. For resin, pour into the mould and let it set as per the resin's instructions.
Adhere to Surface: Once your pieces are set, use appropriate adhesive to attach them to your project. For vertical surfaces, a piece of low-tack tape can help keep the pieces in place until the adhesive dries.
Customize Your Creations: Use these moulded pieces to embellish a variety of projects:
Furniture: Add oak leaves and acorns as detailed accents to fall-themed furniture pieces.
DIY Décor: Create charming fall wreaths, table settings, or personalized frames for your seasonal photos.
Gifts: Make unique, handcrafted gifts like jewelry, soap, or even customized planters.
Tips for Success:
Avoid Shrinking: If you’re using Air Dry Clay, note that some shrinking, cracking, and warping is typical, especially during the drying process. This gives a more authentic, aged look, but if you prefer a consistent finish, opt for resin instead.
Use Cornstarch for Release: If your clay is sticking to the mould, a light dusting of cornstarch or arrowroot powder can help the pieces come out more easily.
