Spring Garden Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs
One Single 6" x 10" Mould
Spring Garden Mould:
The 6x10” Spring Garden Mould is inspired by classic cabbage-leaf crockery, complete with the intentional veining that makes those pieces so beautiful in glaze or paint. The cabbage leaf was the starting point for this set, and with extra space in the mould, we added some favorite spring garden vegetables—plus a little snail companion (just for funsies!).
Project ideas for Spring Garden Mould:
The cabbage leaf casts beautifully and can be shaped into a small trinket dish or used as part of spring tablescaping. The elements can also be cut apart and built up for signage, layered projects, or paired with the bunnies from Les Lapin for a full spring scene. From carrots that would make an adorable Easter garland to standalone vegetable motifs, this set celebrates the charm of spring garden finds in a versatile, easy-to-use format we know our makers will adore.

IOD Moulds can be used with a range of mediums and are FOOD SAFE.
For upcycling furniture and craft projects we recommend:
Air Dry or Paper Clay:
IOD paper clay is an air dry medium. 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. You can apply moulded pieces by removing them from the mould while still moist, and
adhering them 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.
You can also try Jovi Air Dry White Modelling Clay.
Casting Resin:
We recommend Amazing Casting Resin
Resin has 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.
