Bibelots Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Meet Bibelots, an intentionally bare mould designed to be the base for layering up holiday creations like ornaments and labels. This mould will be your go-to while crafting darling, personalized gifts that your friends and family will cherish for years. Each casting differs from the next, offering detailed shapes that emulate a classical, vintage Christmas aesthetic. 

All of the designs in this mould are symmetrical, making it perfect for a variety of layouts, such as back-to-back ornaments, but works equally well on flat surfaces, such as door hangers and signage.

IOD Moulds Project Ideas:

• Add bibelots to your baked goods moulds for holiday sugar cookies.  

• Cast your mould with clear resin and sandwich beautiful imagery between two sides of the ornament to hang on the tree! You can use all of the cavities at once and batch them for a tree full!

• Adorn the oval mould with small elements from our holiday transfers.

• Drill a tiny hole to hang little crystals or beads from the bottom of these.

Pair With:

Moulding mediums for IOD Moulds

IOD Moulds can be used with many different mediums. 

IOD moulds are food safe.

Every medium has its own characteristics, challenges, and virtues. For 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.

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.
