Santa's Sleigh Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Santa’s Sleigh is a classical interpretation of vintage, nostalgic Christmas decor that takes us back to our childhood. The sleigh casting emulates nordic style and would be darling around the border of a chalkboard Christmas sign used to display a wish list for Santa. A timeless addition to your holiday repertoire, the versatility in this set with Santa’s sleigh, presents, and reindeer will have your mind racing with holiday project ideas!

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

One single 5” x 7” mould

IOD Moulds Project Ideas:

• Use the Letterpress stamp and IOD Erasable Chalk Paint for the word art on a black chalkboard sign. Add Santa’s sleigh at the bottom and build it up with the reindeer and presents to create a festive frame. 

• Create two piece ornaments with reindeer and presents dangling from Santa’s sleigh. 

• Everyone loves s’mores kits and sugar cookies during the holidays. Santa’s Sleigh is the perfect mould for festive chocolates and sugar cookies.

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.
