Belsnickel
Mould | 6” x 10”
Inspired by antique Belsnickel figures, Belsnickel celebrates the rich traditions of Germany with our own darling folk art spin. Each figure features a hand-carved, woodcut-inspired texture that comes beautifully to life with glaze techniques, highlighting the beautiful carved detail.
Perfect for ornaments, holiday décor, this mould also includes three coordinating signs that can be used on their own or alongside the figures. Display them on our IOD Wood Block Stands, incorporate them into wall art, or create meaningful holiday displays filled with nostalgic folk styling. Belsnickel is a unique seasonal collectible with enduring appeal that you'll treasure for years to come. (If you do decide to Google Belsnickel (which we don’t recommend)… just know he’s a bit grumpier than Santa. Our versions have already had their morning coffee 🤭)
The IOD Décor 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, jewellery, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.
Product Information:
IOD Décor 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.
IOD paper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favourites. 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 favourite 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.
Releasing your casting:
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.
Measurement: 6″ x 10″
