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!).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIOD Décor Moulds can be used with many different mediums.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasting resins:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleasing your casting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement: 6″ x 10″\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iron Orchid Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48568932630752,"sku":"IOD-MOU-SPG","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0494\/2689\/0916\/files\/SpringGarden.png?v=1770249819","url":"https:\/\/banksiabloomstudio.com.au\/products\/iron-orchid-designs-spring-garden-decor-mould","provider":"Banksia Bloom Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
