Iron Orchid Designs - Conservatory Labels Decor Mould

6” x 10”   

Introducing the Conservatory Labels Mould, redesigned to be slimmer than our previous versions for effortless application on various surfaces. This mould excels in creating detailed, dimensional labels that stand out in academia-inspired projects, shadow boxes, and nature displays. Its versatility crosses styles, from the refined look of traditional decor to the cozy charm of farmhouse aesthetics.

Ideal for personalizing flower pots, canisters, frames, and other items, the Conservatory Label Mould is an essential must-have for vintage-themed projects. Combine it with our Apothecary Stamp to add text to your labels; they were designed to work together seamlessly.

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.

Air dry clay, or paper clay: 

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.
