Iron Orchid Designs - Saint Nick Decor Mould

LIMITED EDITION

SAINT NICK

We’re so giddy to introduce the joyful Saint Nick, a heartwarming addition to your holiday collection. That twinkle in his eye says it all. He’s so full of character and the best kind of Christmas cheer! 🎅🏻

Saint Nick feels instantly familiar and sweet, like the Santa from your favorite childhood storybook. His jolly details make a big impact, whether you’re crafting holiday signage or baking a delicious sugar cookie for an ornament-making party.

He makes a joyful focal point on an IOD Arched Wood Blank or inside a vintage serving tray to prop up on the kitchen counter. Pair him with calligraphy from Figgy & Flourish to stamp festive sayings like Season’s Greetings or Christmas Blessings on wall art. However you use him, Saint Nick welcomes playful and nostalgic charm that’s unmistakably classic.

He comes in a 5"×7" deep format, giving you that extra depth and detail.

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.
