Spring Garden IOD Mould 6″x10″

Description

Spring Garden IOD mould is part of the new IOD 2026 Spring release.

The 6×10” Spring Garden Mould is inspired by classic cabbage-leaf crockery, complete with the intentional veining that makes those pieces so beautiful in glaze or paint. 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!).

The 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.

What are IOD Moulds?

IOD Moulds are the most beautifully designed, deeply detailed moulds on the market. They 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, jewelry, and more!

You can use IOD moulds with a bazillion different mediums ( yes, we counted.), transforming your projects into masterpieces with ease!

Different Mediums For the Spring Garden IOD Mould

IOD 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 favorites. 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 favorite 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.

On releases:
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.
