Cornucopias
Mould | 6" × 10"
Inspired by a vintage cornucopia moulding and thoughtfully reimagined with additional details, Cornucopias celebrates the beauty of harvest, abundance, and gathering together. Featuring rich basket-weave textures, elegant flourishes, pomegranates, mums, pumpkins, and coordinating botanicals, this mould creates beautiful arrangements perfect for autumn décor, Thanksgiving centerpieces, and seasonal displays.
The two cornucopia designs are created to beautifully frame and complement your arrangements while maintaining their own unique character rather than being exact mirror images. Perfect for signs, centerpieces, and home décor, Cornucopias transitions effortlessly from fall into the Christmas season.
The additional pomegranate elements can also be used separately, offering even more creative possibilities for custom designs that capture the warmth, beauty, and generosity of the season.
Food safe. The IOD 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, jewelry, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.
DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. 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 Air Dry 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.
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.
