Mould | 6" × 10"
Inspired by the architectural facades of historic homes, Old Colchester Road features larger building fronts designed to coordinate beautifully with Charlbury Lane. With varied rooflines, increased height, and distinctive architectural details, this mould makes it easy to create more dynamic village scenes with layered skylines, realistic depth, and charming character.
Perfect for holiday villages, shadow boxes, and custom displays, Old Colchester Road expands your creative possibilities while blending seamlessly with your existing village elements. Mix and match the different facades to build unique streetscapes filled with personality and architectural variety.
And don’t limit this collection to Christmas villages—these versatile designs are perfect for year-round creativity. Create charming cottage scenes, whimsical displays, or even a delightfully spooky haunted house for Halloween!
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.
