Tulips
Perfect for spring, this beautiful 6x10” Tulip Mould was inspired by an 1838 pencil sketch sourced from Paris. We designed the tulips to work as a full bouquet or as individual blooms, with large bloom heads that can stand alone and stems that are easy to extend in your projects.
The petals have an organic sense of movement drawn from the vintage reference, and the leaves feature the detailed veining and natural curl you expect from our IOD moulds. With multiple elements, you can build so many arrangements. Imagine how darling it would be built up inside one of our arched or oval wood blanks, and how perfect it would be for Easter signage paired with our Spring Garden or Les Lapin Moulds.
Dimensions: 6" x 10"
We recommend using IOD Air Dry Clay
Available in our brick and mortar store in Kelowna BC and online. We ship anywhere in Canada.
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.
