IOD Cadre Decor Mould - 6" x 10"

Create ornate frames and classical furniture details with the Cadre silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. This 6" x 10" decor mould features baroque-inspired framing components, intricate scrollwork and two facing cherub elements, bringing a classic European feel to furniture upcycling and decorative wall art.

Imagine an oval wall plaque edged with sculptural scrollwork, or a simple mirror transformed with an ornamental topper. Cadre gives you individual elements to arrange around your project, whether you want a richly embellished frame or a single decorative accent.

Build your own decorative frame

The components are designed to work with IOD wood blanks, particularly the oval and arched shapes. Arrange the framing pieces around your chosen blank, then introduce the facing cherubs as a focal detail. Use the scrollwork separately to add character to furniture panels and other decorative surfaces.

Ideas for your next project

• Build an ornate frame around an oval or arched wood blank.
• Create a decorative mirror topper with baroque-inspired scrollwork.
• Add furniture appliqués to cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
• Make classical wall plaques with cherub embellishments.
• Layer framing elements into dimensional mixed media artwork.

Highlight the baroque details

Try a softly aged painted finish for understated vintage character, or bring out the raised ornament with metallic accents. Keeping the castings the same colour as the surrounding piece creates a subtle sculptural effect, while contrasting finishes make the scrollwork stand out.

Using air dry clay and casting resin

Cadre can be used with air dry clay and casting resin. Air dry clay may shrink, warp or crack as it dries, adding character to vintage-inspired projects. Dust the mould lightly with cornflour to aid release, then remove the clay casting while still moist and adhere it to your surface. Low-tack tape can help support castings on vertical applications.

Casting resin produces consistent mouldings without the drying shrinkage associated with clay. For curved applications, a casting may be shaped before it has completely hardened; follow your chosen resin manufacturer's instructions for timing and handling.
