IOD Charlbury Lane Decor Mould - 6" x 10"

Build your own charming village with the Charlbury Lane silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by classic English architecture, this 6" x 10" decor mould features individual cottages designed to sit naturally alongside one another, creating a coordinated streetscape full of character.

Cathedral windows, arched dormers, leaded glass, Tudor influences, timber framing and stonework give each building its own personality. Imagine a painted village stretching across your mantelpiece, or a cottage scene tucked inside a shadow box. Use a single building as a focal point or combine the designs into a welcoming little street.

English cottage details to paint and personalise

The architectural features offer plenty of opportunities for creative painting. Highlight timber framing and stonework, pick out the windows, or give each cottage a different colour palette. Create a festive Christmas village or a year-round display that changes with the seasons.

Using air dry clay and casting resin

Charlbury Lane 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.
