IOD Olive Crest Mould for Furniture Upcycling and Decorative Crafts

Bring elegant botanical and flourish detailing to your projects with the Iron Orchid Designs Olive Crest Mould. Its olive branches and classical flourish designs offer a decorative finishing touch for upcycled furniture, handmade home décor and mixed-media artwork. Use air-dry clay or casting resin to create raised embellishments you can finish in your own style.

Imagine a keepsake box decorated with an olive branch accent, a cabinet panel given a flourish centrepiece or a handmade plaque finished with botanical detail. Paint your castings to blend with the surface for subtle texture, or use a contrasting finish to highlight the design.

Creative project ideas

• Create decorative furniture appliqués for drawer fronts, cupboard doors and cabinet panels.
• Add olive branch and crest embellishments to keepsake boxes, frames and handmade home accessories.
• Bring raised botanical details to decorative plaques, signs and mixed-media artwork.
• Explore soap-making, jewellery and cake-decorating projects using separately dedicated moulds.

Using air-dry clay

Air-dry clay can shrink, warp and crack as it dries, adding an aged, distressed character to your project. Lightly dust the mould with cornflour to aid release. Remove your casting while it is still moist and adhere it in place, using low-tack tape to help support it on vertical surfaces.

Using casting resin

Casting resin produces consistent mouldings without the shrinking, warping or cracking associated with air-dry clay. To fit a casting to a curved surface, remove it from the mould before it has completely hardened so it can be shaped into position. Follow your chosen resin manufacturer's mixing, handling and curing instructions.
