IOD Tulips Decor Mould - 6" x 10"

Bring vintage botanical beauty to your projects with the Tulips silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by an 1838 pencil sketch sourced from Paris, this 6" x 10" floral decor mould offers flowing petals, generously sized bloom heads and naturally curled, finely veined leaves for furniture upcycling, spring crafts and dimensional wall art.

Arrange the tulips as a full bouquet or use individual blooms to add a simple floral accent. The separate elements give you freedom to build your own composition, with stems that can be extended to suit your project. Picture a softly painted bouquet layered inside an oval wood blank, or a single tulip casting bringing fresh character to a vintage-style furniture panel.

Floral arrangements with natural movement

The petals capture the organic movement of the original vintage sketch, while the leaf veining adds detail for paint and decorative finishes to highlight. Combine blooms, stems and leaves in different arrangements to create anything from a delicate accent to a fuller botanical display.

Ideas for your next project

• Build a dimensional tulip bouquet inside an arched or oval wood blank.
• Create floral furniture appliqués for cabinet doors and decorative panels.
• Make spring wall plaques and vintage botanical artwork.
• Use individual bloom heads as decorative accents in mixed media projects.
• Pair with the IOD Spring Garden or Les Lapins Mould for Easter signage and seasonal scenes.

Using air dry clay and casting resin

The Tulips Mould 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 pieces. 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 surfaces, a casting may be shaped before it has completely hardened; follow your chosen resin manufacturer's instructions for timing and handling.
