Iron Orchid Designs - Mould - Wreath & Swags

IOD Wreath & Swags Decor Mould - 6" x 10"

Add classical ornament to your furniture upcycling and creative projects with the Wreath & Swags silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by a 1901 ornament book, these wreath components, swags and refined bows draw on architectural embellishments, scaled down for decorative crafts and home décor.

Imagine a painted cabinet door framed with delicate swags, a vintage-style wall plaque finished with a bow, or a complete wreath surrounding a favourite decorative motif. The individual elements can be arranged in different configurations, giving you room to create your own balanced composition.

Build a wreath or add a decorative accent

Combine the components into a full wreath, use a swag as a standalone furniture detail, or add bows to finish a layered design. Several pieces were intentionally sized to frame the rabbits from the IOD Les Lapins Mould, making this a lovely companion for spring and Easter projects as well as year-round decorating.

Ideas for your next project

• Create ornate furniture appliqués for cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
• Build a decorative wreath as the centrepiece of a wall plaque.
• Frame Les Lapins rabbit castings for a vintage-inspired spring display.
• Add swags and bows to signs, frames and mixed media artwork.
• Layer the elements on a larger décor piece for an architectural-inspired finish.

Bring out the ornamental detail

Try a softly aged painted finish for understated vintage character, or highlight the raised details with metallic accents. Keep the castings tonal with your furniture for a subtle effect, or use a contrasting colour to make the wreath and swag designs stand out.

Using air dry clay and casting resin

This mould can be used with air dry clay and casting resin. Air dry clay may shrink, warp or crack as it dries, lending 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 project. Low-tack tape can help support castings on vertical surfaces.

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.
