For years, Josie and Sally looked for the right vintage ornamentation to inspire another wreath and swag set, and the 6x10” Wreath and Swags Mould finally brings that vision to life. Drawn from a 1901 ornament book, these designs were originally created for architectural embellishment, and we’ve scaled them down so they translate beautifully into décor and craft projects. The set includes wreath components, swags, and refined bows that can be arranged in multiple configurations. Several pieces were intentionally sized to frame the rabbits from Les Lapin. Whether used to build a full wreath, accent furniture, or serve as a centerpiece on a larger décor piece, this set provides versatile, historically grounded ornamentation that transcends the ages.

Fleur de Lis 6X10 IOD Mould  

Introducing the Unicorns Mould, a regal nod to Renaissance Italian architecture and the lavish flourishes of baroque art. This mould emulates the mythical beauty of unicorns—long celebrated as symbols of virtue, royalty, and spirituality. Unicorns have graced art for centuries, with their symbolism woven into history. They were often depicted as representations of Christ, evoking themes of purity and divine protection. Designed for scalability, the Unicorns Mould is substantial enough to anchor your compositions while offering a mirrored component for those who love symmetry in their designs. This feature allows for more traditional arrangements. Imagine unicorns on a family crest in perfect symmetry, nestled in an IOD Arched Wood Blank surrounded by lush roses! How dramatic and fantastical! And if you’re into sugar arts, picture these beauties delicately perched on a magical birthday cake, making an unforgettable statement.  

Introducing the Heraldry Mould, a collection of emblems steeped in medieval history, traditionally used to craft family crest compilations. Designed for mixability, this mould gives you the creative freedom to build a bespoke emblem that reflects your heritage and family values. Heraldry features elegant crests, stately flourishes, and perfectly symmetrical wings (a symbol of protection) that would feel right at home above a grand fireplace. These elements would be stunning on furniture, reloved vintage book covers, or even small decor pieces like trinket boxes and gallery art on an IOD Arched Wood Blank. The wings from Heraldry fit perfectly with the unicorns from our enchanting Unicorn Mould—it’s like they were made for each other! They also fit around the sacred heart ( a symbol of eternal hope ) beautifully to create an inspiring symbolic and dramatic feature compilation. Try pairing Heraldry with the Chanticleer, unicorn, or Leonidas Moulds to create a majestic, old-world design. Painted in a bronze or verdigris patina, these elements would be breathtaking! This one’s all about legacy, and it’s ready to become a treasured part of your creative repertoire. His perfectly symmetrical design comes in a 5”x7” deep form-fitted mould. Project Suggestions:  Use the angels back to back to create a dimensional ornament.  Make exquisite planter picks for Christmas greenery.  Adorn the apex and edges of a curved frame with the angels at both ends and a taper to connect the two.  Curve the tapers to hug the side of an LED candle or napkin ring for an elevated look.  Use the section under the angel bust as icicles on other projects.   

The Chanticleer Mould is quintessential to French country aesthetics, welcoming a touch of simpler, rural life into your home.

Chanticleer embodies the French heritage, making it a perfect fit for spaces that embrace French country elegance and charm. Chanticleer would make a stunning statement on an IOD Arched Wood Blank in a cozy kitchen nook or strutting his stuff on either side of a set of vintage bookends. If you're dreaming up something more grand, Chanticleer pairs beautifully with the Heraldry Mould for an aesthetic that's both regal and rustic. Let him stand strong as a standalone focal point in your projects or serve as a solid base for composing a more grand relief.  His perfectly symmetrical design comes in a 5”x7” deep form-fitted mould.

Introducing IOD specimens, this one is all about the beetles! The IOD Sisters grew up with grandparents who were totally into academia -  think dusty stacks of books long before it was a trend. Whether it was botany or pinned insects, the academia theme brings a sense of comfort and familiarity for the sisters, and they wanted to celebrate that in this mould. The projects with this one are so fun. You can paint these castings with shimmery metallic greens and blacks for life-like realism. They are gorgeous in shadow boxes trimmed with gold bamboo from the Faux Boi Mould with natural elements from the Fronds Transfer for a botanical backdrop.   Beetle-inspired decor has a long historical significance and fits a wide range of styles, from the dark allure of gothic and vampy aesthetics to the light-hearted charm of bohemian and eclectic interiors. Whether displayed in shadow boxes or curio cabinets or drawing inspiration from beetle motifs found on wallpapers, upholstery, and decorative objects, these elements can complement various design themes. Plus, all beetles from the IOD moulds are 100% ethically sourced. Since they’re crafted from clay, resin, or your chosen material, you can enjoy creating with peace of mind, knowing no beetles were harmed in the making.😉

Watch our Mould 101 video to learn some techniques to address gapping or cracking that might occur in the drying process. If you want to avoid any shrinkage, use resin for your castings.
