BIBELOTS 2

Meet Bibelots 2, the next generation of one of our most beloved holiday moulds. The beautifully blank shapes welcome the most creative projects, making holiday crafting feel fun and inspiring. Bibelots 2 is a blank slate for your Christmas inspired creating, and trust us, this is one you’ll find yourself reaching for each season.

These timeless silhouettes are ready to pair with transfers, moulds, stamps, paint inlays, and anything else you want to layer it up with. Their versatility takes the fuss out of handmade ornaments, so you can skip straight to the fun part!

Pair Bibelots 2 with bits from our holiday transfers like Partridge Lane or Winter Botanist, or nestle a tiny snowflake or woodland creature from the Snow Globes Mould into one of the blank bibelots. Try sandwiching a favorite photo between two clear resin casts for a keepsake ornament. You could even add a ribbon and name tag for a custom place setting!

Use with our IOD Air Dry Clay, which was formulated to work with all of our IOD Moulds, or Amazing Casting Resin by Alumilite, which offers a near perfect cosmetic casting.

IOD Décor Moulds can be used with many different mediums. We will cover the two most common here. Every medium has its own characteristics, challenges, and virtues.

Air dry clay, or paper clay: IOD paper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favorites. Like most paper pulp based air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. Our favorite way to apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist, and adhere to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it doesn’t slide.

Casting resins: There are some great pourable resins available. These have completely different qualities than the paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the mould before it’s completely hardened.

On releases: We find that most of the time a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without the use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material sticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.
