Les Croix Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Please note: Due to a minor production oversight, the volume measurement (ml/g) for one of the cross designs is missing on the Les Croix mould. This will be corrected in future production runs (expected in several months). This is a cosmetic detail only and does not affect the mould’s functionality or quality. Exchanges or replacements for this variation will not be considered. If the printed measurement is essential for your projects, please wait for a future release.

The IOD Les Croix Mould by Iron Orchid Designs fulfills the demand for a versatile cross-themed silicone mould, drawing inspiration from historical ornamental designs prevalent in Gothic and Baroque architecture across Europe, where crosses often symbolized the Tree of Life and eternal renewal through intricate floral and architectural motifs. This 6x10” mould gathers a variety of ornamental designs into one beautifully detailed sheet.

The collection includes a mix of architectural ornament-style crosses reminiscent of medieval church decor, a botanical cross with raised leaves evoking ancient Christian iconography, and simpler forms that provide makers with a range of silhouettes to explore. Smaller coordinating pieces, such as medallions and flourished accents, enable easy creation of layered compositions or addition of subtle touches to projects.

Castings perform exceptionally in a variety of mediums, including air dry clay, resin, and sugar paste, lending themselves to meaningful creations such as sugar-craft trimmings for christening cakes, decorating prayer corners, or making small hanging decorations and favors. Whether applied as single focal pieces or combined into more elaborate arrangements, the IOD Les Croix Mould by Iron Orchid Designs provides thoughtful, versatile elements that align with diverse creative styles, from vintage-inspired home decor to personalized artisan crafts.

The IOD Les Croix Mould by Iron Orchid Designs is a Silicone Decor Mold with Dimensions of 6" x 10".

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.

Food safe. The IOD Moulds are made from food safe materials (do not use the same set for food and crafts) and can be used to transform and create baked goods, furniture, soaps, jewelry, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.

Different Mediums. IOD 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 Air Dry 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, like Amazing Casting Resin. These have completely different qualities than the IOD Air Dry 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.
