Bookish Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Create the look of an old-world library with the IOD Bookish Mould, a 6” x 10” silicone décor mould featuring a collection of dimensional, vintage-inspired book spines.

Designed for makers who love literary style, antique books, faux libraries, and layered decorative displays, Bookish includes four individual book spine designs with ornate raised details, leather-like texture, recessed label areas, ribbed bands, floral accents, and classical scrollwork. Each spine casts as its own separate element, giving you the freedom to build custom book stacks, faux book fronts, bookends, wall art, journals, furniture panels, and shelf décor.

The casting render shows the beautiful dimensional effect: aged book spines with carved-looking ornament, worn leather texture, raised bands, and elegant blank label spaces ready for personalization. Use the castings as full spines, trim them down for varied heights, or add extra spacing between sections to create a more natural stacked-book look.

Apply the castings to wood blanks, existing books, journals, boxes, furniture fronts, or decorative panels. Pair with The Connoisseur’s Library Stamp to add custom titles, labels, flourishes, numbers, or ornamental details for a personalized library aesthetic.

IOD moulds are made from flexible, food-safe silicone and can be used with a variety of casting mediums, including IOD Air Dry Clay, resin, polymer clay, hot glue, fondant, chocolate, and other food-safe materials when using a dedicated kitchen-only mould.

Care Note

For food use, keep a separate mould dedicated only to edible materials. Do not use the same mould for both crafting mediums and food-safe projects.

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.
