Charlbury Lane Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Charlbury Lane Mould | 10” x 6”

Create a charming English village one cottage at a time with Charlbury Lane, a beautifully detailed IOD Decor Mould filled with dimensional architectural castings inspired by classic English cottages, historic village streets, and timeless old-world charm.

Charlbury Lane includes 5 casting elements: four coordinating cottage façades and one Charlbury Lane street sign. Each building has its own character while still working beautifully with the others, making it easy to create a collected village scene that feels cohesive, layered, and full of personality.

From cathedral windows and arched dormers to leaded glass, Tudor timber framing, brickwork, stonework, rooflines, chimneys, doors, roses, and textured siding, Charlbury Lane is packed with the kind of architectural detail that comes alive with paint, glaze, wax, and dry brushing. These castings are especially satisfying to finish because every recessed line and raised surface helps create depth, shadow, and that aged European cottage look.

Use Charlbury Lane to create Christmas villages, mantel displays, shadow boxes, illuminated nightlights, wall art, handmade ornaments, shelf sitters, and year-round seasonal village scenes. The cottages can stand alone as individual focal pieces or be arranged side by side to build a darling streetscape. Paint them in warm neutrals for a classic Christmas village, soft pastels for a cottagecore look, moody tones for old-world charm, or traditional brick, stone, and timber finishes for realistic English village character.

IOD Decor Moulds are made from food-safe, BPA-free silicone and are compatible with most casting mediums, including IOD Air Dry Clay, resin, paper clay, polymer clay, wax, soap, fondant, chocolate, and other food-safe mediums when reserved for food use only. IOD’s Micro-Rim and Measure Marks help make cleaner castings and easier medium measuring, especially when working with resin.

Charlbury Lane is a wonderful choice for makers who love dimensional decor, miniature villages, cozy holiday displays, English cottage style, and handcrafted pieces that feel nostalgic, detailed, and truly special.

Important Use Notes:

• For best results with IOD Air Dry Clay, press the clay firmly into the mould, remove excess from the back, and release while still moist so the casting can conform to your surface
• Use appropriate adhesive when applying clay castings to decor, furniture, signs, or other creative surfaces
• For vertical applications, low tack tape can help hold moist castings in place while the adhesive sets
• Air dry clay may shrink, crack, or warp slightly as it dries, which can add to an authentically aged, vintage look
• Casting resin creates more consistent castings with little to no shrinkage
• When using resin, follow the resin manufacturer’s mixing instructions carefully
• Use a mould release or conditioner with resin to help prolong the life of the mould
• For most non-resin mediums, release is often not necessary, but a light dusting of cornstarch or arrowroot can help if material sticks
• IOD moulds are made from food-safe material, but craft-use moulds and food-use moulds should be kept separate
• Not for high heat applications
• Do not use in dishwasher, microwave, or oven
• Wash with mild soap and water
• BPA free

Care Note. IOD states that its moulds are made from food-safe materials, but the same mould should not be used for both food and craft applications. Keep a separate mould dedicated only to edible materials.

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.
