We are thrilled to introduce two stunning new silicone molds to A Makers’ Studio— the Angel Wings Mold and the Set of Crown Molds!

These timeless designs will add elegance and sophistication to your DIY projects, whether you're creating home decor, ornaments, or even custom gift tags.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through Amy Howard’s latest workshop where she shares creative ways to use these versatile molds for all your crafting needs.

Materials Used:

• Angel Wings Silicone Mold
• Set of Crown Silicone Molds (Set of 7)
• Eco Powder
• Resin
• Gold Leaf
• Gilding Size
• Tapered Candle Mold (for wax molding)
• Pipettes

Step-by-Step Process

1. Mixing the Eco Powder

To start, mix Eco Powder with water at a 2:1 ratio. Stir until the consistency is smooth and ready to pour. The Eco Powder is an innovative, easy-to-use material that feels like ceramic once set but doesn't require heating. It's perfect for casting molds like the Angel Wings and Crowns.

2. Pour the Mixture into the Molds

Use a pipette to fill the intricate details of your mold, particularly for smaller crowns. For larger molds, pour the mixture directly into the mold. Allow the molds to sit undisturbed for 30-45 minutes to set.

3. Demolding

After your mold has set, carefully demold your creation. Gently pull the sides of the silicone mold to release the casting. The Angel Wings mold is particularly easy to work with and includes a pre-made hole to easily thread ribbon for hanging.

4. Gilding the Angel Wings

For a beautiful, luxurious finish, apply Gilding Size to the raised areas of the wings. Once the size becomes tacky (after about 5 minutes), press Gold Leaf onto the surface and gently brush off the excess with a chip brush. This process highlights the detailed feathers and adds a regal touch.

5. Creative Uses for the Molds

• Ornaments: Use the Angel Wings Mold to create stunning Christmas tree ornaments. Add a ribbon or string through the pre-made hole and you're set!
• Gift Tags: Write "To" and "From" on the back of the wings or crowns using a gold metallic pen and attach them to holiday gifts for a personalized, high-end look.
• Home Decor: Gilded crowns make wonderful drawer pulls or embellishments on jars and candles. You can also create butter molds using the smaller crown molds for an elegant touch to your dinner table.

6. Endless Possibilities

You can even use fondant with the Crown Molds to create custom toppers for cupcakes. For a unique family tradition, use these molds to decorate your holiday desserts—perfect for a special "Happy Birthday to Jesus" moment during Christmas.
