Belsnickel (RET) 6x10 IOD Mould

Create a Christmas decoration with a folk-art character using the Belsnickel IOD Mould. Santa figures and coordinating signs draw on antique German Belsnickel imagery, with sculpted texture that suggests hand-carved wood.

Place a figure on an arched plaque, or build a small holiday display around a painted casting. Contrasting paint in the recessed details can help the face, clothing, and carved texture stand out. The separate signs also offer accents for a related Christmas project.

This Iron Orchid Designs silicone mould measures 6 × 10 inches overall; individual castings are smaller. Use air dry clay or a suitable casting resin and follow the material’s directions.

Pair it with IOD Air Dry Clay, explore IOD Moulds, or visit Shop All IOD.
