Air Dry Clay DIY Using Iron Orchid Designs

by blewis | Apr 15, 2025 | Everyday DIY, Home Decor | 17 comments

I recently came across some fun silicone molds by Iron Orchid Designs that I want to get creative with.
You can find these molds by clicking my referral link down below.

Use code SHABBY10 for 10% off your order: https://www.vintageretailtherapy.com/iod-moulds?ref=BARBARALEWIS

The first step is to add the air dry clay to the mold.
Once I had the air dry clay added I then used a spackling scraper to remove the excess clay.
Once you have the excess clay removed you’ll then pop the clay out of the mold.
The clay will need a good 24 hours to dry. I decided to place my bird onto a Dollar Tree plastic ball ornament to dry.
Once the bird was dry I then spray painted the ornament blue.
I painted the bird gold and then glued it onto the ornament.
I added some wet transfers to the ornaments . You can find wet transfers on European Excellency by clicking my referral link down below.

I added some magnets to the back side so they can be placed onto my magnetic message board.
These are so easy to make and they can be added to so many different things. I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.
