DIY Christmas Ornaments with Redesign with Prima And IOD Moulds 

I saw a tip about getting the clay out of the molds without distorting or damaging them.. put them in the freezer for a bit and the clay just pops right out...

Use a chippy brush for ornate pieces. The brush gets down in there where others won't. Before adding black or white wax, add a layer of clear first . Makes the white and black wax move easier and will wipe back and give you more control. Bohemian Blue is a fabulous color. Probably the prettiest color I've ever seen!

These are just gorgeous!! I love all your tips, trials and success to show us along the way. Great jobs and feel like these could really be heirloom gifts!

Love all the mouids, paint choices, waxes you used to create these beautiful ornaments. Thanks for sharing your inspirations❤

These ornaments are stunning! ❤️😊👍

Wow! I love the addition of gold and that Bohemian blue is so stunning!

Beautiful ornaments!

How beautiful! Great tutorial. You included so many excellent tips. And your daughters little gnome is adorable! Your video showed up in my feed and I'm so happy to have found you.

I have that IOD Blitz mould and will definitely be making ornaments like yours with it! I love it!

These are really beautiful and I am inspired to try making them myself. Thanks for the inspiration and tips on the overall process.

Beautiful

Your ornaments are absolutely gorgeous!

These are gorgeous!!!

Soooo lovely 🥰

WOW! ❤ Next on my bucket list. 😊

deine Idee ist genial - danke dafür. Herzliche Grüße Theresa aus Germany

Excellent

❤❤❤

Cooking spray...who knew?! lol I love all my molds but there are some that just won't cooperate. I love all the fancy scroll wk, but it's so frustrating when things don't work out. I've even been using my hot glue gun with a sm tip more often. That helps a lot, but I'll definitely give the oil a try! I made a bunch of ornaments similar to yours last yr. They're fun to make & look so beautiful

I use a soft bristle toothbrush to paint my molded clay.

The blue one was my favorite although they were all pretty.

I'm thinking I would paint the clay after taking it out of mold.Spray paint the bauble first and then apply the clay print on.

I don't see a link to Iren's RU-vid channel....can you please provide? Thank you so much....Merry Christmas

Did you find the cooking spray kept paint from sticking to the clay when dried?

Does this clay crack easily?

Should I paint my clay pieces before or after they dry?

You mentioned that your “go to primer is Pentart” I can’t seem to find that. Maybe I misunderstood the name. Could you tell me what you use?

If I don’t have moulds, can I do it with cut dies?

this is half dry when it is glued on. does that mean extra drying time?

Hi newbie here havent started doing any yet trying to learn first.why do u have to use wax.

Any tips on where to get that Prima mould? Tried numerous online sites and unfortunately a lot of merchants do no update their sites; consequently, I purchased all the supplies and was then told the mould was unavailable.

PS: if you water the paint down a bit, so it becomes more liquid it is easier to get the first color coat of paint in all the noocks of the details and then drybrushing over it with regular thick paint works well for me!

They turned out beautiful! One trick I’ve learned is to apply clear wax first…..then apply the black or dark wax. You have so much more control over moving and removing the dark wax where you want.

These ornaments are all stunning thank you. I appreciate you talking us through the process. I really don’t understand people sometimes is it because they’re so self-absorbed. Whatever happened to if you don’t have anything nice to say,don’t say anything at all, right? Keep doing what your doing. You’re an amazing crafter 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰

These ornaments turned out so pretty! Last year I tried my hand at making these with various moulds I had and I even used gold leafing! They turned out so lovely. Thank you for sharing your work….love how they turned out!😊

Lovely tutorial, and such gorgeous ornaments!!! Us crafters love the chat and knowing that others get frustrated too it’s such a learning curve and the opportunity for sharing advice is a wonderful way to learn tips and techniques. Thank you for the inspiration to try making these. New subscriber😍😍😍

Thank u for giving credit for ur idea I see in wire wrapping an Asian lady created so many ideas never seen anyone ever give her credit. So much respect ❤

"What do Christmas ornaments and Jeffrey Epstein have in common?" They don't hang themselves.

Where did you get the ornaments with solid tops? All the tops or caps to I can find look like cheap tin! I usually paint them or put baking soda to cover up the cheap cap but I need one that is metal looking.

You definitely want to pretty much always use clear wax or a water based top coat before using any colored waxes especially on chalk paint or clay paint. Chalk & Clay based paints are super porous and even if you only leave the colored wax on for split seconds, the paint is still going to soak up a lot of the pigment in the wax. You were rubbing quite a bit to take off the excess wax & you should never have to work that hard to remove or manipulate your colored waxes. Sealing the paint first with either the clear wax or a water based top coat give you so much more freedom while using your colored waxes.

While i like the results, i am not a fan of dark, non reflective, ornaments

Hi I just happened upon your channel and now I’m a subscriber! These ornaments are amazing! I do have some moulds so I think I’m going give it a try. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us!

In regards to using clear wax before using dark wax; not only can you wipe away the dark wax more easily but you can add a little clear wax to your wiping cloth and use as an eraser to remove “heavy handed” dark wax application! This only works with clear wax UNDER the dark wax. Loved these ornaments and thanks for sharing!

I watch a diy’er that works a lot with the IOD molds and she paints them with a chippy brush! She says she likes them because it gets every nook and cranny! Try it….you never know!

So glad I "stumbled across" your channel and being introduced to Irene's channel. The first one you did with the rub and buff, make it look like a metal ornament. Love it!

You say this isn’t your medium but you did a marvelous job. They are gorgeous!

Perhaps it would have helped you when painting the intricate snowflakes to have started out by simply watering down your paint color, allowing the color to seep into the snowflake designs. Then go over with the paint? 🤔

These are gorgeous, wow, they really look high-end. Thanks for sharing.

❤ Beautiful projects!! I love IOD moulds. I have some prima molds, but definitely prefer IOD! IOD makes a great clay, but you may want to try DAS clay! DAS clay is AMAZING for details and it is priced great!! I enjoyed your tutorial! Thank you for sharing and for all the inspiration!!

Just beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Eexcellent work.

Can you suggest another wax? Deb’s wants $25 shipping and I can’t get kg local 😊thank you. It’s not on Etsy either.

What beautiful ornaments! I wanted to decorate a wall in my living room this year with ornaments. I wanted something stylish...this is perfect! You did an amazing job! Thank you so much.

Beautiful. I have watched a couple of your other ornament videos, they are all so informative. Thanks for taking the time to do these!❤

Thanks! Now I have two new RU-vid addictions. I’m looking forward to watching all your videos!

They are ornament balls not bobbles. Nice job. I’ve used gold leaf on the clay. It does take time. The blue is outstanding.

Hi, I'm new to your channel. I love homemade ornaments. I just watched one by cynthialoowho from 2022. She didn't make any in 2023, so I'm looking for another crafter who would make some of that caliber.

I love the rustic charm you achieved with these ornaments! Well done!!

Love love these and are making them all. Thank you for your inspiration!

These look so stunning, thank you for sharing. I'm here in Australia so I'm going to have to put these on my list of things to make for next year, it'll take a minute to find all of the supplies ❤️🙏

Great job on this project ❤

Your video just popped up on my page and I'm so glad I decided to watch it. I love the ornaments you made! I'm definitely keeping this video and making ornaments following your instructions. I just subscribed also. Thank you!

These are all beautiful. ❤ thank you for sharing

Amei o seu trabalho lindo parabéns 🥳💖

OMG!!! Those ornaments turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing. I am definitely going to have to try this...

Can you work a small amount of paint into the white clay?then press it into the molds?

ohhh these are absolutely stunning :) so so beautiful xx

Thank you so much Angelica, I really really enjoyed watching you create these awesome and wonderful baubles. I absolutely love ❤️ and adore them all. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

You are one awesome crafter. These baubles are beautiful. I think I am going to try these, however I will use white wax instead of black wax. Thats just my preference, to me the black wax just doesn't look christmassy or festive. But that is strictly my preference only. I just like color period, and always have. Color makes me happy. This was not to offend you or anyone. Keep doing what you do, and I will keep watching you. Thanks for explaining it to us.

I’m so inspired! I’m a paper crafter, too, and share card making tutorials on RU-vid, too. But I’ve been eyeing these ornament tutorials and can’t wait to try them myself! Thanks for the inspiration. Your ornaments are just gorgeous! 🥰

Funny, they kinda look like theyre made from cement

I have heard corn starch works too as nonstick medium.

Thanks for sharing Angelica. Tip... Try Tim Holts distress oxide sprays... It will cut your painting time and effort, and the clay absorbs them well 👍😉 kind regards, Mary from Australia 😁

Como le hago Para conseguir ese molde ???

Iuc benutze uberhaupt kein Öl oder mehl. Die gehen bei meinen formen ganz normal heraus weil die formeb richtig gut sind

Adding a little liquid acrylic medium will thin the paint a bit without adding moisture. It will help get the paint into to the crevices better.

These are beautiful ….I’m in the uk and I can only find very small moulds …they would never fit on the top of a bauble ..

I have been trying everything to keep the clay from sticking and breaking apart when i try to de mold them...sigh

I can't see any molds like these in UK?

I freeze my moulds for an hour or so, then the 2 separate easily and then by placing the frozen mold on the surface of choice, it just espouse that form as it defrosts…… perfect ….

I love the look of these baubles. I find using a stiffer bristled stipling brush gets into the nooks and crannies quicker and easier.

Would you please send me the link for Eileen’s channel. I can’t find it in the description

They turned out so beautiful!! Great job!

Do you think a stippling brush would work for the intricate parts

Beautiful! Exactly the tips I was looking for!thank you for the video and the material explanation. I was wondering about using the wax. I have heard that the Hearty clay isn’t durable or will dent easily. Do you find it to dent easily or have any suggestions on making it harder/more durable after it is dry?

These are gorgeous. I can’t find any of the moulds except for the redesign snowflake mould. Couldn’t find the IOD blitz. Do you have a link?

Can anyone recommend waxes to be found online? I'm in Switzerland, and local shops have no idea what I'm talking about - all they have is shoe or table wax...

OMG THOSE ARE GORGEOUS… CHIC AND DID I SAY GORGEOUS… 👍🏻👍🏻😢STUNNING

saturn planet is real ?????

Beautiful and classy 😊

Absolutely beautiful! I love the detail with the paint, then the waxes. Can you tell me WHERE I can buy the Debi's Design Diaries paint and waxes that you used.? I looked at 3 different shops. I'd like to go to one if possible. I live in the southwestern US. I LOVE your technique. I will look at It Irene's site but in the meantime I SUBSCRIBED to yours!!! Please make more. These are gorgeous. I will be making them! Thank you ~ 🌹

Will using cooking spray as a release agent on silicone molds affect or hurt the molds at all? I think I’ll try using the spray as well. Do you wash your molds after using the spray? I’m just wondering how the oil spray reacts with silicone. I’m certainly not a chem major & therefore I ask. ☺️☺️

What clay do you use?

Try using a makeup sponge. I watch "inspirations from the soul" . AMAZING.

quieres dejar de hablar tanto??' eres agotadora

Bravo! They turned out fabulous. I have to say, it was like listening to myself doing these 😂 the oh this is great to the oh this isn't, repaint...haha really comes down to exploring the materials, tools and techniques for sure. Love to see a video with the same products I use. Love my IOD molds and I use the same air dry clay. Love that stuff. Wasnt expecting the weird fluffy texture the first time I used it, but once I did. Totally hooked. Surprisingly maintains shape and detail while working with it considering how light it is. Thank you for sharing your process too btw. Toothbrush heads are so handy for so many things and definitely try that. For getting into the cracks and tight spots, I find using a fan brush works great. Im leaning to the spray action route myself and have yet to give it a go. Be grateful for any recommendations on what NOT to use for paint. Haha Thank you again for sharing. Look forward to seeing your work. Subscribed! Merry Christmas to you. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Как утомляет эта болтавня!

Could you paint the clay first?

Wow they turned out gorgeous👍🏻🌲

Beautiful job - gorgeous ornaments especially for vintage and shabby chic style!!!

What kind of adhesive is this your using?
