Gingerbread Ornaments Casting Mold

The Gingerbread Ornaments casting mold from Creative Paradise casts two gingerbread figure ornaments per firing, one wearing a jacket and one wearing a dress, each measuring about 4 inches by 3 inches. The mold footprint is 7.5 inches long by 5.25 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall. Creative Paradise lists a fill weight of about 29 grams for the dress figure and about 27 grams for the jacket figure.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill the cavities with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to shape. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Gingerbread Ornaments mold make?
It casts gingerbread ornament shapes, each 4 inches by 3 inches. The mold includes two cavities, one figure wearing a jacket and one wearing a dress, so each firing yields a matched pair of ornaments.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic casting molds are COE agnostic, so this mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How much glass do I need per piece?
Creative Paradise lists about 29 grams for the dress figure cavity and about 27 grams for the jacket figure cavity. Weigh your glass and test a first firing when the result matters.

How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavities with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before adding glass. Re coat as needed between firings.

Working Notes

These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a casting schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the cavities with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before adding glass so the glass does not stick.
• Fill with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, use powder and fine frit filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast pieces. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

This is a suggested COE96 starting schedule, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Full Fuse (COE96):

Tack Fire (COE96): for a tack fired surface, fill uniformly to about a quarter inch with powder and fine frit.

*Segment 4 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
