The Small Daisies and Leaves mold from Creative Paradise casts a set of floral and foliage shapes in a single firing: one large daisy at 3.5 inches in diameter, one small daisy at 3 inches in diameter, and multiple leaf shapes at 2 inches each. The mold measures 8 inches by 6.5 inches by 1.5 inches tall, fitting all the cavities into one kiln load.
Fill weights from Creative Paradise are 35 grams for the large daisy, 30 grams for the small daisy, and 15 grams per leaf cavity. Load each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fire to a full fuse or tack fire. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when primed and cared for properly.
What does the Small Daisies and Leaves mold make? It casts one large daisy at 3.5 inches in diameter, one small daisy at 3 inches in diameter, and multiple leaf shapes at 2 inches each, all in a single firing.
What COE glass can I use in this mold? Any COE. Ceramic casting molds are COE agnostic, so the same 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 cavity? Creative Paradise lists 35 grams for the large daisy, 30 grams for the small daisy, and 15 grams per leaf. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.
How do I prep the mold before casting? Coat each cavity with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) 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 each cavity 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 each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, the manufacturer suggests powder and fine frit filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
The mold is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse or tack fire 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):
Segment Rate Temp (F) Hold 1 300 1150 45 2 150 1300 20 3 400 1460 10 4 9999 950* 60
Tack Fire (COE96): for a tack fired surface, fill uniformly to about a quarter inch with powder and fine frit.
Segment Rate Temp (F) Hold 1 275 1150 20 2 350 1420 05 3 9999 950* 60
*The 950 F hold marked with an asterisk is the anneal soak for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
