Two Holiday Sweaters Ornaments Casting Mold

The Two Holiday Sweaters Ornaments mold from Creative Paradise casts two holiday sweater shapes in a single firing, one with arms extended outward and one with arms drawn in. The arms-out sweater finishes at 4 inches long by 3.75 inches wide, and the arms-in sweater finishes at 4 inches long by 3.5 inches wide. The mold footprint is 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall.

Load each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to cast the sweater silhouettes. Creative Paradise lists about 110 grams of glass for the arms-out cavity and about 92 grams for the arms-in cavity. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Two Holiday Sweaters Ornaments mold make?
It casts two holiday sweater shapes per firing: one arms-out sweater finishing at 4 inches by 3.75 inches, and one arms-in sweater finishing at 4 inches by 3.5 inches.

Are the two sweater cavities different sizes?
Yes. The arms-out cavity produces a wider piece at 4 inches by 3.75 inches, while the arms-in cavity produces a slightly narrower piece at 4 inches by 3.5 inches. The fill weights differ as well: about 110 grams for arms-out and about 92 grams for arms-in.

How much glass do I need per cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 110 grams for the arms-out cavity and about 92 grams for the arms-in cavity. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.

What COE glass can I use and how do I prep the mold?
Any COE. Ceramic casting molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Prime the cavities with a boron nitride spray or kiln wash and let it dry completely before adding glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

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 both cavities with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, 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, the manufacturer suggests powder and fine frit filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
• The arms-out cavity uses about 110 grams of glass and the arms-in cavity uses about 92 grams. Weigh your glass before loading.
• 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.
