The Two Round Ornaments mold from Creative Paradise casts two round ornament shapes in a single firing, one large and one small. The large ornament measures 4.5 inches in length by 3.25 inches in diameter, and the small ornament measures 4 inches in length by 2.75 inches in diameter. The mold footprint is 8.25 inches by 5.75 inches.
Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the rounded ornament shape. Creative Paradise lists fill weights of about 115 grams for the large cavity and 90 grams for the small cavity. As a kiln casting mold it is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.
What does the Two Round Ornaments mold make?
It casts two round ornament shapes in one firing, a large one at 4.5 inches long by 3.25 inches in diameter and a small one at 4 inches long by 2.75 inches in diameter.
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 about 115 grams for the large ornament cavity and 90 grams for the small cavity. Weigh your glass and test a first run 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 (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 both 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, the manufacturer suggests 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 ornaments. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
- The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
