At Little White Bird, we’re passionate about helping you breathe new life into your furniture — and few brands inspire creativity quite like Mint by Michelle. We are a big supporter of their stunning decoupage paper collection, designed to turn any upcycling project into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Who Is Mint by Michelle?

Mint by Michelle is an Australian brand with an empowering story. Founded in 2016 by Michelle, a single mum of two boys, the business began in her garage with a simple mission: to make furniture art more accessible and inspiring. Fast-forward to today, Mint by Michelle is loved by creatives in over 30 countries!

And the journey hasn’t stopped there. Michelle recently opened a second store, right in the heart of Geelong, Australia and in a very short time, transformed it into a true hub of creativity and community. Visitors can now enjoy a whole range of hands-on crafty courses, discover new, brilliant products, and even grab some stylish Mint by Michelle apparel to show off their creativity with pride.

To top it all off, the brand has just hit a major milestone: 50,000 followers on Facebook! This incredible achievement is a testament to the growing community of makers, dreamers, and furniture art lovers who believe in Michelle’s vision.

What makes Mint truly special is their focus on design, quality, and community. These aren’t just pretty papers; they are purpose-made for furniture artists, carefully printed on paper that is easy to work with and delivers striking results.

Why We Love Mint by Michelle Decoupage Papers

✨ Striking Designs

Mint’s designs are truly works of art. Think bold botanicals, dreamy portraits, playful animals, dramatic abstracts, and classic vintage styles. Each design has been hand-picked and thoughtfully scaled for use on furniture, so you can be sure the proportions look amazing on everything from bedside tables to wardrobes.

**Iris - Buy iris

📏 Two Useful Sizes

Each design is available in A1 and A3 sizes — meaning you can choose the perfect scale for your project. A1 is ideal for covering larger areas such as cabinet doors or table tops, while A3 works beautifully for drawer fronts, small tables, and accent panels.

**Shadow Garden - Buy shadow-garden

🖐️ Easy to Apply

Mint papers are printed on a specially chosen stock that’s strong but not too thick, making them easy to work with and smooth out without tearing. Just use your favourite decoupage medium and seal to protect your design.

If you love upcycling, DIY crafts, and giving old furniture a new lease of life, Redesign With Prima Ornate Frame Moulds are an absolute must-have in your creative toolkit. These flexible silicone moulds let you create beautiful, intricate frames using resin, air-dry clay, hot glue (even chocolate, yes – they’re food safe!). Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned furniture artist, these moulds add instant elegance to your projects.

You might wonder what you can do with ornate frame moulds - here are six inspiring ideas to get you started...

1. Add Glamour to Furniture Upcycles

One of the most obvious uses for Redesign With Prima moulds (or molds, if you're in the US!) is transforming tired furniture into statement pieces, and when using ornate frame moulds, the concept is no different! Apply your moulded frames to cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or wardrobe panels, then paint, wax or distress them to achieve the final 'look' you are going for (check out Brushed by Brandy's piece for inspiration!).

This instantly elevates budget furniture into a bespoke creation that looks boutique-worthy!

💡 Tip: When creating lots of moulds, use a fast-setting resin like Alumilite Amazing Casting Resin - it sets in only 10 minutes! You can find it here alumilite-resin

2. Embellish Home Accessories

Why stop at furniture? Use your frame moulds to decorate items like:

• Trinket boxes
• Picture frames
• Candle holders
• Planters and vases

A touch of metallic wax on raised details will make your moulded frames pop, giving even plain charity-shop finds a luxurious new life.

3. Create Beautiful Wall Art

If you’re looking for a simple home décor project, cast a few ornate frames, paint them in coordinating colours, and arrange them on a feature wall. You can leave them empty for a gallery-style effect or use them to frame photos, small mirrors, or dried flowers.

This is an affordable way to get the vintage gallery wall look without spending a fortune on antique frames.

4. Design Unique Gift Packaging

Handmade gifts deserve beautiful presentation. Attach small ornate frames to gift boxes, tie with ribbon, and add a name tag or tiny photo inside the frame.

This creates a personalised keepsake box that your recipient will treasure long after the gift is opened.

5. Make One-of-a-Kind Mixed Media Art

Crafters love using Prima moulds in scrapbooking, art journaling, and mixed media canvases. Frames can highlight quotes, photos, or embellishments, adding a focal point with vintage charm.

Experiment with different mediums—gesso, waxes, mica powders—to create a textured, dimensional effect.

6. Upgrade Kitchen and Bathroom Décor

Because the moulds are food safe, you can even use them with fondant or chocolate for special occasions. But outside of the kitchen, they’re perfect for upgrading plain jars, soap dispensers, or even tiling projects.

Just be sure to seal your moulded pieces for moisture resistance.

Final Thoughts

Redesign With Prima Ornate Frame Moulds are versatile, reusable, and a brilliant way to add character to your home and craft projects. Whether you’re upcycling furniture, creating DIY wall art, or making personalised gifts, these moulds let you achieve a professional finish with ease.
