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.
