Part 1: DIY Thanksgiving Chargers with One IOD Mould

Do you ever get that giddy feeling in your chest when you just can't wait to share a project that you made with someone? That's how we feel about sharing our Thanksgiving Centerpiece series with you. We're absolutely thrilled with the final look and can't wait to see how yours turns out!

For this project, we grabbed enough affordable plain chargers for a full place setting. Our chosen design tool is the beautiful Oak Leaves and Acorn mould, imparting a classical charm and scrumptious texture to the chargers. Once the moulds are glued and have had time to dry, we'll paint our chargers with a soft beige paint and apply a dark wax for a stunning finish that's sure to impress. Follow the tutorial to create gorgeous chargers to adorn your Thanksgiving tablescape.

IOD Products Needed:
✨ Oak Leaves and Acorns Mould

Other Supplies:
🎨 Primer
🎨 Gold leaf paint
🎨 Soft beige chalk paint*
🎨 Dark wax
🎨 Clear wax
🎨 Amazing Cast Resin
🎨 Thick and Quick Glue

*we used a chalk-type paint in this tutorial, but there are many brands and types of paint, talk to your stockist to learn which one is right for you!
Tip: These chargers are totally thriftable, especially around this time of year! We recommend that you check out your local thrift store for a set.☺️

Like the rest of the world, absolutely adore everything IOD… with that said, I work in mainly resin, please when you are demonstrating with any form of resin, use PPE, or at least gloves… I had a reaction to polyurethane resin, and from then on, have learned, this stuff has fumes that can be toxic… The amount of followers that you have, need to know this… I have an air purifier that shows when the air quality isn’t good, it always shows when I’m using this stuff…. Sorry for the rant, just want everyone to be safe….
