What is A Sugar Mold?
You may be wondering what a sugar mold is. Sugar used to be sold to consumers in cone shapes. This was before granulated sugar came on the market. A sugar mold was used to form the sugar into the cone shapes.
Now they are used as fun, home decor pieces. Sugar molds are available in a variety of sizes. They are so fun to decorate! I may have a slight sugar mold problem! I have two 6-hole ones (one white, one natural), a 3 hole one and one that just has one hole. All of my sugar molds are reproduction pieces. While the sugar mold will stand on its own, a wrought iron stand can be a useful accent to the piece. It gives the sugar mold a little more height and adds stability in case the final creation is top heavy. The photo below shows my natural color 6 hole mold in a wrought iron stand.

Easy Sugar Mold Transformation for the Holidays
For today’s project, I am going to use this 3 hole sugar mold. This is how it looked before I transformed it for the holidays. I had originally designed it as a prototype centerpiece for a bride.

Festive Holiday Sugar Mold Decorating Idea
During the holidays, I like to keep extra greenery picks, ribbon and berry picks on hand.
To turn this everyday centerpiece into a holiday centerpiece, I will remove the lights, add some holiday ribbon and a greenery pick.
After removing the lights, I adjusted the greenery so that it could be seen better.
Next, I cut strips of ribbon 12 inches long and used them to add a bit of flair to this white hydrangea 3 hole sugar mold.
Little bundles of greenery, like the ones in the tin Jello mold below, are the perfect size to use to add a festive touch to your displays. I tucked on in the center of the sugar mold for a holiday accent. They can also be used as package toppers or added to a gift basket to add a special touch.

Other Seasonal Decorating Ideas for A Sugar Mold
This idea was one I used for Summer but it would also work for Spring! I am not sure this one should even count since it was so easy to do. What is really neat about this one is how I made the “flower” out of an old pillow case!

For the next idea, I propped a sign on top of the white sugar mold and used it as a backdrop for a garden of “planted” tulips.
