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 come in all different sizes.  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.

In the photo below, the white 6 hole sugar mold is decorated with clusters of red berries, vintage ornaments, greenery and burlap ribbon.  This arrangement was easy to put together.

Another option for the white sugar mold is to simply add red glass ornaments.

Using a sugar mold is a great way to display your extra ornaments!  I did a similar thing here, combining the ornaments with a collection of bottle brush trees.  To learn more about this garden style bottle brush sugar mold, please check out this post: Simple Sugar Mold Decorating Idea For the Holidays!

I used a bundle of chenille candy canes as an accent in this single hole sugar mold. A bundle of cinnamon sticks would look cute in it as well.

The possibilities are endless!

All You Need is Some Ribbon!

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. So simple!

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.

A Few More Ideas for Everyday

The sugar mold can be used in your office to hold pens, pencils, scissors, etc.  Makeup brushes could be stored in a sugar mold in your bathroom.  In the kitchen, you could use the sugar mold to hold silverware or utensils.

During the holidays, I like to keep extra greenery picks, ribbon and berry picks on hand. 

The little bundles of greenery are the perfect size to use to add a festive touch to your displays.  They can also be used as package toppers or added to a gift basket to add a special touch.
