How to Use Insert Molds for Freshies (and Why They’re Space Savers!)

You know how quickly mold collections can add up. That’s where insert molds come in — they let you create tons of different looks without needing a separate mold for every design.

What Are Insert Molds?

Insert molds are small add-ons you can place inside your base mold. Instead of having a new mold for every style, you pop an insert into a standard shape (like a circle, cowhead, or pumpkin) and it imprints a design in your finished freshie. Think bows, groovy, sports designs, cherries, etc...— all with just one base mold.

How to Use Them with Aroma Beads

1. Prepare Your Base Mold – Start with your main mold shape which you can find in each insert mold listing.

2. Place the Insert – Set the insert flat in the mold.

3. Fill with Aroma Beads – Pour your prepared aroma beads into the mold

4. Bake as Usual – Follow your normal baking process.

5. Pop Out the Finished Piece – Once cooled, remove from the mold and peel off the insert. The insert will have created a crisp design on the freshie.

Why They Save Space

Inserts are a game-changer:

• One mold = many designs. Instead of 15 different molds, you can have one base mold and 15 inserts.

• Easy storage. Inserts are small and flat, so they take up way less room than full molds.

• Budget-friendly. Inserts cost 1/3 the price of a full mold, so you can expand your design options without overspending.
