Why These Surfaces Are a Must-Have for Creative Makers

At Steel Roots Market,   I custom-cut our MDF and wood surfaces to make your DIY process smoother, more professional, and more enjoyable. These surfaces aren’t just blanks—they’re the starting point for creating heirloom-quality decor, personalized gifts, or art for your home.

Here’s how you can use them with the supplies I carry in my shop:

 1. IOD Stamps

Apply IOD decor stamps to plaques and framed pieces using ink or paint. Perfect for:

• Layered botanical prints

• Vintage labels and typography

• Background texture and pattern building

✨ Tip: Try the IOD “Brambles & Berries” stamp on a framed arch panel for a botanical cottagecore look.

  2. IOD Paint Inlays

Transform your larger surfaces with painterly inlays that sink into the paint for an artisan effect.
Our surfaces hold inlays beautifully on chalk-based or mineral paints.

✨ Tip: Use the “Melange” inlay with your signature decor board for an elegant Old World look.

3. IOD Moulds + Air Dry Clay

Add cast embellishments to your framed surfaces or plaques for a high-end, vintage feel.
Pair with decorative waxes, glazes, or metallics for depth.

✨ Tip: Use floral, architectural, or trim moulds around the outer edge of your framed arch piece.

 4. Decoupage + Collage

Our surfaces are ideal for rice paper decoupage, Mod Podge, or glue-based collage layering.
Add papers, tissue, lace, or ephemera to build texture and charm.

✨ Tip: Layer vintage sheet music or floral rice paper on a plaque, then stamp over top for depth.
