Which mold is better for making Christmas ornaments?

Both have hanging holes. The NORIZF is sold as a Christmas ornament mold with a dedicated ornament shape. The Valtira makes nine plain 1.77-inch rounds per pour, which suits simple baubles and coasters.

Which gives more pieces per batch?

The Valtira, with 9 cavities against NORIZF's 4. For a full set of matching ornaments, the Valtira needs fewer pours.

Can I use plaster or soap in either mold?

NORIZF lists plaster, soap, gypsum and clay alongside resin. Valtira lists only epoxy and UV resin, so keep plaster and soap to the NORIZF.

Which is better for embedding dried flowers and glitter?

The Valtira states a 0.6 cm cavity depth, enough for thin layers of flowers, glitter or shells. NORIZF does not state its depth, so check before planning thick embedments.

Is one worth the extra cost?

No prices were given for either mold, so check current store prices. The Valtira gives more than twice the cavities; the NORIZF gives a Christmas shape and more casting materials.

9-Cavity Round Silicone Molds for Christmas Ornaments and Resin Casting with Hole, 1.77 inch vs NORIZF 4-Cavity Silicone Christmas Ornaments Resin Molds with Hole

Buy the Valtira 9-cavity mold if you want volume: nine 1.77-inch round cavities per pour, so a batch of ornaments or coasters takes one casting session. Buy the NORIZF 4-cavity mold if you want fewer, larger Christmas ornament shapes and plan to cast plaster, soap or clay as well as resin. Neither listing gave a price or store, so compare live prices before you commit.
