Creative casting slip can be used to produce a wide range of accessories in ceramic look. These broken egg objects are decorated inside with Metallic-Colour designed. They are decorated with artificial flowers or with tea lights to create stylish light objects.
Please make sure to illuminate the casting design Easter eggs only with LED tea lights.
prepareAcrylic forms
To begin, melt a hole in the tip of your Acrylic-egg with a hot glue gun. Make sure that the melted hole is at the top, so that you can later achieve an optimal casting result.Casting design with acrylic eggs
Now mix 2 heaped tablespoons of the casting compound with water. This is mixed a little more liquid than indicated on the product packaging, so that it can be filled more easily through the melted hole into the closed Acrylic forms . Now swivel the Acrylic-egg so that the casting compound is well distributed in the egg
Let the casting compound dry for about 10 minutes and repeat the process 4 more times. This is important so that your dino egg is stable and does not break when you release it.
After approx. 30 minutes all layers of the casting compound have hardened to such an extent that it can be dissolved from the Acrylic-egg. To release the egg from the mould, lightly tap the mould on the table. You will notice that the egg slowly divides. Now you can break the edges if necessary to make the dino eggs look even more attractive.
Our step-by-step photos show you exactly how it works.
