Create a magical Christmas with self-moulded decorations
Preparation of the casting compound
Start your craft project by mixing Keraflott casting compound with water to form a creamy, lump-free mixture. Make sure you stir thoroughly until there are no more lumps. A uniform mixture is crucial to obtain beautiful, smooth mouldings later on.
Filling the silicone moulds
Now it gets exciting! Carefully pour the finished mixture into your silicone moulds. A little tip: tap gently against the mould to remove any trapped air bubbles and distribute the casting compound evenly. This will ensure that the surface of your moulds is nice and smooth.
Drying and hardening
Once the castings have hardened, you can carefully remove them from the moulds. This is a crucial step: leave them to dry completely in the air. This will ensure that the mouldings are as strong as possible. If you notice any rough edges, don't worry - they can easily be smoothed out with a little sandpaper.
Decorate to your heart's content
Here comes the creative part! You can paint your castings however you like. Acrylic paints are ideal for this. For a special effect, you can also stick vellum paper behind the castings to create a beautiful translucency. Be creative and design the castings to suit your taste!
Assembling the Christmas scene
The final steps are child's play: plug the casting moulds into the tealight holders with the plug-in edge. Then place the tealights in the hollows of the moulds. Et voilà - you have created an atmospheric Christmas scene that will make your home shine in festive splendour.
