Metal rings and moulding with casting compound are absolutely in. We combine both trends and create beautifully designed metal rings for hanging with a designed surface made of wooden blocks and self-cast figures. Together with a lettering and an illumination by a chain of lights, we have created two beautiful decoration pendants - perfect for your walls, too.

So gestaltest du die Ringe:
First glue two blocks to the metal ring with VBS handicraft glue. The blocks are glued to the large ring with the narrow side, so that a wide surface is created. For the small ring, the wooden blocks are glued with the wide side, this gives a smaller footprint, but the possibility to label the front block. To do this, you can print out our free template and transfer it onto the block using graphite paper. Trace the lettering with the Posca marker.

Allow the glued blocks to dry for approx. 3 hours.

Mix the raisin according to the instructions in the mixing cup, pour it into the casting moulds and tap the mould lightly on the table surface so that the air bubbles come out. After 1 hour of drying, the castings can be carefully removed from the mould. Smooth the edges with some sandpaper.

Fix the chain of lights to the back of the houses with hot glue. Then place the houses in the ring (fix with glue as desired).

Stick the "reindeer friends" onto the blocks with hot glue.

Finally, attach the ribbons.
