Our instructions will guide you through the entire process, from preparing the modelling clay to the final decoration. Your next craft project will be a complete success!

Step 1: Observe the mixing ratio

Carefully mix the Raysin casting compound with water to a smooth, creamy consistency. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging:

- Mixing ratio: 280 ml water + 1 kg Raysin powder = 650 ml casting compound (1 part water to 3.5 parts powder).

Step 2: Pouring in the casting compound

Carefully pour the mixed casting compound into the prepared molds.

Step 3: Remove air bubbles

Carefully tap the filled mold on the surface several times so that any air bubbles can rise to the surface and escape.

Step 4: Remove the castings from the mold

After about one hour hour, the cast objects can be carefully removed from the mold. Leave them to air dry for a while.

Step 5: Smooth the edges

Smooth the edges of the dry cast objects with sandpaper, to achieve an even and clean surface.

Step 6: Apply craft paints

Paint the edges of the bowls or the sides of the houses with different craft paints. Apply about three coats of paint to get an evenly covering layer of paint.

Step 7: Stamp silk paper

Stamp a piece of silk paper to your liking. Place it right side up on a candle.

Wrap a piece of baking paper around the candle, pull it tight and carefully work the surface with the embossing dryer. The wax will begin to melt slightly and cover the candle silk paper.

Leave the candle to cool briefly and then carefully remove the baking paper.

Tip: Adjust the candles

If your stick candle is too large in diameter, you can adjust it with a candle sharpener. To ensure that the candle stands firmly in the decorative bowl, place a small wax sticker on the base of the mold.
