Step 1: Preparing the casts
Start by mixing the Raysin and water to form a creamy mixture. Make sure to choose a ratio of water to Raysin that results in an even and lump-free mixture. Then pour the finished mixture into the prepared casting moulds. Avoid air bubbles by tapping the mould lightly.
Step 2: Drying the moulds
We recommend a drying time of around 4 hours for the origami boats. This gives the mass enough time to harden and retain its shape. Other smaller castings are ready to be removed from the mould after about 30 minutes.
Step 3: Finishing - smoothing the edges
Once your castings are completely dry, carefully remove them from the moulds. Use some sandpaper to smooth the edges. This will give your mouldings a professional finish and ensure that they fit in well with the overall look of your table decoration.
Step 4: Designing the wooden tray
While your castings are drying, paint the edge of your wooden tray with sea green craft paint. This colour adds a fresh touch and enhances the maritime flair of your decoration. Allow the colour to dry well before continuing.
Step 5: Arranging the maritime table decoration
Place the dried castings decoratively on the tray. Sprinkle the bottom of the wooden tray with shell granules and complete the arrangement with real sea shells, driftwood and tea light jars. Let your imagination run wild and create a harmonious composition that evokes holiday feelings.
