  1. Preparing the casting mold

Start by mixing the Raysin powder according to the instructions on the packet. Make sure that the mixture has a creamy consistency and is free of lumps - this is crucial for an even and smooth result. Then place the smaller part of the mold into the larger part with the bottom facing up. Pour the prepared Raysin mixture carefully and evenly into the mold so that both the edges and the bottom are completely covered. Leave the mixture to dry for at least hour and then carefully remove the figure from the mold. Another Time to dry: in the air ensures that the mold hardens completely and becomes stable.

  1. Decorating the storage jars

Use the waiting time during the drying process to decorate the storage jars creatively. You can embellish a storage jar with a lid with an original beer coaster decoration. Use silicone stamps and red paint to give the edge of the lid a particularly festive look. A decorative banderole rounds off the design. Pretty ribbons and a lovingly stamped tag make a charming accessory for the jar of sweets. A small fir branch on the tag completes the decoration and gives it a Christmassy charm.

  1. Pour the wax and place the wick

For particularly atmospheric moments, melt the wax to make a scented candle. Place a wick in the middle of the storage jar. Briefly dip the wick plate into the melted wax to secure it in the jar. Then add two candle drops to create a festive red color and the warm scent of baked apple. If you want to adjust the intensity of the color to your taste, you can add more wax coloring pastilles.

  1. Design the bowl

Add the finishing touches to the molded bowl with artistic details. Use felt-tip pens to creatively highlight the gnome motifs on the edge of the bowl. These small details bring the figures to life and make the bowl a real eye-catcher in any room.
