Instructions in 3 steps Few ingredients - few DIY steps. The decorative butterfly made of Raysin casting powder enhances spring in your home.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Plastic container, Kitchen roll, Scales

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Fill the plastic container with about 143 g of water and then gradually & slowly add about 500 g of the Raysin. Stir the mixture with a craft stick until an uniform and castable compound is obtained. Pour the mixture into the mould and let it dry out best overnight.

Step 2

The next day, you can remove the butterfly from the mould by turning the casting mould over and by pressing slightly several times with the palm of your hand against the casting mould until the butterfly becomes entirely detached from the mould. Allow the demoulded butterfly to harden well. At best for 1-2 days. Small burrs and irregularities can be sanded with some sandpaper.

Step 3

For the designing, take some All Purpose paint (mouse-grey) and paint the entire edge of the butterfly with a brush. Let the colour application dry well out. Then, place the stencil with the desired text over the butterfly. Press the stencil well on and stencil the text with the brush and the mouse-grey All Purpose paint, then remove the stencil and let it dry out.
