Instructions in 5 steps This wintry decorating idea is put into practice through casting with Raysin: a pretty combination of black Raysin and white Raysin dyed with coloured pigments displayed on a wooden tray adorned with a string of lights.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, decorative snow, paintbrush, batteries, mixing vessel, poss. sandpaper

And this is how it works:

Step 1

For a cluster of nordic houses, you need to cast three houses in Raysin. In this particular case, two houses are cast with colour pigments and one with black Raysin. To do this, start as follows: Mix 300g of Raysin 200 in turn with tangerine and anthracite colour pigments. Mix well the whole in a dry state and add the corresponding amount of water according to the instructions on the packaging. Then cast two houses with the resulting mixture. For the black nordic house, you’ll need 130 g of Raysin 250. Mix the required amount according to the instructions on the packaging and fill the house-shaped casting mould with the resulting mixture.

Step 2

After drying for about 1 hour, the Nordic houses should be carefully demoulded. However, they should be left to dry for one or two days. If necessary, you can sand the edges on the rear side with sandpaper.

Step 3

Then, paint the roofs of the coloured nordic houses using the gold acrylic paint. Let them dry thoroughly.

Step 4

The next stage is to glue the wooden blocks together with the glue fix pen to make a wooden tray. Let it dry thoroughly.

Step 5

And, finally, stamp a heart on the front side of the tray with the Clear stamp. Now all that is left to do is decorate the tray with fir trees, decorative snow and a string of lights.
