Anleitung No. 3041Luminous home decoration with Buddha
Castings and craft blocks - a very special combination! Moulding the Buddah figure and the candle holder is easy to do and we shorten the waiting time with this idea by making a stylish light box with a few wooden blocks and an acrylic block and thus skilfully showcasing the self-cast decorative objects.
Mould the candle holder and Buddha:
Mix about 8 heaped tablespoons of Raysin with water to make a creamy mixture for the Buddha and about 3 heaped tablespoons for the candle holder. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. Then pour it into the moulds. Only fill the candle holder halfway. Hang the Buddha casting mould in the mould holder and place it on an empty container. Now leave it to dry.The candle holder can be removed from the mould after 30 - 45 minutes. You should leave the Buddha in the mould for around 5 hours. Carefully demould it after the drying time and allow it to air dry further.
Making a lightbox for decorative objects:
For this idea, you will need 9 craft blocks made from the wood of your choice and a satinised acrylic block. Glue 4 craft blocks together on the long edge for the top and bottom plate.While these are drying, you can write on the acrylic block if you like. To do this, write your message beforehand with a pencil and then afterwards with a fineliners. Now take the remaining craft block and glue it with the long edge to the side of the base plate. This one block forms the back wall of the lightbox.
If you like, you can place the chain of lights now. The advantage is that you can fix it in place with adhesive tape now so that it doesn't fall out later. Next, stick the acrylic block to the opposite side of the back wall. Finally, place the top panel on top of these two blocks. Weigh it down with an object so that everything adheres well to the glue. You can tell that the glue has dried through when it has become transparent. Then place your decorative objects on the lightbox.
