How to do it Download the templates/recipes
1. Paint one or more of the edge(s) of the wooden bird all the way round according to your own taste.
2. Casting in a real egg: Make a small hole in one end of an egg with a teaspoon. Prick a hole in the egg yolk with a skewer or similar. This is the easiest way of emptying the egg.
3. Empty the egg white and the yolk.
4. Pour ordinary cooking oil into the egg and distribute it by lightly shaking the egg. Now pour out the cooking oil. NB: The oil makes it easier to release the moulded egg at the end when the casting is finished.
5. Mix 6 parts of Concrete craft powder to 1 part of water. Put the concrete mixture in a piping bag (disposable) and fill the egg. Let it harden for approx. 24 hours. A TIP! You can make a piping bag from a plain freezing bag by cutting a hole in the corner.
6. Casting in an egg-shaped candle mould: Coat the mould with ordinary cooking oil (like before) and pour the concrete mixture into the mould. Leave to harden for approx. 24 hours.
7. Removal of both types of moulds: Peel the egg shell off the concrete egg. You may need a knife. Separate the two-part candle mould and gently pry out the cast egg.
8. Decorate the cast eggs according to your own taste; shown here with glued on guinea fowl feathers and a natural hemp waist band.
9. Paint the front and the edges of each wooden letter with Plus Color craft paint. Leave to dry.
10. Glue a letter onto each flowerpot in the three-part set. Use Clear Multi Glue gel and leave to dry.
