How to make it

6 steps
Getting Started

Step 1 Getting Started

Pop on an apron or old tee. Clear a workspace. Lay down protective plastic and tape to table. Cover floor with protective plastic. Get your gloves on and ready to make.

Colour me creative

Step 2 Colour me creative

First you need to decide what colours you would like your piece to be - contrasting colours often work the best. Think cobalt blue marbled with a dark cream or blood orange marbled with a soft pastel yellow.

Weigh it out

Step 3 Weigh it out

Weigh out half of your liquid and powder to make your first colour mixture. Don't mix these together just yet. Take your liquid and add a tiny bit of colour using your lollipop stick.

Mix it up

Step 4 Mix it up

Take your third cup and pour both of your mixtures into it. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the marbled effect. Pour into your mould and bang on a hard surface to remove air bubbles.

Shape the future

Step 5 Shape the future

Slowly start to de-mould your piece by gently taking the silicone mould from it. Start with the edges and go slowly.

Get your sand on

Step 6 Get your sand on

Fill a large bowl with lukewarm water and grab your 240 sandpaper. Wet your sandpaper and your piece, and using circular motions smooth out any lumps or bumps.
