How to make it

10 steps

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.

Step 2 Colour me creative

Get inspired and choose your colour! Not sure what colour to go for? A dash of red, a drop of blue and a little bit of white makes the cutest lilac.

Step 3 How much?

Before you get to making your Jesmonite creation, it's always a good idea to have everything fully prepped. Grab your 4x cups from your Kit and weigh out your liquids and your powders.

Step 4 Don't lose your marbles (or chips)

Depending on the noah Jesmonite & Terrazzo Craft Kit you've got, you'll either be making Terrazzo Chips, Marble or Monochrome effect.

Step 5 Add a splash of colour

Now you've got your mixture ready, you can add in your colours! Add a drop of colour from your pigment bottle into the mixture, and stir until all mixed in.

Step 6 Pour me another

Once you're happy with the colour or colours you have created, you can pour the mixture into your mould! Start slowly around the edges. Gently tap and bang to release the air bubbles.

Step 7 Just leave it alone

Pop your creation to the side and let it set for approx. 45-60 minutes. Jesmonite heats up when it's setting so don't be alarmed. You'll know once it's ready as it'll be cool and hard to touch.

Step 8 Get rid of that mould

Carefully start to de-mould your piece by gently taking the silicone mould from it. Treat it like you would anything that says 'handle with care'!

Step 9 Oh Sandy!

Fill a bowl of water and give your piece a quick dip. Sand first with 80 grit to reveal the chips, then follow up with 240 grit for a smoother finish.
