As part of my ongoing obsession with tiny houses, I bought a silicon mould of a tiny house on etsy earlier in the year (which doesn’t seem to be available any longer) with the idea that I might use it for concrete.

Some time later, I discovered that Kmart (unexpected home of interesting craft supplies) had resin kits! There was nothing for it but to make a tiny resin house.

Supplies. In addition to the kit, I bought sparkles and dyes. I also bought a coaster mould so I could use-up any leftover resin.

Safety first!

The dyes were opaque, but I (wishfully) expected to be able to get a marbling effect with different colours. This worked initially (as with the image on the left), but then they all melded together into solid purple(ish). So I stuffed it full of sparkles.

Fin!

Well, sort of fin – a couple of the edges are a quite sharp and need to be sanded and buffed.

I love the sparkly house (though the sparkles settled oddly), but am less of a fan of the coaster (Don very much likes it) – both were definitely worth the experiment!

I have another kit, so will apply my learnings to a second house!
