1. Using scissors, cut and remove strands of the rattan, and rough the fiber up a bit. 2. Put about 1/2 cup Spackle into a dish and mix in sand a bit at a time until it is as "gritty" as you want. (more sand makes the mixture stiffer). 3. Apply the mixture to the jug, heavy in some spots, just a smear in others. 4. While mixture is still wet, embed Red Barnacles, bits of Reindeer Moss and Black Lichen into the mixture. Hot glue can be used for a bit of extra "stick" if needed. 5. Using your paint brush (or a sponge) drizzle watered down paint on the spackled spots to create an aged look. Let the paints run together in places. Do the same to some of the Reindeer Moss and Black Lichen to help them take on the look of crusty corals, etc. Leave some of the mixture in shades of gray and white for contrast. 6. Do a light smear of mix on the Black Rock Crab, add a few small barnacles and a pinch of Reindeer Moss or Black Lichen, and let him clamber over the top of your Jug. 7. Let everything dry, then find the perfect place for it, like sitting next to a great piece of driftwood, or nestled into a pile of seashells. 8. Enjoy!
1. Keep the lid on the unused Spackle to prevent drying out, then make more mix as needed. 2. You may want to make a few different textures of your mix, using different types in different areas. 3. Although sand is available in most home improvement stores, it can be hard to come by in small quantities, (unless you live near a beach) so we include it in your Kit.
