    Very good idea. I think I'd opt for stones instead of sand to avoid getting sand in the resin, but I'm clumsy.

    I'm a fairly new sub. The more I watch you honey, the better I like you. Your quirky personality is rather like my own. Maybe you better hope you're not as crazy as me lol. (in a really fun way of course) I love the way you've come up with these money saving tips. Brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work you do putting into these videos and ideas for us. Happy New Year.

    Fun idea! Saving resin is always a good thing. Battery operated tealights might also be an option to safely illuminate the house molds.

      @@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I was also watching the whole thinking you should do a resin pour one time to seal the sand in there so you never even have to dump....maybe do both of these ideas together! cast a silicone piece and then fill it with a resin sealed sand block for weight!

    Yes yes yes...I did a pyramid and put a clear party cup in the center and it did save a ton of resin...then I was able to put fairy lights inside the party cups, which you can't tell there's a cup in it, and then the lights are gorgeous...but I'm very new at this so I still need alot of help...these are GORGEOUS!!!

    very neat. Good way to create pieces that will be lit up as well. :D I would use marbles instead of sand as I have plenty of marbles plus I use the sand for crafting so might run out at some point. :P Also those little cook stones used when making pastry or pie crusts would work well to keep the pots weighted down. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best for 2021. :D - Heidi
