This simple yet creative craft idea combines casting and designing with craft blocks and is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

Produce fish casting

For the "fish" casting, mix about four tablespoons of Raysin with water to make a smooth, creamy mixture and pour this into the casting mold up to the edge.
The fish should fill the entire mold. This will give you a clear and clean result. Leave the mold to rest for about 30 minutes - then you can carefully remove the fish from the mold.

Give it another two hours to dry completely.
If the finished fish has rough edges, you can smooth them out slightly with a little sandpaper . Smoothing gives the fish the perfect surface.

Making stylish storage compartments from wooden blocks

For the base of your creative gift idea , glue four craft blocks together on the long, narrow side using handicraft glue .
Glue another block on top of the first block on edge as a frame.
Place the cast fish on your wooden block base. This way you can see where the second block needs to be glued on as a frame.

To create another edge (for the test tube), glue a block upright in front of the last block. Leave the glue to dry. Then coat everything with VBS acrylic paint (protective varnish).

test tube decorate with transfer foil

Cut out the desired motif from the transfer film and soak it in lukewarm water for about 20 seconds.
As soon as the backing paper comes off, carefully remove the film and place it on the transfer sheet test tube.
Gently wipe over it with a cloth to remove any air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish.

You can apply another motif to the front of the "blocks gift wrapping". To do this, it is important to coat the blocks with varnish beforehand.

Final assembly and decoration

Label the molded fish with a black, opaque marker markeryou can immortalize creative messages or the name of the recipient on it.
Fill the prepared test tube with money and place all the components in the self-designed gift wrapping.
Cut a eucalyptus branch and decorate it with a piece of jute cord.

Use the cord to tie a decorative bow around the gift wrapping and place the eucalyptus branch on top. This will give your gift idea a decorative, natural touch.
