I’ve to say, that I’ve form of fallen in love with the Mayku FormBox Vacuum Former and I’ll or might not have needed to go buy myself a brand new little pocket book to jot down all the concepts for issues I wish to make, plan to make and MUST MAKE!
I made a decision that after my first mission the place I made some “Touring Dork” cleaning soap with my brand on it, I needed to make myself a cute little succulent planter to take together with me for my travels. So that’s precisely what I did, and the method was not solely very easy and easy to do, however fairly enjoyable!
Under, I share a bit about how I created this mission in addition to a video I manufactured from the method I went by way of from begin to end!
Creating My Succulent Planter with the Mayku Formbox

For this mission, I went to the native thrift retailer to discover a form I needed to make use of for my succulent planter and located two items that may work completely! One was a small ingesting glass and the opposite was a votive candle holder, which have been each manufactured from glass.

I used the smaller of the 2 to create a mould to make use of as the outlet that may home the succulent plant I needed to place in there. I made certain to decide on kinds that have been tapered and could be straightforward to take away from the mould as soon as it was fashioned.

For the planter mould in addition to the mould for the outlet, I used the Mayku Forged sheets that are clear and have a nonstick floor so my completed planter would pop proper out as soon as it was able to be eliminated.

For the plaster, I knew that I needed to make use of the Mayku Pour Powder that had include my Mayku FormBox, however I additionally needed so as to add some coloration. With none pigment or coloring, the planter would have been a greyish white coloration that would have been painted after it was dried, however I needed to combine in some pigments I had discovered on the artwork retailer, instantly into the powder for a nicer end.


As soon as I had combined up my powder and pigments, it was time to pour them into the mould in layers as I hoped for a pleasant rainbow-type impact with random ranges of coloration for a singular and attention-grabbing look. I positioned my mould over a deep container in order that it might maintain it regular and it might have much less of an opportunity of being knocked over or getting bumped.

I then took the smaller mould and used it to create the outlet and area for the succulent to take a seat in as soon as it was able to plant. For this, I needed to push the mould into the plaster after which tape it down firmly whereas it dried, because it stored making an attempt to flee and pop again up out of the plaster!


As soon as dried, I used to be capable of take away the mould for the outlet and the dried succulent planter from the forged sheets and plant my succulent pal to go reside with me in my van for my highway journeys!
