Step 1: Making the Masterpiece

We gonna make the masterpiece first, cut a block of Poly urethane foam 250mm X 250 mm using a bend saw.

Pour water in the bucket with the pieces and soak the cardboard in the water for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Adding Flour and Eggshells

Crash the eggshells into small pieces and put them on the soaked cardboard.
Add 4 spoons of Wheat flours on the mixture in the bucket. (The flour holds all the material together and makes it strong),
Then stare to mix all the materials, make sure you mix carefully.

Step 5: Applying Vaseline to the Mould

Before you put in the material you have mixed, make sure you first apply Vaseline to the mould so that it can be easy to remove the final product (does not get stacked).

Step 6: Putting the Material in the Mould.

Carefully spread the material around the mould so that it is thin and hollow. (The flour can be sticky on your hands, use Vaseline).
