Molds with Chunks

Fill your molds with chunks.

There's no real right or wrong way to do it. You can:

  • pack them lightly
  • pack them tightly (shake the molds or tap them on the counter to make the chunks settle down more tightly)
  • use just one color
  • use layers of color
  • use many colors
  • sprinkle in some glitter
  • use a variety of chunk sizes or shapes
  • and more
Here I'm making a variety of "all red", "all green" and "green and red"
