How to Make a Brass Christmas Star

Let's make our own brass Christmas Star for the tree DIY. First, let's
prepare a sand mold with a wooden star. Then we melt some brass on the foundry, we pour it on the mold. We cut excess with the saw. Then we file the star and sand it.

Then we get a shiny, heavy star.

I use a mix of beach sand and clay.

Put green sand on your mold frame and smash it. You have to put layers of 1cm and then smash it.

When you have fill the frame and smash it well. Use a stick to remove sand excess. Use the frame as a guide.
