Coal fire tutorial

Here's how I did the fire if someone wants to do similar :)

First find red and yellow plastic beads, I've used a Christmas ornament

These beads area quite big, the yellow one is app.3 cm long. Then you put them in a bag and hit well with hammer. Try to get different size of pieces.

Then you start glueing them together, I've used a glue gun.

Then I've painted it with Waco solvent based glass paint, colour Gold

And then you paint it here and there with black, I've used acrylics. Paint it when the glass paint is still wet, so that the acrylic paint won't stick evenly.

Then you need a bulb and paint it with the gold glass paint.

And then you have everything you need

And here's the result

With the Poe house fire I used Modern Options Blackened Bronze Base Coat as the black paint, this is a bottle that I've bought like 10 years ago and it doesn't work too well anymore with the bronze aging stuff, but is excellent paint to use as it'n nice and matt and dries really fast - I hate to throw stuff away :D

Now off to take my son the hockey practise.
