Behind the Craft: Dragons, Hauls & Frogs – A Week of Creative Chaos Wk21

Hey Crafty Crew! 👋
It’s been a whirlwind of creativity, colour, and a bit of crafty chaos over here at Kirnix HQ. This week’s projects took us from mythical dragons to mysterious boxes of goodies, and ended with a cheeky amphibian friend who actually behaved for once (mostly). If you missed anything—or just fancy a little behind-the-scenes peek—here’s what went down in our wonderfully weird world of resin, Aquacast, and unexpected laughs.


🔥 Monday – Dragon Candle Holder Chaos (But Make It Magical)

We kicked off the week with a bold and messy adventure into Aquacast territory. Armed with paints, brushes, and a slightly temperamental dragon mould from Temu, we poured our way through a sculptural candle holder that gave us all the fantasy feels. Between paint choices, mould drama, and a bit of mix mishap, this project was everything we love about crafting: unpredictable, a little chaotic, and totally rewarding.

This beastly candle holder now guards our craft table—and possibly our snacks. Watch how we brought it to life below:

📦 Wednesday – The Temu Haul That Could Have Eaten Us

We may have gone overboard. The box was huge. The items? Endless. This Temu craft haul included resin moulds, DTF stickers, faux leather, wax seals, washi tape, and at least one thing we forgot we ordered. Join us as we react in real time to this chaotic craft treasure chest, share our impulsive ideas (some better than others), and try to figure out where on earth we’re going to store everything.

This video is pure, unfiltered crafting excitement. Grab a cuppa and come hang out while we explore the wild world of online shopping for art supplies:

🐸 Friday – Froggy Friday Returns (Now With Slightly Less Resin Meltdown)

Our Larimar-style base actually worked this time! 🎉 And on top of it? A delightfully sparkly Aquacast frog. Froggy Friday is our weekly excuse to make adorable (or sometimes chaotic) amphibians, and this week we brought the glitter, the giggles, and some surprisingly smooth colour blending. There were flashbacks to our past Larimar fails, plenty of cheeky banter, and just enough resin drama to keep things interesting.

Whether you’re a frog fan, resin enthusiast, or just here for the banter—this one’s a feel-good watch.

Final Thoughts

This week was full of unexpected moments, big laughs, and more than a few “wait, what is that?” reactions (thanks, Temu). We loved diving into each of these projects and sharing the process with you. Whether it’s experimenting with eco-resin, exploring mythical creatures, or unboxing more craft supplies than we probably need—we’re just happy you’re along for the ride.

If you’re feeling inspired, give one of these projects a go—and don’t forget to tag us if you share it! We love seeing what you’re making.
