- In this video I share tips on using realistic water to create a green river for my St. Paddy's Day display. Some things wen't well...the product cured! No leaking all over the place! Some things were...interesting and unexpected.

Excellent!!! Interesting idea and very creative!!!! Your St. Patrick's Day display is absolutely fantastic - very, very well done!!!
Thank you so much!! I’m still working on the full video for my St Pat’s Display. Can’t wait to share it!
Gallant try! I have never been able to get realistic water to work well in a large area. Plus, I don't find that it holds up well and will shift if you don't store it level. I use it mainly for small areas. I have had success with the "toilet paper and PVA glue" in larger areas. You don't get a "deep pour" but I was able to slant the sides and with paint gave the lake a very dimensional look, including the sense of water movement. This was for a diorama that I did of a lake scene that was about 12 x 12inches. Looks like it was deep in the middle. I plan on using Envirotex, small size, (Amazon) for the river on my husband's train layout. It will be an overall quicker process.
Thank you!! I definitely added some variables that didn’t help 😂😂 thank you for telling me about Envirotex! I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to check it out! I’d like to start adding more water elements to my displays.
Oh my gosh Kelley, I hope you don’t mind me saying this but thanks for the chuckle. I am so glad I am not the only one to make mistakes. Like you said that’s how we learn. I was going to do a harbour last year for my Christmas village and used clear silicone and a painted lake bed. It smelled so bad for weeks and then I just didn’t have time ( or I was scared). Probably the latter. 😂. I am definitely doing it this year. Just need to figure out what method will be best.
Not at all- I frequently laugh at myself as I create. There’s always some level of chaos or minor disaster. It keeps things fun and interesting! And sometimes those mistakes lead to interesting discoveries! Oh yes- when materials and products have a strong smell it’s a huge deterrent for me! It always makes me say…how badly do I want to do this?!🤣 We always find a way for our passion, don’t we?!!
