And to think I was about to grab a 1/16" hole punch and start punching out "coins" on gold paper for several days until I had an adequate pile. This method saves my time *AND* sanity. _tips hat_

Happy to hear it helped.

So cool! The end result is pretty amazing!!!

[@MiniatureMarauder]

Reminds me of the scatter terrain I recently did on my channel, but I really like the idea of using parchment paper / tinfoil and mixing it all into some mod podge, so you can forgo the need for a firm flat base. Good stuff brother!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thanks. I'll have to check out your video.

This is amazing. I have everything needed to make this. Proxxon, Modge Podge (I've always called it Modge Podge), Styro, glitter and chain. Thats IT!!!!!

@@NobleKorhedron It's a hot wire foam cutter. I use it in a lot of my builds. Check the link below in my video description and it will take you to Amazon where you can read about/purchase the item if you like. Its a very handy tool, although not necessary for every build.

[@missfortune6174]

I could actually get my granddaughter to make these with me. They have enough glitter to satisfy her craving.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

haha, sounds like a great way to spend some time with her :)

[@evanhughes7609]

My 4yo granddaughter just painted her first miniature, an Air Elemental she christened 'Tiger Tornado'. After basing it up with more flower tufts than you'd normally use on half a dozen figures, she turned to me and asked, "Can we put glitter on it?" 😂

[@missfortune6174]

[@mstarot2793]

I've used seed beads to make small gems. They come in all colors and scale pretty well. Also a few books in a treasure pile will have your mage about to kill himself to get to it. Drow erotica, anyone? Awesome videos.

[@SparkSovereign]

This looks fantastic! Have you had any issues with the glitter, uh, "migrating" during play? I really love how these look but I'm quite wary about some flaking off.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Hi there, thanks! These little flakes are held on by 100% glue. They are solid! If anything breaks off, it will be a big chunk not small flakes (haven't had it happen tho :) )

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

Nice work! Best loot piles I've seen! Also, is that a set of Lone Wolf books I spy in the background?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you!.... and yes they are :)

You're so awesome I'll just HAVE to subscribe to your channel. :D

[@Blitz_99]

Recently found your channel, and i'm loving all your videos. This technique is much better than the way I was going with loot piles, I'm wondering what do you do about all the excess glitter that will come off the finished piece? Or will that not be an issue this way?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Any excess glitter will be in a solid little clump if you drop it after it cures (and they hold up to dropping really well too). This method coats every piece of glitter in Mod Podge and is super solid!

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks.

Sure thing!

[@PolishPrincess74]

Question. Will the chest withstand resin? I am making an underwater "find" and I want to have a treasure chest included.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Sounds like a fun project. This is a pretty quick project especially if you aren't going to be painting it. I would think it would be ok, the glitter holds up pretty well and is locked in place. I'd take a little extra time to tease any bubbles attached to the coins because of all the little air voids. Give it a shot.

[@mauriceshannon5503]

Amazing

[@mikelawrence7030]

It might be a better idea to pour out the amount of glitter you need first, then add the Mod Podge to the glitter.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Give it a try... might be.

[@monsterhobbiesageofsigmar]

Does the Modge-Podge dry out and hold the glitter together, or is it always fluid?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

It hardens and holds the pile together just how you left it to cure. Nice and solid.

[@monsterhobbiesageofsigmar]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thank you. what's the drying time like?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Monster Hobbies Age of Sigmar Battlefield I’d give it 24 hours

[@Nova_vant_harr]

Where did you find the gemstones?

[@tunaboatz2431]

Can I use pva glue instead of mod podge?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Great question. I would recommend that you use Mod Podge when sealing XPS foam. PVA glue is used to glue stuff together. Mod Podge has ingredients in it for: gluing, sealing, and finishing. It'll help protect your project better than PVA glue.
