"  The blogger: Brittni Mehlhoff, papernstitchblog.com The project: &amp;quot;My office can look like a tornado hit, so I crave crafts that help me stay organized,&amp;quot; says Mehlhoff. For this nifty nautical paperweight, the Jacksonville, Florida, artist relied on a pair of silicone candle molds. STEP ONE: Following package instructions (and wearing rubber gloves), mix pottery plaster powder ($5.57 for 10-pound bag; dickblick.com) and cold water. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter.  STEP TWO: Slowly pour into each mold (anchor mold, $12; firstimpressionsmolds.com; round base mold, $5.75; thesage.com) until the mixture reaches just to the mold&amp;#039;s top. Let dry for one hour.  STEP THREE: Gently remove the hardened weights from their molds. Let the plaster set for one day, then spray the front and back of each weight with a clear shellac ($9.49; doitbest.com). Allow an hour of drying time, then paint the weights with gold liquid leaf ($3.55; misterart.com); let dry for another hour. Coat each piece again with shellac and, after an hour, attach the anchor to the base using superglue.If holes don&amp;#039;t exist, drill one in each corner.
