O.k, sorry, did'nt see the album right next too this one explaining the brick molds! heehee.

Gosh you guys Im sorry for not replying right away,

I wanted my dollhouse exterior in bricks but the price of miniature bricks was too much for me so I found a rescipe online for making miniature bricks and for about 15 dollars you can make a few hundred bricks. I made a grid out of wood 5 bricks high by 15 bricks across and spread the wet brick cement evenly and after they dried each brick popped out pretty easily. Here's the rescipe..

1. 7 lb box POLYBLEND Sanded Grout

in Winter Grey color

2. 32oz bottle QUIKRETE concrete

acrylic fortifier

3. 10oz bottle QUIKRETE Terra Cotta

Cement Color no 1317

4. Water based black paint

5. Follow the directions on the

concrete fortifier to mix the bricks

6. For variation of brick color add the

black water based paint to the mix.

this looks awesome! what a great idea :thumb:
