MAKIN® FROSTY by Patricia Krauchune
|
One of my favorite things about Makin's Clay® is the versatility of being able to form something over plastic. I
took a simple clear plastic ornament and made it into this cute little snowman. Let me show you how...
Materials:
Plastic Bulb: (Michael's)
|
Beacon™ Fast Finish Decoupage
|
Plastic Hat
|
Beacon™ Quick Grip™
|
Plaid® Sparkle Mod Podge®
|
Krazy® Glue
|
Glitter / Orange Paint
|
Jewelry Thread
|
Makin's Clay®: White/Red/Black
|
Paper towels
|
Makin's Professional® Ultimate Clay Extruder®/Disc Set C #3
|
Makin's® Professional Cutting Mat
|
Makin's® Push Mold: Christmas Decor
|
Instructions:
Extrude some white Makin's Clay®
using the Makin's Professional®
Ultimate Clay Extruder® with the Discs
Set C #3 disc. I used some damp paper
towels on my work surface to keep the
clay moist. Wrap around the plastic bulb
and let dry overnight.
Mix some glitter in Beacon's™ Fast Finish Decoupage and use the mix to secure the wrapped clay onto the bulb. When dry, add a second coat to the bulb of Plaid® Sparkle Mod Podge®. Let dry overnight.
Cut a small piece of the dried extruded clay and with a craft knife trim to look like a "carrot". Then paint the "carrot" orange.
Make two red bows using the Christmas Decor Push Mold .
Brush some Beacon's™ Tacky Glue to the top metal part of the bulb then wrap with some white clay to form the snowman's head. Let dry. Attach the jewelry thread to the bulb hanger.
Drill a small hole in the top of the plastic top hat. Pass the jewelry thread through the hole in the top hat. Now glue the top hat to the head with Beacon™ Quick Grip. Add a small band of red clay to the top hat and one of the red bows with the Tacky Glue. Glue the other red bow under the snowman's chin. At this point, using Krazy® Glue, I glued the "carrot" nose on and cut up small pieces of dried black clay for the eyes and mouth to resemble coal.
When the face parts were totally dried, I added another coat of Sparkle Mod Podge.
So here he is, ready to hang on your tree. Happy Holidays from Makin's Clay® and Frosty.
