Description

In case anyone was curious, this is how I made this ornament.

1. I started with a single piece of aluminum wire, with a Propoxy base to anchor it. I also wrapped floral wire around it for grip, even though I didn't really need to (because of the foil)

2. Bulked it up with aluminum foil, and then wrapped that with floral wire. Also added a little jump ring so I could attach the jingly bell.

3. First batch of Apoxie Sculpt.

4. Second batch of Apoxie Sculpt, and some Claycrete on the base to look like snow.

5. Painting! I used artists acrylics and also glitter. The North Pole came from the paper straws I have sitting in the background there (I'd always wanted to use them for some sort of project!)
