When my children were small
I used to tell them
SANTA
comes to
ALL
who
BELIEVE
Each year I set out to
MAKE THE MAGIC
of
CHRISTMAS
happen
And so .....
this year will be no different.
Step inside
my
STUDIO
and
I will show you what I have been working on
Today I am going to show you how to make
SNOW LADIES
These are a fun easy project
I make several of these every year
to give as gifts
First gather your supplies
Supplies
WHITE satin Christmas balls, white fur boa, craft ribbon , sprigs of holly, berries, stylus, glue gun, pink powder blush, Americana Acrylic Sealer/ Finisher Matte Spray
Paints
Lamp Black, Burnt Orange, Heritage Brick, Snow White
I free hand painted the faces on but you can lightly sketch them on with a pencil
Base the eyes using Lamp Black, when dry add the highlights with Snow White.
Add the eyebrows and lashes with Lamp Black
Paint the nose using Burnt Orange, shade with Heritage Brick, when dry add some
snow to the top of the nose with Snow White.
Dot the mouth on using your stylus and Lamp Black. When dry add a highlight to the Lamp Black mouth dots with Snow White
I add "color " to the cheeks using powered blush and a q-tip
When dry LIGHTLY spray your ornaments
using
Deco Art
Americana Acrylic Sealer/ Finisher Matte Spray
Tip when spraying!!!
*** Do not spray directly ON your ornaments....rather spray into the air OVER them and let the midst fall on your ornaments ***
While the Matte Spray is still wet I sprinkle on
for
sPaRkLe
Cut a small piece of ribbon for hanging and thread thru the top of ornament.
Use your glue gun to line glue around the top of the ornament hanger immediately add a small piece of white boa all around the top of the silver hanger.
I added a
small
GLITTERED HOLLY LEAF
AND
RED BERRIE
to my snow ladies hair
I always look for unusual boxes and wrappings every year for my gifts
to make them look special
and
"MAGICAL"
provided me with the paints to complete this project as part of their
Helping Artist
and
Blogger Outreach
programs.
Thank you Deco Art!
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial!
Happy Painting !

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.
Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness,
and
at the end of the day you don't look at it
and
wish you had painted something different."

ReplyDeleteYour welcome ! Have fun!
DeleteWhere did you find your white satin Christmas balls. Most of the ones I’m seeing are the ones that are covered in the satin type material not actually painted with a satin ginish.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the satin balls at?
ReplyDeleteI got the balls at Michaels Craft Store
