Do you BELIEVE in MAGIC?

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

Deco Art AMERCANA

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

DecoArt Crystal Glamour Dust Glitter 

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"

Deco Art

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."
