Blogger Challenge: Week 235

This week’s blogger challenge theme is “ornamental.” I combined the challenge with my Paper Craft Planet Fran*tage Friday project to make this fun shrink plastic snowman ornament.

The snowman from the Merry Snowman set was stamped on white shrink plastic, colored with Copic markers, and cut out. I carefully rolled the cut out image and placed it inside a clear glass ornament. I heated the ornament in my oven, shrinking the snowman to fit inside the ornament. After heating the ornament and shrink plastic piece, I poured a little champagne crushed glass glitter into the bottom of the ornament for a snow-like sparkle, then replaced the ornament’s top. A pretty red bow with a button embellishment dresses up the top.

You can find a more detailed tutorial (including photos) on this project here on the Paper Craft Planet blog. If you leave a comment on the PCP blog post, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a great prize package from Stampendous.
