My name is Cinnamon Willis and I am going to show you how I created this ornament! I had some left over plaster disks laying around after working on another project and I wanted to see if I can get some use out of them. You won't need plaster to make this ornament, you can just use some foil, paper or whatever you would like to use for the middle and cover it with the Creative paperclay.</span></p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /><br />Supplies:<br /></span><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Creative Paperclay®</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Acrylic paint</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Sanding paper</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Aleene's Original Tacky Glue</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Exacto knife</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Wool or whatever you would like to use for hair</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Pliers</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Flexible wire</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXFpBYphMWVxfkKRugHUqXP4QFa3KtHrpFzJaal-qP1d-_CgULTmKzAD16rPX7K4jkMT1u2Z08ZthxHTGjeshG5SejevzPScCqN1mWo4KPZ83sDSHkEcO9h9l6vXXaDDyxD-Mvdiz29w/s1600/IMG_20191116_012301.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXFpBYphMWVxfkKRugHUqXP4QFa3KtHrpFzJaal-qP1d-_CgULTmKzAD16rPX7K4jkMT1u2Z08ZthxHTGjeshG5SejevzPScCqN1mWo4KPZ83sDSHkEcO9h9l6vXXaDDyxD-Mvdiz29w/s320/IMG_20191116_012301.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNSaddwuGnJzWsn1DFIqJVNQvxit7ksjIvu15sTjex9WhDYgvRpsBavuSmyvsaVsx_eRHNqgiI00eMdiW60woOappiD9hJ36Oi_qqzS57DIsuXxJT2xNUkKAGA0QOp9SyvX1SxRvamjPI/s1600/IMG_20191116_012346.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNSaddwuGnJzWsn1DFIqJVNQvxit7ksjIvu15sTjex9WhDYgvRpsBavuSmyvsaVsx_eRHNqgiI00eMdiW60woOappiD9hJ36Oi_qqzS57DIsuXxJT2xNUkKAGA0QOp9SyvX1SxRvamjPI/s320/IMG_20191116_012346.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /><br />This is some left over plaster from a previous project, I let it cure in the bottom of a plastic cup so that I could get this disk shape and use it later.
