English Christmas Pudding Ornament

Make an English Pudding with a plain Styrofoam ball!

Approximate Time: One (1) hour plus overnight to dry

Supplies:

• one (1) Styrofoam ball, any size
• hot glue gun
• one (1) red glass gem/bead
• two (2) artificial flower leaves

• Snow Tex
• white ribbon
• one (1) paper baking cup

Instructions:

1. Paint any size round Styrofoam ball with brown acrylic craft paint, preferably a gloss. Let dry.

2. Create an "icing" effect using Snow-Tex. Lightly sprinkle white glitter over wet Snow Tex. Let dry.

3. Hot-glue a red gem onto the top and garnish with two silk flower leaves. (I always keep pieces and clippings of artificial flowers for projects like this).
    

4. Hot-glue ornament onto a paper baking cup.

5. Hot-glue thin ribbon around the "berry" gem for hanging.
