Why

It only takes a few simple shapes and a bit of imagination to make this gorgeous pin to celebrate the season!

Steps

1. Shape white Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ compound into a rectangle and lay it on a paper plate. Round the top with your fingers to form an arch.
2. Form wings and press them on the sides. Fusion™ compound sticks to itself and almost any surface. Roll balls of Fusion naturals colors and press them onto the angel to make the face and hands.
3. Twist a thin white Fusion roll with a red roll to make a tiny striped candy cane. Press it into the angel’s hands. Fusion dries to the touch overnight and is completely dry in 2 to 3 days.
4. Draw a face on your angel with Crayola Fine Line Markers. Decorate the body with Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paints and Glitter Glue to make it sparkle. Make hair with Squeezables curlicues.
5. Cut a small square of cardboard with Crayola Scissors. Attach decorative ribbons for the background of your pin with Crayola No-Run School Glue. Glue the angel on top of the ribbons. Glue a pin back to the cardboard. When the glue has air-dried, the angel is ready to wear or give as a gift.
