Glittery Holiday Centerpiece
Make a glittery centerpiece with dramatic flair for your winter holiday table! The whole family can join in on the decorating fun.
1. Make your holiday centerpiece in any holiday theme. Use your imagination and craft materials to suit! Here is how the stately tree in the picture was made.
2. Roll out slabs of Gold Glimmer, Red Sparkle, and Silver Crystal colors of Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ compound. Cut out at least 15 shapes with holiday cookie cutters. Set them aside to dry for 3 days.
3. Wrap a 14-inch or larger foam cone in silver ribbon or aluminum foil. Glue in place with Crayola School Glue.
4. Arrange several CDs into a platform to fit under the cone. Roll or press a red Fusion slab that is wider than the base of your cone. Form scallops or other decorative edges. Press on top of the CDs. Then press the cone on top of the base.
5. If you like, add feathers for a soft touch around the bottom. For glittery highlights, "ice" your dry holiday shapes and the base with Crayola Glitter Glue. Air-dry the glitter.
6. Use glue, bits of toothpicks, or wire to attach shapes to the cone. Be imaginative with their placement. If you have stars, put one on top for a traditional look. Air-dry the glue.
7. Surround your tree with festive greens, holiday ribbon, or little gift boxes decorated with Fusion compound. This project makes a great holiday gift, too!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
