Spruce up your gift wrapping with an adorable melted snowman gift tag!
I wanted to make some cute, kid friendly, name tags for my Christmas gifts and thought a melted snowman would be quick and flat enough that I would be able to write the "to" and "from" on... and be oh-so-adorable. In south Louisiana, the only snowmen we have are melted ones anyway!
In my stash I have a small bag of mini top hats. No idea why I bought them, clearance I assume. I have had them for several years and darn it – it is time to use them!!
Supplies:
- Amazing Casting Resin
- Alumidust - Pearl
- Silicone Mat
- Small black and orange beads
- Small top hat
Mix up some Amazing Casting Resin (follow directions based on how many snowmen you want to make). I made two the first time so I mixed 15 ML of each part ( using the measuring cup in the box) and scooped up some pearl Alumidust on the end of a craft stick and mixed them all together.
On a silicone mat, pour out 3 puddles of resin for each snowman – each one getting larger than the last. On the smallest one, set the top hat and the beads into the resin. Let cure {this is at about 20 minutes}.
Some of mine ran together, so I picked up the resin before it completely cured and simply cut them apart with scissors. You can reshape your pieces at this point.
I used Allene's Tacky Glue to secure all the pieces together.
Tada!
If you made these tiny enough you could make them into pins or even earrings!
