How to Create Ice Drops on Christmas Decor
- 1). Fill a 6-inch wide and 2-inch deep square dish with gray craft clay. Smooth the clay with your fingers so it does not have any air bubbles or cracks.
- 2). Press a plastic dowel with a rounded end into the clay three times to make three indentations. Make one indentation 1/4-inch deep, another 1/2-inch deep and another 1-inch deep.
- 3). Spray the clay with a mold-separating agent. A mold-separating agent is a compound sculptors use when casting objects because it prevents the cast and the mold from sticking.
- 4). Place a half a pinch of silver glitter into each mold. Line the inside of the hole sparingly with the glitter.
- 5). Pour hot glue from your hot glue gun into each hole. Allow the glue time to dry and then pull the three pieces of glue from the clay with metal tweezers. The glue will retain the shape of the hole and have small spots of glitter that make it shine.
- 6). Cut away any stings of hot glue sticking to the casted glue. Use regular scissors to remove the troublesome strings.
- 7). Clean the bottom of your decoration with a thick cloth. Place three small dots of hot glue onto the bottom of the decoration and stick the casted 'ice drops' in place over the dots.
