Holiday Deer Ornament

Hello fellow creatives! Oh my I just love holiday creating and boy oh boy, these Amazing Casting Products make it so easy!!!  Michele here to share a quick and easy Christmas ornament I made to use as a gift topper... that can also be used to trim the tree!

Use craft pieces to create ornament shape

Step 1: I started by creating a shape to mold using some various wood pieces. I customized a deer shape by gluing on numbers 2 and 5. 

Create a mold of your ornament with Amazing Mold Putty

Step 2: I sprayed a tiny bit of Mold Release Spray to wood just to be sure the wood wouldn't stick to the mold, then I pressed the piece into a batch of Amazing Mold Putty to create a mold my wood piece. In about 15 minutes the mold is cured and ready to use. Look how great the piece molded!!!

Brush Alumilite Metallic Powder into numbers and antlers of ornament

Step 3: Using a small brush, I added Bronze Alumilite Metallic Powder to the numbers and antlers.

Mix Amazing Clear Cast according to directions and pour into mold

Step 4: I mixed some Amazing Clear Cast Resin according to the package directions and poured into the mold. It is always a good idea to have other molds handy in case you have any resin let so it doesn't go to waste!

Once Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast resin is cured demold from Amazing Mold Putty

Step 5: I set aside for 24 hours to cure and viola!!! Look how great it looks popped right out of the mold.

Finished Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Deer Ornament

Step 6: That metallic bronze is gorgeous! I used my Crop-o-Dile to punch a hole to add a bit of sparkly ribbon to hang the ornament from... easy peasy! This will be perfect from package to tree. What kind of handmade ornaments are you making?
