Instructions
- Using the circle stencil, cut out a circle from the adhesive stencil sheet. Cut the stencil out with a craft knife.
- Place the circle stencil in the center of each glass vase and smooth. Using the 5/8'' dauber, paint the circle with red. Remove the stencil immediately while the paint is wet, wash, and let dry. Repeat.
- When the red is dry, stencil "HO" on each of the vases in the center of the circle, using the white enamel paint. Peel the stencil up immediately. Fill in the letters where the line is broken with a liner brush.
- Basecoat the dowel rods with Wicker White. Let them dry. Wrap the ¼'' masking tape around the dowels as shown, forming a spiral like a candy cane. Paint the dowels with Acrylic Lipstick Red. Remove the tape immediately and let the rods dry.
- Cut the trim off the bottom of all three Santa hats. Measure the foam cones and sew the sides of the hat so that it will fit snugly on the cone. Hot glue it if you don't have a sewing machine. After you've sewn down the hat to make it smaller, trim the excess fabric.
- Pick up the trim that you cut off; cut it and open up flat. Cut a piece of quilt batting to wrap around the cones. Hot glue in place. Place the sewn hat down over the cone and the quilt batting. Hot glue the white trim back around the base of the hat and cut as needed. Then use your adhesive stencil to make circles on the hat using your Acrylic Lipstick Red paint. Let dry.
- Cut a piece of styrofoam from scraps and glue to the bottom of a vase with hot glue. Stick dowels into the bottoms of cones - then stick the dowel rod into the foam piece in the vase. Fill the vases with candy canes and polyfil to complete the look!
