Join Cheryl Boglioli for an exciting hands-on workshop during Bella Crafts Publishing's Holiday Craft-A-Thon, where you'll learn how to craft beautiful, long-lasting ornaments that will become cherished family heirlooms. Using a simple Styrofoam ball as your base, you'll transform it with Powertex, a unique liquid sculpting medium, and bring your creativity to life!

In this class, you’ll:

  • Discover how to use Powertex to sculpt and coat your ornament(s) for durability.
  • Add dimensional elements for stunning, eye-catching designs.
  • Learn drybrushing techniques to highlight texture and details, making your ornament truly one-of-a-kind.

Whether you’re looking to add personal touches to your holiday décor or give handmade gifts that will be treasured for years, this workshop will leave you inspired and ready to spread holiday cheer. No experience is necessary, so come with your imagination and let’s get crafting!

**** Note: The photos shown are examples of what can be created. Your class ornament may vary, and you’ll have the freedom to customize your design to reflect your personal style.

Supply List needed:

  • Styrofoam ball(s). I prefer Smoothfoam** balls if you can find them.  These are easier to work 
  • Ribbons and/or Fibers from your stash
  • Powertex Ornament Kit (Basic or Upgraded kit - see below for links to purchase)
  • Optional items:
    • fibers and/or fabric scraps
    • medical gauze
    • acrylic paints if using basic kit

We've curated a Basic Kit and an Upgraded Kit for you to choose from below.  The basic kit is the very basics and can be further embellished using your own fibers and acrylic paints.  The Upgraded kit includes most everything you need excluding the Styrofoam ball and some ribbon.

These kits will make multiple ornaments and is a fun project to do with your family, but during the class, I'll also show other projects you can continue to make with the products included and more. 

 

 

If you love making the ornaments, consider using other colors of the Powertex Universal Medium for even more variety.  Example: The Powertex Universal Medium in Red makes very festive traditional ornaments.
