How to Make
- Draw your globe and design on white paper. Trace it onto tracing paper.
- Take a sheet of A4 White card and cut it in half with a craft knife. Using one half, fold it in half (landscape).
- Trace the globe onto the folded card. The top of the globe must go right up onto the fold.
- Draw 2 vertical lines, 2cm either side of the centre point of the globe, down from the folded edge to the top of the globe.
- Using a craft knife carefully cut the globe shape. Start from the vertical lines and cut around the globe, if easier cut one layer of card at a time.
- Trace the base of the globe onto silver glitter card. Cut it out with a craft knife and stick in position on folded card using the glue stick.
- Take the A4 white glitter sheet and cut it in half. Using the blue metallic paint, create a colour-wash ombre effect over the whole piece. Start at the top of the card with just blue paint, then water down the further you go down the piece of card.
- Trace the globe onto the colour washed card and cut out using a craft knife. Stick into position on a folded card using the glue stick.
- Trace the design onto the globe. Go over it using a black outline pen and if you want to create shadows or colour in areas use felts.
- Transfer the deer and front tree trunk onto colour washed glitter card. Cut out these intricate shapes using a craft knife. Cut pieces of mounting tape to stick on the back of both, remove the backing and stick each on top of their relevant shape in the globe.
- To create the globe border, trace the globe dome shape onto white glitter card. That is your outer line. Draw a 0.6cm border on the inner of the line. Cut out using a craft knife.
- Cut out the mounting tape in pieces to fit all around the globe border. Peel the backing off and carefully position on top of the globe and stick it down.
- On the other half of the A4 white card, draw your sentiment (message). Use felts/outline pen. Draw a light pencil border all around and using a craft knife cut it out.
- Add mounting tape pieces onto the back, peel off the backing and stick onto card.
- To finish off, stick gems onto the centre of the snowflakes on the topper.
