1. Use Paper Magiclay to create the shape of Una. You will need to make sure that she is small enough to fit inside the plastic bauble. We have provided a template on page 10 to make this step easier. Allow the clay to dry.
2. While the clay is drying, paint the inside and outside of your plastic bauble black. You may require a few coats of paint. Allow to dry between coats and then allow to dry completely.
3. Cover your work area with a splash mat or scrap paper and place the bauble opening down. Wet your fan brush with water and then load it up with white paint. Hold the brush above the bauble and tap it against you hand so the paint spatters over the bauble like a galaxy of stars. Continue until the outside is completely spattered then allow to dry.
4. Use giant popsticks to mix blue and purple metallic paints with gloss finish in individual paper cups. We used a ratio of 1:1. You will only need a small amount of each colour for 1 bauble.
5. Keeping your work surface well covered, place the blue and purple mixtures onto the bauble, then pour a small amount of gloss finish over the top to help the paints mix and flow over the surface. Use a popstick to help swirl the paint and gloss until the entire outside of the bauble is covered. Leave to dry making sure to prop the bauble up so it’s not sitting flat on a surface.
6. Allow the bauble to completely dry. This will take at least 24 hours. You want the surface to be clear and shiny and for the tackiness of the gloss to have completely gone.
