five ornaments in five minutes

Here is a collection of five pretty Christmas ornaments that I designed using Styrofoam Brand Foam.....

You can view them all and get an overview of the process of how to make them in a quick, five minute video. Watch Candie Cooper demonstrate.....

A few close-ups...

This was quite a neat experience from start to finish. Sharon, the design coordinator for Styrofoam Brand Foam, gave me the assignment - she would like five ornaments, all done in red and white. She gave me the rough draft of what type of ornaments she wanted and then it's my job to flesh them out and bring them to life. This job required not only the finished pieces, but some step-outs for each, as well. Sharon wanted to have a video made and the step-outs help with the directions.

So, I made the ornaments and step-outs and shipped them off to the photography studio. Then, I waited anxiously to see how it would all come together. It's neat to see my little ornaments showing their stuff on a video!

Hope you get a chance to try one or two of them out - let me know if you do! :-)
