Santa Ivy Bowl
Craft supplies you will need:
4 inch ivy bowl
4 inch clay pot
Model car paints(These paints are great for glass but they need turpentine for clean-up) in red, white, black and blue. You can also use glass paints if you that's what you have around.
Acrylic paints(Red and white)
Peach wrapped candies

1-1/2 inch wooden ball with a flat bottom
Instructions:
1. Paint the clay pot red and the rim white. Paint the wooden ball white too.
2. Now paint the ivy bowl mostly white and leave an opening in the front to paint on the face. For the pink nose and cheeks, you will have to mix white and a drop of red. They don't seem to make model car paints in pink. For the eyes, mix white with a drop of blue (I couldn't find light blue either). Maybe if the model car paint manufacturers know we are using these paints for crafts they will make them in different colors - but then they will probably go up in price too, so let's agree to keep it secret and just mix the colors!
3. Don't paint the face skin tone, leave the glass transparent in this area so that you can see the peach candies on the inside. This would be a great gift for a man or anyone on your gift list. Enjoy!
