Family Photo SnowGlobe Memory Ornament

[@tracybroughman8796]

This is beautiful. I teared up at the end when I saw the dedication to your mother in memory of your brothers. They would be so proud of their little sister.

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you, Tracy! They are with my dad in Heaven! It’s just my 90 year old momma and me left of the family of five. The time here is but a grain of sand. Someday, maybe soon, we will be raptured home for an unbelievable reunion!❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@DeborahTurner-ip8zm]

This is magnificent in all its deep royal colors. What a wonderful tribute to one's family. Thank you for this experience. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you

[@BrigetteFranklin]

I love this project! As my 2 sisters and myself are all that has been left of our nuclear family for 22 years now ( and we seem to be aging faster than the years), I want to make these for the 3 of us this year!

[@designsbyJ]

@@BrigetteFranklin, thank you! That’s a great idea that I’m sure your sisters will cherish!

So gorgeous. This is an heirloom gift.

Thank you! My mom keeps it out year round. 🤗

[@blupoppy608]

beautiful, yes, but wondering the cost of all the supplies needed to produce it...thanks for posting

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you, craft supplies are an investment. On small items, like ornaments, a little goes a long way leaving you with product that can be used on dozens and dozens of similar items.

This is just divine . What do you line the mold with to stop the clay sticking , please ? Sorry for your loss , my dear ... and mothers losing children is the worst there is . Regards to your mother -she must be so proud of you ❤❤❤❤

[@designsbyJ]

@@sarahpotts1200, thank you so much for your kind words! I use cornstarch in the molds, but 99% of the time now I use Hearty Soft Clay. It’s an air dry clay, but it stays flexible even after it’s a bit dry, doesn’t break and shrinks less.

That is one of the prettiest Christmas baubles I've seen yet. Been watching one other for a while because I loved her work but since I saw you, I've made the switch lol. You are creative yes but give me a great tutorial and even include the items you use to make a gorgeous "what ever" and I'm sold. Will be sticking with your show like thick and quick for a while lol. Again, beautiful work!!

[@sarahpotts1200]

Tips for affixing the glitter- filled half bauble without spilling everything please ? Not so easy to see how you did it

[@designsbyJ]

@@sarahpotts1200, I sprinkled everything in while the medium I put down first was still wet. You can use an adhesive that dries clear. One I like to use is Pentart heavy body gel.

I want to make one. It’s so beautiful! I don’t see what you used to cover the picture?

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you! I used 1/2 of a smaller ornament to create the snow globe part.

[@Jade-902]

@@designsbyJ that’s brilliant! Thank you 😊

[@alysonsmith6998]

What a beautiful family treasure! Can you tell me what glue you use to lay down the beaded jewelry chain? That is such a great finishing touch!

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you very much, Alyson! I believe I used Aleene’s tacky glue for the metal beading, but you do have to watch it as it can slip down until the glue starts to tack up and dry.

[@Morningsunwoman]

Do you let the iridescent paste and glitter dry before you add the alcohol ink

[@designsbyJ]

No, I didn’t but it all dries quickly and the alcohol inks sped up the drying even more.

[@nurita67]

Un trabajo hermoso me encantó... La pasta azul... Es cera u otro material? Se ve precioso con esas tonalidades ❤️❤️

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you! It is a paste - Pentart Chamelion Paste.

Greetings to you, as well! Thank you for watching my video!

[@suebridges9397]

These are beautiful. Getting ready to order ribbon. What width should I use? Thank you.

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you! I really don’t remember what size I used for this ornament. I did buy it from Hobby Lobby. Lately, I prefer to use HUG SNUG seam binding at 1/2” width which I purchase from Etsy. I show using it in several videos, the latest of which is the Vintage Ballerina oval ornaments. This seam binding will crinkle up once you wet it with water or paint as I did in the video mentioned. Then you scrunch it up and dry it while continuing to wad it up.

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

This is stunning 🤩 if you don’t mind me asking what was that you used to coat your mould with? I’m intrigued 😉

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you, Linda! If I am understanding the question correctly, I dust the molds with cornstarch prior to adding the clay. It aids in an easy release from the mold. Is that what you were referring to?

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

@@designsbyJ yes thank you for answering my question 👏

[@carolk9684]

Hello! These ornaments are absolutely stunning! I am planning on making a couple as gifts. Can you tell me the size of the large ornament? I see you have a link for the small but not the large.. Is this correct? Thanks ever so much. You are super talented - love your work!

[@designsbyJ]

Thank you! Yes, I thought I had bought from Amazon, but in researching my emails, it appears that I bought the bigger ones from Etsy. 🤷‍♀️ I think this link is correct. If you can find a two piece bigger, that would work too, but I did buy from these folks, though, so I’m fairly sure these are the ones. www.etsy.com/listing/1071637710/set-of-3-clear-plastic-disc-ornaments?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=clear+plastic+disk+two+piece+fillable+ornaments&ref=sr_gallery-1-3&organic_search_click=1
