Wooden figures on pegs decorated with Art Metal paint and deco foil
#v15769
Paint these wooden Christmas figures with Art Metal paint and decorate them further with deco foil details attached with double-sided adhesive power tape and Dodz adhesive dots. Finish by attaching a decorative metal peg onto the bottom of the decorated figure using a glue gun. The wooden figure can now be clipped onto the Christmas tree or be used for decoration on Christmas presents.

How to do it
1 The wooden figures come with a string for hanging. If you want to attach a metal peg onto the bottom of the figure, then cut off the string using a craft knife. Keep the string if you want to use the figure for hanging. Paint the figures with Art Metal paint and black Plus Color craft paint. You don't need to make the lines straight as these areas will be decorated with deco foil.
2 Attach power tape where you want to add the shiny deco foil details. On the nut cracker we have attached power tape around the rim of the hat, along
the top edge of the boots and sleeves as well across the chest for cross-braces.
3 Cut a small piece of deco foil in your chosen colour and rub the back of the deco foil firmly onto the double-sided adhesive tape. Carefully pull off the deco foil sheet. If the deco foil has not transferred completely, just repeat the process and rub on some more deco foil where needed.
4 Attach round Dodz adhesive dots onto the nut cracker for the details on the hat and the shoulders. Use them on the snowman and the elf for buttons and noses. Dodz adhesive dots stick like double-sided adhesive tape. Attach the deco foil by rubbing it on, following the same procedure as described above.
5 Attach a decorative metal peg onto the bottom with a glue gun.
