This will be my fourth year helping out backstage for the West London School of Dance’s annual run of The Nutcracker...and I am so excited! The experience really makes the holiday season for me, and it has been an utter pleasure being part of the crew backstage for this wonderful program.
After seeing this on Pinterest gave me inspiration for doing twist on the traditional paper snowflake project. The ballerina silhouette is so beautiful, and I've used it again and again in my artwork. The drawings from my Prima Donna watercolors collection make the templates for Sugarplum fairies.
Materials:
Ballerina silhouette design
Watercolor paper or some kind of stiff paper
Scissors
Pencil
Crafting glue
Jewelry making Jelly Cord
Needle
Paper
Tracing Paper
Clear Sticky Tape
Blue tack
1)Draw out your ballerina design onto the stiff paper, and cut out.
2) Flip the ballerina cut out and glue onto more stiff paper, cut around the outline to make a thicker cut out.
3) Cut your paper snowflake, with a slip in the centre wide enough for the ballerina cut out to slide through
4) Slipping your ballerina in the snowflake, secure her snowflake tutu into place with the tape
5) Using needle, thread the jelly cord through the ballerina, tying a knot to make a loop.
6) Using blue tack, hang your sugarplum dancing ballerina from a place of your choosing, and enjoy her performance in your holiday season!
