Simple Tips for Using Glitter Without Making a Mess
I know what you're thinking. Glitter is messy. And while this is true, that doesn't have to be the outcome for your craft. These easy tips can contain the glitter so you don't have to worry about cleaning it up later.
- Put a cardboard box down on the table and use that space to add your glitter to your craft. Once done, toss out the cardboard box and glitter.
- Lay down a newspaper and then throw that away once the glitter is added.
🎨 Supplies Needed
🖌️ How to Make This Disney Moana Craft
- Step 1: Download the free printable Moana Mickey Head template. Print each of the pages from the 8 page template on the correct color of card stock. The color is listed at the top of each page. You’ll have extra pieces, so you can use them to make more than one Moana craft.
- Step 2: For each Moana ornament, cut out 2 ears and 1 each of the other pieces. Glue the ears behind the head and the other pieces to the front.
- Step 3: Add black glitter to the ears and red glitter to the stripe.
- Step 4: Make a hanger by looping a piece of twine and gluing it to the back of the ornament. Let the ornament dry completely, and then Moana is ready to be proudly displayed.
💡 Pro Tip: Incorporate subtle glitter accents on the necklace or sash to catch light and add a festive sparkle without overwhelming the design.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Base Layering: Begin with a solid tan or beige base to represent Moana's skin tone, ensuring a neutral foundation for additional colors.
- Dress Accents: Apply a vibrant red for the sash and a patterned cream for the skirt, mimicking traditional Polynesian attire and adding depth.
- Hair Definition: Use dark brown or black for the hair, incorporating subtle highlights with lighter shades to create texture and movement.
- Accessory Highlights: Introduce turquoise or teal elements to represent Moana's necklace, providing a striking contrast against the warmer tones.
- Facial Features: Utilize fine-tipped tools to add expressive eyes and a gentle smile, bringing character and warmth to the ornament.
- Edge Outlining: Outline key components with a slightly darker hue to define shapes and enhance visual clarity.
