Christmas Characters in tiny jars

I bought these tiny jars a while ago and I couldn't think what to do with them, and then I got the idea to put some tiny characters inside of them and make them into christmas tree decorations. (They are very small, the jar opening is about 10mm) I think that next time if I made more I would use jars with a larger opening! That is why the snowman has somewhat stumpy arms haha! 

I made the characters out of white Milliput and then I painted them. Milliput is ideal because it's air drying so it would dry in the bottom of the jars to create the snow, and its super hard so it is easy to paint.

 

  

 

Shrink plastic bunch of flowers

These tiny flowers are made from shrink plastic, both clear and white coloured. I cut them out using various flower punches, and coloured either the back or the front with watercolour pencils or coloured permanent pen. The flowers start out about 15mm big and when heated with a heat gun shrink to about 6mm and the coloured pencil or pen shrinks down too making the colour more vibrant!

I'm pleased with the effect, however the process can be a bit fiddly!
