Cream Glue Tips: Application and Drying Success 🧑‍🎨

Working with whipped cream glue (also known as decoden cream) is incredibly fun, but it requires a few specific techniques to ensure your ornament looks professional and lasts for years!

Applying the Cream Glue

Practice First: If you are new to cream glue, try practicing squeezing lines onto a piece of wax paper first. This helps you get a feel for the pressure needed.
Keep the Tip Clean: Wipe the decorating tip as needed! This prevents dried glue chunks from clogging the nozzle and messing up your beautiful lines.
Outline the Edges: For a cleaner finish, start with the edge of the ornament before filling in the large middle areas. This helps contain the glue.

Drying and Curing

Patience is key! Cream glue must be fully cured to harden correctly.

Cure Time: Allow the ornament to dry completely for 24 to 48 hours. Do not touch or move it during this time.
Ventilation: Dry the ornaments in a well-ventilated area, as the glue often has a slight odor while curing.

Whipped Cream Glue Santa Ornament Craft Checklist 🎅🏼

Materials

Unfinished Wood Ornaments (any shape you like!)
Red and Black Whipped Cream Glue (with piping/decorating tips)
Gold Embellishments (e.g., small gold beads, sequins, or glitter) for the belt buckle
Jump ring or festive ribbon for hanging

Instructions

Plan Your Design: Mark where Santa’s “belt” will be on the ornament—usually two parallel lines across the middle.
Create the Belt: Carefully squeeze the black whipped cream glue between the marked parallel lines to form Santa’s belt.
Add the Buckle: While the black glue is still wet, place your gold embellishments in the center of the black strip to create the belt buckle.
Form Santa’s Suit: Cover the rest of the ornament above and below the belt with the red cream glue, leaving a clean line where the black belt is.
Final Embellishments: Add any other desired embellishments (like sequins on the red suit) to the wet glue.
Let it Dry: Set your ornament aside on a flat surface and let it dry completely for 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated area.
Admire and Hang: Once fully cured, attach a jump ring or ribbon and hang your unique Santa ornament on the tree! 🎄
