Silly me. I've been shredding envelopes to put in the garden compost and I could have lovely ornaments and gifts for others. These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this idea.

You are brilliant! Would make a very special project to do with the kids, too.

This is marvelous. Have been crafting all my life and I love this. Do you let them dry on their own or use the oven at all? Do you use a special basecoat before you paint?. Full of questions aren't I./Lillian

No oven. In my old house I would lay the form on the floor heater. New house no such thing but in the summer they are dry in a very short time laying outside. I had not used a special base coat in the past, but that may be a good idea and possibly make them last longer.
