Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes are back in stock, which means it's time for yet another snack cake-themed craft. This year, I decided to add some earrings to my holiday wardrobe. Need some more snack cake-themed craft ideas? Check out my Christmas Tree Cake Felt Ornament, Swiss Roll Ornament, Christmas Tree Cake Throw Pillow Technique #1, Felt Gingerbread Ornament, Christmas Tree Cake Dress, Christmas Tree Cake Throw Pillow Technique #2, and Christmas Tree Cake Nail Art.
Materials:
Directions:
*Create two Christmas Tree Cake shapes out of clay.
*Poke holes in the tops of each wide enough for your ear wires to fit through. I forgot about the curvature of the ear wire loops when I was poking my holes, so mine ended up not being quite wide enough. Hence the jump rings.
*Bake following the directions on the clay's packaging. Let cool. You should end up with shapes something like this:
*If your clay is a little off-white after baking or there are visible specks in the clay, paint white. Let dry. If you're happy with the look of your clay shapes, you can skip this step.
*Paint on red bands to mimic the stripes on Christmas Tree cakes. Let dry.
*Paint on little green specks for the sugar sprinkles. Let dry.
*Now it's time to add the ear wires. If you've made the holes large enough, you should be able to open up the ear wire loop, slide it through the earring hole, and close it. If not, you may need to add a couple of jump rings first, or even slide a headpin through the hole and then bend it into a triangle.
