How to Make an Elf Pendant

Today we have another excellent 3-part video demo from Marisol Romero, showing us, step-by step, how to make a friendly Elf pendant (or shelf sitter), using cold porcelain. Marisol is speaking Spanish in these 3 videos but, even if you don't understand what she is saying, you should be able to follow along easily. Every step is clearly shown.

How to Make this Cute Gnome

Materials needed:
Cold porcelain
Styrofoam balls #2 and #3
Toothpicks (for reinforcement)
Paints or colorants for tinting:
