MAKING A FAUX FLATTIE

What kind of figures have been used with cardboard Christmas houses and villages, where do you get appropriate figures today, how do you make, prepair, repair or otherwise maintain figures?

MAKING A FAUX FLATTIE

Post by maria »

Howard's recent work 'duplicating' zinnfiguren--or rather what's more commonly called tin flats or flatties--got me inspired but in a different direction.

I decided to see what was available out there already pre-cut and came across an ETSY dealer who sells little die-cut silohouettes--this one--see photo--she was able to make the size 2 and a half inches for me. You get about dozen of the silhouettes and "backgrounds". I'll be experimenting with these this weekend--I think I can more dimension by layering the pieces--I am out of super fine glitter--white--which I think will work best

I'm also undecided if I will 'color' these in or leave them as silhouettes--we shall see

Anyway see photo below

At least you don't have to get out the Xacto knife. . . :-)

Yes indeed I am world-renowned for how dangerous I am with an exacto-knife, lol.
