Use scissors to cut & trim HeatForm to create a unique gauntlet. Shape pieces of HeatForm to embellish the gauntlet and create a "setting" to embed a faux jewel. Finish it off with Plaid paints.
Description:
HeatForm, by Environtmental Technology, Inc. (ETI) is a heat-activated thermo-plastic sheet material. When heated, it becomes soft & pliable, so you can shape it to decorate your gauntlet. Once cooled, HeatForm becomes semi-rigid, yet durable & locks into it's new shape.
We supply everything you need. You are welcome to bring other small items (e.g., beads, crystals, stones, etc.) to "attach" to your gauntlet using the HeatForm to create a "setting."
Please note: You will be working with scissors, heat guns & warm HeatForm in this class. Children are welcome but must be supervised.
