Floral Gem Stone Orbs

This kids craft project shows you how to make a floral gem stone orb. This project is a great groups craft project and is suitable for all ages.

1. Using the palm of your hand, press down on the bottom of each ball to make a flat surface the ball will sit on. Cover balls with thin layer of foam finish, let dry, sand, and repeat. Use any kind of finishing/sealing agent with the balls, like modpod or plaster of paris. But I suggest using Foam Finisher.

2. Once the balls are covered and the right shape, cover them with a glossy black paint and let dry. For easier covering and painting, stick a toothpick in the flat bottom to serve as a handle before adding Foam Finish.

3. Using a clear gem for the center, and five matching colored gems for the petals, cover the large ball with flowers as shown in the picture. Let dry.

4. Glue a blue gem to the top of each small ball. Evenly glue on five flowers to surround the middle of each ball, as shown in photo. Let dry.

5. Use a toothpick and a damp washcloth to gently clean up the balls and remove any glue that dripped. Then place of coffee table, mantle, or in candle holders to display.
