Simply cut a small hole in the position of the nose (approximately 6mm in diameter) and using a black biro, draw on some eyes and a friendly smile. Then colour a semicircle of Evolon (6cms in diameter) with acrylic paint, before rolling into a cone shape to form a carrot nose. Push the nose through the hole until it fits snugly […]
Lutradur Illuminated Christmas Trees

They can be painted and decorated with stick on gems, threaded beads, coloured wire, glitter glue, etc. For an extra touch of festive magic, we used battery operated tea lights to illuminate them. We chose Lutradur 70gsm (a medium weight Lutradur for this project) as it’s fairly stiff, yet translucent enough to allow light to pass through it.
