And what a better time for a recharge and break to play than during the busy and hectic holiday season. “Creative play energizes you and gets you back to the joy of making art, unpressured and without a deadline,” says Lilla. Check out the full Periscope here on Katch. Here’s your step-by-step guide on making your own gumdrop holiday ornament.

1. Some things you will need before you get started are gumdrops and/or candies from your local shop. Glitter, glue, glue gun and a papier-mâché or styrofoam ball from a craft supply shop.

2. Then, you simply take the hot glue gun and squeeze one row of glue around the ball in one line.  Then, start adding the gumdrops or other candies in the row and continue until you cover the ball.

3. Next, sprinkle the glitter onto a plate. Dot the ends of the gumdrops with a dab of glue. Then, kiss the ends of the gumdrops into the glitter.

4. Some balls already come with a hanging loop, but if not, take a paperclip and simply insert into the styrofoam ball. Then straighten out the end and shape it into a hook.

Join Lilla next Tuesday afternoon (ET) Dec. 15th on periscope for some creative play to recharge! Watch the whole video here and follow along. Lilla also chats about creativity, art careers, and her courses.
