Ornament Creation Process: A Single Ornament, Strawberry shortcake christmas ornament
The creation of each Strawberry Shortcake ornament begins with a meticulously crafted mold. This mold, made from high-quality silicone, accurately reflects the intricate details of the design – Strawberry Shortcake’s cheerful face, her signature dress, and even the tiny details of her hat. Next, resin is carefully poured into the mold, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped. After curing for 24 hours, the hardened resin ornament is gently removed from the mold.
A skilled artisan then hand-paints each ornament, using high-quality acrylic paints to achieve vibrant colors and precise detailing. Finally, a protective sealant is applied to preserve the paint and add a glossy finish. Each ornament is then inspected for quality before packaging.
