- Paint the Styrofoam ball with White Pearl. (Optional: Use White Modeling Paste to make cheeks on the ball.)
- Use Black Pearl to add the eyes and mouth to the Styrofoam ball. Dab Pink Tourmaline onto the cheeks.
- Use Paper Decou-Page to glue the cone bead onto the ball after pressing it into the foam. Paint the entire head with a thin layer of Decou-Page and sprinkle Crystal Glamour Dust over it.
- Assemble the box by hot gluing the ball onto the lid. Glue the hat on top. Embellish the piece with trim around the base of the head and a gold heart on top of the hat.
