Demonstration:
Demonstration by Harry Pye. Turning inside-out ornaments.
Harry has written detailed instructions with pictures. See the link in the Projects menu of the site.
Harry coats the inside of his ornaments with “Rub ‘n Buff” metallic finishes. Available in many shades.
Harry makes his own eye hooks from copper wire and a pair of safety pliers. He uses the pliers to twist the copper wire and snap it. He says snapping provides an end which is less sharp than cutting. Easier to handle.
