actually, unless you have a REAL problem with silverfish or roaches who CAN eat dried wheat gluten- it's rarely a problem. but the idea solution is to let them dry thoroughly (I'll 'dehydrate' mine in the oven set on 100 degrees for an hour after they're 'dry' to be sure) decorate them, and then hit them with two coats of matte spray finish (or gloss if you prefer) no bug eats plastic :)

I have the Carol Duvall segment where she demonstrated the memory ornaments and I liked the one that looked like a floating photo. It's only going to be wrapped loosely around a pencil long enough to stick it into the globe. The helmet shouldn't be a problem. Her tip: Don't cut the photograph or acetate until you've tried your circle out with scrap paper. Simply cut a hole in the center of a little square of paper. Put it over the ornament and see if the paper rests like a perfectly fitting skirt on the center of the globe. If the ornament slips through the hole in the paper... the hole is obviously too big... if the paper sits higher than center... it's too small. It really does need to be just right for the pictures/acetate to rest perfectly inside the globe. But once you get it right you have the perfect stencil for the rest of your ornaments. When we made them we used sepia tone photographs photocopied onto the rough side of transparencies. We used a laser printer. We then decorated the tops of the glass balls to look Victorian. They were very elegant. My favorite is of my granddaughter's first Christmas... I put a lock of her hair in the globe along with the little beaded bracelet she was wearing in the photo. I sealed the opening so it wouldn't fall out when stored. They're VERY easy to make. Have fun :)

I didn't look at all the links, hopefully this isn't a duplicate.... and I'd never WEAR it, like in the photo, but it's a cool bird! Here is a link that might be useful: Here's another one....
