and, these…
it’s beginning to look a lot like, well, christmas.
home is…christmas collections {more to come}.
Fun!
Steph – what is a blow mold? Sounds like a process for making the figures, but what is the material used?
from wikipedia…
“Blow molding ( BrE moulding ) is a manufacturing process by which hollow plastic parts are formed. In general, there are three main types of blow molding: extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and injection stretch blow molding. The blow molding process begins with melting down the plastic and forming it into a parison or in the case of injection and injection stretch blow moulding (ISB) a preform. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end through which compressed air can pass.
The parison is then clamped into a mold and air is blown into it. The air pressure then pushes the plastic out to match the mold. Once the plastic has cooled and hardened the mold opens up and the part is ejected.”
So fun and festive! I love how you display your Christmas cards!
Thank you! I have displayed them differently every year…usually on one of our large chalkboards or bulletin boards.
Love the garland hanging in one of your pictures!
I love blow molds. They are one of those timeless pieces of Christmas decor history.
