LBH 12 Days of Ornaments: Day #6

Hello,

 Rhonda Merry again...

 I'm back with another wonderful ornament for you!
It is "snow" easy to create!!

Glistening Snowflake

 Here is what you need to gather:

1. Vintage Wood Doilies by Maya Road
2. Folk Art Acrylic Paint, Champagne
3. Viva De Core Pearl Pen: Transparent or White
4. Spray adhesive
5. Craft Decor Diamond Sugar Dust
6. "messy mat" or "messy box"
7. craft mat

You can do either one side or both. Doing both will take a

little longer because you want to make sure your 

pearls are completely dry before working on the 

other side of your snowflake.

We are going to start with the decorating.

I just used dots and a few lines,

this will give some texture to our snowflakes.

set in a safe spot to dry.  It will take about

2 to 2-1/2 hours.  If you have large dots dry time 

will be a little longer. I noticed that the Transparent Pearl Pen

was milky looking when starting and dried to look clear.

 Next turn over and repeat for the second side of the snowflake.

Now paint your snowflake with the

Champagne paint and let dry completely.

Here is a little tip:

Do NOT overload  your brush.

Too much paint on the brush will clog up

the cut details of your wood doilies.  

Instead, dip your brush into the paint and swipe the
excess onto a clean spot of your paint palette. Do this
each time you need more paint and you will only have a few
if any holes to unclog. Also, paint using a circular motion which
will help to cover the raised areas evenly.

Now we are going to give our snowflake a good
spray with the spray adhesive. Do one side at a
time and spray in a well ventilated area, away from

anything that could get hit with the castoff.

(I usually take my projects outside.

I also spray over a "messy mat/box)

Move sticky snowflake to your craft mat and give 

it a generous coating of Diamond Sugar Dust.
By using our craft mat we can later make a funnel
to put the excess glitter back into the bottle.

Tap off excess Sugar Dust. 

 Add an ornament hanger using one of the 

many holes already on your snowflake and...

 hang on your tree.

See how easy that was...and the result is

a beautiful Glistening Snowflake.

With all of these new ornaments you might need an extra tree.  Remember
to become a follower and leave me a comment for your chance to win this Glistening Snowflake by

Mine is when the school day has been canceled and the kids and I
sit down to watch a marathon of movies with hot chocolate
and our heavy quilts.

 Merry Crafting!
