Jean here today! I live in Michigan and sometimes it seems that we get more than our fair share of snow. But I have to say, nothing is prettier than the glistening and sparkly snow on a frosty winter day. Today I want to share with you this glittery snowflake project which is perfect for your front door.
I started with wood pieces as follows:
6 – 12 inch pieces with pointed end (A)
12 – 5 inch pieces with one slanted end (B)
12 – 3 inch pieces with one slanted end (C)
These are about 1/4 inch thick.
For this project you will need Helmar PVA Professional Wood Working Glue, Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA Glue, and Helmar Crystal Kote Gloss Spray.
Using the Wood Working Glue, affix the shorter pieces on the longer ones to look like arrows
Paint all of the pieces white. Once dry apply glitter using the Craft and Hobby Glue. Spread a good coat of the glue and sprinkle liberally.
After the glitter has dried, glue the centers of the arrows together with the Wood Glue. I used a scrap circle of wood on the back to hold them securely. Allow to dry completely. I sprayed each piece of the snowflake with Crystal Kote to help prevent the glitter from falling all over and to protect it from the elements. You can decorate the center if you wish.
I used a poinsettia and a lovely snowflake ribbon for the center. And here is the finished project. I think this is the perfect tough for the front door!
Is it cold and snowy by you? Why not get out your glue and glitter and make your own decorative snowflakes! No wood available? You could recreate this on a smaller scale with cardboard.
