”Sleigh Ride” This is a lovely decoration for the holidays that can even be left out when Christmas is over. The paper napkin design reminds of an old fashioned Christmas and spreads lots of cheer! Snow paste really adds a touch of winter to the decoration when all other steps are completed.     Time required: about 20 minutes for the initial craft and another 6 hours drying time for the snow paste Difficulty Level: Easy Material List: - Plaster of Paris shingle or wooden cutting board - if using a cutting board, you will also need white acrylic paint - paper napkin with an appropriate picture or design - paper napkin applique glue or decoupage glue - iridescent glitter - snow paste like Aleenes “True Snow” - soft paint brush - drill with 4 mm bit - matching satin ribbon Instructions: 1. If you are using a cutting board, you will first need to basecoat it white. 2. Take your paper napkin and cut the design out larger than the shingle itself. Follow the instructions of your paper napkin application glue and apply the napkin to the shingle. If the napkin is too short, you can compensate by applying it about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Snow paint will cover the empty space anyway. 3. Once the glue is dry, add snow paste to any area needing a touch of snow. Add iridescent glitter to the still wet paste and shake off any excess glitter. 4. Let the project completely dry. 5. Drill 2 holes centered in the top of the board and insert the ribbon and make a bow. (You can also choose to hang this decoration as well.)   Paper napkins have sometimes the most wonderful motifs that can be used for such projects.     Home Advent Calendars Angels Basic Christmas Crafts Christmas Around the World Christmas Cards Christmas Carols Christmas Coloring Book Pages Christmas Freebies Christmas Games and Puzzles Christmas in Germany Christmas Recipes Christmas Stories and Poems Christmas Trees Crochet and Knitting Cross Stitch Crafts Decorating Ideas Fabric Crafts Floral Craft Ideas German Christmas Crafts Gift Wrapping Ideas Gingerbread Men Handmade Gifts to Craft and Sew Kids Christmas Crafts Paper Crafts Patchwork & Quilting Reindeer Crafts Santa Crafts Scrapbook Layouts Snowflakes Snowman Crafts Stars Stockings Tags Tree Ornaments Wood Crafts Wreaths             Copyright: If you would like to share Christmas-Projects.com crafts or recipes, please read here before doing so.
