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.)
