Hi everyone and welcome to another Quick Tip Tuesday! Today my tip is a seasonal one - how to make craft snow! And it couldn't be easier :)
I purchased a "snow pen" to add touches of snow to my winter projects, but I haven't been happy with the results. No matter how much I use, the coverage is spotty. So I started searching for an alternative and found dozens of websites with the instructions on how to make your own craft snow. Most of the websites were for children's craft projects, but the results looked so awesome, I had to try it for myself!
What You Will Need:
Mix equal parts white glue and shaving cream. Stir until thoroughly mixed and foamy.
Using a paint brush, add foam snow to your project.
I added quite a bit to my snowman, just to show the results. The mixture dries into a fun puffy velvety cottony texture! I dabbed mine on for a more textured look, but you could make it smooth as well. I used a thicker cardstock and while it did curl when I first added the snow, it flattened out as it dried.
I hope you enjoyed this tip for making your own craft snow! Thanks so much for stopping by today and please stop back tomorrow for Wednesday's Winners!!

Lisa that's awesome! When it dries does it stay on? I would love to try it on some cards. Love the effect!

ReplyDeleteLisa, that's such a great idea! I'm going to give it a try using my husbands shaving cream. If it isn't bad enough I use his razor he will be thrilled to know I'm using his shaving cream for crafting! LOL, love it! ;)

It does stay on but since it is dimensional it can get scratched off. I have also add food coloring with the glue to make pastel colors to paint other shapes with "fluffy paint"
