Quick Tip Tuesday - Make Your Own Craft Snow

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:

• White Glue
• Shaving Cream*
• Paintbrush

*Note: I first tried to use my Skintimate moisturizing cream shave and it didn't work very well, I'm guessing because the cream doesn't really foam.

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!!
