Christmas snow is in the air and even in your home when you frost anything with glass with your own craft snow. You can add snow to your candle holders, windows, and flower vases. And this craft snow is all natural, no chemicals or aerosols to worry about, so you can feel safe christmas decorating with this version of holiday craft snow.
Snowy Glass Candle Holders
What you will need:
Epsom Salt White Wine Bowl White Wine Assorted Clear Glass Candle Holders, Glass Globes, or Ornaments Pie Tin or Mixing Bowl Paint brush Candles if desired
To start Christmas decorating with epsom salt craft snow, first you have to make this easy mixture. You pour 12 cup of Epsom salt into a bowl. And then you add enough wine to make slush from the salt.
Next, you hold the glass piece over a large piece of foil or a mixing bowl. This snow mixture can be messy, so the foil will catch any falling mixture. Next, you pat the slush onto the outside of the glass piece as desire with a paint brush. And if the slush starts to slides off, let the glassware dry on one side until the slush begins to harden and then turn the glass over and apply the slush to the remaining area.
Now, you let the glassware dry overnight until the slush hardens. When the time comes and you want to remove the snow, just simply run warm water over the outside of the glass piece and the salt will melt right off.
You can frost any type of glass even your windows in the house. I like to start out layer a lot of slush near the outer edges of the window and slowly lessen the amount so the “snow” looks more natural and pretty. If you want to add a little extra sparkle to any snow object, simply sprinkle silver glitter when the slush is still wet. The craft snow sticks and builds up easier if you start out with a base of snow at the bottom of the glass piece.
You can make a beautiful wintry center piece by placing a large candle with a glass holder covered in the Epson slush and add Christmas lights and tinsel. The salty snow has a dramatic effect against colored glassware, red or blue glass looks most attractive with a snow layer running up the glass surface.
