I love snowy trees. Unfortunately, I live in an area where
we don’t get snow. Ever. So I thought I’d make my own.
These little cuties can make awesome little placecards for
the holiday table, and use some very simple materials.
The trees are made of simple stacks of snowflakes – I used a
glue gun to adhere the “branches” together. The tree trunks are old spools
wrapped with twine and tinsel. One trunk is actually a tiny bottle filled with
more Diamond Dust.
The key to the snow effect is the glue – I used the Helmar
450 Quick Dry because it is stringy! And that’s what you need for the dripping
ice. Use a liberal amount and “hang” glue from branch to branch to create the
look of icicles in the trees and add a good toss of the Diamond Dust. The
Diamond Dust will harden in the glue strands, shake off the excess.
Just a tiny bit of winter magic for the new year. Stop back
again, there’s always something new going on at the caravan!
