#5 - My Decoupaged Life {The 13 Crafts of Christmas}

Hello Lines Across my Face readers!! I’m Brittany from My Decoupaged Life and I’m so excited to be here!
A little about me:

I’m a stay at home mom of a 2 year old little girl with one more on the way! I feel like life is like a cardboard box. It looks ok and it does the job. But, add a little decoupaged paper, though, and you’ve got something much prettier! So here I am, decoupaging my life, learning and growing, and adding some pretty paper to make life (at least for me) a little more beautiful!

Today I’m going to be sharing my tutorial on this fabulous and easy glittering snowflake wreath:

Since I live in Houston we don’t actually really get snow here so it’s fun to imagine. Having lived in Utah for eight years I got used to it. Oh well, at least I get to start in the spring while it’s still snowing everywhere else right? 🙂 Let’s get started!
Supplies Needed:

Wreath form
White streamers
wooden snowflake shapes of various sizes
spray glitter
white or light (As in you can barely tell) pink
hot glue gun

Step 1: First you need to make your wreath. I had already made my wreath (like years ago) so I don’t have pictures. But I have a great tutorial here on how to make crepe paper roses. It’s super easy. Just cover your wreath with them.
Step 2: Spray paint your snowflakes. I know the pink isn’t in the supply picture but I decided after I took the picture that I wanted the snowflakes to stand out a little bit. I had this really soft pink spray paint sitting in my garage so I used that. When it dried I shot them with a light coat of white primer: not enough to cover just to soften it a bit more. Let dry.

Step 3: When the snowflakes have dried spray both them and the wreath with glitter. I made the glitter on the snowflakes a little more concentrated. Let dry.

Step 4: Arrange your snowflakes on your wreath how you want them. I really liked the different sizes so I could add them on top of each other for a more 3D look. Hot glue them in place.

Step 5: If you want extra security you can add a little piece of string to the back of the top of the wreath to keep in from falling off the door. Then hang in place and admire your work!
