Let it snow!


I LOVE going home to Minnesota, especially for Christmas.  Time with family, friends, hot chocolate, sledding and snowshoeing...oh wait, there isn't a drop of snow back home and none in the forecast.  OMG.  When I found this out last night (after checking the 10 day forecast) I HAD A MOMENT.  I went to bed singing 'Let it snow', and woke today still singing it.  I marched to my craft closet and the minute I spotted the red spray paint and blank canvas knew I had to get to work, in hopes of creating a little treasure that would wake the snow Gods and get there arses into gear (before our arrival next week)!!! 


Supplies:
canvas, red spray paint, glue silver glitter, wired silver ribbon


After the spray paint dried, I used the glue
to write 'let it snow'...my cursive is sub-par,
so many apologies!


set the canvas on a baking sheet, and dusted
the glue letters with loads of glitter (use
the baking sheet to collect all the excess glitter,
so I can return it to the bottle when done)

After the glue/glitter sets (give it a couple hours), shake off
the excess glitter and then cut 2 strips of ribbon and attach
to the back of the canvas with flat head thumb tacks) and tie
the 2 pieces together in a bow, and secure on the wall with
a nail (I just removed a picture that is usually hanging,
and used that nail...will switch it back after the season)


Voila, you have a crazy cute new wall
hanging for the season!
