Snow Baubles

With this being the first Christmas in our own home we have inherited a lot of Christmas bits and pieces. I love having things handed down to me. I have ended up with some beautiful vintage baubles that were my grandma's aunts! Very old!!



But some baubles can do with a little re-vamp, which is just what I did! 

Things you will need:
  • baubles
  • paint to cover the baubles (I used white poster paint)
  • PVA glue
  • Snow (obviously not real snow, but you can buy it in packets in most places now)

What to do:
1. Take your baubles and give them a couple of coats of paint depending on the base colour of the baubles and the final effect that you want. Leave to dry in between coats.
2. When dry, put your snow into a bowl to make the next bit easier. Then cover your bauble in a coat of PVA glue and then dunk into your bowl of snow and cover all over. Leave to dry.
It is as easy as that!


If you need a couple of coats you could always use spray mount to add a second layer. But mine were great after the first layer :)



Does anyone else have any good bauble re-vamp ideas?
