The last post I actually told you about was a Fall picture for my entryway. Well... Fall came & went. Then in the spot I hang up my Jesse Tree for Christmas (I didn't make it, but my amazing Mom did!! I'll get a picture up later). Then Christmas was over. I left the Jesse Tree up till Epiphany, but then I needed a Winter picture. Because let's face it, Winter lasts forever in Iowa.
My amazing mother had given me a bag of a billion puzzle pieces from incomplete puzzles. Okay, maybe not a billion. But at least 100. or 98. This time I bought a 4 pack of canvases (sale plus coupon) for upcoming projects.
So here's the Winter picture. I lightly painted the canvas blue. Kinda like a dull, cloudy, snow is going to fall very soon blue. But I didn't cover completely, letting some of the white show through.
Here are the puzzle pieces. So mom just gave me the little ones. The larger pieces were from a puzzle I bought at a garage sale. It wasn't complete. Into the project pile it went.
White paint and glitter. Paint the picture side of the puzzle pieces. The plain brown side will soak up the paint and they won't be flat any more. Painted a pretty thick coat of white paint and then pinched sprinkled glitter on the wet paint. This is one glitter project I did not let my daughter help. Oh, should mention if you are going to do the glitter and are going to do it this way, a layer of wax paper will be your friend.
Once dried, I glued 3 to 5 small pieces on top of a large piece. All depending on my layout.
Just look at those beautiful one of a kind snowflakes!
