Basket full of Snowballs...
I am working on Holiday Decor for my front porch and I came across these easy snowballs on Pintrest. All you need is a quick trip to the Dollar Store for a few cheap supplies. These snowballs took me about 20 minutes and the effect is both rustic and vintage.
I picked up these 8 packs of Styrofoam balls for crafting and Epsom Salts each purchased for $1.25. I am using a wire basket I already have on hand. I poured the epsom salts into an old container and added about 1tsp of Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter. Coat with Modge Podge and dredge through the snowy mixture!
I set the snowballs aside to dry and started working on the tags. I just got my hands on the new Canadian Paper Manufacture
Holiday Style paper from
Wild Whispers. This set has a really rustic style and it's double sided... BONUS! I cut the Tags and Tab die with mat board and paper. Then I did a couple mini skates and paper with glittery skate edges. Assemble and embellish.
Look how many there are!
I used the
Stitched Oval cut with chalkboard paper so I could write my 5 cents ;)
The tag is clipped on with a hinge clip.
These snowballs look real.
This basket full of snowballs will be a perfect holiday decor addition to my festive porch!
Decorating doesn't have to cost a fortune. Most of these things I already had on hand... so it cost me about $5. Look at your stash and see what you can create.
