Snowflake Ornament

Even with 8 points, these painted snowflakes evoke the real thing. You may want to use a measuring tape or ruler to ensure straight and equal lines.

 

Let it snow -- whatever the weather.

• Newspapers
• Light blue ball ornament
• White glass paint
• Fine liner paintbrush
• Pencil with round-tip eraser

1. Cover work surface with newspapers.

2. Paint snowflake structure. Using the photo as a guide, paint a symmetrical snowflake. Start by painting a plus sign (+) in the size you want the snowflake. Then add a smaller x over the plus sign.

3. Add in details, painting the same marks on all extensions of the snowflake. To add small dots, dip the handle end of a paintbrush in paint and dot on the surface. Let the paint dry.

4. Add large dots to the background. Dip the eraser end of a pencil into paint and dot on the surface. Let the paint dry.
