Vases with a snow effect

Wintry decorations in pure white can be perfectly integrated into your home decorating concept. Why not take empty bottles and turn them into enchanting wintry vases? Before starting your project, be sure to cover your work area with newspaper or plastic and then have all your materials ready at hand.

  • Stick for holding the bottles steady
  • Paper and cardboard for spray protection
  • Old glass bottles
  • Craft glue or spray adhesive
  • Very coarse salt
  • Acrylic paint (white gloss)

With an old cardboard box, you can make your own small 'spray cabinet' so you have the perfect place to do your crafts indoors as well.

Small bottles, or the necks of bottles, can be best painted using the detailed jet. Simply set the nozzle diagonally.
