This project used snowman and snowflake gel clings, and can be displayed alone or grouped together in 3’s using other glass vases of various heights. Showcase your beautiful Christmas vase or vases on a fireplace mantel, bookcase, or coffee table, or perhaps on a dining room table as a centerpiece.
Begin by adhering snowman and snow flake gel clings to the outside of your glass vase. Be sure to space the gel clings evenly around the vase. Next, begin layering the inside of the vase starting with snow flurries, then use bright white blanket snow towards the top, leaving 3 inches of un-layered space .
Supplies:
- Tall glass vase (if you don’t already have one, thrift stores sell all different sizes and shapes for just pennies.
- 1 Package of Gel Decorations, AKA “Gel Clings” - Blue snowman and blue snowflakes. If using a few vases, I would recommend doing one vase all in snowmen and the other vases in snow flakes for more visual interest.
- 1 Package of blanket Snow, bright white
- 1 Package of Snow Flurries (not to be confused with snow flakes, which are bigger and look more like shredded paper. Snow flurries have more of a grainy appearance.)
Please note that gel decorations are removable and reusable. Do not expose to high heat or direct sunlight on hot days, sticker can melt. You have finished. When the holidays are over, you can keep your Christmas decorating project intact by stuffing a wad of newspaper in to the top of the vase, placing a small paper or plastic bag over the top and rubbing banding it to keep all contents in place. Then, just pack it away carefully for the next year.
