No, he was not made from snow. Rather, he was a Pizza snowman. He was as fun to eat as he was to make. He also gave me an excuse to create a snow themed layout.
The satin cloth pieces were cut from remnants. I like to peruse the remnants bin at my local fabric store for cool finds. White cloth allows you the option to dye it. In this case, it was simply a matter of using spray mists to achieve the color I wanted. I used my machine to stitch random patterns on the material.
The chipboard snowflake was covered with scraps of a blue foil dove candy wrapper. To add luster and really seal it on, I added several coats of UTEE. The photo really doesn't do it justice. It has a wonderful sparkle all it's own.
This is just a little piece of how we make a season truly our own. How do you make the seasons special for your family? Even little details like candle scents or flavored coffees can help you identify with the changing of the seasons. Spring is approaching, but for many people the obvious signs of the season aren't there. That doesn't mean you can't make the season your own. Find a little time to do something unique or special, not just for a holiday, but for the season itself. Trust me when I say that those little moments will live on in your child's memories every time the seasons change.
