STEP THREE STEP FOUR
Let it Snow! Let It Snow! Let
It Snow! Before you let loose
your powerful snowstorm, use a
paintbrush to paint a bit of glue
to things that would naturally
catch a bit of snowfall if they were
real-sized. I brushed the glue on
the posts of the fence before the
big storm started, so that they
caught some of the flakes on
the way down. You want a good
amount of accumulation on the
ground, but not enough to call
off school. Accessorize! I wired a big, hand-
tied bow on top, green with red
velvet accents, pulling in some
colors from my ornaments and
added a bit of snow-covered
greenery. The selection of ribbon
and greenery accessories at Ben
Franklin is staggering, so mix
it up and bring your own taste
into your scene. Then, tie away...
unless you need some help. I have
a confession, dear readers. I ran
into Ben Franklin co-owner Kristy
Dunlap-Smith who tried to teach
me how to make the perfect bow.
I took the ribbon home and made
some not-so-perfect, pretty awful
bows. So, I used Kristy’s sample as
the bow for my final project. You can
easily use a pre-made bow or have
one of the super-helpful people at
Ben Franklin help you out. It is the
season of giving, after all.
