About this deal

If stenciling a flat surface, rolling pins work wonderfully for securing your stencil to your project. Do this when it’s dark. In fact they said that on the telly. But did I listen first time? No I didn’t! I was too impatient. So my first go was rubbish. Printable sled – Believe it or not, sled stencils are rather hard to find online! I found a workaround, though; SheKnows offers a printable sled that I will totally use as a sled stencil. I like it because of the wooden slat detail, just like the sleds I used to ride on as a kid! Whether you’re looking for a festive holiday display or a fun winter scene, spraying snow is a great way to add some extra cheer to your home. Just be sure to follow our tips on how to decorate your windows with spray snow and how to remove it, so you don’t end up with any streaks or scratches. You can also read:

Snow spray is the stuff in a can that we had every Christmas as a child. We would spray this fake dry white foam on pine cones and windows. The smell of it just reminds me of Christmas and simply making a mess. For a first timer (or about tenth by the time I’d cleaned off my mistakes and started again!), I learned a few things. Snowman stencil– Although Birds on a Cake blog made a cute winter themed cake with this pattern, it could be used for a variety of winter projects. Start by cleaning the inside of your window. This will help the spray snow adhere better and create a more even coverage. It is worth mentioning that some snow spray can be used on the outer side of the window, but the colder it is outside, the longer the snow spray will take to dry. Next, use clear tape to create a template for your design. You can be as creative as you like with this step. Try out different shapes and patterns. Start by spraying a small amount on wax paper or cardboard to test how it will look. After you’re happy with your design, it’s time to start spraying. Once you have your template in place, it’s time to start spraying. Select and print your stencil pattern from the images above. If necessary, use a copy machine to enlarge or reduce the image.As I am writing this, it is December. So obviously everything is Christmassy – including what is on the television. In the run up to the Big Day, I enjoy watching cookery shows and anything crafty. So when Kirstie Allsop’s ‘Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas’ comes on, I’m there. What can you do with your new stencil? With the proper paint, you can stencil just about anything! Add Christmas patterns to cards, t-shirts, place mats, furniture, pillowcases, walls, flower pots, windows, serving trays, shower curtains, tablecloths, wall hangings, baby bibs, scrapbooks, aprons, handbags, tree skirts and more! But that evening I just thought, I can do this! For some reason I just cleaned off the snow spray art I had previously created and started again. With a bit of help from Tom Baker’s art work. I had to have something to go on, so I looked at a couple of his images. I knew if I tried to recreate them they’d look very different, but I needed something visual to guide me. Start Big

Last year, my kids begged for me to take them somewhere where they could see snow (we don’t get much in NC).

I have one of Kirstie Allsop’s craft books and I do like to give things a try. But when I saw a chap called Tom Baker–‘snow artist’ (not Dr Who!) on Kirstie’s show, I thought ‘Yeah, I can do that’.. It is as easy as it looks?? Was I going to give up? No. I did one more snow scene. This time a church. I used the same tools as before – my piece of cardboard and my art brush. It’s okay but practice will make it look better.

Don’t do this when small children are around. Unless they are very well behaved, or you give them a bit of window to have a go on themselves. If you want to create a masterpiece, kids will only try and take over (or draw in it with their fingers, like my daughter did)

Place your prepared stencil on a hardwood board or other flat cutting surface. You will be using a sharp blade, so be careful to ensure any tables are protected. You may also use hard plastic cutting boards or cardboard atop old cookie sheets for creating stencils, but be aware they will get scratched.
