Snowman, Snowman...

I got a wild hair to recycle today...plus I needed a snowman gift....so I put my thinking cap on and come up with this guy...made from a yard light bulb...blown out one of course...the technique to get this texture is so very easy and I will reveal that some where with in this post for you to try... But look at my rustic little snow man guy

now isn't he just adorbale...well after making him I thought " how would he look made from a normal light bulb"   well guess what!!! he is still adorable

look at this snowy texture for a moment....can you tell how I did it...?

here it is

1 can white spray paint

gradulated sugar

light bulb

painters tape

place to spray paint safely

first tape off the the silver part of the light bulb with painters tape...then spray the blub all white...while still wet sprinkle on the sugar....if you miss some spots just spray and sugar again...let sit for a bit to dry...when completely dry re-spray the whole bulb white to seal the sugar...and wha~la! look at that texture...it will dry completely to a firm texture...

decorate as desired..

I left the silver part undone so it makes the hat easy to slide on and I can attach the hanger here also.

this is my new favorite thing to share this year...everywhere I go I am teaching my freinds how to do this texture.

Happy Snowy Holiday..
