6 Snow Spray Stencils for Christmas

Product Information

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. He had even showed Kirstie how to make the trees – using a brush to get the detail to ‘push’ the snow. But I couldn’t quite get the hang of it. 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. 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?? You may need to go over the window several times to remove all of the spray snow. Be sure to use a different section of the cloth each time to avoid spreading around any dirt or grime.

I then gave up and did some pathetic looking trees and a rubbish snowman. They were probably okay, but not the look I was after. Select and print your stencil pattern from the images above. If necessary, use a copy machine to enlarge or reduce the image. Instead of doing something similar, I thought I’d get more technical and try the bridge. Freehand. I did half the bridge which was okay. Then I tried another house and street light, but I messed up my snow ground. That got wiped off. 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!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. Snowman template – First School offers a large blank snowman stencil perfect for the little ones to decorate using their imaginations. Flip your taped stencil over so the clear plastic is on top and you are viewing the printed pattern beneath it.

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

Reusable Winter Stickers

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 If stenciling a flat surface, rolling pins work wonderfully for securing your stencil to your project.

Use a dry cloth to remove any moisture from the window. Ensure the cloth is clean to avoid leaving streaks. Remember for light coverage simply uses a damp cloth to wipe away the snow. Just be sure the cloth is only slightly damp, so you don’t damage the window. The most important thing to note during fake snow cleaning on windows is to avoid scraping. This can damage the glass, so it’s important to be as gentle as possible. With a little patience, your windows will be clean and ready for the next decorations. Conclusion Come up with your artwork by freehanding a design or using stencils to draw anything you wish to design.
