Falling Snowflakes Canvas Art

During the fall, I made some art for my wall using six square canvases and foam leaves. My original idea was to do this with snowflakes to represent falling snow, but it was September and snow in September would be silly (especially in Arizona).

Supplies:

six square canvases {I got a pack of 7 at Michael’s..use your coupon!}

foam snowflakes 1/2 to 1 inch {Either ones that stick, or you can glue them on. Here’s a good deal.}

glue

foam brush

paint {I used Snow (Titanium) White from DecoArt}

Stick the foam shapes on the canvas. I stuck them so the lower three canvases look like the snow is piling up at the bottom. If you are going to paint them white or a light color, try to use white or light colored snowflakes. They are easier to cover with the white paint. Then, with the foam brush, start painting the snowflakes and the canvas. Last time I made the mistake of painting multiple coats on the leaves, but not painting the whole canvas. This led to it looking funny in certain lights.

Can you see the white blobs around the leaves? It bothered me. So this time, I painted the entire canvas with each coat. I don’t see any blobs this time. Yay!

I’m debating on spraying them with a fine mist of silver glitter spray. Yes or no?? I love my little indoor winter scene.

    These are fabulous! I am pinning this and then making it. I’ve already got all the Christmas stuff up but I can definitely use it for the rest of the winter. I’m so excited! Thanks for sharing.

    That is just adorable! I love it!

    I think the art looks great the way it is… but I gotta say I’m a sucker for a little sparkle, so I would vote yes to adding some silver glitter spray (even though I do think they are just perfect as they are!)

    Fantastic job – thanks for sharing this!

    Take care,
    Christina

    This is such a great idea! If I made the leaf one in green they would be the perfect thing to fill in my blank bedroom wall. Thanks so much for sharing!

    This is beautiful! It’s perfect for winter/Christmas. I think glitter may be nice, but maybe only just a touch at the bottom?

    Lovely! And I just got a $10 gift card with an order from Oriental Trading so the snowflakes will be “free!”

    I’m not sure I would put sparkly silver but then again, maybe it would make it even more FABULOUS than it is now—but I don’t see how!

    Good for you- this is very very creative!! Nice job! ๐Ÿ˜€ <–huge smile!
