Winter DIY Paper Mache Decor

Christmas· Craft Basics· Paper Mache· Winter

My house looks a little stark when I pack all of the Christmas decorations away. I like having winter home decor to spruce up my home a little before Valentine’s Day rolls around. Today’s winter DIY decor project is a great one for a shelf, mantle, or tabletop during cold, snowy months.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Aside from waiting for paint to dry, it is a quick one to throw together!

Supplies needed to make your own winter DIY decor: ClickLinks1

  • Paper Mache Letters to Spell WINTER
  • Round 3×3 Paper Mache Box with Lid
  • 8 inch Bottle Brush Trees
  • Glitter Dust Spray Glitter
  • Aleene’s True Snow
  • Snowflake Die Cuts
  • Core’dinations Printable White Glitter Paper
  • Clear Glitter Gem Stickers
  • Blue Enamel Craft Paint

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-31The first step of this winter DIY will be to paint your paper mache letters and round box using light blue paint. This may require a couple of coats. Dry completely.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-3When the letters are dry, you can begin adding “True Snow” to the tops of the letters.

“True Snow” has the consistency of frosting, and dries into stiff peaks and swirls that resemble snow drifts.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-4Keep in mind, once applied “True Snow” takes 24 hours to completely dry.

Add your snow to the tops of the letters creating your own snow drift patterns.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5I brought the snow down a couple of inches on all top sides of the letters.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6Set the letters aside to dry thoroughly. The “snow” will be slightly flexible when it is dry.

In the meantime, cut some snowflakes using dies, electronic cutting machine, paper punches- or simply hand-cut them.

I used glitter cardstock paper. I love adding glitter to my projects!

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-72When the snow is fully dry on your letters, you can arrange the cut snowflakes as desired.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7I attached the snowflakes to my winter DIY project with foam dimensional adhesive.

Adhere the snowflakes, and add a fun gem to the centers.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11bThis next step is optional, but I chose to add some spray glitter to the finished letters to add a subtle sheen. I love how it turned out!

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9Finally, using hot glue, adhere the sisal tree to the round paper mache box. The box adds some extra height to the tree- which stands in for the letter “I” in “winter.” This sisal tree came with the snow already applied. If your tree isn’t snowy, go ahead and add some “true snow” to your tree, if you would like.

winter-diy-decor-consumer-crafts-unleashed-711That’s it! Find a fun place to display your frosty winter DIY letters!
