- Cut toothpicks in half and stick them to the back of the stickers. Lay stickers on white card stock. Once stickers are adhered to the card stock, cut stickers out with scissors. NOTE- I backed the stickers with card stock because I used Epoxy stickers, which are clear.

This could easily be made from bits of old Christmas decorations and thrift shop finds - and the kids would love to share in the making

This Let it snow centerpiece is beautiful and it will look so perfect for the Christmas season setting on the mantel or the center of a table. I am going to start searching the thrift shops and dollar stores for things I can use on mine. This is the time of year that they will be putting these things out. I think I will also maybe add a fairy to mine to make it a little fairy village decorating for Christmas.

While it is absolutely gorgeous, it's a tad out of my budget. When I added up the visit to make it did shock me. I tend to like to make decorations out of recycled items or things from the dollar store.i am thinking thus is more suited to those that are into scrap booking because they will have most of the materials. Thank you for sharing, it truly is beautiful.
