How to Make a Snowy Valentine Centerpiece

• small, white two-tiered metal tray
• winter sign (I used one that I painted in 1998)
• snowy brush trees
• pink ornaments
• 2 sets of fuzzy gloves
• Elmers Glue All
• tiny styrofoam balls
• snowy wreath
• icy floral picks
• valentine ribbon

Step 1
To begin, place the snowy wreath on the top tier of the tray and style the fuzzy gloves on the bottom tier. You could use mittens, or a hat too. A doll-sized toboggan hat would work well. Tuck the snowy brush trees into the wreath.

Step 2
The snow-dipped ornaments are easy to make. Dip the ornaments into the Elmers Glue All, then into the tiny styrofoam balls. Let them dry, then arrange them on your tray.

Step 3
Tie a valentine ribbon around two bundles of icy floral picks. Place on the top tier. The ribbons match the ones in My Snowy Valentine Tablescape.

Step 4
Find a snowy animal figurine and surround him with a twig wreath. Tuck some icy floral picks into the wreath. My snowy owl could light up and change colors when he was given to me as a gift. The lights stopped working, so I removed all the inner parts and kept his ceramic shell.

Step 5
Find a small, fun winter sign and lean it against the tray. I painted my snowman sign in 1998. For all of you old-time crafters- do you see the crackle paint on the snowmen? I’ve used this winter sign in my kitchen, in the middle of a wreath, and in so many other ways over the years. This is one of the items I sold at craft shows. You can read about my experience as a crafter here. Place icy floral picks in front of your sign.

This is my last guest post for Robin here on Fluster Buster. I’ve learned lots from being a contributor, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to stretch themselves a little bit. I hope you enjoyed reading the tutorial for my Snowy Valentine Centerpiece!
