More Glue and Glass

I found this tissue paper
at Dollar Tree.

I love it.

I thought, perhaps,
my niece, Eva Girl,
would enjoy it.
Her attitude about celebrating
snow, to offset the
dread of a long Winter,
is quite inspiring.

So, I pulled out some glue,
spread it around with a
wet paintbrush,
and added torn (or was it cut?)
scraps of tissue.

It still looked "papery."
I thought I had read that
using Aleene's tacky glue
as a glaze might work.
Since my opened bottle
was thickening up,
I gave it a shot.

I loved how it came out.

I had already done this little
candle holder with plastic glitter
from Joann.
The glitter only cost a dollar.
It was not easy to work with
due to static electricity, and
glazing over it
to keep the glitter from "shedding"
took away the snowball look
I liked.

I liked the end result, though.

I think Eva Girl did, too. :)

Notes:
I had to dry the tissue covered jar thoroughly before adding my tacky glaze.

The finished "snowball" was not glazed.

    1. Thank you, Christina. I do, too. In fact, I made one for myself from another candleholder I had. :)
