Purple Buffalo Plaid Snowflake

Welcome to the November Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by Erlene @My Pinterventures. 

The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen!   

Buffalo plaid continues to be very popular this holiday season! Mostly in red, black and white plaids! And you can find lots and lots of buffalo plaid holiday items on Pinterest including snowflakes! Like here and here.

Since I love purple, I was inspired to use purple buffalo plaid in decorative accents this holiday season! And that includes an oversized snowflake that I decoupaged with fabric.  

Materials:

• Pressed-wood snowflake - 12"
• Mod Podge/paint brush
• Purple Buffalo Plaid Fabric
• Craft scissors (small curved)
• Craft knife
• Spray adhesive
• Glitter

First, position a piece of buffalo fabric over the snowflake and adjust the layout according to the plaid pattern.  Cut out the fabric about an inch larger all around than the size of the snowflake. 

Then paint on a thick layer of Mod Podge all over the wooden snowflake and

smooth out the fabric on top of the mod podge snowflake. Once the fabric is smoothed out, paint on additional mod podge all over the fabric on the snowflake, smoothing out, and let dry over night.  

Using sharp, small curved craft scissors, cut off the fabric around the snowflake edges  .  .  .

following the outline of the snowflake, as close as possible.

It's easier to see the outline of the snowflake by holding it up to the light.

Use a craft knife to remove fabric in the tight curved areas.

Spray the cut-out decoupage snowflake with adhesive and sprinkle glitter all over and let dry.

Looks amazing in purple plaid!
