Hey, Gators! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m definitely getting in the holiday spirit. My backyard, front entry and a portion of my home are all decked out for Christmas. I also created this sparkly snowflake door hanger to GIVEAWAY! Yes, you could win this + a $20 Starbucks gift card. Contest ends at 11:59pm CST on 12/3/18.
‘Tis the season of giving after all! Details on how to enter can be found at the bottom of this post. If you don’t win this one, don’t fear! I’m giving you all the details to create your own.
I picked up this wood snowflake plaque from Targets Dollar Spot. There were various designs to choose from.
My friends over at Plaid recently send me a bunch of beautiful Apple Barrel matte acrylic paints. I used White, Bright Blue and Bimini Blue for this project.
First, I painted Apple Barrel White into the indented lines on the snowflake.
Then, I painted a segment White. I painted the segment directly across from it White also.
I repeated this step with the other colors.
I love this shade of blue.
So festive!
I painted the back and sides in Bright Blue.
To give it a little more pizzaz, I added some clear chunky glitter. Use spray adhesive or Mod Podge to secure glitter.
Lastly, I added various lengths of blue and white glittered ribbon to the back. I also added a twine loop hanger. Using my heavy duty staple gun, I attached the ribbon with 1/4 inch staples. You could you industrial strength adhesive as well.
I just love how the ribbon blows in the wind. Visit my Instagram account (@slumberingalligator) for a chance to WIN this snowflake door hanger and a $20 Starbucks gift card. Happy Holidays!

That is such a cute idea! I think it’s pretty! Very clever! I know, for my little family, a snowflake or two would be welcomed in the part of Florida!
