🧺 What You’ll Need
Before you start, gather these crafting essentials:
DecoArt Snow-Tex (available in jars)
Palette knife or stiff brush
Craft surface (wood, glass, foam, or ceramic)
Acrylic paint (optional) for tinting
Glitter or embellishments (for extra sparkle)
Protective surface covering
👉 Pro Tip: Snow-Tex works best indoors on non-flexible surfaces like ornaments, pinecones, and jars.
❄️ Step-by-Step: How to Apply DecoArt Snow-Tex
🖌️ Step 1: Prep Your Surface
Clean your item to remove dust and grease. If you’re using wood or glass, make sure it’s dry before applying Snow-Tex.
👉 A clean surface ensures better adhesion and smoother texture.
🎨 Step 2: Stir and Apply
Gently stir the Snow-Tex to even out the consistency.
Use a palette knife or brush to dab and spread it wherever you want a snow effect — like rooftops, jar lids, pinecone edges, or ornament tops.
You can apply thick for snow drifts or thin for light frost.
👉 For natural snow texture, tap lightly with a sponge to create peaks and fluff.
🌈 Step 3: Add Color or Sparkle
While still wet, you can tint Snow-Tex with acrylic paint for colored snow (try silver, blue, or pastel shades).
Sprinkle fine glitter or shimmer dust for a frosty sparkle effect.
👉 A touch of glitter transforms your piece from cute to magical!
🌬️ Step 4: Let It Dry Completely
Allow your project to dry for several hours or overnight.
Avoid touching or moving it while drying to keep the texture crisp.
👉 Thicker applications may need more time — patience pays off for perfect results!
🕯️ Step 5: Finish & Display
Once dry, your decoration is ready to shine! You can:
Use it as part of your holiday centerpiece
Add it to Christmas tree ornaments
Place it on a mantel or tabletop display
👉 Snow-Tex gives any holiday craft a charming “freshly snowed-on” look that lasts all season.
🎁 Creative Project Ideas with Snow-Tex
Frosted Mason Jars: Add Snow-Tex to jar rims and fill with LED candles.

Christmas Ornaments: Create a frosty edge or snowy design on plain ornaments.

💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
Thin layers prevent cracking. Apply slowly and let each layer dry before adding more.
Avoid bending surfaces. Snow-Tex isn’t flexible and may crack on fabric or rubber.
Clean tools immediately. It dries fast and hardens permanently once set.
Mix with paints. Add subtle tints or metallics for unique color blends.
