Today’s post is about a watercolor snowflake art. We made snowflake stencil out of school glue and used the stencil to create our beautiful watercolor painting. As my ten year old has done other watercolor projects like wet on wet watercolor flowers or watercolor resist bookmarks, it was pretty simple for her.

Materials needed to make this snowflake art
- Watercolor paper
- Watercolor paint
- Paint brush
- School glue
- Aluminium foil
- Printer paper
- Pencil
Method to make this snowflake art:
- Draw the snowflake template in a printer paper with pencil or the better option is to take the printout of the snowflake template available over the internet. I drew mine which took me a lot of time.
- Cut out aluminium foil
slightly bigger than the template.
- Place the snowflake template over the aluminium foil
- Pour the glue
directly from the bottle on the design in the foil. The glue would spread a little and come out of the design. I should have drawn a snowflake with minimum design. But I could still make out a snowflake design.
- Let the glue
- Remove the snowflakes from the foil slowly. It will peel easily. We have made our own stencils out of glue!
I took this picture after painting, so stencils are painted - Lay the glue
. Wet the paper with little water.
- Color the paper with watercolor paint
. When my daughter was painting very close the stencil, she was holding the stencil. Even when she painted over the stencil, it did not leak through.
- Remove the stencils carefully once the painting is completed.
Voila! The glue resist watercolor paining is done!
The preparation work is more for this painting than I usually prefer. However my daughter was excited to make a stencil at home. We may repeat this painting idea.
