We have to make our own snow down here in Texas! Here is a really fun project that is easy for the entire family to create. 
Supplies Needed:
- Piece of paper
- Canvas-any size
- Salt
- Elmer’s white glue
- Water colors (can be chalk, liquid, or paint)
- Paint brush and water
We set up a small table as a work area and got our supplies ready.
Steps to Creating a Water Color (Salt) Snowflake: Start here: Cut a large paper snowflake out of computer paper. My kids are actually pros at this and we didn’t use a stencil. But here are a few templates you can print and cut out. Next: Once you have your snowflake cut out and traced onto a canvas, you can follow these easy steps:
1. and 2. Trace entire snowflake with white glue
3. Shake salt over wet glue and knock off excess from canvas (we did this part outside)
4. Mix water colors (we chose to do a rainbow snowflake, but a solid color would look great too)
5. Dip paint brush into water and barely touch the water color to the salted glue
6. Repeat until it’s completed
7. Let it dry and be careful to not tip the canvas, as colors may run
Hang and enjoy!

Love, love, love your art gallery! That’s fabulous. And yes, here where we live we often make our own snow too. We’ll definitely be doing this project. Thanks for sharing!
I love that art wall. What a brilliant idea! I also think the snowflake if fabulous.
I was planning on doing some watercolors with my girls today anyway. Maybe we’ll have to give this a try!!
Love the snowflake! Do you also have instructions for the melted crayon masterpiece that was included on your art wall?
Where do you live in Texas? I’m from Texas too and just wondering. And, I love your blog!
Love, love, love your art wall!!!
Beautiful! I can’t believe that you use salt. Very brilliant!
