You can put the Jack Frost icing on your holiday decor with beveled-glass diamonds with metal-leafing and stickers. To make this ornament you apply metal leafing to create a burnished golden outline, surrounding a shimmering golden snowflake.
What you will need:
•Diamond-shaped beveled-glass ornaments
•Leafing adhesive pen
•Metal leafing (silver leaf, flower-petal leaf, and sea-spray leaf)
•Glass and tile top-coat varnish
•Vinyl snowflake stickers (gold and silver)
Instructions for the project: Clean and dry the glass ornaments. Apply the leafing adhesive to the beveled edges of the glass ornament following the manufacturer’s instructions. When the adhesive is tacky, you can apply metal leafing according to the manufacturer’s directions. Let the leafing dry for at least 1 hour. Gently brush off any of the excess metal leafing. Keep in mind that if the beveled edges aren’t completely covered with leafing, you can repeat the process to fill any missed areas. Paint the metal leafing completely with varnish and set aside to dry. Apply the vinyl snowflake stickers to the centers of the ornaments.
