Two tutorials in one week.... that's right! I'm on a roll here. Frosting stuff with Epsom salts is slightly addicting. I couldn't just frost pine cones and leave it at that. I had to try it out on some twigs too. Turns out they look lovely as a bouquet on my kitchen table :)
Please enjoy this simple tutorial for making a frosted twig bouquet:
Materials:
Twigs: washed and dried
Spray Paint ( I used Krylon Metallic Gold spray paint)
Elmer's Glue
Epsom Salt
Step 1: Lay out your twigs and spray paint them all over. Let dry.
Step 2: Apply glue to the areas of the twig that you want "frosted". I left the bottoms plain because they were going in a vase anyway.
Step 3: Immediately sprinkle Epsom salts over the glued parts of your twigs. It's best to do this over a large pan as it is quite messy :)
Step 4: Let the salt dry on the twigs and then place them in a vase to enjoy!
