Epsom
Salt Christmas Word Art
Materials: Cut Wooded Word – Believe, White Acrylic
Paint, White PVA Craft Glue, Epsom salts, and Clear Spray Varnish
Option: Additional
words can be used if you can get them at your craft store like: NOEL, JOY
Directions:
Take your cut wooden word or paper mache word and paint it
white. The white background enhances the Epsom Salt crystals and allows them to
stand out. Allow it to dry before coating it in white craft glue. You need the
glue to be thick enough to allow the crystals to stick and thin enough that it
doesn’t drip off.
Once you have coated it with glue, roll it into the Epsom salt
crystals.
Allow to dry and touch up any missed areas.
Once completed spray with a clear varnish to prevent the Epsom
salts from popping off.

permits.

first to speed along. Otherwise you can mix 50% white paint with Craft Glue and
apply to Epsom salt crystals to this glue/paint mix.
Once the design has glued together, paint with white paint and
allow to dry. Then coat with the white glue and dip it into the Epsom salt
crystals.

dip into the crystals, set aside to dry.
Once finished spray with a clear varnish to seal the Epsom
salts on to the snowflakes.
