Snow Related Crafty things...

[U4ea]

So, since there are a few crafty folks around and we're talking about snow, snowflakes and other cold stuff, I thought this would be a good thread to start!

 

So, if you have an idea, or a link to an idea... post away! Maybe, if time and your wallet permits, you can try one of these and post pics! :D

Here's a cute one I found: a hot cocoa snow man! Check it out here!

 

So cute:

Quilling is really easy and pretty cheap, too, if you're in the mood to try a new crafty project. Here's a kit to make snowflakes (though if you have the paper, glue and the slotted tool, you can go wild with it without having to buy the kit!)

 

I'll post a pic up of the two I made before Christmas this year...

that sounds cool! I have no snow to try it, though. LOL Someone would have to test it and let me know!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

you can use shaved ice but it's more fun with snow

[U4ea]

shaved ice candy doesn't sound as much fun, ya know? *grins*

 

I have a recipe for potato candy that's a lot of fun, though...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i think i've seen it - the one that looks like potatoes? or you mean one made from potatoes?

 

could see it working actually.

it's made from small red potatoes. You puree them and mix in a TON of powdered sugar. You roll it out like cookie dough and spread peanut butter over it, then freeze it. Before you serve it, you cut slices so you see the pinwheel and poof! Potato candy!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

sounds really good. the potatoes should work just like flour i'd guess.

[U4ea]

pretty much, once they've thickened up with the sugar and hardened in the fridge. It takes about a box and a half of confectioner's sugar to about 4 potatoes, though...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

sounds like making gnocchi.
