Hiya.
It’s Tuesday.
You knew that?
Oh.
Did you also know about my little junkmail-snowflake-making rampage? Well… I regret to inform you that it goes on. I know… Call me obsessed. I can take it.
Here’s my junkmail snowflake experiment du jour. Jars. I stuck the snowflakes to jars. See?
Junkmail Snowflake Lanterns
All I did was cut out teeny snowflakes using THIS method. And then I took some watered-down Mod Podge (roughly 1:1 water to Mod Podge) and brushed the Podge onto the back of each snowflake (or half-snowflake). Then I stuck the snowy flakes onto jars, and bam: junkmail snowflake lanterns.
I suggest brushing the snowflakes with Mod Podge while holding them in hand. Otherwise they will become forever stuck to whatever surface you have them on. They’ll stick to your hands too, but if you use the Podge judiciously and brush it on with a tiny paint brush, you’ll avoid the flakes becoming permanently affixed to you.
Oh. Okay. Perhaps I could serenade you on Thursday then? Wouldn’t that be great? Don’t let me forget, okay?
Well you have a lovely day now. Bye bye until Thursday. ♥M
Junkmail Snowflake Possibility #1 is back HERE, btw.

So cute snoflakeS! i love it, thanks for sharing.
As soon as I saw these snowflakes I thought of Mod Podge. They really remind me more of mandalas than snowflakes. Beautiful!
Lovely! I added a link, photo, and short description to my Junk Mail Crafts article at Squidoo. Thanks!!
Did you mod podge over the snowflakes when you were done?
Hi Emily,
No I just applied the Mod Podge on the back side carefully and stuck them on!
Thanks!
