Turn a plain veneer snowflake shaped plaque into a striking Scandinavian inspired Christmas decoration for your door. Bright red and clean white are combined for a beautiful contrast that is very apparent in Scandinavian pieces.

You can find these sturdy veneer snowflake plaques at Michaels. This one is made by ArtMinds™. Remove the ribbon hanger and paint the entire surface white.

Start at each tip and use a long liner brush to add your lines in red. Connect and add more lines, and add dots with the handle end dipped in red paint. Cover the entire thing with DuraClear Matte Varnish. Don’t forget to add the hanger back on!
