DIY Snowflake Chargers with Martha Stewart Plaid

I love to decorate for Christmas and my theme for the past few years has been silver, blue, chrome, white and lots of snowflakes!  This year, I have added that to my dining table!  I made these super cute Snowflake Chargers with the help of Martha Stewart Plaid!  They were easy, lots of fun and cheap:)  I started with a 6ft. 1×12.  I cut it into squares at 11 1/4″.  Your hardware store can do the same.  ( A 6ft. board will make 6 chargers). Next, I used a Martha Stewart Roller Top to apply a base coat on each board.  I chose the Martha Stewart acrylic paint color Wedding Cake.   Now for a little sparkle:) I used a Martha Stewart Specialty Sponge to apply acrylic Metallic!  I LOVE the Metallic acrylic paint!!!!  It’s so shiny! I chose two cute snowflakes from this package of 37 holiday stencils.  The specialty sponge made stenciling so easy!  When I was done painting, I used the Martha Stewart Brush and Stencil Cleaner to wash all of the paint off.  It worked like a charm:)  I was in LOVE with the cute little snowflakes but the chargers needed a finishing touch:)  I sanded the edges down and applied a light stain for an aged look. LOVE these!!!    Thanks so much again to Martha Stewart Plaid for helping me create the perfect place settings for Christmas!  ~Ashley
