Supersized IOD Snowflakes for a Festive “Let It Snow” Sign
A clever lesson in looking beyond the original mould design and combining individual IOD elements into something completely new.

Reimagining the Snowflake Mould
Jonathon takes the returning IOD Snowflakes Mould beyond its original castings by cutting, combining, and extending moulded elements to build much larger, one-of-a-kind snowflakes. He uses the dimensional designs on a dramatic LET IT SNOW Christmas sign, adds stamped lettering, and finishes everything with a little holiday sparkle.
A note about the paint: Jonathon uses Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Oxford Navy in his original project. I do not carry Annie Sloan paint, but I’ve included two paints I do carry below that can give you a similar deep-blue direction. Midnight Blue Fusion Mineral Paint is the closer dark-blue option; Ocean Alchemy is a lighter blue alternative.
