All the stencils in this Paas Christmas Stencil Kit are intact and have never been punched out.
I think this is the time when you say "How jolly!" Because that's what we say when we see a Santa Claus face. He's a jolly fellow.
All the stencils are still in this one, too, but have been punched out—two with some paint residue. Guess they didn't want to use the fake snow. Love the cool illustration on the cover of this kit. Dig the kids.
The ones that have paint on them are the "Merry Christmas" one (they used red AND white) and the angel praying.
And here, you've got a can of Instant Snow:
I took this photo last year, during the freak massive snow storm that hit Portland around Christmas time. There's a winter wonderland right behind me when I took this shot.
On the back there's a warning:
Contents under pressure. Do not puncture. Do not throw into fire or incinerator. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children or pets to eat snow.
Gotta remember that last one.
So much awesome in one little blog post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
I remember the spray on snow. Most families just did the corners of their windows, but it was all a little redundant in the winter wonderland of Salt Lake City.
Good times...
I remember we did stencils too, but not with spray-on snow. We used some sort of pink liquid (Glass Wax?) on a sponge, held the stencil to the glass, then daubed on the glass through the stencil. The liquid dried white. -- Andy
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I just saw this same set at an antique store yesterday! I would have bought it, if it had been before christmas and not after.
ReplyDeleteHave you come across "Bosley" and "Dudley", the Paas Easter characters from our childhood?
ReplyDeleteI don't think they lasted long. They may have only been regional. But they were a big hit when I pulled them out in college -even being featured our 'zine.
