A little over a week ago, some friends and I got together and made a few different ormanet crafts including the stained glass cookie ornaments as well as these awesome snowflakes! Ok, so not that, but something like that link. Something more along the lines of a 3 year old can do it.
Simple Snowflake Ornaments:
You'll need:
-Popcicle sticks
-Paint (We used acrylic paint. )
-Glue gun
-Accesories (if desired, like jingle bells, puff balls, glitter, ect.)
-Yarn or Ribbon
Directions:
Step 1:
Paint the popcicle sticks in multiples of four! Simpe, right? (This is the part a 3 year old can do. And a 1 year old.. And pretty much any person in existence.)
Step 2:
Once the sticks dry, glue four of them together at the center like this:
Step 3:
Now would be the time to add any bling. Once you've added all your bling and the glue has dried, its time to tie on the string. Just follow the pictures and hopefully it makes sense. I can't figure out how to explain it in words.
You go on the top of the... stick on top, and then tuc the string behind it.
Then you bring the strings infront of each of the two sides.
Here's a back view of what it should currently look like.
Then tie two knots. one at the base of the snowflake, another at the end of the string.
Lastly, hang your awesome crafty ornament on your tree! The kids loved making these, and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time.
All the best and happy crafting!
