Supplies Needed
- Wooden popsicle sticks (also called craft sticks)
- Metallic white paint
- Paint brushes
- Sequins, glitter, and jewels
- Glue or hot glue gun & glue stick
- Thread or fishing line
Instructions
Step 1
Paint the craft sticks white for a base color. We used metallic white paint so that it was shimmery and shiny, but you could use any paint that you have on hand.
Allow the paint to dry.
Step 2
Glue the popsicle sticks together into a snowflake shape. We thought using 3 popsicle sticks glued together to make a 6 prong snowflake looked the most like a snowflake.
Step 3
Cover the visible parts of each arm with glue, then add glitter, sequins, and jewels to the snowflakes for an extra snowy sparkle!
Step 4
We hung our snowflakes using fishing line.
They look so pretty in front of the window where the sun can shine off the glitter and jewels!
