{let it snow}



Cheap and Easy!
{the snowflake, people}

All you need is:


package of jumbo craft sticks (found mine at Robert's)
small wooden discs (also found at Robert's)
white craft paint (you could spray, too)
a hot glue gun (have you gotten one yet?)
glitter (any color you choose)

Using hot glue put arrange craft sticks
following my pattern (or make your own!).
Tip:  The angles @ the center
(underneath the big disc)
should all be 60 degrees.
Once dry, paint with white glue.
While that's drying, paint your discs and immediately add glitter
(they'll stick to the wet paint).
Adhere painted and glittered discs with hot glue.

That's it.
You're done.
Really.

Inspiration found here.

How many sticks did you use overall? Soooo cute!!!

Haiku Amy said...

Wow, I made one, and um...yours looks way better. Well, I didn't have the craft circles so I used foam cutouts, and my sticks were not the jumbo size. Anyway, it was a fun project to do with my son, so thanks for the inspiration.
