DIY Hot Glue Snowflake Ornament

Here's a nice fast and simple project for today's blog post.  And it's great for kids too!  I was watching my nephew the other day and after he finished his homework I gave him the option of reading comic books or making snowflakes.  Since he's not a huge fan of reading and just finished reading about 20 pages for homework he immediately shouted make snowflakes.  So I had him help by reading off the directions from the blog (got him to do more reading after all) and help with glittering.  So I highly recommend this project!  The only thing is that practice makes perfect so don't be disappointed if your first snowflake isn't perfect - mine totally looked rigged but it's okay every snowflake is different!


  • Snowflake print out to use as stencil
  • Glitter (The glitter shown was picked up at the Dollar Tree) 
  • Hot glue gun
  • Glue sticks (I used at least 2 for 1 snowflake)
  • Soap detergent (to create a buffer for ease of removal)
  • Wax paper
  • Martha Stewart Glittering Glue w/ Brush (Or Mod Podge and a brush)
  • String or wire
  • Paper plate (or something to sprinkle glitter all over :))
