Instructions

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE POPSICLE STICK SNOWFLAKE ORNAMENT:

  • For the more simple design (better for smaller kids), cross two popsicle sticks and glue together in the middle to make a “+” shape. Glue two more sticks to fill in the spaces between those original sticks and you have a simple snowflake design!

FOR THE MORE COMPLICATED SNOWFLAKE DESIGN …

  • Place 6 popsicle sticks with the centers overlapping so that it makes a star shape. Glue the centers on top of each other.
  • Connect one of the “V” shaped openings with another popsicle stick and allow the stick to hang over the edges a little.
  • Repeat with 5 more sticks until you have connector pieces the whole way around.
  • Now that your snowflakes are assembled, you can paint them the color of your choosing!
  • Once the paint is dry, make a loop with some twine or yarn and glue the loop to the back of your snowflake ornament.
  • Decorate with additional mini pom poms and glue, more paint, or puffy paint.
  • Once dry, your snowflakes are ready to hang or gift!

Notes

NOTE: While you can use school glue for this project, using a low-temp hot glue gun will allow you to get right to the painting and decorating without having to wait for dry time, so that’s a big plus!
