Ingredients
Materials
- 1 sheet White cardstock or paper Cut into approximately 6x6 inch squares
- 1 each Scissors For cutting the snowflakes
- 1 each Hot glue gun and glue sticks For attaching components
- 1 each Glitter (optional) For adding sparkle
- 1 length Ribbon or string for hanging To hang your ornaments

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting your cardstock into squares (approximately 6x6 inches is ideal). Ensure the paper is smooth for easier cutting.
- With the pencil, lightly draw a snowflake design on the paper square. Use a ruler to create symmetrical lines or geometric shapes if desired.
- Carefully cut along the drawn lines to reveal your snowflake. Experiment with different shapes—no two snowflakes should be alike!
Decoration
- If you want an extra sparkle, gently apply hot glue to the edges of your cut snowflake. Sprinkle glitter over the glued areas and shake off the excess.
- Cut a length of ribbon or string, and secure it to the top of your snowflake using hot glue. Allow everything to dry completely before handling.
Notes
Consider using colored paper instead of white for a unique look. Experiment with different sizes of snowflakes by adjusting your paper square dimensions. Create 3D effects by layering multiple snowflakes on top of each other and use paint or markers to add colors and designs.
