Ingredients
  

Materials

  • 1 bottle White school glue or clear craft glue For creating the snowflakes
  • 1 sheet Baking parchment or wax paper To prevent glue from sticking
  • 1 cup Glitter (iridescent or white recommended) To add a sparkling effect
  • 1 set Small bowls for mixing For pouring and mixing glue
  • 1 pair Scissors To cut shapes if desired
  • 1 set Craft sticks or paintbrushes For drawing snowflake patterns
  • Optional Blue or silver paint For adding color to the edges

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Find a clean, flat surface to work on.
  • Lay down sheets of baking parchment or wax paper to prevent the glue from sticking.

Making the Snowflakes

  • In a small bowl, pour out some white glue.
  • Using a craft stick or paintbrush, start drawing snowflake patterns on the parchment paper.
  • Get creative! Add as many arms to your snowflake as you like.
  • After creating the designs, sprinkle glitter generously over the wet glue.
  • The glitter will enhance the crystal effect once dry.

Drying Time

  • Let the snowflakes dry completely, ideally overnight.
  • Once dry, carefully peel them off the parchment paper.

Optional Coloring

  • If desired, you can lightly paint the edges with blue or silver for extra flair.

Notes

Consider stringing multiple snowflakes together with thread to create a beautiful winter garland. Use them to decorate gift packages or as part of centerpieces. Create a wonderful winter scene by pairing them with cotton for clouds or using them in window displays.
