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.

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.
