I saw this idea on The Lettered Cottage a few weeks ago and thought it was cute! I don’t know how they made theirs but I don’t think they weighed them down at all like we did with the beads and there wasn’t glitter. Glitter is a must for a 10 year old!
M is in Girl Scouts and they had to make a craft for their secret sister. So we decided to make a snowflake garland with glitter!
This is what you need:
- Glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Paper
- Glitter
- Beading string or fishing fire
- Beads
We used glasses to trace circles. We used 2 different sizes. Then fold, fold, fold until you can’t fold anymore and cut and make your snowflakes.
Then put glue all over the glitter away! Be careful to not actually glue the snowflakes to the paper. I just checked them and moved them periodically. Wait until the glue is dried completely before proceeding to the next step.
Looks like a cookie!!
We figured we would need something to weigh down the string so we used cheapo transparent beads we found at walmart. We made a knot in the string, beaded a few beads, then just strung the string through the snowflake. It will last longer than if you just put tape on it. We did snowflake, bead, snowflake, bead, until we finished. Then we made a loop and tada!!
This picture is bad and does not do it justice. My big camera needs to be charged so this is the best pit I have!
