Make Snow Flake Ornaments

Spread some holiday cheer by making Christmas Snow Flake ornaments with your family or your Scouts!

This activity is easy to do for most ages.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Cover your work surface with a sheet of wax paper. Make a puddle of glue in one corner - about the size of a quarter will do.
Step 2

Cut the string into pieces. You'll need four longer strings, about three to four inches each, plus eight short strings about 1 inch each. You'll also need a two inch string for the circle. Sizes do NOT need to be exact. If you want a larger or smaller snow flake ornament, adjust your sizes as needed.
Step 3

Dip each string into the glue and squeeze the extra glue off with your fingers. Get the strings thoroughly wet.
Step 4

Doesn't look like a snow flake yet...

Lay the four longest strings on the wax paper in a starburst pattern to start the snow flake.
Step 5

Now it looks like a snow flake.

Cross the end of each string with a smaller string. Bend into a half circle. Make a circle of the two inch string for the center.
Step 6

.

Sprinkle the snow flake ornament with glitter. Dot the tips with red glitter glue. You can use any color for the dots.
