Materials List
- Q-Tips
- Hot Glue or Glue Dots
- String
Instructions
-
The first step is to grab two cotton swabs and cross them over each other to start the snowflake shape.
-
Next, add the third cotton swab crossing over the other two and you have a snowflake shape.
-
Secure the Q Tips in place with glue dots or hot glue.
-
Finally, add string to allow your cotton swab snowflake to hang easily.
-
If you are making a homemade ornament and wanting to hang these snowflakes from your Christmas tree, add a loop of string at the end of one of the cotton swab ends. We used a loop of red and white striped butcher’s twine.
-
If you want to hang them from the ceiling or in a window, use string or fishing line attached directly to the end of a cotton swab.
