Clothespin Snowflake

We haven’t had much snow yet where I live, so I thought I would make my own.

Supplies

Clothespins (I used eight for each snowflake)

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

White paint and a paint brush

Clear glue(I used spray enamel)

White or clear sparkles/glitter (the sparkles/glitter that I used was called diamond dust)

Starting the Snowflake

First you want to disassemble the clothespins by removing the springs from between the wood pieces.

Glue

Then glue the smooth ends together.

Next, paint them white.

Glue Snowflake Together

Glue each clothespin end to the other ends (pointy end facing out) making a circle.

Finishing the Snowflake

To finish the snowflake spray it with a clear enamel. Then immediately after, dust sparkles on it.

Finished

The snowflake is complete. I made several more and hung them around my house, but you can also glue them together and make a cool wreath for your door. If anyone makes this I would love to see a picture of your version.
