Hot Glue Snowflake Ornaments

IMG_1283.JPG

My family has a tradition of making DIY ornaments, and I had the idea to make a snowflake out of hot glue and wax/parchment paper. This is quite a simple project with a cool outcome. I hope you enjoy this project, have fun!

Supplies

  • Hot Glue Gun & Glue
  • Wax/Parchment Paper

The Foundation

To make the foundation just make one big glob of hot glue. My 1st-grade art teacher used to always say "No glob monsters" when we used glue. But this doesn't apply to us, so feel free to make as big of a glob monster as you feel like. Just not too big!

Add Arms for Support

I added arms to mine for form and support. But feel free to go with another design

Start Adding Some Design

Start on the inside of the snowflake anything will work but I made a circle.

Add Some More Design

Now you can start to add design closer towards the outer edges but DO NOT put any things on the ends of the line.

Final Design and Loop

So now you can put a design on the end I recommend a circle because other shapes are hard to form. to do this make the first one not filled in in the middle then you can make the rest filled in.

You Are Almost Finished!
