It's a fun and festive way to add a personalized touch to your holiday décor, perfect for spending a cozy afternoon crafting with friends or family. So go ahead, grab some pipe cleaners, unleash your imagination, and let the snowy magic unfold!
The supplies I will be using are: 1. Chenille pipe cleaners ( I got these from Home Depot) 2. Spray adhesive 3. Scissors 4. Glitter
These are so easy to make. I am using 8 pipe cleaners for one snowflake.
You will take 3 of the pipe cleaners and cross them at the center. I crossed one over the other and gave them a twist to hold them all together.
The next step is to cut 3 more of the pipe cleaners in half.
This will give you 6 pieces all the same length.
I then added these 6 pieces to the snowflake .
I came up about midway from the center of the snowflake and twisted the ends onto the longer stems of the snowflake.
I continued around the whole snowflake until all 6 pieces were added.
Now it is time to cut the last two pipe cleaners into thirds.
I added these last 6 pieces to the end pieces of the snowflake.
Once my snowflake was all formed I then sprayed the spray adhesive.
I sprinkled the glitter on top of the snowflake.
I love this glitter it reminds me of a sugar glitter. I get it from Hobby Lobby.
These are so easy to make and can placed on your tree or hung on your fire place mantle.
