Supplies for How to Make a Paper Snowflake

This list is pretty short and you probably have most of it on hand already.

They are like free ornaments!

But incase you need to stock up on any supplies, here you go:

• Toilet paper roll
• Mod Podge (or white glue)
• White paint
• Hole punch
• White/clear glitter
• Fishing line
• Scissors
• Hot glue

Paper Snowflake Ornament Directions

Step 1: Flatten

Use both hands to flatten the toilet paper roll. Give it a good crease.

Step 2: Cut

Cut the pieces for the paper snowflake. Cut strips that are approximately 1/2″ in width.

Step 3: Cut Again

Using scissors, cut the end of the strips open. You can and should cut right on the crease you created.

Step 4: Glue

Using hot glue, glue the pieces together. You want the cut side out.

Step 4: Start Curling

Once the pieces are all glued together, you should have a piece that kind of looks like a flower.

Curl the ends into one another and secure them with a dab of hot glue and it should look something like this. I know what you are thinking.

What about those messy looking pieces sticking up?

Step 5: Trim

Give the ornament haircut. Trim off the pieces that are sticking out and looking messy!

Step 6: Paint

Step 7: Glue

Use either a clear drying glue or a Mod Podge and brush it all over the ornament.

Step 8: Glitter It Up! Add a little pizzaz to the paper snowflake.

While the glue or Mod Podge is still wet, sprinkle with a clear or white glitter.

Step 9: A Little Extra Sparkle To The Paper Snowflake

Glue two clear gems into the middle of the snowflake. It gives it a little extra sparkle.

Step 10: Punch A Hole

Punch a hole into one of the curves. I used a hole punch, but anything pointy will do.

Step 11: Hang the Paper Snowflake

Cut a length of fishing line, loop it and tie it off.

Add a dab of glue to keep it in place.

Now you know how to make a paper snowflake ornament and you can go hang it up!
