DIY Snowflake
This snowflake craft is a great way to keep your creative kids busy and spend great time together as a family! Snow is nice and pretty but it can force us stay indoors for days, with not much to do. Kids are the most affected, they get bored easily and need a lot of playtime which is sometimes hard to get indoors! They need to be entertained, occupied and challenged at all time and an easy DIY snowflake is the perfect winter project.

Snowflake Craft
Materials:
- 8 light blue plastic spoons
- Piece of heavyweight cardboard about 8” x 8”
- Foil cupcake wrapper
- 10 small turquoise gems
- 10 large mint green gems
- 11 large pink gems
- 10 small, white buttons
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Instructions:
- Cut a circle from the cardboard that is 3 ½ inches across and one that is 3 inches across.
- Put the larger circle on the worktop and evenly space the spoons around the cardboard as shown.
- Use the hot glue gun to secure the spoon handles to the cardboard.
- Flip the snowflake over and use hot glue to secure the 3 inch cardboard circle over the center where the spoons meet (for reinforcement).
- Flip it back over and glue the metallic cupcake paper to the center of the cardboard circle.
- Use the hot glue gun to carefully apply the buttons to the backs of the spoons.
- Use the hot glue gun to apply the decorative gems to the snowflake.
TIP 1: Do not apply hot glue to the buttons or gems. Put the glue on the surface and carefully place the gems onto the glue to protect fingers from getting burned.
TIP 2: You can use the glue gun to attach a loop of string to the back to hang it up.
