According to the Calendar which is apparently oblivious of the weather Today is the First day of Winter, and so in honor of THAT... & In Keeping with the DIY Ornament(s) theme I have shared these DIY Snowflake Tree Ornament(s)!
Another great project to do with the kiddies, with the girls, boys, or by yourself & you undoubtedly already have the supplies at home!& You could also Add names to create personalized Ornaments that could double as non-disposable Gift Tag!
Supplies Needed:
~ Clothes Pins
~ Hot Glue Gun / Super Glue
~ Paint & Brushes
~ Jute Twine / Ribbon
~ Stamps & Ink Pad (optional)
How To:
Step 1. Start by removing the metal spring from your Clothes PinsStep 2, Using your Hot Glue Gun / Super Glue ~ Adhere the back(s) of both pieces of a clothes pin back together as shown in Imagine 1 above. (You will need 5 of these to create each snow flake)
Step 3. Using a very small drop of Hot Glue adhere the edge to another.
Continue This process 5 times until the Entire Snow Flake takes shape. As Shown in Images 3 - 5.
Step 4. Paint your Snow Flake(s)
Step 5. Cut lengths of Jute Twine to 6 & 12"
Step 6. Adhere 6" piece of Jute Twine to the end of one of the clothes pins as shown in Image 7.
Step 7. Wrap the 12" piece around the end & secure it with Glue.
Step 8. I decided to flash mine up a bit by Adding snow flake stamps in silver.
