Snowflake Ornament

Source: http://www.inspiremecrafts.com/inspireme_crafts/gotta-make-itwith-the-kids/

Here's an easy one for you! Just a few supplies and your little ones will create some masterpieces to showcase on your tree. They will be so proud of their button snowflake ornament they'll want to make one for everybody. Hang them on your tree, attach them to the ribbon on gifts, or if you don't think you'll see real snow this year, just hang several from your windows!










MATERIALS:
Popsicle sticks (3 for each ornament)
Buttons (I chose white ones so I wouldn't have to paint them)
White glitter
Glue
Ribbon

HOW TO:

1. Glue the popsicle sticks together one on top of the other, attaching at the middle. Space them out to make the shape of the "snowflake". Let the glue dry.
2. Spread glue over the top of the popsicle sticks. Apply the buttons. Let dry.
3. Spread a light coat of glue over the buttons or use a spray adhesive. Apply glitter. Shake excess glitter off.
4. Glue ribbon in a loop at the top of one of the popsicle sticks.
