The best part is that kids can decorate these however they’d like. And each one will end up being unique just like a real snowflake!

How to Make the Ornaments

1. Paint the popsicle sticks.

First you need to paint your popsicle sticks if you don’t already have colored sticks. We started with colored sticks which make it much easier to create! But painting can also be part of the fun too so you could easily get plain popsicle sticks and paint them whatever color you’d like!

2. Glue the sticks together.

Next you need to hot glue your popsicle sticks together. Forming the shape of the snowflake, put a small bit of hot glue in between each popsicle stick. Once done, add a bit of hot glue to the back and add your twine for hanging. Adults should do this part. You can get the snowflakes ready and then kids can do the decorating!

3. Decorate.

We used  Glitter Stickers and Silver Glitter on one, Christmas Bells and glitter, Fabric Snowflakes and glitter, Tinsel Pom Poms and glitter and just pure glitter on the final one.

If you want to get the glitter on your snowflake ornament, just put a bit of the tacky glue and pour the glitter on top. Then shake off the excess glitter.

4. Add string.

To turn them into an ornament, add some string to the back with hot glue (with adult assistance). We like to use jute but any kind of string will work as the ornaments are very light.

This is an easy craft stick Christmas craft that kids will enjoy. And the best part is you’ll have an ornament to cherish for many years to come!
