Winter Snowflakes

Kids Craft: Winter Snowflakes

Using snowflakes and garland to decorate is not only for the holiday season, it can also be for the entire Winter season. Every year, for the past three, this family has made snowflakes out of construction or computer paper and used thread or garland and thumb tacks to hang them throughout the house. It is amazing how something as simple as snowflakes and garland can bring such joy, not only to the kids but in terms of decorating and budgeting.

Materials:

• Strings of garland (as low as $1 at Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree)
• Colored Construction Paper (a booklet for $2.49-$3.00 depending on store)
• Thread or Wrapping Ribbon
• 1 bag/box of Tacks
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Follow Instructions on how to cut snowflakes at the following site: Snowflakes
2. String the garland throughout a room, using thumb tacks to secure to ceiling.
3. Cut six inch ribbon pieces at loop through one of the holes in the snowflakes. Tie onto the garland in any pattern desired.

This is fun, easy, inexpensive, and can even be done on a snow day. The best part is, it can be used as a Christmas decoration in the kid's rooms and left up throughout the winter! Happy Holidays Everyone!
