Materials

To make these wooden snowflake ornaments, you will need the following basic craft supplies.

• Wooden clothes pins (aka clothes pegs) – ideally eight per snowflake
• White Paint – acrylic paint is great for this.
• Glue – strong glue, a hot glue gun will work great for this as it will hold more firmly.
• Glitter (optional) – silver, white or blue work great with the snowflake theme.
• Thread or ribbon to hang (optional)
• Paint brushes 

Method – How to make the Wooden Snowflakes Craft

1. First, Gather all the materials together and you’re ready to get started.
2. Ask the kids to arrange the clothes pegs to make a snowflake shape as shown here in the pictures. You will want 8 wooden pegs per snowflake for the best results.
3. Once they are happy with their snowflake formations, glue all of the clothes pegs together and allow the glue to dry.
4. Once the glue is dry and your snowflake shapes are ready, it’s time to paint everything white
5. Sprinkle with glitter if desired for added Christmas sparkle.
6. If you want to hang these up on the Christmas tree, add a piece of string or ribbon through one of the holes in each snowflake and tie up to create a loop for hanging.
