How to Make: Tissue Paper Snowflakes

| Filed Under: Christmas, Holiday, Home Decor, Kids Crafts, Tutorials

This is a sponsored post for the Elmer’s “Crafty Mamas” Blogger Crew. I have received compensation for this post, but the ideas and opinions are , as always, 100% my own!

Last week the littles and I were in the mood to make a fun winter-y craft on Ellie’s day off from preschool. For some reason, I’d rather make winter crafts then too many Christmas crafts as winter is a season that you can decorate for so much longer! These Tissue Paper Snowflakes are super easy to make, you just need tissue paper, Elmer’s school glue, and popsicle sticks…it’s a pretty craft project and fine motor skill practice all in one, woo hoo!
Here is what you need…

Large and small popsicle sticks

Tissue Paper

Elmer’s School Glue

Hot glue and gun (optional!)
You can glue your popsicle sticks together with the school glue but I found it faster to just use a hot glue gun since my littles were begging to get started!  You can glue them together in any design you like…let your imagination run wild. And since they are snowflakes they really don’t have to be perfect, that’s the beauty of this craft! Once your snowflakes are glued together, cut the tissue paper into small 1×1 inch or 2×2 inch squares.  Wrap them around the tip of an pencil eraser or just use your fingers to smoosh them up a bit and glue them to the snowflake. Make sure to glue the tissue paper all over, covering the entire snowflake. Once the snowflake is dry, hang it in your window to look at all winter long! Such a fun craft and so easy for little hands to do!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Love,

Maggie

    Hi,
    I have enjoyed sharing some of your ideas with my family and grandchildren.
    I’m curious as to why their is a photo of a lovely blonde lady for your facebook page????
    Second, can you possibly get rid of the Blog Her Banner that has recently begun popping up on the computer and even on the Ipad. There is a banner at the top and one at the bottom and they have to be exed on every page. I like several bloggers who post on Blog Her, but I will stop reading if this persists. I don’t shop from popup ads. I am asking because another Blogger said that she was not aware of ads. Maybe you and all the rest of the BlogHer users are not aware as well. Thanks and I do appreciate your shares. I’m making the Frozen lighted wreath for my 5 year old Grandaughter.
