Here's an easy craft for older kids that will extend the decorations in your home past the holidays and through the winter.
This inexpensive craft uses just a glue gun and a little glitter. All ages will enjoy the results, but younger kids will need a lot of supervision.
What You Need:
- Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Glitter
- Parchment paper
- Permanent marker (e.g., Sharpie)
What You Do:
1. Draw a snowflake design on the parchment paper using a permanent marker. Turn the paper over, so the ink doesn't bleed onto the glue.
2. Using a low temp glue gun, trace the snowflakes in glue.
3. Sprinkle glitter on the glue while hot.
4. Let snowflakes cool completely. You can pick off the extra glue threads or leave them on ~ either way looks pretty.
5. Peel off the parchment paper and place snowflakes on a window. Your window needs to be clean and dry to get them to stick. If the window is cold, we found that heating the snowflake with a hairdryer immediately before applying helps it to stick to the window better.
