Sparkle Snowflake Ornament Tutorial

I originally shared this post on Ucreate, but wanted to post it here in case you missed it.

At our house I’m the only girl, so I love the chance to add in glitter and Christmas time is the perfect time to sparkle it up. I love those large statement ornaments in the stores, but they usually come with a big price tag so I set out to create some of my own.

SUPPLIES:

Ribbon
White Cardstock*
Circle Edge Punch Starter Set*
Circle Edge Punch in Diamond Lace*
Glue Gun
Krylon Glitter Blast Glitter Spray in Silver Flash

*could be replaced by purchased doilies

First, cut 6 inch squares out of the cardstock. Place the square on the Circle Edge punch set to six inches and punch all around. Repeat until you have four.

Fold the snowflakes in half.

Take a piece of ribbon and loop it around and then fold the end in half and glue the ends together.

Glue the folds of the snowflakes together in the center with the ribbon in the middle so the pointy parts fan out equally.

Hold the ornament hanging from the ribbon in one hand and spray with glitter blast from the side about 10 inches away. The force of the spray will spin the ornament making it easy to coat evenly.

Hang to dry for a few hours.

That’s it! So simple, right?! I love how they make a big statement without denting your budget. The glitter looks beautiful reflecting the lights on the tree!
