Sparkling Snowflakes

Create an indoor snowstorm with these sparkling snowflakes made with pipe cleaners.

Materials

Steps

Twist Pipe Cleaners

Twist the centers of the three pipe cleaners together so that six pipe-cleaner arms fan out like a star.

Thread Pasta Onto Pipe Cleaners

Thread pasta pieces onto each arm, leaving extra room at the ends to tie a loop. Loop the end of each arm by twisting the pipe cleaner.

Attach String

Twist the end of the top arm around a piece of white string.

Paint and Add Glitter

Paint your creation with white paint. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle on glitter.
Let dry and hang with a thumbtack or strong tape.
