The snowflakes I saw on display earlier today used straight edged standard craft sticks but we chose to try 'wooden skill sticks' which are notched on the edges. We the Small Crafty Crew (aka The Glitterati Guild) were greatly inspired by the snowflake-like design on our own Ebony Oyster's ship's flag (see above). These particular craft sticks are readily available in any craft store, Walmart, etc. Considering our current location this is the closest we'll get to seeing the real deal for many months.
Staying up all night while waiting for the glue to dry.
*If desired, you can first spray paint (or use craft paint) the wood sticks with a color of choice. Set aside to dry. Do this first before glueing the wood pieces together. It's your decision whether to [spray] paint one side or both sides.
Need:
-wooden skill sticks or craft sticks
-clear glue
-glitter in assorted colors
-glitter paint " " "
-iridescent sequins
-string or fishing line to hang (optional)
Other decorating ideas:
-*spray paint (silver, white, or gold) or craft paint
-scraps of metallic ribbon
-small buttons
(Spray paint the wood pieces. Set aside to dry. )
Glue wood pieces together in a snowflake design. I would suggest using no more than 4-5 wood pieces. After applying the glue, allow the snowflakes to dry at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
Decorate as desired.
Set aside to dry. Once the snowflakes are dry you can hang them up with yarn, thread, halyard, fishing line, etc.
