today i am gonna show you how to make your own sparkly snowflakes
and we are gonna be using a glue gun
start by taking some baking paper
cut off a strip
and lay it flat on the table
then choose a glue stick
you could just use an ordinary white sticks
but i am gonna use these silver glitter sticks to give this some real sparkle
it just slides straight into your glue gun and works like normal
you need to start by squeezing out any old glue that is left in the glue gun
then when the glitter comes through, it is ready to use
just start drawing out your snowflake design onto the paper
add another glue stick if you need to
and finish off your design
if you are just making up your own design as you go along it can be difficult but i will give you a tip in a minute
if you want to be abled to hang it up when it is finished you can take a thread and glue it to the snow flake
just leave it to dry
then peel it off the paper
you can use tweezers to clean up any stringy bits
and if you want to you can use scissors to tidy up any edges
and thats our snowflake done
it is pretty cool but its not that symmetrical so it looks a bit weird
so for the next ones i am gonna do i have drawn some snowflakes on the computer which i am gonna print out and copy
if you want to use these designs you can just screen grab this image and print them out
lay the paper on the table and place some baking paper on top
it is clear enough to see the image underneath
so we can just trace the design withour glue gun
keep working your way around
and try to stick to the lines as much as possible
when you get to the end you can glue in a thread again
you can make a whole load of them with different designs or you could try using different colured glue sticks
it is actually really fun making them and when they are done these symmetrical ones look really good
add your thread
and leave them to dry
when they are ready peel them off
and tidy up any edges
and they look really good
you can put them in a window
or hang them up on a tree
