It's well known that Q-tips are great for everyday use, but did you know they make great snowflakes as well?!
I know you've all got some in your bathroom so go dig them out & get crafting!
Supplies- Q-tips, Glue, Scissors, Blue Construction Paper, (the tape is optional)
1. Leave a few of the Q-tips whole & then begin cutting the others in half.
I cut some in half, some a bit shorter than half & a few right under the cotton swab so they are all different lengths.
2. Begin drawing lines with the glue on the blue construction paper. (Pictured below.) One line at a time.
3. Place the various Q-tips onto the glue lines beginning with the center (whole) Q-tip & then adding the cut ones afterwards.
4. It's important that you put enough glue on the paper so that the Q-tips will dry into the glue. It's a mess @ first but it all dries clear!
5. Repeat with each snowflake. (We chose to do three.)
6. Allow a few hours for the glue to completely dry.
7. We chose to add a few foam letters to jazz up our snowflake picture for Daddy so he could hang it in his office.
All done!
Have fun & enjoy! s.b.
Just found your site and LOVE it! I've added myself as a follower and bookmarked some of your crafts to try. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, My son is visually impaired so this would be great for him to actually feel the snowflakes!
