How to Make a Snowflake

The weather has been a little crazy lately. Some days were very cold, windy and rainy. We did have a little ice on the roads and schools started 2 hours late. 
This is the perfect time to make our very own snowflakes. 
It’s actually very simple and quick to make. Here are some detailed pictures to this cute snowflake craft.

Materials needed:

1- Beads

2- Two pipe cleaners

Steps:

1- Take one long pipe cleaner.

Fold it in half and cut it into two small pieces.

2-  Take the second pipe cleaner and cut it just a little bit longer so that you can make a loop at the top.

3-  Take the two small pieces and lay them like this.
4-   Take the longer piece and lay it straight down the middle, like this.
5-   Remember the left over piece? Lay it on top of all the other pipe cleaners.

 And wrap it around them, like this.

 6-  The snowflake shape is done. It’s time to decorate it.  Simply slide each bead into the pipe cleaners. The more you use, the more colorful it will be 🙂

7-   Here’s the finished snowflake craft.
8-   Now, you can put it on a window as a sun catcher.

Or, decorate your Christmas tree.

Have fun creating your own snowflake with beads:)
