Whether you are looking for a fun homemade Christmas ornament or just a winter craft idea, these craft stick snowflake crafts are sure to be a hit with kids of all ages.

We had so much fun with our relief painting snowflake craft that we couldn’t wait to try our hand at another fun craft with snowflakes.

These sparkling snowflakes look pretty on a tree or can be turned into magnets to hang on the refrigerator.

Craft Stick Snowflake Craft

For each snowflake you will need:

• 3 craft sticks
• Hot glue
• White craft glue (We used Elmer’s School Glue.)
• A variety of small beads, sequins, glitter, and gems

To begin your snowflake, hot glue three craft sticks together in a snowflake shape.  (As seen in the picture.)

If you are crafting with young children, it is best to do this step ahead of time.

Older kids can hot glue them on their own, with an adult present.  Since hot glue dries fast,  you will be ready to decorate right away!

Once you have your snowflake shapes ready, allow your child to use craft glue to add small beads, sequins, gems, or glitter to decorate the snowflakes.

Allow to dry for several hours, depending on how much glue your little ones use!

Once the snowflakes are completely dry, you have several options.

• Your child may choose to leave a sparkly snowflake somewhere for someone to find and enjoy.  (We left one near our favorite librarian’s desk.)
• You can hot glue a magnet to the back and hang them on the refrigerator.
• Or, hot glue a loop of ribbon or yarn to the backs and turn them into snowflake ornaments.

Snowflake crafts are perfect all winter long.

These sparkly craft stick snowflakes are sure to brighten up those grey winter days.

Make this homemade hand print reindeer sweatshirt and keep ’em warm and smiling this season!

Handprint Reindeer Sweatshirt

Materials needed:

• • Sweatshirt (or t-shirt) in a light color  (We chose white.)
  • Red and brown fabric paint (like this fabric paint on Amazon)
  • Fabric markers
  • Large round sponge (Cut a circle from a kitchen sponge or use a round paint sponge.)
  • Paint brushes (optional)

Pour a small amount of red fabric paint onto a paper plate.  Press the round sponge into the paint, making sure to coat one side of the sponge completely with paint.  (You could also use a paint brush to cover the sponge in paint.)

Press the sponge onto the center of the front of the sweatshirt.  This will be your reindeer’s nose!

You could also have the child press their hands into the paint, but using a paint brush will be a bit less messy and will ensure a complete coverage of paint for their hand print.  (Tip:  After the first hand print is made, wipe the paint off their hand before doing the second hand!)      You will want to make sure they place their hands far enough from the red circle to add eyes in later!

Let the paint dry completely before finishing the hand print reindeer design.  (We let ours dry overnight.)

Once the paint is dry you can add in eyes and a mouth with fabric markers.  Make sure to let your shirt dry completely before wearing!  (Check the directions on both the fabric paint and markers; each type is different!)

This hand print reindeer craft makes a cute sweatshirt for little ones to wear, and would look cute on a fabric tote for a gift as well!
