Last year, we made these stained glass snowflake ornaments… they’re so fun, modern, and colorful, we couldn’t help but share them again. These ornaments are perfect for the slower days ahead, and for last minute, one of a kind gift ideas. So without further ado, how to make these easy stained glass snowflake ornaments!
Before and afters this time of year just make me happy. Especially this before and after.
Today’s craft project is this fun diy snowflake ornament!
They’re simple, modern and colorful! And the best part? They’re made from this gorgeous stained glass strips, so just like snowflakes, no two are alike.
Our {older} kiddos loved making these the other day – so they also make for fun family projects!
Wanna make some of your own?
Here’s what you’ll need: {some links may be affiliate links}
• stained glass strips – we love this online store for all things stained glass. We ordered the 3/4″ wide stained glass strips. I think we ended up ordering three of these, just because I was originally making another project in the beginning of the apocalypse. So make sure you get enough for plenty of variety.
•DAP RapidFuse Ultra Clear – this kind is THE BEST with glass. NOTE: I found a better glue after writing this one the first time, so super glue is seen in the pics. See another project we took on with Dap here, which has held up beautifully.
• velvet ribbon + scissors + hot glue – {to cut and attach}
What we do next, is ridiculously easy. Thus the fun.
Sometimes It’s so cathartic to create something so colorful with minimal effort. ;}
Take one strip + add another on top with the glue in a cross-like shape.
Then add another…
You can do three or four of them – I thought it was fun to add another color, so I went for four.
This glue dries pretty quickly but I gave it a moment, and cut a strip of this fun velvet ribbon.
Then I glued it together, and secured it to the back of each little snowflake with more glue. It was perfect to hold everything in place!
Tada!
After letting it dry for a moment, you’re done.
Aren’t these oh so pretty and fun?
We love the way they look, especially when the sunlight shines through!
They’re just GAWGEOUS, with All the sparkles and happy hues.
As always, let us know if you try them. We’d love to hear.
Just a fun little creation for the holidays.
Let us know if you have any questions. Have an inspired day!
