Click to see final image.
Delicate snowflakes can be made with your own hands. For this you will need macaroni of different shapes. An easy kids’ craft project will be favored by your kid.
Use your imagination and make a Christmas tree ornament as snowflakes have their own inimitable beauty.
Tools and Materials:
macaroni:
- fiori pasta/ flower pasta
- tortiglioni
- a glue gun
- white acrylic paint
- a brush
Step-by-step instructions:
1
Take two kinds of macaroni. Inlay the snowflake without gluing and pay attention to the factthat it has 6 “arms”. This is how many “arms” any snowflake has!
2
Apply the glue with the help of the glue gun to one fiori pasta item. Stick 6 tortiglioni items to it in a circle and then glue a flower pasta item to each tortiglioni one. Do you know that the snowflake shape depends on the climate? The most beautiful and complicated in their structure snowflakes appear in the places where the climate is more severe and where the climate is milder the structures of snow crystals are simpler.
3
The craft can be decorated with white acrylic paint. After the paint is dried you can run a white thread through fiori pasta and hang the snowflake on the Christmas tree. Or it is possible to make a wonderful pendant which has no equal in its beauty. You will never buy such an exclusive snowy embellishment in a shop. Santa will like your craft for sure!
