How to Make Hot Glue Snowflakes

Materials:

- Hot glue gun

- Hot glue sticks

- Parchment paper

- Plastic straw or skewer

- Scissors

Instructions:

1.) Prepare your workspace. Cover your work surface with parchment paper to protect it from hot glue.

2.) Preheat your hot glue gun. Plug in your hot glue gun and allow it to heat up for several minutes.

3.) Create your snowflakes. Once your hot glue gun is heated, start by drawing a simple snowflake design on the parchment paper. You can use any design you like, but be sure to keep the lines relatively thin so that the snowflakes are easy to cut out.

4.) Trace your design with hot glue. Once you're happy with your design, use the hot glue gun to trace the lines of your snowflake. Be careful not to apply too much hot glue, or your snowflakes will be too thick and won't dry properly.

5.) Cool the snowflakes. Allow the hot glue snowflakes to cool completely before moving on to the next step. This will help to prevent them from warping.

6.) Cut out the snowflakes. Once the snowflakes are cool, use scissors to cut them out. Be careful not to cut into the hot glue lines.

7.) Add a hanging loop. To make it easy to hang your snowflakes, use a plastic straw or skewer to poke a small hole in the top of each snowflake. Then, thread a piece of string or ribbon through the hole.

8.) Display your snowflakes. Hang your hot glue snowflakes on your tree, in a window, or anywhere else you like!

Tips:

- To create multi-colored snowflakes, use different colored hot glue sticks.

- You can also add glitter or other embellishments to your snowflakes.

- Hot glue snowflakes are a great way to make unique and personalized gifts for friends and family.
