Step By Step DIY Popsicle Stick Snowflake Ornament Craft Instructions:
STEP 1: Take three popsicle sticks to make a basic snowflake shape. Arrange them in a snowflake shape (* shape) by overlapping one stick on the other. Once you are satisfied with the shape, glue them where they overlap, set them aside, and let them dry completely.
STEP 2: It’s time to add some color to our snowflake Christmas ornaments. Take blue paint (or the color of your choice) and paint the entire snowflake ornament in blue on both sides. You can apply a second coat for a deeper color. Set it aside until the paint is completely dry.
STEP 3: Time to decorate your Christmas snowflake ornament. Take glitter glue (you can also use glue and glitter powder). Start by decorating the tip of each stick for that frosty and sparkly look. For the rest of the part, you can go for one pattern/shape or you can also select a unique pattern for each stick. Once you have decorated your popsicle stick snowflake craft, let it sit aside until it’s completely dry to avoid any smudges.
STEP 4: To turn your snowflake craft into a snowflake Christmas ornament, you need to attach a piece of twine or a ribbon. Cut a small piece (about 6-8 inches) and glue it to the back top of the popsicle stick snowflakes. Let it dry completely to make sure the glue is completely dry and your ornament doesn’t fall off.
STEP 5: Take a final look at the snowflake ornament to ensure everything is glued properly and if any extra touchup is required. You can sprinkle some glitter powder on the wooden ornament when its still wet, for that extra glittery effect.
STEP 6: Your DIY Popsicle Stick Snowflake Ornament craft is ready to enhance the look of your Christmas tree decorations. Use this snowflake ornament to decorate your Christmas tree, decorate your holiday front door, or use it as a handmade Christmas gift.

Tip 1: To make a perfect popsile stick snowflake, make a layout before and mark a point where you want to layer the sticks on one another before gluing. This will help to maintain the symmetrical shape and also makes everything easier.
Tip 2: Use a piece of cardstock in between the stick when gluing to make the Christmas ornament more sturdy specially when making multiple ornaments and also gives a layered look.
Tip 3: Always try to add different patterns and shapes to decorate your popsicle Christmas ornaments. Use shapes like zigzag, stars, dots and strings to make each popsicle stick ornament look different and unique.
Tip 4: For a rustic and snowy feel you can also use chalk paint. You can also use metallic gold or silver for that extra shiny effect or shimmery painr for that frosty look.
Tip 5: You can use rhinestones, gemstones, beads and sequins for the frosty glittery effect. These mimic the shine of the real snowflakes and also add more dimension and unique touch.
