Sparkly Snowflake Ornament

Why

These ornaments are "snow" pretty! Capture the sparkle of freshly fallen snowflakes!

Steps

1. Follow the directions to use your Crayola Cutter. Cut out the center of a small paper plate—or make other more intricate interior cuts--to create holes in the plate.

2. Be creative! Use Crayola Twistables® Crayons to decorate around the edges of your cut-outs.

3. Cover the holes with tape so the sticky side faces the front of the ornament. On the sticky tape, spread Crayola Glitter Glue to create a "snowy" look! Use more glitter glue to decorate the edges of your ornament. Air-dry the glitter glue on one side before turning it over to decorate the other side.

4. Cut a little hole at the top of the ornament. Insert yarn, string, or ribbon and tie. Hang your sparkling snowflake in a window or doorway for everyone to enjoy! Why not make several to decorate for the winter?
