Decorating for winter is so much fun especially when you get to bring the snow indoors while staying toasty warm!
To celebrate winter I made these easy DIY Yarn Snowflakes:
I added two of these yarn snowflakes to my Winter Mantle:
To make a snowflake:
Supplies:
Bamboo skewers
Chunky White Yarn
Wire
Wire cutters
Hot glue
Scissors
Tutorial:
Take 2 bamboo skewers and overlap them on one end and wire together, using wire snips to snip off the end of wire:
Make 4 of these wired bamboo sticks in total.
Hot glue the center of each of these wired bamboo sticks, one on top of the other, to form a snowflake shape.
Wrap yarn around the middle 3- 4 times then wind the yarn around each of the snowflake ‘arms’ until the entire snowflake is wrapped. Wind 3 times around the middle, tie the yarn in a knot and cut the yarn.
(Pssst…see the miniature version of this DIY Snowflake on my DIY Winter Wreath!)
