Floating Snowflake Christmas Ornament

This was a fun guest post I did over at Today’s Creative Life and I thought I’d share here too. I hope you love this fun ornament idea as much as I do!

I’ve been working on adding more handmade ornaments to our tree this year and I’m absolutely thrilled to be here to share a fun Floating Snowflake Christmas Ornament idea that I’ve put together. This literally can go together in less than 10 minutes and you can get your kids involved in the process, too. It’s a holiday miracle!

Materials:

3 in. round plastic ornament

white copy paper

pencil

scissors

faux snowflakes

white twine or fishing line

cup

Directions:

1. Use the cup and pencil to trace a circle approximately 3 inches around on the copy paper. Cut the circle out.

2. Fold the circle into quarters and crease each edge really well.

3. This is where the kids can take part or you can choose to do this on your own. Use the scissors to trim on each edge to create a snowflake. Get creative!

4. Remove the cap from the ornament. Use half of the sheet of copy paper to create a funnel to pour the faux snowflakes through.

5. Carefully string the twine or fishing line through the small holes in the cap of the ornament. I like the twine myself because it isn’t as curly as fishing line and it blends nicely with the ornament cap.
