Winter is here, and that means it's snowflake season! Snowflakes are so cool – they're like tiny stars made of ice!
And guess what? We will make our own snowflakes today, but not with ice! We'll use Q-tips to create amazing 3D Winter Snowflakes you can decorate and hang up. It's super easy and super fun! So grab your supplies, and let's get crafting!
Step #1
Cut a small circle from your cardboard. The smaller the circle, the easier to conceal with the Q-tips. This circle will form the central backing of your snowflake, providing a stable foundation.
Step #2
Take six whole Q-tips. Glue them into the cardboard circle, arranging them as follows: one pointing straight up, one straight down, and two on each side (left and right). Think of it like a plus sign with Q-tips.
Step #3
To add dimension, Cut three Q-tips in half. You will use these to make parts of 3D Winter Snowflakes of different lengths.
Step #4
Glue these halves between the whole Q-tips you placed in the previous step. This will add depth and complexity to your snowflake.
Step #5
Now, cut only the ends off several Q-tips (about a quarter inch).

Step #6
Glue two of these short Q-tip pieces to each end of your 3D winter snowflake – both the longer ends (the original whole Q-tips) and the shorter ends (the halved Q-tips). This adds delicate points and sparkle.
Step #7
Cut a piece of decorative thread or string. Tie a loop and glue it to the top back of the cardboard circle. This will allow you to hang your finished 3D winter snowflake.
