Supplies:
1) Hot glue gun and glue sticks
2) Wax paper
3) Dish soap
4) Ornament template
5) Glitter
6) Mod Podge
7) Small paint brush
8) String or wire
Step #1:
Search google for snowflake templates and print them out. Use an image with simple lines.
Step #2:
Set your wax paper over the image. Mix a small amount of dish soap with a little bit of water and spread it over the wax paper. Trace the image with the hot glue.
Step #3:
Wait for the hot glue to dry, then peel off the snowflake. Gently wash the ornament with a little bit of water to remove the dish soap.
Step #4:
Cover your snowflake with Mod Podge using a small brush.
Step #5:
Cover the snowflake with glitter.
Step #6:
Add a hanger to your snowflake by making a loop out of wire and glue it to the back of the snowflake. Wait for the glue to dry and hang up your ornament!

They are lovely and look so simple to make. I do have a question though. As we all know, even the oldest stuck on hot glue can easily be removed simply by heating it up a little with a blow dryer or other heat source. What prevents this from getting all sticking and losing their shape while packed away in the heat of the summer. The attic can get quite warm.
