DIY Paper Roll Snowflakes

 


Here’s a list of what you’ll need. The affiliate links below will take you to products on Amazon that are similar to the supplies we used to make this craft:

Other than the paper rolls, we were able to find everything to make these paper roll snowflakes at the dollar store. You really only need a glue gun, white glue and some glitter.


The white paper rolls I used were a little over 4 inches long. You may need to adjust the measurements slightly depending on the size of the rolls you use.










Equipment

  • Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Disposable Plates
  • Ruler
  • Pencil

Materials

  • 3 White Toilet Paper Rolls
  • White Glue
  • Glitter SILVER + IRIDESCENT
  • Rhinestones CLEAR
  • Thin Ribbon SILVER

Instructions

  • Press down on the toilet paper rolls to flatten them.
  • Using a ruler, measure out and mark 1/2 inch sections on each paper roll.
  • Using the pencil marks as a guide, cut your strips. There should be at least 8 strips per roll.
  • Use 6 strips to form the center of your snowflake and then build your design around it. (Don't glue it yet).
  • Take the remaining 12 paper roll strips and fold them in half creating small V's or "bunny ears."
  • Design and layout your snowflake on a flat surface. If the snowflake is bigger than your disposable plate, you'll have to separate it into several smaller groups of pieces that actually fit into the plate.
  • Glue together the pieces in each section using a hot glue gun. Make sure each section of the snowflake still lies flat after you've glued it.
  • Pour a generous amount of white glue onto a disposable plate. Tilt the plate from side to side to stretch the glue puddle so that it's bigger than your snowflake sections. Take one snowflake section at a time and dip it into the glue, pressing down to make sure the entire surface is covered.
  • Pour a generous amount of glitter into another disposable plate. Immediately after dipping your small snowflake sections in glue, dip them in the glitter! Press down on each piece, to ensure even and consistent glitter coverage.
  • Once all of your smaller sections are glittered, allow them to dry completely.
  • When the glue and glitter is completely dry, glue together the larger sections using the hot glue gun until you've formed the complete snowflake shape.
  • Thread some silver ribbon through one of the pieces at the top of the snowflake and tie it into a knot.
  • Finish by adding a clear rhinestone to the center of the snowflake for a little extra bling!

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
