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!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.
