{Easy} Snowflake Wreath


I love snowflakes! They are my favorite thing to decorate with in January.

After I saw a post online where ladies used snowflakes to make different crafts, I thought that I could make a wreath.

I had tons of snowflakes collected from previous years decorating for Christmas so I didn’t have to buy anything for this project.

Supplies used: snowflakes, hot glue gun, and some wax paper.

(Tip: the wax paper did not work very well... the hot glue stuck to the wax paper and it was difficult to pull it off without tearing the wax paper and the paper stuck to the back of the wreath. So maybe parchment paper would be better.)


After gathering my supply of snowflakes... I had a variety of different ones... I started laying out the inner circle. I arrange them overlapping the edges and alternating different designs so I didn’t have two of the same snowflake next which other.

Once I got my first row arranged, I glued it all together with the hot glue gun.

I did the same thing on the second row... I arranged the snowflakes and once I liked the layout then I glued them together with a glue gun.

I love using the glue gun because it dries so fast and as soon as I was done I could hang it up on my front door. It was really simple to make but it was more time-consuming than I thought it would be. So if you’re thinking of making a snowflake project plan for a little bit of time.


Happy crafting!

my little Christmas tree

I love my small Christmas tree, because it is the only one I get to choose how to decorate. I guess that’s how it is when you have a family and kids… they kind of dictate how the big tree is decorated {with a little help}.
