Simple Snowflake Ornament How-to
If you like crafting as much as I do, I’m sure by now you know how handy Q-Tips can be in the craft room. They’re perfect for applying glue or paint in tight spaces, removing dust & dirt in crevices, and countless other things!I recently thought of one way to incorporate them into my Christmas decor as well! As soon as I saw these Precision Tips Q-Tips, I thought they’d be perfect for making a snowflake ornament.
Using a few dabs of hot glue, I glued four of them together at their centers, and sure enough, it became a snowflake!
A little loop of fishing wire glued to the back makes a great way to hang them…
For a more sparkly look, add a little gem sticker to the center!
In keeping with my clean & simple Christmas decor, I hung them on my urn of sticks & they add just the right amount of Christmas cheer. This is a perfect little craft to make with the kids as well!

And just think, you can clean all the kid's ears, when Christmas is over! You are so incredibly talented, but q-tip ornaments? It's easy for me to critique…I haven't started decorating!
