Glitter Pipe-Cleaner Snowflake

Top Tip

Straighten your pipe-cleaners as much as you can before using.

How to Make

Step 1

Glitter Pipe-Cleaner Snowflake

Take 3 light blue pipe cleaners and twist them together in the centre so that they have a 6-pointed shape. Make a loop with each tip and wrap it in the centre of the pot. Do this with each piece until you have the shape of a 6-petalled flower. Set them aside for later.

Step 2

Take 3 dark blue pipe cleaners and twist them in half to create a 6-pointed shape. Take 2 more dark blue pipe cleaners and cut them into quarters. Twist 6 of these quarters onto the ends of the dark blue tips so that the snowflake is three-pointed. Cut 3 dark blue pipe cleaners in half. Cut each piece in half to make 6 V shapes and attach the ends halfway up each snowflake tip. Set your dark blue snowflake aside for later.

Step 3

Take 2 pink pipe cleaners and cut them in half. Twist 3 in half together to make a 6-pointed shape. Cut 1 piece of pink pipe cleaner into 6 equal pieces and attach each small piece to the end of each pink dot to form the triple points. Place the pink snowflake on top of the dark blue snowflake and then on top of the light blue flower piece, lining them all up in the centre. Use a piece of pipe cleaner and wrap the centre pieces tightly together to secure them as one piece. Decorate your snowflake with mini glue dots with iridescent acrylic stones. Finish off the snowflake with a V-shaped ribbon and tie a knot to hang it up.
