Start by gathering all the materials you will need for your snowflake ornament.

You will need 4 colored popsicle sticks, glue, glitter, string or twine, and scissors. If you have plain popsicle sticks, use paint to color them.

Once everything is ready, you can begin making your snowflake.

Step 2: Create the snowflake shape

Start with one popsicle stick and add a little glue to the center.

Place a second popsicle stick across it to form a cross.

Repeat the same process with the remaining popsicle sticks, gluing each one across the center and turning it slightly each time.

Keep adding the sticks until you have a six-pointed snowflake shape.
