Wood Snowflake Star

Hi friends,

I’m still thinking about Christmas in July on these hot Summer days! It’s the perfect time to spend some time indoors crafting for the season. πŸŽ„

Today I’m sharing an easy to make Wood Snowflake Star. It will be fun to hang on a door, prop up on your mantel, or even hang on your tree if you want to make a big statement. πŸ˜‰

You’ll need a 10-inch unfinished wood star, 8-inch unfinished wood snowflake, scrapbook paper, white acrylic paint, extra fine glitter, Mod Podge, and various ribbons for the bow. I got my star and snowflake from Hobby Lobby last Christmas season – I suspect they will have them again this year. You can also find a similar star here and similar snowflake here on Amazon.

First, trace the star on the back of the scrapbook paper and cut it out. Using a foam brush, apply a thin coat of Mod Podge on the star and smooth the scrapbook paper onto the star. Once dry, apply a thin coat of Mod Podge over the top.

Paint the snowflake with 2 coats of white paint, letting it dry between coats. Before the 2nd coat is dry, sprinkle the glitter onto the snowflake. Once the paint was completely dry, I sprayed a light coat of matte sealing spray over the top to help seal in the glitter.

Using E6000 clear adhesive, I glued the snowflake to the star. I made a simple Re-Fabbed bow with various ribbons and glued it to the top of the snowflake. I tied a loop of natural twine and red/white bakers twine through the hole at the top of the star for a hanger. If your star doesn’t have a hole, you can add one before adhering the paper or glue your hanger to the back on the star.

This was a fun project to make! You can also make a smaller version of the Wood Snowflake Star by using smaller wood pieces. Smaller ones would make great packages tie-ons.🎁
