DIY Glitter Snowflake Ornaments

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. Can you believe it? This year I got my decorating done early thinking I’d have more time to enjoy the holiday as opposed to rushing around. The time has gone by so fast!  If you need a quick and easy project to finish up your decorating, you might enjoy these DIY glitter snowflake ornaments.

I love how these glittery snowflakes add a bit of bling to the holiday.

Hang them individually on your tree, or make a garland to wrap around it.

 

They started out as plain wooden snowflakes from the craft store.

I didn’t pay a lot for them, and you can find them in different sizes.

 

I painted half of them light gray, and half of them off white using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

Chalk paint dries super fast so I was able to finish these snowflakes in less than 2 hours.

Most of that time was simply waiting for the paint to dry.

 

After the paint dried, I brushed on Mod Podge.

 Working quickly, I sprinkled two types of glitter.

I used both a fine glitter and glitter flakes. The glitter flakes add a little more texture.

 

I clipped them onto a sparkly strand with clothespins to dry.

I liked the way they looked so kept them just like this.

You could hot glue a small loop onto them to hang from the tree.

 

Or simply keep them displayed as a garland or banner.

I love my new DIY glitter snowflake ornaments.
