Directions:
- First have children paint their paper plate however they like. A nice shade of dark blue is nice but any color will do. Just remember to make it a shade darker than your paper straws.
- Sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint, before setting it aside to let it dry.
- Now grab your paper straws and scissors. Trim them down for your snowflake design.
- Start laying/planning out the design you will be making for your snowflake.
- Next is finally putting the snowflake design together! Glue down a single rhinestone to the center of your paper plate. This will be your guide and center of the snowflake.
- Now one by one – start gluing your paper straws in place on the paper plate.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly for ALL to see!
