Frosted Hot Glue Snowflake

Pin It
Hi all! We have less than a week until Thanksgiving! Ahhh! Which means, less than a week to Black Friday :) I'm not much of a Black Friday shopper. I've done it twice since I've been married and once was a complete dud. So, unless I find an awesome incredible deal, I'll just stay home and go online. Plus, I'm definitely not a fan of stores opening up on Thanksgiving. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyway, today is day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas Crafts series! Today I'm showing you a super, simple cute ornament only involving one thing: Hot Glue.

I was planning on doing something like this with some school glue, but then I didn't have enough, so I went to the next best thing. It was fun trying to find what surface this stuck to and didn't stick to. Then I played around with some non-stick spray, and that was the winner!

So, I grabbed a plate, sprayed some non-stick spray onto it and then took a paper towel and wiped it off a little bit. I still left enough of the spray though so it would work, I just didn't want a ton of yellow crap all over my snowflake :) For the snowflake shape itself, I just went with all straight lines making it easy.

 Once it cooled down, I carefully pulled it off the plate. I then took some scissors and cleaned it up a bit.

 Or add some glitter! I brushed on some school glue onto the snowflake, and then sprinkled on some glitter to give it a frosted look.

 This twinkles in the light so well. I love how it turned out! Quickest, easiest, and cheapest ornament ever....well, at least in this series :)
