    Great ideas! We have a "craft time" to entertain the kids while their parents shop for Christmas gifts at the food pantry, and I think we'll try making these, the snowflake especially.
    If I drown in a sea of glitter and sparkle until Easter--it's your fault!

    What a cute idea, thanks for posting it.
    One of my grandsons is a craft person so he and I could make some of the snowflakes and flowers. But I really don't have to wait for him to be here I can make myself a few dozen of the snowflakes. ;)

    Glad you enjoyed.

    Marlin - Use the paint on glitter its easier, or paints with glitter in them.
    And it's ok to be glittery for the holidays.

    I was just complaining the other day how expensive Christmas decorations are. Now I have the perfect solution for both Christman decorations and something fun to do with the kids! Thanks for sharing this!
