Feel the approach New Year and festive paraphernalia always helps us to plunge into its fabulous atmosphere - a Christmas tree, iridescent garlands, sparkling balls and other beauty. In this master class, I will tell you how to quickly and easily make a snowflake out of glue with your own hands, which will decorate your New Year's interior.
Snowflakes from glue: materials for making
Glue snowflakes are easy to make and look very beautiful. Their main advantage is that they can be given any shape, size, color and texture. As a result, you will have an original and exclusive Christmas decoration. And you will undoubtedly enjoy the creative process.
In order to make a snowflake, we need the following materials:
- Glue gun and sticks to it.
- PVA glue.
- Baking parchment.
- Sequins (can be of any color and size).
- Snowflake stencils.
- Brush.
- Narrow satin ribbon.
How to make a hot glue snowflake
Step one: cut off a piece of parchment and place it on top of the stencil of the snowflakes you like.
Step two: we warm up the glue gun and draw a snowflake with it on parchment along the contour of the stencil.
If you don't have a glue gun at hand, then the frame of the snowflake can be made from regular PVA. The only thing is that it will dry much longer, and the snowflake will not turn out to be very voluminous. Although this can be easily fixed if the first coat is made of regular table salt before applying the glitter.
Step three: wait for the glue to dry thoroughly. This takes about 15 minutes. Then, carefully separate the frame of the snowflake from the paper.
Step four: remove the thin cobweb that formed during the work. Here's what happened in the end.
Step five: move on to decorating the snowflake. Apply PVA glue with a brush, in turn, to each segment. And immediately sprinkle it with sparkles. I used white, silver and blue. This must be done on both sides. Then let the glue dry a little.
Step six: we tie a satin ribbon to the resulting snowflake and decorate our Christmas tree.
By this principle, you can make many snowflakes in the same style. They are perfect for creating New Year's compositions - wreaths of spruce branches, candles and other crafts.
We congratulate you on the upcoming holidays and wish you creative success in the New Year!
