I’m sure you all are rolling your eyes are you scroll through Pinterest and see Christmas, Christmas everywhere. I know, it’s early. But time is flying and these handmade projects take time so starting early is a must. At least that’s how I’m excusing myself šŸ™‚

DIY Oversized Snowflakes copy

I love oversized wall art. These giant popsicle stick snowflakes are the perfect oversized wall art for the holidays. And hello, popsicles sticks = cheap craft! Plus, they are super easy to make. I think that meets all of my holiday crafting criteria.

Supplies needed:

Glue gun

popsicle sticks

You can google some snowflake designs if you’d like or just wing it. I headed to google images…

Just as you would imagine, you simplyĀ use your hot glue gun to attach the popsicle sticks together. Start in the middle and work out that way things stay as even as possible.

Before spray painting the snowflakes, make sure you removed all of the glue strings (spider webbies as my daughter calls them).

I sprayed mine with a layer of gold paint and then a layer of gold glitter paint for a little bling.

Popsicle stick snowflakes are a thing now, can’t you tell? They are really cute on the wall. Since they are light – gluedots or double sided tape is enough to hold them up. I think they would also be great hanging from the ceiling for a holiday party. Now you can go make a hundred or so šŸ˜‰

    What brand of gold spray paint did you use? And how would you recommend attaching them to the wall without it damaging the wall?

    I was wondering how you get the snowflakes to stick to the wall without putting a nail hole into it. Thank you!

      Hi Billie, I used some 3M mounting strips, cut in half. The snowflakes are really light so a couple strips was all I needed.

    How did you get yours to stay together? I’ve made them and they turned out AMAZING! I hung one on our door and it looked great. My problem was the sticks kept coming unstuck. Any helpful suggestions?

      Hey Jess, are you using hot glue? I had no problem keeping mine together with hot glue. If you’re still having a hard time maybe try using some gorilla glue? Small amounts.

      I don’t see why not! I’d probably spray some poly on it to protect them from the elements but I think that’s a great idea.

#ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
šŸ’™
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. šŸ’™šŸ’™
