SNOWFLAKE ART PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
Print our free Snowflake Art Craft Template on white cardstock paper. We’ll be getting the paper wet, so you’ll want thick paper if possible. Turn over the template so that you are creating on the backside.
2. Use water to wet the paper a bit, then add the bleeding tissue paper circles in an overlapping fashion. You’ll want to think about your color choices so that you have colors blending into different hues, or even complementary colors to help the project pop. Check out the first photo above noting the color tones, using pastels for the single circles and darker colors for the base.
3. Add water over the top of the circles to ensure they are bleeding the colors onto the paper. However, be careful not to add too much water or you’ll get a “muted” look as the colors will be washed out a bit. Just enough water to transfer. Try it on scrap paper for best results.
4. Once you have the outline filled with tissue paper, set the project aside to dry. Use a blowdryer set to “low” to speed up the drying process.
5. When dry, shake or peel off the tissue paper. Once the tissue paper is removed, the color still remains. Flip your project back over so you can see your gorgeous snowflake outline.
6. Cut out all of the shapes following the black lines so that your snowflake is in several pieces. You’ll put them all back together so note unique pattern.
7. Choose a piece of construction paper with a dark color as your background. Begin laying out each element of the Snowflake in respective order.
Leave space in between each snowflake pattern as shown below. The space will help make your snowflake POP!
8. Glue all pieces in sequential order as shown above.
9. Your Crafty Classroom Snowflake Art Project is complete!
Don’t forget to frame your project to ensure it lasts a lifetime! What a fun Christmas decoration to pull out each winter or Christmas. If you’d like to scale down this project and create a set of unique Christmas cards, it’s really simple to do! Just set your printer to print multiple pages per sheet and you’ll have a template perfect for cards of any occasion.
