DIY Chic Popsicle Stick Christmas Decor

This weekend I started working decorating my house for Christmas. This year I am doing blue and silver and I wanted to do some of my own projects. I found a great deal on popsicle sticks (150 for .75!) so I bought a ton and started looking for ideas for things to make out of them.  Here are some of the results:

I ended up making 3 giant snowflakes to hang on the wall, 18 mini snowflakes to hang on the tree and a star for the top of the tree all out of snowflakes.  Here are some pictures of the giant snowflake building process.

Materials Used:

  • About 110 popsicle sticks
  • Gray  and blue craft paint
  • Blue and Clear Glitter Glue
  • Paint Brushes
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Ribbon
  • Rhinestone stickers
  • Ornament Hooks

For the snowflakes, I was inspired by Crafty Nest – you can actually see complete instructions for some of the designs on there – as well as more design ideas.   I choose to paint mine in a blue gray color and then add a coat of glitter paint for shine. I used clear glitter on the larger two and blue glitter paint on the smaller one. One they were done, I used blue ribbon to hang them.

For the tree ornaments, we made three versions: blue with clear glitter and clear rhinestones, blue with clear glitter and blue rhinestones and grey with blue glitter and blue rhinestones.  I used 3 sticks for each ornament and hot glued a wire ornament hook to the back of each ornament for hanging.
