Glittery Snowflake Wreath

For an easy wreath in a flash, use premade snowflake ornaments (fiberglass or resin ornaments look especially frosty) and a flat foam wreath. Remove the string hangers from the ornaments and position on the wreath. Once you’re satisfied with the arrangement, hot-glue the snowflakes into place. Thread wide ribbon (we layered red on top of white here) through the wreath and hang.

Snowflake Chair Decoration

Decorate your chairs with snowflake name tags. Clip together small rectangles of scrapbook paper and top with a snowflake cutout. Write a guest’s name on the top square. To hang, cut a length of ribbon to fit around the chair back. Wrap part of the ribbon (near the middle of the length) around the curve of a candy cane. Tie the name tag string around the candy cane, then tie the ribbon around the chair.

Snowflake Gift Card Holder

Present a gift card with panache using just a few scrapbook supplies. Embellish a chipboard snowflake from a scrapbook or crafts stores with stickers and miniature rhinestones. Attach a gift card to the center with repositionable adhesive. To hang on a Christmas tree, glue a looped ribbon to the back.

Snowflake Luminaria

Light up a walkway with a snowflake motif luminaria. Use a snowflake paper punch to create the designs on a paper bag. Punch holes in the top edge of the bag and weave ribbon through the holes. Fill the bags with sand or aquarium rocks for weight. Add a candle and watch the light shine through the design.

Editor’s Tip: Never leave lit candles unattended. Use battery-operated candles if you cannot monitor the lit luminaria.
