CRAFT

CREATE YOUR OWN FLAKES FOR A FESTIVE WALL LOOK

You will need

• Craft iceblock sticks in two lengths − 6 longer craft sticks and 24 of a shorter length

• Ruler and pencil

• Hot glue gun

• Testpot brush

• Testpots in Resene

Half Pohutukawa and Resene Red Herring

How to make it

1 Plan out your pattern. We used three, with two larger snowflakes and a smaller one. Mark the position of where to glue the shorter sticks to the longer sticks, then glue two of the shorter sticks onto each side at about a 45-degree angle on each side. Repeat with the two other sticks. Repeat for all six of the longer sticks too.

2 Glue each of the snowflake arms together in the centre. Two sets of sticks should line up across from each other to create three straight lines.

3 Paint the snowflakes in your chosen colour – we used Resene Half Pohutukawa and Resene Red Herring.

Once dry, arrange them on your wall, using Blu-Tack.

Note: You could also paint the sticks before you arrange them.
