\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

Every year, Alex and I make an ornament for the tree. This little toilet paper roll snowflake was the one for this year (last year we did a Nativity ornament<\/a>, and the year before we did some delightfully aromatic cinnamon-scented ornaments<\/a>). This guy was super simple, and really fun. <\/p>\n

It was also Alex’s first time working with glitter, and guys, if you want to see what joy looks like, just let a 3 year old use glitter. I’ve avoided it thus far because I was scared of the mess, and we are still finding glitter two weeks later, but I’ve had this realization recently that I limit my kids a lot because of my own scaredy-catness. For instance, one of my kids would not go down the slide for the longest time. It took me forever to realize that anytime they got near a slide, I freaked out – “Turn around! Go down backwards! Wait! I’ll catch you!” I must have communicated that a slide was some sort of vicious child-murdering thing, because they were terrified. When I finally put it together and backed off, they tried sliding and now I can’t get them off the dang things. <\/p>\n

Anyway, tl;dr, I’m trying to get over some of my uptightness and fears with my kids. So when I was coming up ideas with this year’s ornament, I decided that I owned a broom and a vacuum cleaner, and we were doing this. It was a good choice. He loved it, and I get the memory of his gigantic smile and enthusiastic glittering. That’s worth a little mess, I guess. <\/p>\n

Materials<\/h2>\n

toilet paper tube<\/p>\n

ruler<\/p>\n

pencil<\/p>\n

scissors<\/p>\n

clothespins<\/p>\n

glue<\/p>\n

paint<\/p>\n

glitter<\/p>\n

ribbon<\/p>\n

Snowflake Ornaments, Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n

Start by marking 1\/4″ segments on your toilet paper tube. These don’t have to be perfectly exact, but do try to get them roughly the same size.<\/p>\n

\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, cut the pieces out and slightly flatten them so they take on an oval shape.<\/p>\n

\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

For each snowflake, you’ll need 6 segments. Glue them together at their base and use clothespins to hold them together for 15-20 minutes while the glue dries.<\/p>\n

\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the glue is dry, remove the clothespins and paint! We used a flat white color for one of the snowflakes, and a metallic silver enamel for the other. I highly, highly recommend the enamel. It added a gorgeous sheen to the finished product. <\/p>\n

Before the paint dries, sprinkle glitter all over the snowflake, then lay it down to dry. If you miss your window, and the paint dries, just paint a small amount of glue over your snowflake, then glitter it. <\/p>\n

\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

We let ours dry for an hour, then added a ribbon loop to hang it from the tree. <\/p>\n

\"Toilet<\/a><\/p>\n

So there you go. It’s a fun, kid-friendly project – as long as you’re brave enough to trust your littles with glitter!<\/p>\n
