My kids love crafts and lately they have been getting into popsicle stick crafts at school so we have carried that home and made this Popsicle Stick Snowflake Craft we have a massive amount of buttons too so we used them to make it an easy DIY Button Snowflake too!
Easy DIY Button Snowflake – Popsicle Stick Snowflake Craft
I like getting my popsicle sticks on Amazon you can get over a 1,000 of them for less than $10 or a few hundred for less than $5!
For the buttons, I also like buying bulk button sets on Amazon you can normally get 1,000 for under $10 sometimes up to 1300 for under $10! These are basic craft buttons. We sort them into mason jars by color and they make cute decor when not in use so double score!
But take a look around Amazon they have wood buttons, decorative buttons with designs, and even antique buttons. I get so many craft ideas just from looking around!

What can I make with popsicle sticks easy?
This Button Snowflake craft is pretty easy and can be done with even preschool kids. Another one I like to do while not and winter craft is this DIY Button Art Heart Decor You can trace the design and the kids can fill in the button easily. You can do it for any design that doesn't have to be a heart.
Also, keep in mind I suggested using blue or white paint and buttons to match the snow color but really you can use any colors to match your Christmas tree. I like to keep an assortment of acrylic paints on hand for any craft I am doing.
These also make great Christmas gifts for grandparents, aunts, and uncles and great memories for mom and dad!

Directions for Popsicle Stick Snowflake Craft
Form a star with 4 popsicle sticks bu making a plus sign wit 2 of them. Then make an X with the other two and glue them in place. You can also make a smaller version with just 3 popsicle sticks
Then go ahead and paint the sticks with the color of your choice. We used Sky Blue by Apple Barrel. Make paint the snowflake front and back and let it dry completely before moving on.
Glue the buttons on in a pattern form or get creative and make up your own design. If you wish to do the circle design show make sure to start in the center and work your way out.
When you are done let all the buttons dry. Then attach a ribbon or rope around the back for hanging.
I would let it all dry overnight before hanging on the tree.
