Easy Dollar Tree Snowflake DIY: Budget-Friendly Winter Craft

With Christmas quickly approaching, I’m planning to decorate with more snowflakes this year. Dollar Tree has started putting out their Christmas items, and I found a simple wooden snowflake that I can’t wait to get creative with!

You can find a list of other items I’ll be using with this wooden snowflake listed below, so you can easily gather everything you need for this fun DIY project.

The supplies that I’ll be using are:

1. One wooden snowflake from the Dollar Tree

2. Doilies from the Dollar Tree

3. Hot glue

4. Mod Podge

5. Scissors

6. Paint brush

7. Mica flakes

Step 1: Apply Mod Podge to the Wooden Snowflake

The first step is to apply a layer of Mod Podge to the wooden snowflake. This will help secure any embellishments and give the surface a nice, smooth finish.

Step 2: Add the Doily

Once you’ve applied the Mod Podge to the snowflake, carefully place the doily on top. Press it down gently to ensure it adheres smoothly to the surface.

Step 3: Secure the Doily with Hot Glue

After positioning the doily, add small dabs of hot glue to the ends of the snowflake. This will ensure the edges are securely attached and prevent any lifting.

Step 4: Trim the Excess Doily

Once the doily is securely in place, carefully trim off any excess material around the edges of the snowflake for a clean, polished look.

Step 5: Apply a Final Layer of Mod Podge

Once you have the doily trimmed you’ll then add more mod podge to the top of the snowflake.
