Remove the metal springs from 8 of the large and 8 of the small clothespins.

Using the craft glue or the hot glue gun, attach two of the wooden pieces of the clothespin, flat sides together. When connected, they will resemble or human figure of sorts (see photo). Repeat with the remaining clothespins, large and small.

Take two of the larger connected pieces (I am going to call them “The Arms”) and form a right angle (see photo) and using the craft glue or the hot glue gun, attach them together. Repeat.

Now, using the craft glue or the hot glue gun, attach the two sections together so they form a “+” (see photo)

Next, take the remaining 4 “Arms” and using the craft glue or the hot glue gun, attach each of the 4 “Arms” into each “V”, forming a large snowflake.

Repeat Steps 3-5 for the smaller clothespin pieces, making a smaller snowflake. Position the smaller snowflake on top of the larger one, rotating it so the tips of the “Arms” intersect with the “V” of the larger snowflake (see photo). Using the craft glue or the hot glue gun, attach the smaller snowflake to the larger snowflake.

Paint with white craft paint using a paintbrush. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Then if desired, using the craft glue or glue gun, attach your pompom to the middle of the snowflake.

Cut a 6” length of ribbon or twine, form a loop, and using the craft glue or glue gun, attach it to the top of the back side of the craft stick. Allow to dry completely before hanging.
