   This snowflake ornament is a beautiful decoration for any Christmas tree. This craft is easy enough for children to do, and makes a great school Christmas craft.

Things Needed:

  • Clear glass ball ornament
  • Imitation snow (available in craft stores near the holidays, it comes in a bag)
  • Small piece of scrap paper and a pencil
  • Silver glitter glue 
  • Silver snowflake sequins



1.  Begin the ornament by removing the top covering to the ornament and set it aside.  Next, make a little funnel out of rolled up piece of paper.  Place this inside the opening to the ornament, then feed some snow through the funnel.  Use a pencil to help push it through.  Fill it up at least half way with snow.
