Dollar Tree Snowflake Craft Idea

Hello sweet friends,
Today’s DIY project is a super CUTE and EASY one; a Dollar Tree snowflake craft idea. These wooden snowflakes caught my eye at the local Dollar Tree, and I knew I wanted to get creative with them.

This project, like so many others that I have featured, is easy and very budget-friendly, and is so cute, you’ll want to leave it on display all winter.

Follow along for the supply list and simple instructions.

Supply list

Dollar Tree wooden snowflake
wood biscuits
white paint and paint brush
E6000
glue gun, optional
faux snow, optional
Mod Podge, optional
embellishments; pearl or half wood beads

The first step for this project is to arrange the wood biscuits onto the snowflake until you like how it looks. I found the wood biscuits at my local Lowe’s, but they are available at many places as well as online. Here is my Amazon affiliate link for the wood biscuits.

There are two different styles of the snowflakes at Dollar Tree and I wanted to show you both of them. The one on the right was already painted white from a previous project. But I think if you’re starting from scratch, it’s easier to paint after the wood biscuits are glued on. The snowflake on the right also has a half wood bead as the center.

Once the wood biscuit are arranged to your liking, you will want to glue them with some E-6000 or some type of more permanent glue. You may use hot glue but it may not be as long-lasting.

After letting the glue dry overnight, get out your white paint and paint the entire snowflake white. I used Waverly chalk paint in the color plaster and it took a couple coats with dry time in between. If you think you will be displaying the finished piece by hanging it in a window, then you may want to cover the back side as well. But that is optional.

Embellishing the Dollar Tree Snowflake Craft

The final step was to embellish the snowflakes. i chose to add some pearls that were flat on one side (from Dollar Tree). And also added some faux snow using Mod Podge. And the final snowflakes turned out FANTASTIC! Wow, so pretty!
