Huge Popsicle Stick Snowflakes

I don't know if you're like me, but come Christmas time I tend to over decorate.  Is that a bad thing?  Nah!  I like my house to look like the spirit of Christmas threw up in it.  So this past weekend I was looking around the house and saw a blank spot on the living room wall on either side of a large mirror.  I decided right then and there that my wall looked nekkid.  I remembered seeing these snowflakes on Pinterest and since I had a ton of popsicle sticks left over from this project, I decided to go ahead and make them.

These would be perfect hanging in a window.

It's all really simple.  All you need to do is use a glue gun to attach the popsicle or tongue depressor sticks together in a snowflake pattern.  Once that's all dry, you can paint it.

Here they are all ready for paint.

I went with white spray paint and I glued epsom salt all over them to give them a snowy look.

You can't tell from the pictures but they look like crystals.

I'll keep decorating until I run out of steam, usually sometime around Christmas Eve eve.

Here they are all finished again.  

Here are some sites that feature more of this.
