I cannot just give up on pipe cleaner snowflakes. ‘Casuse there are actually 5 more ways to make a pipe cleaner snowflake that I want to discuss with you today. The snowflakes this time are elegant, creative, and seem to MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE A HIT!
To reveal a bit, I have a classic snowflake from Sparkle pipe cleaners and a 3D snowflake made from many layers of snowflakes. Well, I won’t stop here; two ways are entirely out of the box. So, why not try them? They are dear snowflakes anyway.
Learn crafting with pipe cleaners with a detailed pipe cleaner guide!
Way #1: Glittery Pipe Cleaner Snowflake with Edging
It won’t be wrong if I say this is the easiest way to make a pipe cleaner snowflake, and it is so beautiful. All you need is to learn how to make a petal from a pipe cleaner with a silver pipe cleaner as an edging.
Then, keep gluing them to the snowflake. The centre needs 6 of these, and the outer snowflake needs 6, each containing a set of three.
Yes, it will end up so elegant and bring shine to your Christmas tree and accessories. And yes, it will be quick when you call family members and friends around.
We Need:
- Blue and silver pipe cleaners (20cm cut-out for the petal)
- Beads
Way #2: Large Pipe Cleaner Snowflake
This solid-color pipe cleaner snowflake is large, still easy, and made from a diamond and knotted pipe cleaner petals. This one has the centre adornment as a “snowflake jewel.”
For making the knotted twists, this snowflake will need a pencil or stick. The diamond one and the braided one both need 15cm cutouts.
The assembly might be a bit messy because of attaching the overlapping snowflake halves. Make one for your Christmas celebrations using green pipe cleaners or stick with pink.
- Needs about 12 pipe cleaners
Way #3: Layered Snowflake from Pipe Cleaners
Maybe you are looking for pipe cleaner snowflakes to put on your desktop. Well, then make this 3D snowflake in three layers of flat snowflake. The white bead in the centre is really kicking off my heart. And making it is quite easy, though a bit messy, I think.
I am talking about those mini petals (yes, quite small that you may need a clench to bend). The catch is in the construction; it’s not like usual layers, but joining the clusters sideways. Just see how clever it is!
- Pliers
- Some pipe cleaners in single color
- White bead
Way #4: Colorful Snowflake from Pipe Cleaners
Wanna create a holiday gift? Why not try this colorful and unique snowflake out of pipe cleaners? This one needs three ways of folding the pipe cleaner, and in two different colors (of course, you may want something golden in the centre).
The one is a diamond, the second is a spiral twist, and the third is again a diamond, but small. You can DIY it in less than 20 minutes. I cannot express how cute it will look.
- Bundle of pipe cleaners
- Pliers
Way #5: Classic Transparent Snowflake from Pipe Cleaners
And here comes the most elegant and life-like way of making a snowflake – the classic snowflake pattern. This looks so pretty, and this one actually uses transparent but glittery pipe cleaners for a crystalline feel.
This one needs two patterns: centre circle (spiral) and six snowflake leaves. It won’t be difficult to make it, just glue well, as there are many, many parts.
