Such a great crafting project to do with children … thank you for sharing- takes me back to the small paper snowflakes I made as a child ❤

[@gail3136]

L.D.S. , HAS THESE . I DIDN'T KNOW TIL MY NEIGHBOR SHARED THAT TIDBIT WITH ME.

Walmart has white lunch sacks located in the same section as the brown ones. They are a bit thinner but they work if anyone is looking for white bags.

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@sheilagravely5621]

Thanks

[@sheilagravely5621]

I found my brown bags at $tree

[@traption4617]

I like the white ones, also if you have kids they can help you decorate each one with Christmas colors to bring color. I never thought of cutting shapes into them. I like to use spray adhesive and clear glitter all over once it's open and drying. You can be led lights in them too. This year I wanna make a bunch of different ones and use fishing wire to have them hanging from the ceiling!

[@mikkimouse1762]

You get a big thumbs up from me. We made these when I was in grade school and I am 55 now. You brought back great memories. I am going to teach this to my grandchildren. Thank you for such an easy tutorial. This is amazing! Liked ✔ Commented ✔ Subscribed ✔🔔

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Wow thank you so much! This made my day!! 💗 And I love that you’re going to make these with your grandchildren - what fun memories you’re creating with them!

[@juanitacrockett3729]

You can also glue ribbon on the inside of the last two bags and this way you can tie them together and then close them to save for next year.

[@kashleys9749]

Omg,I just had the craziest idea...I wonder if I could try doing this with about 12-20 of the big grocery store paper bags & see if it works(can maybe even use spray paint that is white & metallic or glittery,or use a lg.paint brush & some white paint like even primer w/glitter added,idk). I imagine if it works out alright, the end result would be huge snowflakes w/more room for extra details!?!

[@TheEldersHomestead]

I just did this and love the idea. I place a hole punch in the back near the middle and placed them on the wall. I also spray glued it and sprinkled glitter on . I even cut the bag down in so it was shorter to make smaller snowflakes:)

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Oh wow! I love that you put them on the wall, and used glitter! Feel free to send me pics on Instagram (@shescraftyandsheknowsit) - it sounds beautiful!

[@carolminer]

Thank you for doing the video I love these snowflakes and you made it very easy to see how to do it and I appreciate that thank you again.

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

You’re so welcome! I hope you have a blast making your own. ❤️

[@heatherandpalynfuller2198]

I loved making these! I made several and each time it's a "oooh ahhhh" moment when you open the bags to see the design. One suggestion that I would make is to only use the hot glue when you are stacking the bags together. If you use hot glue to fasten the snowflake together at the end then your stuck having to store a huge snowflake for next year (which would be a huge hassle for me). I hot glued the first snowflake I made and then realized I should have used large paper clips on the back to secure the snowflake shape. I did use paper clips (or small binder clips) on the backside on the other snowflakes I made and it worked perfectly! Now I can just take the paper clips off and fold up the snowflakes to use next year! They will store easily as well.🙂

Wow, great,practical and easy idea!!!

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

This is an AMAZING tip! Thank you so much!

[@Carrival]

This will be a craft for my grandkids this Christmas for sure!!!

[@denises2454]

This is great! I'm having a Winter Wonderland Baby Shower for My daughter-in-law and these are going to be perfect. Thanks for sharing.

[@nancyblair9862]

SO COOL!!!! I saw it with the fold facing up --- but this makes so much more sense! Thanx!😅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@user-ex9ej8pr4o]

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

So glad you found the video helpful! Enjoy your crafting!

[@sassyepiclife]

These are amazing! Thank you for filming and explaining this so we can all see the steps! Every other video on these has been way too fast. These could have the edges dry brushed with any colour of paint you like. Would be beautiful with a gold or silver dry brush. I like them as is too!

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m so glad you found my video helpful! 😊 And I love the idea of dry brushing the edges - that would be so pretty!

[@anonawilliamson8479]

[@giannabarrow7764]

@@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt What fun!!!! Addictive! I made four brown and used 3M stickers to adhere to kitchen wall but will make white snowflakes to suspend from wide doorway for the holidays!

[@saramoreorless7318]

Love these!

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Thank you so much Sara!

[@gypsiemomm]

If making these with kids, you can use a glue stick. I did that last year and the stars lasted for months. They never fell apart!

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Such a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@ayosquilling4353]

Wow😍😍😍 beautiful

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

[@iraidacontreras2129]

[@michellewilfong]

AwEsOmE 👍🏼

[@AshleyAriesK]

Lol,I have the same glue gun & it was in the clearance section at Wal-Mart for $5,got the same paper plates too...Here's a little hint that I'm sure some ppl.will think is stupid 4 me 2 even bother 2 mention but,if u can't get white paper bags,u can paint your bags white b4 u glue them & that creates a neat effect(u prob.won't want to paint the inside of them tho,cuz it's too hard & messy)..

[@mandersonbethel]

How do you attach them to the ceiling?

[@lindastuckey3131]

😍♥️

[@donnaisaman7907]

😊

[@Tamala-kl8ws]

Glue sticks work? Hot glue ?? Elmers seen them all. Which is best?

[@castcatse1837]

Experiment

[@jejemongaming5561]

How many pcs of paper bags for a one lantern?

[@suekimball8901]

What kind of glue gun is it? I missed it.

[@sherrir.1498]

Can you spray paint the snowflakes?

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why you couldn’t! I would definitely recommend doing several light coats rather than a heavy coat. That way you don’t run the risk of the paint running, and you also don’t want to saturate the paper bags so much that they get really wet and damaged. But I think several light coats should work just fine.

[@yvonnecolleran3952]

Great explanation...looking to make with my granddaughters at Thanksgiving

[@bevbridgmon8246]

Or you could use CHRISTMAS bags.

[@lauriebertrand9319]

Glad I found your channel! Yours is the best explanation for making these! I’m making some with my craft girls. Thank you!

[@olivewoo522]

Should you not glue all the way to the top?

[@staypawsative9119]

She did a couple with glue all the way tp top

[@cherollweakland3367]

Followed directions and some of the points are falling inward ???

[@ShesCraftyandSheKnowsIt]

Did you use the hot glue all the way up to the ends of the bags?
