DIY Snowflake ❄️ Window Clings

Teen or Tween Craft

By Julie Dikken December 30, 2021
We don't typically have snow, but that doesn't mean you can add a little winter flair to your windows with these DIY snowflake window clings. This easy craft is great for teens and tweens kids to make on their own or for younger kids with close supervision. This craft is a perfect decoration to get your family into the spirt before the winter holidays, but can extend past the holidays and through the winter. 

DIY Snowflake Window Clings

Make this inexpensive craft with just a glue gun and a little glitter. All ages will enjoy the results, but younger kids will need a lot of supervision.

What you will need:
  • Low temp glue gun and glue sticks
  • Glitter
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharpie or permanent marker
What you will do:
  1. Draw a snowflake design on the parchment paper using a sharpie. Turn paper over so that the sharpie doesn't bleed onto the glue.
  2. Using a low temp glue gun, trace the snowflakes in glue.
  3. Sprinkle glitter on the glue while hot.
  4. Let snowflakes cool completely. You can pick off the extra glue threads, or leave them on - either way looks pretty.
  5. Peel off parchment paper and place snowflakes on window. 
Macaroni Tip:  To get them to stick, your window needs to be clean and dry. If the window is cold, we found that heating up the snowflake with a hairdryer immediately before applying helps it to stick to the window better.


Let it snow!
