Steps
Draw a six-point snowflake template on paper, about 8 cm across, and cut it out.
Trace the template onto foamiran and cut out the shape with sharp scissors.
Cut a second, smaller snowflake from contrasting foam and centre it on the first.
Glue the layers together and press gently for a few seconds so the points line up.
Punch or carefully pierce a small hole near one point and thread ribbon through it.
Tie a loop in the ribbon and add a bead or small knot to hold it in place.
Add small dots of glue and sprinkle glitter or press on beads while the glue is tacky.
Let the ornament dry flat for 20 to 30 minutes before hanging it.
Tips and common mistakes
Fold the paper template in half and cut both sides together to keep the six points even.
Wipe the foamiran with a dry cloth before gluing, because dust stops the glue from sticking.
Use low-temp hot glue or foam-safe craft glue so the foam does not melt or pucker.
Hang the ornament by a wide ribbon loop so the foam does not tear through a small hole.
Questions
What is foamiran?
Foamiran is a thin, flexible craft foam sheet. It cuts cleanly with scissors and holds its shape, so it works well for flat ornaments.
Can I use felt instead?
Yes. Felt works for the same layered snowflake design. Use fabric glue or a needle and thread instead of foam glue.
How big should the snowflake be?
A 7 to 8 cm template makes a good tree ornament. Scale the template up or down, but keep the six points even.
