You’ll be surprised by what ordinary items can be transformed into beautifully intricate snowflakes. Clothespins become dazzling tree ornaments, reinforcement stickers (yes, that utilitarian office item you’ve had tucked in your drawer forever) become gorgeous gift tags for the very best Christmas gifts, ribbon helps transform an inexpensive throw pillow into seasonal décor, paper straws turn into whimsical window hangings, and well, you get the idea. What’s even better? All these fun snowflake crafts can be completed in an hour or less; with minimal supplies, too. In fact, we bet you already have most on hand. So crack open the door to your craft closet, grab friends or family, and get to work (if you can even call it that). Add a few other Christmas crafts to the itinerary, and soon your home will be a winter wonderland bursting with homemade snowflake decorations. What you’ll need:
