• Sharp scissors or wire cutters

• Piece of silver or gold Christmas metallic elastic wrapping cord about 10 in/25 cm long

Join the three long pieces of pipe cleaner by twisting the centers together and then stretching the spokes out. This will create a six-pointed star. To be sure that the pipe cleaners are securely attached, press the twisted area with the needle-nose pliers.

Begin the spoke design by taking a 3-inch/7.5-cm piece of pipe cleaner, placing it midway on one of the arms, and wrapping it around the arm so that the pieces cross. Make sure each spoke projects an equal distance on e ither side of the arm; if necessary, trim the ends with scissors. Secure with pliers. Repeat with the rest of the arms to create all six spokes.

Repeat the process above with the next-longest pieces, positioning them slightly above the first set of spokes.

Finally, repeat the process a third time with the remaining pieces, adding them near the tips of the arms.

When you’re ready to hang the snowflake, wrap a piece of cord around one of the arms, and then gather the cord to the back and tie the ends to make a loop.
