I’m originally from Michigan, so winters with tons of snow and winter fun make up some of my favorite childhood memories!
Seeing the snow sparkle in the moonlight, building igloos, sledding, cross country skiing, snowmen, soaking wet knitted mittens made by my great-grandma…these are my childhood Michigan memories!
(Speaking of mittens, we have a great tutorial below with instructions to knit up some beautiful snowflake mittens!)
There is not nearly as much snow where I live now, and the real stuff is not quite as fun when you are an adult who has to shovel and drive in it!
So now I go crazy with snowflake decorations!
Snowflake decorations aren’t just for kids! We have found new, unique, and wonderful DIY snowflake decorations for you to make and enjoy this winter season.
I like decorating with snowflakes because they can stay up for several months and are seasonal as opposed to related to holidays.
My Christmas decorations come down at the first of January, but I can keep my home decorated with snowflakes long after the Christmas things are all boxed up and put away.
The snowflake crafts that you will find on this page are sure to delight you! Both making them and decorating with them are so fun and festive!
Tons of Snowflake Fun!
We have so many snowflake crafts on this page that I will give you just a quick peek to get you inspired, then be sure to scroll down and take a look at all there is to see!

You get the idea!
