DIY twig snowflakes to make for Christmas


This project is so simple, affordable, and perfect for natural Christmas decorations. In a short walk in the park or a nearby forest, we can gather small twigs for our snowflakes. And, urge us to embrace the beauty of nature in our local park or even, our backyard. We should look for straight twigs that look similar in color and texture.


Get inspiration from Scandinavian style

Inspired by the minimalist aesthetic of Scandinavian style, these DIY ornaments are not only simple and easy to make, but they also bring a natural and cozy vibe to your holiday decor.


Experiment with different designs

There are so many different designs of cute twig snowflakes to fall in love with from simple to complicated. Hexagons, octagons, flat or 3D with cute details in various designs and sizes. I experimented with some of them as you can see in the pic. And, I love the way they decorated our Christmas tree this year with a rustic minimalist flair.
