Step 1: Choose design template
Begin by plugging in your hot glue gun to let it heat up. Then download this template if you'd like to use our patterns.
Download and print the template and decide what sort of designs you'd like to make. Feel free to sketch your own shapes on the graph paper template we've provided, or simply use the designs we made!
Step 2: Cover template with wax paper
Now that you've selected your designs, put your template on the table, place a sheet of wax paper over the template, and tape it to the table.
Step 3: Prepare wax paper
Now, spray the wax paper with cooking spray. Then wipe the wax paper sheet with a paper towel. (This seems a little counterintuitive, but it leaves just enough of a film on the wax paper that your snowflakes will peel off easily.)
Step 4: Glue lines on your design
Once your glue gone is hot, start "gluing" your snowflake design.
Step 5: Let cool and remove
Let the snowflake cool for a minute or two, then carefully peel it off the wax paper. The cooking spray should help this process.
Step 6: Adhere to window
Use a tiny dot of glue to adhere your snowflake to a window. When you remove your snowflakes, you'll need to clean a little bit of residue, but this is easily accomplished using a paper towel and a little window cleaner.
Step 7: Enjoy your decorative windows
And now, you can have snowflakes on a rainy day!
