I am living in a country where there are no four seasons, only four weather, sunny, windy, cloudy and rainy. And I got to experience my first winter when I made my second trip to South Korea last December.
During my second day there, snow started to fall against the window. I got out from my coach and let the snow fell onto my face gently. I did not realize that it indeed looking like a snowflake till someone told me to look at it closely. It was so so so amazing! I seriously had no idea it looked exactly the same as what I have seen from cartoon! They are just so adorable and so cute to be admired.
To symbolize what I have seen, I made one together with my son who enjoyed snow as much as me.
Materials:
• a packet of wooden clothespin
• white paint
• white, silver, light blue glitter
• white glue
• super glue
• paint brush
• a roll of gold thread
How to make one:
1. Using a screw driver, remove the metal thingy that is holding the clothespin. We need 7 pairs of clothespin to make 1 snowflake.
2. Using white glue to stick them with the flat side facing each other. Leave dry.
3. Using white paint, paint both front and back. And lay them in a line.
4. Before leaving them dry, sprinkle them with white, silver and light blue glitter. Leave dry.
5. Using 7 pairs of clothespin, assemble them into a shape of a snowflake. Using super glue/ hot glue, apply on both sides of a pair of clothespin. Leave dry. You have a snowflake now.
6. Cut a small strand of gold thread, go through a small hole of a pair of clothespin and tie a knot.
And you are done 🙂
