Easy DIY Button Snowflake Ornament
This Easy DIY Button Snowflake Ornament craft is one nearly anyone can make. This is a simple Christmas tree ornament that can be made in under 15 minutes to add to your handmade ornament collection.
Under adult supervision (glue guns + scissors!), a child could easily make these. If an adult clips the pipe cleaners, and the glue gun was eliminated, this really is a simple enough craft for young one who has decent hand eye coordination. Use your best judgement when determining if your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) is old enough to make any craft.
