Yule Ball Inspired Snowflakes

Yule Ball Inspired Snowflakes




















Strangely, I thought of these snowflakes at IKEA.  I found a box of spare screws and parts in the "AS IS" section.  It said that a bag of screws and parts (the bag has to be the plastic bags near the box) was 1$! This meant that you could fill up the bag up to the top, and  still only pay 1$!  So I bought a bag of screws (and got a few bad looks from customers), and did this craft.  These snowflakes can not be found in the movies, but they reminded me of the Yule Ball, so I thought you guys should enjoy them too.

Materials Needed:

-Some screws in various lengths (read description under top picture for how I got mine)
-Some "wheels" (at least that's what they are, I found them in the screw box that I talked about above) (see pictures for details)
-Hot glue + Glue gun

1.  Hot glue one of your longest screws in the middle of one "wheel".  This is the stand.

2.  Start by drawing out a design in your head, or on a piece of paper.

3.  Complete your design by hot glueing the screws onto the circumference of the "wheel, and onto the other screws.  See my examples for ideas.  Voila!
