How Kids Can Turn Wrapping Paper Into Wall-Ready Snowflakes

Looking for a simple, stylish holiday craft that keeps the kids happily creating—and leaves your home looking beautifully festive? Paper snowflakes made from wrapping paper are a wonderful way to blend creativity with cohesive design. In our home, we love projects that let our little ones express themselves while still supporting the overall aesthetic of our space.

Start by gathering a selection of wrapping papers that fit your holiday color palette. Parents can guide the process by choosing patterns and hues that complement your decor, whether you’re drawn to classic reds and greens, soft winter neutrals, or metallic elegance. Once you’ve curated your papers, let the kids take over.

Cut the paper into squares, fold them into triangles, and let little hands snip away—tiny shapes, curves, diamonds, anything their imaginations spark. When unfolded, each snowflake becomes a unique work of art. Encourage your kids to make a variety of sizes to add dimension and playfulness.

To display them, use double-sided tape or removable adhesive to create a whimsical snowflake wall. Cluster them above a console, scatter them along a hallway, or create a magical backdrop in the playroom.

It’s a simple craft, a joyful moment together, and a beautiful way to make your home feel warm, personal, and full of holiday cheer.
