Easy Paper Snow Cloud Craft

Today, we are sharing an easy yet adorable recycled paper craft.

When the clouds in our sky are not producing snowflakes, we turn to these cuties to brighten our day!

SUPPLIES:

Brown Kraft Paper (we used what we found in a delivery box, the more wrinkled the better!)

Fork

Scissors

White Crayon

Start by doubling up your paper and cutting out your cloud shape.

Any size will do, little clouds hung on doorknobs are adorable and giant clouds hung on the wall are gorgeous too!

Next, use your hole punch to make evenly (a half inch) spaced holes around your entire cloud shape.

Be sure to punch through both layers!

Use your yarn to hand stitch the cloud together, you could use a straight stitch or a blanket stitch.

Be sure not to go all the way around, as you will need an opening to stuff the cloud and create the beautiful puffy effect.

Use scraps of paper to stuff your cloud. We crinkled up the leftovers from cutting out our cloud.

Now you can complete your stitches all the way around!

Now to create your pom pom snowflakes!

Wrap the end of a fork at least 20 times with your yarn. The more you wrap it, the fuller your pom pom will be!

Next tie a small piece of yarn around the center of your wrapped yarn as pictured above.

Snip the yarn up both sides of your fork. Your are in effect cutting the loops you have created.

Your pom pom will need to be fluffed and even trimmed to take on a uniformed shape.

Attach yarn, in your desired lengths, to the pom poms and attach to the bottom of your cloud.

You can alternate the lengths or vary them depending on your preference on how the snowflakes will hang.

Our youngest decided her cloud needed a face and I’m quite smitten with her creation!

Our oldest chose to color hers in with a white crayon and the results are beautiful!

What do you think? I’m in love with the textures and hygge-ness of these cozy creations!
