Steps

  • Step 1

    Gather your bricks

    A pile of LEGO bricks

    You can look for white and blue pieces or get creative and make snowflakes of any color.

  • Step 2

    Make your snowflakes

    A LEGO snowflake

    1. Start with a rigid shape in the middle of your snowflake, such as a circle.
    2. Form the six arms of the snowflake (don’t forget to use the same six pieces here) and try to build outwards from the circle in a symmetrical pattern.
    3. Add corner pieces onto the back of the snowflake arms to make little branches.
    4. Use transparent pieces to add an icy sparkle.

    Top tip:Why not experiment using hinge plates to curve the sides of your snowflake?

  • Step 3

    Time to decorate

    Attach some ribbon so they can hang on door handles or add some thin white thread, so they look like snowflakes falling from the sky.
