Cut two jumbo
craft sticks in half with scissors. Paint the four half craft
sticks and two additional full craft sticks with grey acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
Download, print, and cut out the ICE SKATE PATTERNS.
Using straight pins, secure the pattern to grey craft felt.
Cut out with scissors. Repeat with a second ice skate shape.
Cut the blade off of the ice skate boot on the pattern. Pin the ice skate boot only pattern onto blue craft felt.
Glue the blue felt ice skate boots on top of the grey felt ice skates with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Flip the skates over and trim any excess grey craft felt with scissors.
Use a Crop-A-Dile tool to punch out the lacing holes in the paper pattern. Use a black marker to mark where the holes go on the felt.
Use the Crop A Dile to punch the holes out of the felt.
Attach the two half craft sticks to the ice skate at the heel and the center of the boot with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Attach the full craft stick horizontally to the two vertical half craft sticks to complete the blades of the ice skates.
Measure and cut a 48” length of white yarn for each skate. Wrap the end in clear tape to assist with lacing.
Starting at the top of the skate, thread the yarn through the holes, wrapping it around the outer edge of the felt skate boot.
At the bottom, thread the yarn through the last hole again and then lace it back to the top hole.
Tie the yarn in a bow and trim any long ends with scissors. Repeat for the second skate.
Paint two wooden snowflakes with white acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat if necessary.
Accent the ice skate blades and snowflakes with iridescent glitter glue. Put the glue in dots along the blade. While it is still wet, use your finger or a paintbrush to spread it out.
Glue a small white tinsel pom to the center of each snowflake with a glue gun and glue sticks.
To finish, glue the snowflakes to the ice skates.
