DIY Paper Bag Gingerbread Snowflakes. Transform simple paper bags into stunning gingerbread-inspired snowflakes for festive, budget-friendly holiday decor!
I love decorating our home with inexpensive ideas that make a big impact. One of my favorite projects to bring the spirit of Christmas into any space is DIY paper bag snowflakes. They are easy to make, customizable, and absolutely stunning. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, these snowflakes are a perfect addition to your holiday decor.
Festive Paper Gingerbread Snowflakes Anywhere
You can make these snowflakes to decorate almost any space in your home. Hang them over your dining table, above your mantel, or in your entryway. I hung mine over our front door, adding a whimsical touch. Just be sure to keep them dry if displayed outdoors on a covered porch.
A Craft I Love
I’ve been making paper bag snowflakes for years, and this time, I added a gingerbread-inspired twist. The charming details made them extra festive, and I love how they turned out!

Gingerbread Snowflake Supplies
Gather these simple supplies to make your snowflakes:
- Large paper bags
- Glue sticks or hot glue
- Scissors
- Clear fishing line
- A white paint pen
Choose a Snowflake Design
Start by deciding on your snowflake’s look. Add gingerbread-style details, like dots and squiggles, with your paint pen.
Prep the Paper Bags
Cut 12 paper bags using your design. Stack them neatly and take one bag from the stack.
Glue the Bags
Apply glue across the bottom and center of the first bag. Lay the next bag on top, aligning the edges. Repeat for all 12 bags.
Assemble the Snowflake
Pull the first bag up and glue it to the twelfth bag to form a circle.
Add a Hole for Hanging
Punch a hole at the top of the snowflake for hanging. Reinforce with tape to prevent tearing.
Finishing Touches
Once assembled, add extra details with your paint pen to personalize your snowflake.
Display and Enjoy
Hang your snowflakes using clear fishing line. They look beautiful above tables, mantels, and doorways!
