		<description><![CDATA[Button snowflakes are quick and easy Christmas or winter crafts for children to make.  You can make them in any color or combination of colors, although my favorites are white, blue and pink. Each snowflake uses 4 popsicle sticks and a handful of buttons. Glue 2 popsicle sticks to form a cross.  Then glue the other two on diagonally to form the <a href='http://homestead-acres.com/blog/crafts/how-to-make-a-button-snowflake-ornament/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

This year I&#8217;ve been teaching our kids how to make them and they&#8217;ve been having fun creating.
