How to Make a DIY Sparkling Icicle

Step 1. Let’s begin by cutting out a piece of aluminum foil from your roll of foil.

Step 2. Now, fold the top part of the foil down about 1 inch.

Step 3. Next, fold up each of the bottom corners to about the middle of the piece of foil. When you are finished with this step, you should have two symmetrical triangles.

Step 4. Now, cut out a 9” piece of twine and make a knot at the end.

Step 5. Next, add some glue to the top corner of the folded foil. Attach the piece of twine here, with the knot on the glue.

Step 6. Start to loosely roll the aluminum foil into a cylindrical shape. To do this, you should start from the side where you have attached the twine.

Step 7. When you are done rolling the foil, squeeze the top of the foil around the twine tightly.

Step 8. Now, it is time to form your foil into an icicle shape. To do this, start at the top and squeeze the foil gently.

When you get to the bottom, squeeze the foil tightly so that it becomes narrow at the bottom and looks like an icicle.

Step 9. You can make different sized icicles. Some can be smaller and some can be larger.

Step 10. Next, get your paint brush and use it to brush a thin layer of glue all over your icicle.

Step 11. Let’s add some glitter and make your icicle sparkle! To do this, apply your glitter powder randomly all over your icicle.

Alternatively, you can make lines with your glue and sprinkle the glitter powder over it for a neater look. Be sure to let it dry completely.

Step 12. Your icicle is complete! You can hang it up and add a ribbon at the top if you’d like.
