Welcome to PAGE TWO of How To Make Hand Painted Log Snowmen.
If you’re on the lookout for a cheap and super cute Christmas decoration then these DIY log snowmen might be just what your looking for.
What you will need:
* Two small logs or fence post or any piece of wood really ( I used small logs)
* Two hats and a scarf (I used 1 scarf and cut it in half)
* Black, & orange, acrylic paint (pink for the cheeks is optional) and white paint.
(If you will have these outside, use an exterior paint… I just used an exterior primer)
* Small paint brushes and a large brush for white paint.
* Pen or pencil to trace the face and buttons.
* Drop cloth or something to paint on.
Instructions:
* Paint the logs with the white paint. Let dry!
* Take a pencil or pen and trace the face and buttons anyway you would like. (Keep in mind that the pen might show through the orange paint… I found this out the hard way!)
* Take your acrylic paint and paint the eyes, mouth and buttons black, and the nose orange. If you want, you can put a little pink on the cheeks. Let dry!
* Next is the fun part! Place the hat on top of the snowman and put the scarf around the neck! I used thumb tacks to secure the scarf around the Snowman. But you could use whatever you want or simply tie the scarf.
Here is the finished product:
