Welcome to PAGE TWO of the Snowman Ornament Tutorial.

These little snowman ornaments can also be used to make a beautiful snowman wreath which you can learn more about from the tutorial source link at the bottom of this page.

This is a fun project the kids can help with and only require a fre materials to make them. So, let’s get busy shall we?

What you will need:

• styrofoam balls – 2 balls @ 2″ and 1 ball @1/5″ (this will make one snowman)
• mod podge – gloss
• glitter – white iridescent
• 2 black half round beads for eyes (5mm)
• lollipop sticks 2″ long
• skewers
• felt scraps (any color)
• fabric scraps, approx. ¾” x 8”
• acrylic craft paint in orange
• pink chalk or blush
• glue gun
• craft glue

Instructions:

1. Using the 2” half balls for the bottom and middle balls, and the 1-1/2” half ball for the head. Glue together with low-temp glue.
2. Brush Mod Podge onto snowmen and sprinkle with glitter. Let dry.
3. Add details to the snowmen:
   • Nose: Cut 1” pointed tips from skewers and paint orange. When dry, insert into faces.
   • Eyes: Glue two black beads above the nose.
   • Cheeks: Apply blush or chalk.
   • Arms: Insert lollipop sticks into sides; add glue to secure. If you like, angle each snowman’s arms differently for more personality.
   • Mittens: Cut from felt and glue to ends of arms.
   • Scarves: Carefully tie a ¾” x 8” strip of fabric around each neck; fringe the ends.
4. Make a hanger from 1/8” wide ribbon, and pin and glue to the snowman’s head.
