How to Turn Anything into a Snowman

You can really use your imagination on these snowman crafts. Start with something white (wood, pitcher, juice can lid, etc.) and add the embellishments above.

Here are some ideas:

Snowman Body

Basically, you can turn anything white or that you can paint white into a snowman.

wood scraps
pitcher
juice can lid
tin can
bottle
frame
mirror
sock
t-shirt
Glenn’s MDF snowman

Snowman Eyes/Mouth

Depending on the size of the project, I usually make my snowmen’s eyes and mouth out of either black buttons or just draw little dots with a black Sharpie.

black buttons
Sharpie marker, black
black felt
paint or paint marker in black

Snowman Nose

Again, use anything orange and “carrot-shaped”.

Snowman Hat

Every snowman needs a hat, right?

Other – Scarf, Etc.
