I wonder if you’ve still got any pompoms from your precious projects. You’ll need large white ones as well as small red ones. The color-changing LED tea lights linked in my materials list fit perfectly into the bottom of each assembled snowman. If you choose to reduce the size of your light up snowman, you can put fairy lights inside instead. I found it easier to attach them if I curved them around my Cricut pen, or another rounded object, first. Glue the first one over your scarf’s seam to hide it. Make sure the glue is set before moving on. Then glue the rest one at a time, spacing them as evenly as you can. You can even glue one or two to your scarf ends. Did you know that there is a tradition in Germany that children create all kind of different lanterns in the autumn? There is a big variety of ready-to-buy lanterns available but mostly the German kids want to create their own one.

Pipe cleaner snowballs are actually easier to make than you’d expect. It all comes down to bending your pipe cleaners just so around these styrofoam balls. NOTE: If you’re making the Winter or Valentine’s Day designs, the front of the head will be the section with three semicircle cutouts below the blank space. Now place it on top of the head so the edges are aligned. Add a small amount of glue to one of the tabs and push it down so it's against the inside edge of the head. Hold it in place until the glue dries.Sledding during the winter months is such a blast. Can you recall the rushing, heady sensation of swishing down white slopes and feeling the biting wind against your cheeks? I positioned the pattern on the plywood and drew around it with a pencil. I used 3mm plywood for my snowman, but you can use whatever thin material you have, such as hardboard, paneling, lauan, etc. If you like, feel free to jazz it up with a couple of leaves or berries. You can just place them in the mold, pour your water and allow them to freeze as is. 20. Snowman Bath Bombs You’re done with the top hat! If you’d like to add a finishing touch, you can even curl the edges of your brim up using a rounded object, such as your Cricut pen. Curving the edges against an object will prevent the paper from folding or bending.

Place your four white pieces with cutout designs for the body (two of Piece A) and head (Pieces B and C) face down. Use a scraper to fold all the tabs (other than the two at the top or bottom) in the same direction. Also fold along the three center connections of each piece. I made my snowman’s face out of 3mm plywood, which I had left over from making these picture frame ornaments. I like to make my patterns rigid, so the pencil has a guide to follow. So I sprayed adhesive on a manila folder, placed the snowman face on top, and cut out the design with scissors.If you can't find some suitable small circular shapes to draw around try out lids, toilet rolls, sellotape, tins or pogs (if you have a portal to 1994). These are not quite the same as the snowman lanterns, no. But they do achieve the same purpose, albeit in a simpler way.

If you’re making the Winter design, you’ll have two cute mittens to add in place of the arms. Let me show you how to attach those!Winter wreaths and Christmas wreaths are pretty different. While you can use a winter wreath at Christmas, a Christmas wreath might not work in the winter months after the holiday.

Do the same thing with your other connector piece, making sure all four tabs are attached really well. This mason jar snowman is a lovely decorative addition to your winter-themed home decor. It’s also something that I bet your kids will enjoy making, so feel free to involve them, too! A miter saw and a scroll saw are all you’ll need to build this simple project. A brad nailer and pin nailer were used to speed up the construction process, but they’re not necessary. Use the diagram in the printed plan to position the bottom of the hat on the face and attach using brad nails.TIP: I used MDF pieces between the slats to help position them, but you could use any similar material, like plywood.
