| I bought this Snowman from a vendor place that I like to frequent. It was so cute and I was with a friend and she said I would really love one of those for myself and for her sister for Christmas. Now I am not Mrs. Crafty by any stretch of the imagination but I looked at it and said I think I can make these. Off to Hobby Lobby I headed. |
 |
| This was what they used for their snowman base. A candle votive. Hmmmm..... |
 |
| Before my trip to Hobby Lobby I thought I need to get some bases. I found two of the above at Goodwill and the other one the clear candlestick at Home Goods. |
 |
| Picked up ribbon and bling pieces from Hobby Lobby. Everything was 1/2 off SCORE!!! |
 |
| Here is where I ran into a snag in the crafting project. I looked everyone on line and in Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart to find the snowman hats. Could not find anything that would work. Like in the Three Bears story they were either too small or too big or not made of felt. I had a delima. I did not let it stop me. While in Walmart I came across these snowman tree toppers for $10. The hat was perfect and I would have the noses too. Score again. |
 |
| They worked out perfect and since they were tree toppers they had reinforcement inside the hat to keep them tall and full. |
 |
| This was theirs and below you will see what I came up with. |
 |
| The one on the very far right is the one I bought to copy. Of course I could not leave it alone so I blinged it up a little more than it was. The other three are the ones I made. I had a vintage snowman hat and it worked out perfect to do the little rustic snowman. I like the way they came out. My friend took the two taller ones I made and I have the little primitive rustic guy for my daughter Jen and the other taller snowman I bought and fixed up for my other daughter Kimmie. These were pretty easy to make. The heads I originally thought were white plastic pumpkins but nope they are big white ornaments I found at Hobby Lobby. They are exactly the same as the sample. I think they came out pretty cute. I am not as crafty as some of you are. I do not sew but I am mighty with my glue gun!!! I used buttons for the eyes the noses came from the tree toppers and all the other ribbon and bling pieces I found at Hobby Lobby. I used blush for their cheeks. Have a good week. Hugs, Kris |

Super, super cute, Kris! Don't say you aren't crafty because I know better! You & Terry are a dynamic duo in big projects, and you are just as good designing and figuring out everything from the small stuff to big. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH, Kris-Those are ADORABLE! You always say you are NOT crafty but you really ARE---more than you know. Just the way you wrap packages is a gift itself! Love these and you did a great job (as good as the original)---or better with the bling factor added! Have a wonderful rest of the week- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteKris, these are so darn cute. Great job! You are crafty my friend. Like Diana said, the way you decorate and design your gift packages is amazing. The snowmen are so adorable. They are great gifts.
ReplyDeleteThese turned out beautifully! That was a very adventurous project and you pulled it off perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed. Have you been absent from blog land or have I just totally missed your post. Whatever, glad to see we are back together
ReplyDeleteKris - these are adorable!! How can you say you are not crafty? Everything you touch is gorgeous and so lovely. Hope you are enjoying that new baby and getting ready for Thanksgiving. We need a good long visit after Thanksgiving. Hopefully soon. Great job! Judy Clark
ReplyDeleteWOW Kris, you are talented and crafty! I love the way your snowmen came out and everyone will LOVE them! I think I like yours better than the original. Enjoy the rest of the week Kris.
ReplyDeleteThe snowmen are so very cute, love them!! -Pam from CA
ReplyDeleteAdorable Kris, you did a great job creating your own!! So fun for Christmas and January. LOVE them!!
ReplyDeleteKris, totally adorable! See you are craftier than you think. I made something similar a few years back and always forget to put them out. You have reminded me. I love picking up little old candlesticks at thrift stores for bases for little trees. You did a wonderful job and I bet the girls were over the moon to get them..Happy Tuesday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteOk, so first of all, you are definitely crafty! Your DIYs are always top notch...and second...wow!! I love these snowmen. Now I want to make a few of my own!! SO sweet. xo
ReplyDeleteI love them!!! You did a great job. Happy Christmas Crafting!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, look at you go, girl! I love these. They're adorable. Great job, Miss Crafty Pants LOL! Love you!♥ Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThese snowmen are SO cute!! You say you aren't crafty...ha! I think you just disproved that theory. <3
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Those are so cute! I love how yours turned out. I’d say you are very crafty!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I’ve been looking for a top hat too but there are none to be found. I don’t think my Walmart has the snowman toppers you found. I’ll just have to come up with my own, I guess. Your snowmen are adorable!

I am the lucky recipient of the two Kris made. Don't believe her when she says she is not crafty!! These are so much cuter than the one that she bought. She did an amazing job.....now to see if my sister really gets on or not. ;)
ReplyDeleteThose Snowfolks are just adorable..You did a fabulous job..love all of them. I may see if I can come up with something in all my clutter and make one later..You always come up with good stuff. Enjoy the Season and thanks for the lesson and the show and tell. Enjoy..They will be cute for a long time in the Winter. Bling Bling..love love love.
ReplyDeleteKris. I haven’t seen you in quit awhile. Last post was renovating your 4th (?) home. I was worried something might have happened. So glad your post show up. Love your snowmen. Great job. Tfs cheers
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness, all your snowmen are so cute!! Love them. What a great idea someone came up with.................and nice that it was fairly easy to duplicate. Yea, glue guns are awesome for things like that. Haven't had mine out in a long time. If I get some extra time I might want to try making one of these cute snowmen.
ReplyDeleteLove how you embellished yours, beautiful as always.
Have a lovely Christmas Season!! Can't believe Friday is Dec. 1st already.
My Fall stuff is down and packed away, and my nativity set is up, gotta get
the rest of the Christmas things out today, so hoping for a creative day. lol
