| 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. |
 |
| This is the one I made for my house. I have him displayed near my entry way. |
 |
| 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. 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. I published this post a year ago and thought I would share it again so if any of your crafty peeps that like to give homemade gifts would like an idea. Have a good week.

ReplyDeleteKris, these are adorable and I think you are definitely crafty! They make wonderful gifts…who wouldn’t love receiving one?! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteYour snowmen are charming and unique! That looks like a lot of work to me, but I am inept with a glue gun. And no doubt your friend and her sister look at their snowmen and are so grateful to you!

very cute. I love the textured white balls to begin with, very nice find. Thank you for sharing this very pretty snowman!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented and I thank you so much for making these for me!! My sister loves hers. I had a friend who commented on how cute it was, so needless to say I gave it to her. I learned that sharing something one loves with another is the best gift. Gee... I wonder who taught me that, my friend :)
ReplyDeleteI still can not figure how how to comment as I don't show up as Anonymous!!
Brilliant Kris! I do remember this from last year, but it's too good to just show once. Gilly (UK)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris, I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteWe are under another snow storm watch for Tuesday - Wednesday, I just might be able to make a snowman family here.. with real snow.
Adorable!! I remember these, but this year, I'm going to pin them and maybe try my hand at making a few in January when the Christmas decorations have come down and my house needs a little winter bling. I absolutely love these and those pom poms hanging from the trim is just the best!! I hope you stay warm this week..brrr...it's cold outside!! xo
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! You did a great job on them. I don’t remember your first post so this is all new to me!
ReplyDeleteCute craft! I did not remember as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kris, you are indeed crafty. The snowmen are adorable. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, your snowmen are absolutely adorable! I would love to make one! I have a snowman I made years ago that I have sitting on my childhood sled with my bedroom Christmas tree. I love pulling him out every year. Thank you for sharing your cute ideas either way us. 💚🌲❤️⛄️
ReplyDeleteI really love it! It's really beautiful!

They are darling...you have an entire snowman family! I think you did an amazing job, and I think yours are better than the original especially since you blinged the original up!
