    Snowman Handmade Christmas Ornament Is The Tops

    This post may contain affiliate links

    Yep, I know it’s just October but DIYer’s start making Christmas crafts several months before the holidays. We have to start early so the tree trimmings are ready for the big day. Also spending time crafting keeps us busy and out of trouble (mostly).

    Snowman Handmade Christmas Ornament

    The Christmas ornament I made over the weekend is part of our yearly 31 Days of Handmade Christmas Ornaments. This is one of my favorite seasonal tours because it’s a great place to find inspiration.

    The Snowmen Ornaments took no time at all to make. Waiting on the spray paint to dry was the time consuming part, but I can always find things to do while the paint dries. I’m not one to sit around and watch paint dry. No downtime for me. Time for the tutorial. (This post contains Amazon affiliate links for your convenience).

    Snowman Handmade Christmas Ornament Tutorial:

    Supplies:
    Ball Jar Lids
    RustOleum Gray Primer Spray Paint
    White Spray Paint
    DAP Rapid Fuse
    Wiggly Eyes
    Twine
    Orange Flower for nose/or similar item

    supplies for handmade snowman ornament

    project supplies

    gray spray paint primer

    Step 1. Prime the jar lids with RustOleum Gray Primer.

    white spray paint for snowman ornament

    Step 2. Spray the jar lids with flat white spray paint.

    googly eyes for snowman

    Step 3. After the paint dries stick on the googly / wiggly adhesive eyes.

    Dap Rapidfuse to apply snowman nose

    Step 4. Adhere the orange nose with DAP RapidFuse.

    I cut petal pieces from an artificial orange flower stem for the nose. To adhere the “nose” to the lid I applied DAP RapidFuse and held the “nose” in place with a wood applicator for 20 seconds to set.

    twine hanger applied with DAP RapidFuse

    Step 5. Add twine for hanging the ornament.

    I applied the twine using the same process as for the nose.

    And that’s all there was to it. The kids will love these ornaments. Who doesn’t love googly eyes. They make me smile every time.

      Wow Kathy, you weren't kidding, these are so simple, quick (despite paint drying time)and pretty inexpensive to make.
      Am hoping to be in craft show close to home on Dec. 10th. Missed it last year due to having right shoulder replaced. Don't want to miss fun this year.
      These ornaments are also so darned cute. love them, hope buyers at show will too. Getting several ideas from this block party. Ornaments need to be quick and inexpensive to make besides being really cute.
      Hope all well for you, keeping busy I imagine.

      Have wonderful Fall week

      I love snowmen. Snowmen are the ornaments I use on my tree every year. Every year I say I am going to get rid of the snowmen but they make me happy. I love them. LOL, thanks for the inspiration.
