Cute. Little. Snowmen. These little projects are perfect for gifting, craft night, and to add some fun to your Christmas tree! Super easy...always a bonus.
You'll need:
Hot glue gun (I used my mini - smaller dots of glue are needed)
Beer or bottle caps (at least 3 and multiples of 3)
White spray paint
Black and orange acrylic paint
Toothpicks
Assorted colored or metallic holiday ribbon
Buttons (small)
First, spray paint your bottle caps white. These may need 2 layers. They take a few hours, even overnight, to dry properly. Do this in a non-damp area so the paint dries quicker.
After they are dry, connect the bottle caps to each other using hot glue on the edges. Hold together for 15-30 seconds until your 3 caps are done and dry. I used a tooth pick to stabilize. Lay toothpick on a strip of hot glue. It helps to do this against a hard flat surface in order to keep the ornament straight and not crooked.
The easy and fun part is next. Using your ribbon, you'll make a loop for hanging and attach on the back with the glue. The toothpicks I also used for the eyes, nose and mouth dots. Much easier and effective! Create the scarf by folding a small piece of ribbon in two and gluing the middle. Glue the scarf to the "neck" of your snowman. Glue on a matching button, and you're done! Allow them to dry for an hour or so after completing.
Awe! These guys make me happy and so excited for Christmas!
Hope you enjoy your crafting!
Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! Be Blessed.
