I am always looking for something new to add to my Christmas tree each year.  My tastes haven’t changed much from year to year.  I still like the classic red and white and I just absolutely love snowmen!  So I wanted to go with something along those lines when I was thinking of making fun DIY Christmas ornaments this year.  I also wanted something that the kids could get involved with.

I love how these pom pom snowmen turned out!  I started out by making small pom poms with some white yarn I had in my cupboard.  Here is a tutorial on how to make mini pom poms if you want to give it try for this project.  They are simple to make, they just take a little time to get them to look the way you want.

For a hat for the snowman I found these candle cups with a hold in the bare wood section of the craft store.  They were by the wooden spools which you could also use if you wanted to cut them in half.  I used acrylic paint to paint the hats black and then added a little holly to brighten them up.  I used a small paint brush for the holly berry leaves and the end of a paint brush for the berries.

For the arms and the scarf I decided to use pipe cleaners.  I like that you can get any color you want, and that they are simple to bend to make anything you want.  For the arms I just decided how big I wanted one side, twisted a loop in the middle and then did the other side to match.  For the scarf I just twisted 2 pipe cleaners together, decided how long I wanted it, looped it in the middle and did the other side before I trimmed it.

To assemble the snowman I used some thin gauge wire.  I cut about a 12 inch piece and made a hook at one end.  Then I threaded it through the first pom pom and pushed it all the way through until the hook grabbed the bottom.  It took a little finesse  to thread the pom poms through, so be a little patient with that step.  I continued to add my pom poms and arms, scarf, pom pom and finally the hat.  (I liked it a little off to the side.)

I then created a big loop and then wrapped the remaining wire around itself toward the snowman and trimmed it.  See how I left that little end sticking out?  That lets you hold down the hat and keeps all the pieces from moving around too much.

I used a piece of orange felt and cut out a small carrot nose.  Just glue that on with hot glue or craft glue.

Aren’t they so cute all hung up along with my red and white decorations?!?!  They are a perfect addition!

We had mixed feelings about the faceless snowman so with the end of the paint brush I added some eyes and mouth.

I like them with out the eyes and mouth, but either way I think they are fun and the kids would love to help make them.

 

These DIY Christmas ornaments would be fun for a class party, teacher gifts, attaching to your neighbor gifts, or just adding to your own decorations.

Happy Crafting!
